I suffer from cluster headaches and I was put back on Amitriptyline 10MG for this. I just found out I am pregnant yesterday. Do I need to stop taking this medicine? Please say that it wont hurt anything. ## Hi Mellisa - sorry to hear about your cluster headaches, but congratulations on your pregnancy! While I don't want you to be too alarmed, Amitriptyline is in pregnancy category D in the USA which states "There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks." So in other words, your doctor needs to be made aware of your pregnancy ASAP (if you haven't already told them) so that they can m...

I have been on Pristiq for a couple of years now beginning on 50 mg then up to 100 mg for depression and anxiety. I am now experiencing some difficulty with time. For example I may be creating a flyer to send out which should take 30 minutes tops but before I know it 2 hours have passed and I have no idea why it has taken me this long. I look at the document and it is definitely not 2 hours worth of work. It is really weird and very unsettling. It is happening more and more and my ability to rationalise seems to be getting worse. Went to dr today and his answer is to increase dosage to 200 mg. Any thoughts out there? ## That's very odd and not something I've seen noted in the medication or information, or from other users. Learn more Pristiq details here. It almost makes me wond...

Round white pill cross score on 1 side. Other side scratched off. Large like trazedone. ## Without knowing the numbers, it's really kind of a guessing game as to what it is, because I can think of several possibilities that are round, white and have the cross scoring. Learn more Trazodone details here. We might be able to hash it out with logic, so what makes you think it's likely Trazodone?

HAS ANYONE HAD BAD SIDE EFFECTS AFTER COMING OFF VIBRYD FOR 8 days? ## You were only on it for 8 days? If so, there shouldn't be any severe issues with stopping it after such a short time. Medications can affect everyone differently, so there are some people that do, but it is very rare. Learn more Viibryd details here. ## I am super sensitive. I had a bad bad day!!

I have been taking Trazodone with the markings V 6160 for several years now to help with sleeplessness. The problem is that my pharmacy now uses a different pill with APO T50 stamped on it. This and other brands do not work for me. Where or how can I get the V 6160 brand? ## You could try asking them if they'll order it in for you. They should be able to do so. However, it would be your responsibility to pay any difference in price between the Apotex generic and the one from Qualitest/Vintage, because your insurance will only cover the cost of their cheapest generic. Learn more Trazodone details here. Have you checked with other local pharmacies?

If i see the details of the medicine it says medicine of Anti-depresent. Will it correct my myproblem or Any side effects due to this tablet pls. suggest. ## Fludac contains the active ingredient Fluoxetine, and yes, it is an SSRI antidepressant. Most of these medications can cause some forms of erectile dysfunction, so I can only guess your doctor may be using it to try to balance out the problem. this site is not medical professionals, though, so I can only guess.

I have been on 20mg for several weeks and it's the 'pitts' that I am having a difficult time reaching orgasm. I am able to get aroused easily, but unable to have a great orgasm like I used to . . . even when masturbating. I so much looked forward to that 'moment'! ## I believe every man looks forward to that moment. Have you consulted your doctor, yet? Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant and they are well known to cause various sexual difficulties as side effects. If you are experiencing them after just a few weeks, you can either talk to your doctor about trying a different medication, or you can give it a few more weeks to see if the side effect eases up. Side effects usually hit their peak at around 4 weeks of use, then they start to taper off. ## I've been t...

What is the cost of Escitalopram 10 Mg Tablets? Will it effect my ability to respond like a normal human being. Can a person have a glass of wine once a week with this drug, or should one not drink anything until you are off of drug? ## Escitalopram is a an SSRI antidepressant and the price will vary depending on where you purchase it and how much you purchase at once. Learn more Escitalopram details here. It may affect you that way, but there's really no way to know until you actually try it. Alcohol may cause worsening of the side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and drowsiness, so you need to be careful if you imbibe and should also make sure you aren't driving.

I have a 40 mg pill of Viibryd and there is no score on it can it be cut in half for 20 mgs? ## Hi Judy, My general rule of thumb is that a pill can be cut in half (even with no score line) as long as it's not an extended-release tablet; more over because I'm not sure as to how cutting it will have an effect on it's extended release properties. If I were in your shoes, I'd still feel comfortable cutting it in half taking into consideration the details mentioned above. I hope this helps! Does anyone else agree?

Had fluoxetine hcl manufactured by teva. Provider now gave fluoxetin(p) identified as "substitute for fluoxetine" and mtg is par --what's the difference? ## From what you've mentioned, the only difference is who manufactured the particular one you're taking. Paroxetine is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by several different companies. Learn more Paroxetine details here. The name brand for it is actually Paxil. Are there any other questions? ## The original prescription was for Prozac which was replaced by the generic fluoxetine hcl when generic became available. When the providing pharmacy was switched, the new provider supplied fluoxetin(p) in lieu of fluoxetine hcl. No where in the papers did I see reference to Paxil, a different antidepressive.

I was given 10 mg of Metoclopram to counteract the severe nausea from getting off Cymbolta. Now I have severe dizziness. Is there anything I can do to stop the dizziness? I've been off cymbolta 6 days (20mg). How long will the headaches and nausea last? ## As to the effects of stopping the Cymbalta, if you were taking it for a long time, then it may take a month or more for them to wear off. Ideally, these medications should be slowly tapered, to prevent the worst of these effects. Learn more Cymbalta details here. And the dizziness from the Metoclopramide can take about that long to wear off, as your body gets used to it, too. Learn more Metoclopramide details here.

Was wondering if it ok to take 60mg methadone in morning also benzodiazapam 1-2mg twice a day and 30mg of remeron at night? Very scared so would like to know please. ## All of the medications you mentioned can cause depression of the central nervous system and taking them all at the same time can worsen these effects. So you need to be aware of the trouble signs to watch for, such as extreme sedation, shallow breathing, lowered heart rate and other similar issues. Learn more Methadone details here.

round blue pill, on one side it has M over U 11. Nothing on the other side. ## I don't have a picture to post for you, due to copyright reasons, but from what I've found, this tablet actually contains 100mgs of Bupropion, which is actually an antidepressant that's also used to help with smoking cessation.
