My pharmacist substituted my Bupropion ER for Bupropion XL and said they were both the same. I'm afraid to take it until I'm assured both are one and the same medication ## Yes, they are the same. The ER and the XL just are both different abbreviations that denote it as being a time released formulation of the medication. Learn more about Bupropion Details Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is Bupropion SR 150 the same has Bupropion 24 XL TAb 150. I do know that SR means twice a day. XL Iwas told means once a day. I did't realize that my doctor had made a mistake and writen the prescription for twice a day until I got home. I don't know about the 24. ## I have been taking 2 bupropion er for a while now and have lost a nice amount of weight.y doctor changed the sc...

Hi, due to some personal circumstances, i have ended up with depression ans anxeity and with insomnia. i cannot fall asleep and sometimes stay awake all night. now i am getting all anxious about not sleeping. I was prescribed amitriptiline, and for the first 2 -3 nights at 50mg worked wonders, but now, it doesnt do anything. i just lie in bed watching hours pass by. I also had a shot of Jack Daniels the other day, and this knocked me out. Will taking higher doses help me go to sleep? also how safe it is consuming alcohol while on amitriptiline? ## Drinking, while you are taking this medication can result in aggravation of the side effects, such as nausea and dizziness. Learn more Amitriptyline details here. And as to whether or not higher doses may help you sleep, I have to say it's...

Hi. I've been taking Cymbalta (60mg) for fibromalgyia for a few years. I've tried to get off of it twice. The first time I just stopped, not knowing that doing so would come with such consequences! I had no idea that there would be withdrawals, and such terrible ones at that. The second time I did it with a weaning off schedule from my doctor (which I've since forgotten). Even doing the weaning schedule given to me, the side effects of withdrawal ended up being more than I could take. When I was over the toilet, puking, and rationally thinking how it would be the best idea for everyone if I just killed myself, I knew I wasn't strong enough to go through the withdrawal process. So here I am, over a year later since my last attempt to get off it, and I'm so over being ...

I was doing realtively well at 50mg for about 3-4 weeks, All of a sudden the med pooped out on me and I found myself taking ativan everyday to compensate. My doc intitially told me to take half of a 50mg pill. My pharmacist told me not to do that s it is time released. Instead we upped the dosage to a full 100mg. I had some dififuclty staying alseep last night. Must have woke up 10 times. Anxiety levels are very high when not takign the ativan. It is a very difficult way to live. Is the 100mg doage dangerous? I think that I get very very high anxiety from the anxiety meds themselves. I had a friend at age 20 die from RX pills her doctor told her were safe. Since then, I have always had the fear of medication and it produces profund anxiety whiel transitioning. The only med that ever gav...

Can i take amitriptyline with methotrexate and prednisone? ## Based on my findings there is an interaction between methotrexate and prednisone. This interaction states the following: "MONITOR: Although they are often used together in clinical practice, limited data suggest that corticosteroids may increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity. Individual cases of severe and fatal bone marrow suppression and fatal systemic moniliasis have been reported. Data have been conflicting. A pediatric study found no increased methotrexate toxicity; however, hepatic enzyme elevations were noted. The mechanism is unknown. MANAGEMENT: Close monitoring for signs and symptoms of bone marrow suppression and nephrotoxicity is advisable during concomitant administration. Patients should be advised to re...

the pill is just a small round kinda peach colored and has 176 on one side and the other side just has a line through the middle. ## Hi mari, Based on the description provided, The closest match I found your pill to be is Venlafaxine hydrochloride (37.5 mg); which has five-sides as opposed to being round.

My pharmacists gave me teva buproprion Xl 150 which stayed on the market after the 300mg dose was withdrawn. It has a different absorption profile than the brand name and I'm wary of it. Any insights? ## The only thing you can really do is try it and see how it works for you. Learn more Bupropion details here. If you experience any unusual side effects, or it doesn't seem to work, then make sure to inform your doctor and pharmacist. Have you taken any yet? ## No not yet. Starting Sunday. The brand is $118 even with insurance, so I plan to try the generic to see if it works. Thanks for the comment. ## Been on it 4 days now. A little dry mouth, a little headachy, a little more energy, possibly loose stool but that's a rare side effect. Could just be something I ate. It's e...

Citalopram hbr 10 mg was prescribed to me because of stress and to help me sleep. Is that what this drug is for? Help ! Thanks Bob ## Citalopram is an SSRi antidepressant, it may cause some drowsiness as a side effect and, as to the stress, it does help some people with some anxiety and similar issues. Basically, your doctor is allowed to prescribe a medication according to their knowledge and experience of what they've found it will help with. Learn more Citalopram details here. When they do that, it's called off-label use and, in such cases, the best thing you can do is to try it and see if it helps you. If it doesn't, then let your doctor know. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes you sound the same as me. I have been taking 10mg for 3.5 weeks now and feel great...

Hi I am wondering if others who are on the maximum dosage of 40mg still experience on-going depression for a few hours afterwards. I take my meds in the morning but it takes several hours for me to feel ok. I have small fibre neuropathy of the autonomic nervous system and have been on citalopram for 3 1/2 years. Recently I ave put on weight. I haven't always felt this on-going depression. It seems to be getting worse. Has anyone had ths experience when after a reasonable time on the drug it seems not to be working as effectively? ## Hi Chris, The reason why the medication seems to be not working as effectively over time, is generally due to the tolerance or physical addiction of the drug itself. As for Citalopram, it's not addictive, but you can build up a physical tolerance - m...

I take welbutrium 150 mg do you think ateral will improve my attention span ## Is it the Wellbutrin that's causing the problems? Learn more Wellbutrin details here. Generally, it isn't advisable to try to treat the side effects from one medication with another medication, because you can end up creating a never ending cycle. Learn more Adderall details here. Additionally, combining these medications creates the risk of seizures, so it isn't likely that a doctor would prescribe both.

found this in the grammar school I work at. Do you know what it is? ## From what I've found, this tablet contains 100mgs of Bupropion in a time release formulation, it's a generic for Wellbutrin XR. It's an antidepressant that's also used to aid in smoking cessation. Learn more Bupropion details here.
