I'm 19. Had a bit of a panic attack/nervous breakdown last year while dealing with school and some other issues in my life. I went to a psych. She gave me some Viibryd (starter pack, of course) and I took it. 5/10/15/20 MGs. I stopped at 20MGs. This was over a year and a half ago, and I'm starting to have mixed feelings about Viibryd. It turned my life around at that point, for sure. I was able to handle my anxiety and get my life under control. But, 1.5Yrs later I'm still on 20mgs/day because of 1 bad day I had with my anxiety? Idk. I feel as if it's unnecessary. I actually feel worse on the days I take it. Stomach issues, etc. are things I don't want to deal with. So, doing the wrong thing, I kinda just pulled myself off of them and haven't taken them in 2-3 we...

Still on my starter pack. At 20 mg. I haven't had any dreams, my big concern is energy. Should I take it in the morning? or at night? Discuss. ## It may really be a matter of trial and error to see how it affects you, so you know when to take it. It may cause drowsiness as a side effect, so if you experience too much of it, then you may do better taking it at night. ## I have tried both and would rather take it at night. Then I started experiencing these weird surges that made my eyes squeeze shut (not unlike a quick seizure) they best way I can explain it is if you stare at something a long time and force yourself to look away you blink involuntarily. It would happen at the point of being almost asleep. It scared me to death! Now when I take it in the am I have no energy and have a...

I was diagnosed with postpartum depression/anxiety last month. This is the first time I have taken antidepressants...I started on Zoloft and took it for almost 3 weeks, but had bad sexual side effects, dizziness, no appetite, and I had one beer with it and it caused me to have suicidal thoughts...I felt like a robot with no emotions...so my doctor switched me to celexa. I took it for a few days and started to feel energized and happy. After a few days, I had insomnia and my emotions came rushing back...I went to the ER because I was afraid I was going to go back into depression and they told me to stop celexa and take Zoloft again. I went and talked to my doctor the next day and I felt AMAZING...I was happy and talkative and worry free. I thought it was Celexa so I asked my doctor to st...

I am type II diabetic and aged 56 yrs and want to know Szetalo Plus Side Effects as it is prescribed by my doctor for peripheral neurological discomfort. ## Szetalo Plus contains the active ingredients Escitalopram and Clonazepam, it is most commonly used to treat depression and anxiety, but the Escitalopram is an SSRI antidepressant and they have been shown to help some people with certain types of nerve pain. Side effects may include: nausea, headache, dizziness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm 49 years old and I have been taking szetalo plus for about three years. Now I become drowsy and lethargic nearly all the time. My libido also has reduced substantially. Would it be helpful if I now stop taking the drug?

SMALL GREEN ROUND PILL WITH AN A ON TOP AND 214 ON THE BOTTOM ## Pill Image THIS IS NOT MIRTAZAPINE!!! This is a narcotic pain reliever, Oxycodone 15mgs, Instant Release, a generic for Oxyfast. Mirtazapine is an antidepressant, so not even related to this. ## Verwon correct as usual. This is 15mg IR Oxycodone HCl made by Actavis. The A215 blue pill of same size and design is 30mg.

I've been on 25 mg of imipramine for 30 years. I've been withdrawing for almost 2 months by 10% per weeek. I had taken the 2% dose for 2 nights. On 3rd night woke up burning all over especially in back of head and gripped by extreme anxiety. Decided to go back up to 5% for a little bit. Still had symptoms; went to full strength again; still same symptoms about 3 to 5 hours after taking drug. These symptoms don't seem like withdrawal symptoms--brain zaps, emotionally unstable--that I'd been experiencing on withdrawal. I would appreciate any information or help. ## Hi Barb, If you take a look at Imipramine's list of potential side effects (posted below), I think it'll explain much of the symptoms you're describing: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682389....

Hello! I starting taking Cymbalta just yesterday after gaining almost 20kgs on Lexapro (took it for 18 months) I've read mixed reviews on people gaining more weight on it or losing weight. Today so far (its almost 2pm) I have no appetite whatsoever and have only managed to eat one piece of sourdough toast. On lexapro by this time of day I would have already eaten eggs on toast and be onto making pasta for lunch, I was always so hungry! So I feel pretty confident that I will be losing the Lexapro weight while on Cymbalta. Have you lost weight on Cymbalta? I'd be interested to know others experience. ## Hi Luella, While I haven't personally taken Cymbalta, I did come across reviews from other users who have tried it. And I'm actually surprised by the number of people who c...

I do not go back for a hospital appt for 5 weeks, can anyone help and give me some hope with this drug.. Have taken prozac in the past very similiar side effects which improved after about 4 weeks. Thankyou to any one that may be able to help. ## Hi, Mary! Sorry about the difficulties you're having. How are you feeling today? And yes, it can take about 4 to 6 weeks for the medication to reach its full effectiveness level in your body, so your GP was right. You do need to give it some time. On top of that, if the...

Tryptomer contains the active ingredient Amitriptyline, which is a tricyclic antidepressant and these sometimes help with certain types of nerve pain, but they are not actual analgesics and aren't going to relieve the pain from having a medical procedure or surgery. Learn more Tryptomer details here. Did your doctor prescribe this medication? ## Are u sure its Tryptomer 5mg?or are you being given a generic version of amitriptyline Hcl? If its Tryptomer then its available only in 10,25,50 and 75mg only. Since u have pain it is given for a short period of time.And,it has to be withdrawn by tapering down ove...

Since long my wife aged 54 years is suffering from depression. Three weeks ago her doctor prescribed Bupron XL 150, 1 tab. in morning and Nexito LS, 1 tab at night. But since then she is unable to sleep properly at night and the depression also worsened. When contacted the doctor told her to take double the dose prescribed early. The situation worsened. Now she is totally drowsy and at night also she is feeling that she is awake. ## It really sounds like these just aren't the right medications for her to take. The fact that she is experiencing the opposite of some of the intended effects is what makes me suspect that. Has she contacted her doctor again? I think there's a good chance that she needs to try alternative medications.

I have not taken my cit. For three days of experimentation and it is not good. Low focus, anxiety, tired (sleep great tho) and dizzy and headache. Will get back on it tonight. ## HI, Charlie! Are you feeling any better? These types of medications that act on brain chemicals should never be stopped abruptly, because doing so will usually cause withdrawal and rebound effects. Learn more Citalopram details here. If you want to stop taking one, it's best done on a very slow tapering schedule supervised by your doctor.

Hello. I was prescribed amitriptyline 25mg for chronic migraines two years ago. I am trying to wean myself off it now and am finding the withdrawal symptoms awful. Palpitations are the worst. My doctor prescribed a beta blocker last week but I still feel very anxious, slightly depressed and my heartbeat is still a bit out of sync. Is anyone able to help me with some advice as to how to get through this. I halved the tablets about two weeks ago. At first I felt fine then some symptoms starting popping up. ## Hi, Alison! I'm very sorry about what you're going through. This can happen anytime you've been on a medication for a long period of time and try to stop taking it. I did stop one cold turkey after being on it for years and it took about 6 weeks or so for the worst of the...

round orange pill nothing on other side ## Hello, I believe I have identified your pill as Mirtazapine (15 mg); which is used in the treatment of major depressive disorder and other mood disorders and more. Side effects can include (but are not limited to): Dizziness, blurred vision, sedation, somnolence, malaise, increased appetite, weight gain (as a result of increased appetite), dry mouth, constipation, and joint and muscle pain. The pill I found is almost an exact match to the one you've described. It is a round yellow pill (but appears to be orange) with 9 3 (divided by a score line) on one side, and 7206 on the other side. Maybe the other imprint got smudged off at some point? Manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals USA National Drug Code (NDC): 00093-7206 Do you think this could b...

I feel I have been on all anti-pressants ever made, I self medicated with booze for a long time so of course none of them worked or made me sleepy. Well finally I got off the booze about 4 years ago and I like Remeron but I`m diabetic and scared of all the talk about weight gain, I keep my numbers down for the diebetes, I`m 67 and I tread very lightly. ## Have you talked to your doctor? I know you say that you've tried them all, but there are some relatively new ones on the market and not all of them are known to cause weight gain. Your doctor may be able to suggest one you can try that wouldn't cause this issue. I understand why you tread lightly, being diabetic and your age. Have you tried any natural treatments? Some people have great luck with OTC supplements such as Ashwaga...

Terrible stuff, disturbing dreams, anger bursts, crying bouts, blood vessels in eye burst first day or so. I am 74, female. This is awful- Unpredictible anxiety, feelings of doom, insomnia. Have weaned myself from 40 mg to 5-10 mg. daily-must continue on that, I feel, to eventually have no side effects that upset my entire well being. NOTHING is worth feeling like this. God help me. ## Hi, Judy! Wow, that's terrible! I am so sorry you've been so miserable due to this medication. However, I can assure you that you aren't the only person this has happened to, these medications are known to backfire in some people that take them, regardless of age and there have been other posts about it. Have you consulted your doctor? They may be able to help you wean yourself off of this las...
