Is this generic fluoxetine? It's a small white round pill with 10 on one side. The other side has nothing and is smooth. ## Hello, Jay! How are you? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what this contains, so far, I've not been able to determine a definitive identification. However, I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet?

Ive been on 40mg. of Prozac for twenty years and would sometimes get a slight headache and would go off Prozac for a few days and go back on it Recently my headaches have gotten a lot worse. I'll go off Prozac for a few days and when I go back on it my headaches are still bad. What should I do.? ## Hello, Nancy! How are you? I am very sorry about the headaches. Prozac can cause headaches as a side effect, but that's usually only for the first month or so, until your body gets used to it. It is not normal for them to occur after you've been on it for awhile. You may just be getting occasional headaches, then actually made the situation worse by assuming they were from the Prozac and going on/off of it. Have you consulted your doctor about this, yet? Do you take any other medi...

I have taken Tofranil PM for over twenty years, with great success. Now that I am retired, I can't afford it and Imipramine Pamote works well, but I can not afford it either. Since it is a generic why is it so high. My insurance will not pay for it either. So I have been ordering it from Canada. They never give me the same meds, it is always a different pill (imipramine HCL). I am afraid I am getting depressed again. Where can I get imipramine pamote at a better price? Is there any help for a old person (71) if Medcare and Humana won't cover this? ## Hello, Skoshilady! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having. I didn't find any assistance programs for this medication. What others have you tried? There are many others available that are much c...

How are you? Have you informed your OB Gyn that you're taking these medications? That's what you need to do, so they can check for any risks or problems, as well as make sure you are switched to safer medications. How far along are you?

Does anybody have something good to say about Imipramine? ## Hi Becky, Surprisingly I haven't really seen too many reviews on Imipramine or how people have been effected by it. What I can tell you though is that most of these types of medications can and usually do affect everyone differently; so going off someone else's experience may not be the best way to gauge how it's going to effect you in the long run. More often than not, people who have a positive reaction to something usually don't take the time to post about it online. So what we typically see on forums is negative reviews for those who it didn't end up working for. Unfortunately the only way to know for certain is to try it for yourself. You can also learn more about this drug on the page for Imipramine D...

I forgot to take my tablet last night at 6pm and I took one at 10am this morning when I remembered to take it. What time should I take it tonight? Also I am feeling very nauseous - is there something I should do in order to feel better? I have had some neurofen but the headache is not going away at all. Also I am dizzy. ## Hope you are better by now. Resume normal dosage when you miss one. Try saltines for your stomach. I use ibuprofen for headaches and body aches. Ask your doc about dizziness. I take Cymbalta before bed. ## I was told to take it at 6 pm when I get home from work. I only get dizzy when I forget to take it and feel like crap the next day and have to take myself to bed and don't like driving when I feel like this. What are saltines? ## Saltines are crackers like Premi...

my want to know if she can take night nyquil with fencanyl 50mg patch ## Hello, Lori! How are you? It wouldn't be advisable to do so, unless it is cleared by her doctor. Both can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could cause lowered heart rate and blood pressure that has the potential to be dangerous. Is she on any other medications?

There is a chance that it could be due to the medication, but I can't say for sure. Have you used any new soaps, skin care products, or laundry detergents recently? Have you consulted your physician? Are you on any other medications?

So I have been on Viibryd since the summer of 2012. The first few weeks were awful as my body adjusted- little sleep, nauseous constantly, diarrhea- but I knew that could be the case. I worked my way through the pack to 40mg and have been there ever since. I have been on so many meds I've lost track of them all. I have bipolar type 2, which means I am depressed almost all the time with occasional manic episodes. Before adding Viibryd, I had been on Abilify only. Now I take both as well as Klonopin when needed. I felt I had found my life saver with Viibryd!! I was myself for the first time in years: no depression, no crying spells, just me. This wonderful drug had saved me. Or so I thought.... after about a year, I hit a rough patch. It was the anniversary of my father's suicide ...

My doctor diagnosed me about 5 days ago with biopolarity and he told me that my heartbeat was way too fast, he gave me Purbloka 10mg to bring down my heartbeat and I have to use Alzam at night with Purbloka and then in the mornings I have to drink The Nuzak 30mg with the Publoka....He also told that as soon as this Purbloka is finished that I should come back for test for I have a overworking Limpf (sorry my english are not good) and that he has to break it down for that is the main problem to all these other... Can all this be true.

how to wean off of Divalproex. What to do and expect? ## It should usually be tapered slowly, because stopping too fast can cause rebound effects, which may include mania, depression and seizures. Learn more Divalproex details here. Even if tapered slowly, some rebound depression and lethargy is still likely to occur, because it may take awhile for your body to readjust to no longer having the medication. Have you consulted your doctor for advice? They'd be the best qualified person to help you set up a proper tapering schedule. ## I got my Divalproex 500 Mg today from a different pharmacy and it wasn't the same pill. It was light blue with M945 on it. The kind that I have been taking is pink with 798 on it. Are they the same medication just made by two different companies or ar...

I have been prescribed celexa 20mg .after I had bad anxiety on effexor xr .i dont like taking meds as it is. I was wondering if I should expect the same reaction to celexa as effexor .i know everyone is different and IV read good and bad reviews on celexa. ## Hello, Denise! How are you? Celexa contains the active ingredient Citalopram, which is an SSRi antidepressant, so it's in a different class than the Effexor was, it was an SNRI. Anxiety can sometimes worsen for the first 3 weeks, while your body is adjusting to the medication, but it should improve after that. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you .so will it be alright to take my xanax with celexa if I have an anxiety attack? You hav...

I have been on 40 mg of Viibryd for 2 weeks now. Dreams every night as well. Not all nightmares but quite a few. I am still struggling massively with depression and anxiety. Panic attacks. I severely hate having to go to public places. I have lots of trouble focusing driving too. And my temper is severely scary. I snap so fast. Scared where my life is headed. ## I'm still not right. I used to be so happy and outgoing. Now i panic having to go places. Any little thing that goes wrong or a sudden change in my routine just screws my head up. Then I cannot think. I wonder if Viibryd is right for me or should I ask about Prozac? Paxil was no help either. I just want my life back. Want to be happy again. I have noticed no help with my panic attacks either. ## Hello, Ace! How are you doing...

I have been on viibryd for one pack. I just refilled the 40 for the.next time. At the beginning it was good until I got to 40.now all I do is cry all day long every day. I pray and pray for the crying to go away. I want off viibryd asap. What is the best wayto go?. I could taper a little or a lot because I haven't been on it that long. And then just stay on the Xanax. What does anyone think? ## Usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them. Although I would personally suggest that your doctor be the one who monitors you...

I have been on Viibryd (40 mg) for 6 months and for the last three weeks I have not slept more than one or two hours per night. I do not drink or smoke. My doctor started me off on 15 mg's of melatonin, when that did not work she prescribed Ambien. The Ambien has not worked. I have tried taking Zzzquil, Tylenol PM's and even Benedryl, but nothing at all works. I am frustrated all the time because I can not sleep. I have noticed that the medication is not working anymore, but I expected that the third night that I was not able to sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions? ## That is very unusual, because medications in this class usually cause somnolence and drowsiness. Learn more Viibryd details here. What other antidepressants have you tried? My suggestion would be to talk to you...

I was switched from lexapro to escitalopram when my insurance stopped paying for the brand name...within the month I was suicidal, halucinating and very very depressed, something has to be done about the terrible effects escitalopram causes, my MD tried many other types of antidepressents but only lexapro worked on me, the insurance and the pharmacist do not give a crap just pay up and get out of their face. Yet, viagra is fully covered, what kind of idiocy is that???? ## Hello, Cindy! How are you doing? I am very sorry about what happened to you. However, the coverage is decided by your insurance company, not the pharmacist, your doctor or anyone else. Nor is it the same for all insurance companies. What type of doctor have you been seeing? You may do better with a psychiatrist that kn...

Has anyone ever experienced auditory hallucinations while taking Cymbalta? I have been on 60mgs for 1 week, and just a little while ago I experienced what I am certain was an auditory hallucination. Either it was that or some is trying to contact me from inside my television. Anyone? ## No, I'm not finding that listed as a known side effect, the only auditory one listed is tinnitus. Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor, yet? Has anyone else experienced this?

My doc put me on Celexa for depression. 10 mg. I took it two days in a row last week and I swear it made me feel sick and I felt like a zombie... So I stopped. Then after talking to a couple other doctors decided I should give it another try. I am now on day three and I feel very sad and have no motivation for anything. I feel like s***. I can't feel this way...I am a single mom of three and two of my children have special needs. I think I am going to stop taking them again. Could I be getting side effects from the Celexa or is my depression getting worse? Also last night when I was driving I was having a hard time concentrating. Also I noticed a difference when having intercourse :( I don't see anything good about this med. ## Hang in there! I have been through the same things ...
