1. Is Tripoline addictive 2. Will it help for insomnia and would it be safe to use it for just that. 3. What is the main use of Tripoline as a doctor has prescribed this for my husband how has bad sleeping habits and I am just concerned that something else could rather have been prescribed. Many Thanks Amanda ## Amitriptyline is an antidepressant, it is sometimes used to help with sleep problems, since they can be influenced by stress and anxiety. Drowsiness is one of its side effects, as well as nausea, weight gain and dry mouth.

I am prescribed to prozac, adderal, and ativan. I am also subject to random urine tests. Will any of these of the combanation of these cause me to give a false positive? ## Well, what are you tested for? The Ativan contains the active ingredient Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and will be detected as such. Learn more Ativan details here. And Adderall contains mixed Amphetamine salts, so it will be detected as such and it may also cause a false positive for Methamphetamine. Learn more Adderall details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm being tested for thc.

i'm on 10mg LexaPro, have been on it for 3 wks now. And when i first took it, all day everyday whenever i yawned i felt as if my energy was leaving my body, i felt exhausted, and felt like i was about to pass out, then a few days i forgot to take one tablet ( cause i take one a day),so the following day i took 2, so i could catch up yesterday's that i missed, and felt twice as bad as what i just said (including tingling in arms/over tired/just wanting to sleep all day ect), and right now i'm about to take 16 10mg LexaPro tablets in one go. ## If you felt that bad after doubling up on the dosage, why are you wanting to take 16 of them at once? That's not going to help anything, no matter how you look at it. Learn more Lexapro details here. If this medication isn't wor...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been on SSRI's for years and Effexor XR seems to really work well for me until recently. My doctor increased my dosage from 225 mg. to 300 mg. After taking the new dosage for 2 weeks, I felt, literally, like a new woman! I was cooking, cleaning, socializing - things I didn't do much of in the past! I was ecstatic about how I felt! Everyone noticed the difference and then - all of a sudden - I'm back to feeling depressed again. It has now been four weeks since the dosage increase. Was the feeling good just a fluke? Will it return after my body fully adjusts to the medicine? I don't know what to think anymore. Anyone else have similar experience? I am seeing my doctor soon and will ask ...

I was feeling good at 20mg. I began to experience some side effects such as not being able to sleep or falling asleep then waking up about 4 hours later. When I woke my heart was pounding and I was very anxious. I called the pdoc in the morning. He told me I was experiencing something called "breakthrough". He upped me to 40mg thinking that would help. I had been at 40mg for three days and I knew that was enough. My heart would pound when I was awake as well as upon waking. Along with all that he has me on an anti anxiety med Ativan .05mg three times a day. It works but I'm only allowed this dosage at this time. Since I've had no sleep I think that I could use more Ativan. He says that any more than that I could become addicted to it, So, its 12:58 am and have taken the ...

I would like to know my daughter as been using Lexamil for 3 years. The doctor subscriped Cymgen to be taken in the evening. She is still using Lexamil in the morning. Is this adviseable. She is only 17 years old. Thanks ## Have you spoken to her doctor about your concerns? There can be some risks associated with taking the Escitalopram in the Lexamil with the Duloxetine in the Cymgen, such as hyponatremia and serotonin syndrome. This doesn't mean they can't both be used, but her doctor should carefully take the dosages under consideration and should be monitoring her on a regular basis. ## From what I could gather, these two drugs should not be taken together, as there is an interaction between the active ingredients "escitalopram" and "duloxetine" in each drug....

Can I take 2 10mg celexa at the same time?? Would it be the same as taking a 20mg??? ## Yes, it would be equivalent to taking a 20mg, as long as they are both the regular release formulation tablets. My doctor even suggests I do it, if we're upping the dose of something, to use up the pills I've already purchased, before spending money on more. Learn more Celexa details here. There should be no problem, unless your doctor has specifically said not to do so. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi all...I'm now on Day 6 of Viibrd 10mg starter pack. My headaches have gone way, thank goodness, and no migraines! I did have one horrible day of "tummy issues" but that seems to be going away too. I'm worried that once I switch to the 20 mg of Viibryd that will happen again..and it's miserable especially when you work in an office like me. I feel good moodwise, however,and no other side effects. I stop the half Celexa pill on Wednesday so I am sort of worried about that. The last time I forgot a pill I got the brain zaps. ## Whattype of stomach issues did you have? It was nausea, pain or bloating, there might be something you can take to help minimize them. Learn more Viibryd details here. ## Sorry for my delay in responding. I was having cramps in my stomach and ...

I'm taking Cymbalta for pain and just wanted to know if anyone knows how dangerous it is to take this medication when your not depressed? Is there some long term affect? I can't seem to find information on this. It makes me nervous that it will affect me down the line. ## The risks/dangers would be the same, regardless of what you are taking it for and it may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and weight changes.

Thanks again for respon...

So I found a dark blue capsule with a very thin white line around the middle. It was in my Cymbalta bottle so I'm sure it was a mistake. It sounds like cymbalta when I shake it, like it has powder in it. My cymbaltas are white on one side and the same dark blue on the other side, but this was just all dark blue with a thin white line around the middle. ## Are there any markings on the capsule? The imprint code is what would enable us to to identify it for you. There are no Cymbalta capsules that meet that description, but it is impossible to tell what it is, just from the color. If it has the marking 6mg on it, then it is a 6mg Zanaflex capsule, which is a muscle relaxant. Regardless of what it is, you do need to report the error to the pharmacy, because they need to be more careful...

I would like to slowly begin to stop taking the Bupropion, what is the best way to do that? I take 150 mg 1x daily ## You're on the time released formulation, so you can just cut or divide the pills, since that may cause you to get too much of the medication at once. Learn more Bupropion details here. Have you consulted your doctor? They may be able to prescribe a lower dose to enable you to taper off of it to minimize the rebound effects.
