How dangerous is an overdose of this medication? e.g. if a person were to take 50 tablets of 25mg all at once, could this cause death? ## I'm assuming your referring to Amitriptyline, a generic for Elavil, a common antidepressant, that is also sometimes prescribed for insomnia. Yes, an large amounts of medication taken like that at once could be fatal, even if that doesn't happen, you run the risk of causing several damage to the liver and other organs. Some common overdose symptoms may include: shallow breathing, somnolence, tachycardia and vomiting.

I am bipolar and am currently taking Epitec, Fluanxol, Wellbutrin and Setraline. My mood feels a bit too mellow. I don't really get excited for things like I used to before, like going to the gym. I used to go through phases where I would love to go to gym and do it religiously. Now I tend to miss days and seem to just go through the motions. I used to be very witty and funny but now I don't partake as much in conversation anymore. Its not the Eptiec because I was fine on it before. What could be causing this? ## I'm looking at this site because I just added Wellbutrin. I'm taking a leap of faith...I have never been in, or done a chat room thing. Please tell me...is this a real post? ## Yes this is a real post. Ask away ## It could just be due to a combination of them al...

I am on Rispadol with epitec(100). I have started to gain weight. I want to know if there is not another type of medication I can take instead of the Rispadol. I am having a lot of headaches and battle to sleep. ## I have been using Remeron 30mg for a month now. I am Diagnosed with Bi-polar. I am starting to gain weight. i need to find out what else I can take instead of Remeron that will not let me gain weigt. (I dont mind loosing). ## Have you consulted your doctor? Risperdal is a very potent antipsychotic medication. And Remeron contains the active ingredient Mirtazapine, which is an antidepressant. Either one, or both, may be causing your weight gain, but only your doctor can help you determine the culprit and find a proper solution, so you know if one of them needs to be changed. T...

And now its a purple pill its round and has a slanted E with 415 under it. He's takeing two per day. What is this drug treat? Please a heads up would be nice.. thank you so so much. ## You made quite a few of these posts and, once again, I have to state that unless his dad is a licensed physician, he should not be insisting that your husband take any medication! Where is he obtaining these pills? In the U.S. these are available by prescription only and giving them to someone without one is illegal activity that could cause serious legal repercussions. In addition, there are always risks of side effects and complications, so th...

I cannot find a picture of this that matches my prescription, and am concerned it is not Buproprion - 150 dosage. I have been on it for quite awhile, and all of a sudden became extremely depressed. It changed in color, and there is no picture available that I can find. ## I don't have an image to post for you, due to copyright reasons, but yes, there is a tablet with the marking 737 that contains 150mgs of Bupropion in a time released formulation. It should be round, white and have the 737 on one side of the tablet. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you; that answers my question! No, nothing else at this time. Much appreciated.

I want to know if there are people out there experiencing tinitus?? while taking Lexamil? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and though it isn't listed as a common side effect, there have been many reports of it causing tinnitus in people that have taken it. You should discuss it with your doctor, because it may just not be the right medication for you to take.

Feedback about Watson Bupropion XL ## is Watson bupropion XL better than other brands? ## While Watson is generally sought out to be one of the more commonly known brands it doesn't necessarily mean that it is better than some others out there. Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may agree with one medication over the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves. When you switch brand names, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the ingredients or fillers that they put with it. I hope this helps! ## There is really no way to say that one from any manufacturer is better than...

I have been on Paxil before- and it worked wonders for me. I have now been without it for a few years as I lost my health insurance and could not afford it. I found several websites that I can get it without an RX, but am wondering how safe that is. Has anyone purchased Paxil this way? ## It is not safe, Paxil contains the active ingredient Paroxetine and, in the U.S., it requires a prescription. When you order from a website that doesn't require a prescription, they are usually of foreign origin and the medications have not been approved for safety and efficacy by the FDA. It is available as a generic now, under the name of the active ingredient Paroxetine and a 30 day supply of the 40mg tablets only costs around $25 to $30. Have you considered trying it?

I switched from Lexapro to Celexa on Feb 1, 2012, due to insurance cost. I did NOT react well. The first two weeks, jitters (like caffeine) very slowly increased my insomnia, which after 2 weeks of sleeplessness, led to taking a few extra xanax (which I usually only took about 1/week) just to finally get some sleep. The next day, I passed out (for the first time in my life, and I'm 60), so OD landed me in the ER for 2 nights. The week after, I realized that the insomnia was from the Celexa, when writing bills, my usually-precise handwriting got jittery, and quit it immediately (after 3 weeks). God, this drug was awful for me - thought it would be like Lexapro, but never again. Can't recommend it -- side-effects too severe. Be careful. ## I'm very sorry about what you experie...

I read the two drugs should not be combined and I can't find out why. I have been prescribed both of these and didn't know til now it might be harmful. Can you tell me why it is harmful to combine these two substances? ## I'm not finding anything listed about them being harmful if taken together. Have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist about it? Where did you read that the combination was dangerous?

does anyone know where to get cymbalta coupons? ## If you don't have prescription coverage and meet the income guidelines, the manufacturer does have an assistance program for Cymbalta. You can contact them for more information and an application by calling 800-545-6962 Is there anything else I can help with? ## There are certain prescription drug cards sites that offer free discount cards. Sometimes the savings can be quite substantial. RxFreeCard.com and MyMedsSavingsCard.com are two that offer really good discounts. They're easy to use all you have to do is print the card out. Both of those cards are accepted at most major pharmacies. Good luck!

My 12 yr old daughter was recently placed in a behavioral hospital and was put on resipdol and prozac. When she was discharged we filled her prescriptions. She was only given a 15 day supply from the pharmacy die to medicaid. Now her RX has run out and I CAN NOT get it filled for at least another 2 weeks at best. I have contacted everyone. What kind of side effects can we expect from her sudden withdrawal? ## Withdrawal symptoms from Risperdal can include insomnia, hallucinations, and irritability. It's unfortunate that she had to stop cold turkey like that, as this can definitely make withdrawal symptoms more difficult to cope with. With Prozac, withdrawal symptoms are actually less likely to occur after going cold turkey, because the medication stays in your system for a long peri...
