Antidepressant Forums (Page 17)

I have been on different anti-depressants for years. About four years ago I was put on Cymbalta 30mg, raised up to 90mg, then lowered back down to 30mg. The problem I am having started about three years ago and I have yet to find one doctor that knows anything about it. I have full body tremors, not just my hands. It is like my entire body jerks and jumps and I expel a whoosh of air when it happens. Sometimes they get so bad that they seem close to a seizure. I have had a bunch of evaluations. My neurologist says it is mental, psychiatrist says physical. I have simply been in tears. Has anyone else had anything like this and what did the doctors tell you about it? ## Trembling or shaking of the hands and feet are listed as possible side effects by the FDA, as well as full body tremors, ...

I am on cymbalta 60mg at night and 30mg in the morning along with 200mg of gabapentin 3x a day for fybromayalgia and mild depression. I was given adderall 30mgs and I took a few of them. I felt focused but had started to sweat excessively for a couple of hours and my pupils are dilated. I looked up the symptoms and it linked me to serotonin syndrome. Being freaked out I didn't take my gabapentin or cymbalta yet today. My question is...if I took 60mg of adderall this morning, should I take the other two scripts (cymbalta and gabapentin) today or skip them and wait 24 hrs for the adderall to leave my system? Do I need medical attention or am I being paranoid? My muscles are cramping up in my back and hands so I'm not sure if this is caused from skipping my meds for fibromyalgia or...

Has anyone ever experienced blacking out or injuring yourself while on or during withdrawals on Cymbalta? Mostly head injuries, because of blacking out and hitting their head on things. If so, do you know what triggered it? ## A sudden withdrawal from Cymbalta can create a risk of seizures, which could be causing such problems. Other withdrawal effects can include nausea, rebound depression, and rebound anxiety. While taking it, it is very well known to cause dizziness, as a side effect, and rarely seizures, gait disturbances, and syncope (fainting). So yes, it is entirely possible to experience these types of problems while taking it. Has the person's doctor been informed?

What is this tablet I found it on my daughter's room ## Can you please double check the imprint? The RX logo is used by Ranbaxy Pharmacueticals and they have several similar tablets on the market, but I can't find any with RX 919 on them. The closest I've found so far is RX 166, which contains 100mgs of Sertraline, a generic for the antidepressant Zoloft.

I started taking Bupropion a week ago and I quit smoking after 9 years. This works! ## Congrats James, great to hear a success story! Did you find the process pretty easy to follow, and do you have to taper down your dose at all before stopping completely? Also, what's your plan to permanently stay off the cigarettes once you are off the medication? Wishing you the best with this! ## Thank you Roy!!! Still on the medication but almost finished have no urge to smoke. Once finished will reply and let you know how it goes. I feel if I stopped taking this now I would not have an urge to smoke. Urge feels like it is gone. :) Will keep you updated my friend. ## That's great, hopefully the urge will not return once you stop taking the bupropion. But maybe have some ideas lined up for h...

I have just been prescribed these for a major bout of depression i would like to hear any opinions on them ## Just like any other medication, there are those who get great results with it and those that don't. The only thing you can really do is try it and see if it helps you. Duloxetine is an SNRI antidepressant and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Learn more Duloxetine details here. Does anyone else have any advice or experiences to share? ## I took Duloxetine 20mg for 1 year.

Is it save to use 150gm Venlor in the morning and 20mg Nuzak at lunch time? ## can venlor cuase any mood problems in future and how long it take to kick in. ## Has your doctor instructed you to take both? They are both antidepressants, so you really should only need one, unless you have severe treatment resistant depression. They both have an effect on Serotonin, so taking both also risks your developing serotonin syndrome. And Sorro, it should not cause any permanent issues and it may take about 4 to 6 weeks to reach its full level of efficacy. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have used nuzak for a few years. My doctor( I have switched doctors) has put me on venlor 150mg. I feel nauseous, sk...

I am addicted to Spasmo Proxyvon for the last 10 years and I have been taking a minimum of 18 Capsules in a Day. I have tried to stop taking it but couldn't do that as whenever i try to stop, I go into Depression which doesnot allows me to take interest in my work, feel muscular pain, could not sleep the whole night.

I got married recently and feel that I am not taking my responsibilities seriously. Though I give enough time to work but cannot get good results. I have got a lot of good oppurtuinities to grab but couldnot hold on to them. Now I am into my own business which has a great potential and needs attention. But due to this habb...

Okay, we all suspect that phthalates are bad for you-- they mess up the reproductive system in lab animals. Cosmetic manufacturers are scrambling to remove them from their products because women are afraid they may be absorbed thru the skin. So why is the FDA allowing this suspect stuff to be in medications you take orally... like the generic Cymbalta (duloxtetine, 20mg) manufactured by Citron??? Especially since the majority of people having problems the drug treats, are women. ## The hypromellose phthalate that is listed as an inactive ingredient is an FDA approved excipient. NDC: 57237-0019 While there has been some concern about phthalates, there has been no definitive study proving them to be dangerous, so they are still approved to be used in medications, in limited amounts.

I have a psychotic disorder, personality disorder, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder. I also have an anti-social disorder and polysubstance abuse disorder. What medication can they give me to help with all of this? Can Prozac help? ## Prozac contains the active ingredient Fluoxetine, it is an SSRI antidepressant that is also used to treat anxiety, and some other mental health disorders. That said, there is no way to know how much it will help you, other than trying it. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, weight changes, dry mouth, headache, and mood changes. Usually, when someone suffers from multiple issues, more than one medication is required. What options has your doctor suggested?

does trazodone show up in urine screenings? ## No i take the same medision it never showed up in my test it is not a narcotic ## Trazodone (such as PLIVA [PLIVA 434; 100mg]) Is not subjected to the controlled substances act. There are no urine tests that screen for it. Trazodone Hydrochloride is most commonly used to treat depression; sedation; fibromyalgia; insomnia; and anxiety. It belongs to the drug class phenylpiperazine; antidepressants. There is no type of urine screen that looks for this, unless it is specifically being tested for. So a 5-panel, 9-panel, 10-panel, 12-panel, etc. will not be looking for this or its metabolites in your urine. But, as always, you should consult your physician about any concerns you have regarding medication. If you are obtaining this drug via stree...

The chemist gave me Zytomil but I have been on Lexamil for 12 years. Is it the same or am I going to start side effects again? ## Hello diane, Both Zytomil and Lexamil contain the same active ingredient Escitalopram Oxalate, so to some degree yes the drugs are the same. What may seperate these pills is what inactive ingredients they use which will determine a number of things including how long it takes you to absorb the drug, flavor, release timing, administration technique etc. I don't see a reason that you would start experiencing adverse effects so long as you don't react poorly to the new inactive ingredients. If you do start to have problems inform your doctor as soon as you can to ensure that you are still safe to administer the medication. I hope you have a great day, le...

I've have been taking sertraline (zoloft) for years under prescription by a doctor. Now I moved to another country and decided to order it online at combitic global caplet pvt ltd in india. They delivered the pills quickly in an envelope without packaging or users information. I'm not quite sure though, this is the real thing. I've been taking the pills for 3 weeks now and I'm not really sure they work. I sometimes have these contracting sensations at my temples that are typical for depression and that I usually don't have with sertraline. Anyone with some input? ## Are there any markings on the tablets? That is what would enable someone to research them for you to see what they contain. The FDA classifies Sertraline as an SSRI antidepressant and lists its typical si...
