For the last 3 year I take Wellbutrin 150g at 8 am and Lexamile 20mg with Epitec 300mg at 8 pm every day. I have exelent resalts. I now want to stop with the epitec 300mg. No reason what so ever for this disision. What can Happen? Ria ## I am using the Epitec 100mg it is trouble falling asleep, if my brain doesn t want to switch off Can it be the Epitec that is causing this problem..! ## Ria, have you consulted your doctor? Epitec contains the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which is an anticonvulsant that is also used as a mood stabilizer and suddenly stopping it might cause rebound effects, such as mood swings and convulsions, so it should only be done under medical supervision. And yes, Emma, insomnia is a well known side effect of it. Have you talked to your doctor about the problem?

I have been put on CymGen 30 but reading what some experts say Zoloft might be better. I also take Xanor 0.5mg and Atavan SL 1mg when I get panicky. Do you think I am on the right meds. ## What you really have to discuss with your doctor is what is the right medication for you. What the experts say is better for certain people and for certain conditions, may not be what's right and best for everyone. How is the CymGen working for you so far?

I have been on 60mg of Cymgen and 10mg of Trepeline for 3 months now. My water retention has gone through the roof and I have picked up 8kgs over the last three months despite following a controlled diet and exercise routine. Is this normal? ## it is the trepeline that cause the water retention and not cymbalta,I am on cymbalta for 2 years now and lost 8ks ## Actually, it could be either one of the medications, or maybe the combo of taking both. They have both been known to cause it in a small percentage of the people that take them. Have you consulted your doctor? Edema can be a dangerous condition, if left to continue out of control, so you may need to switch to other medications, or adjust these ones.

I need to know the manufacturers name of the amitriptyline tab 10mg which is made white with no outer coating of colour. I am experiencing problems with the coloured ones. My pharmacy only stocks the coloured coated ones now (cheaper I believe to produce than white ones). ## I am sorry, I can't tell you anything from just the color. Do you know what the imprint was that was on the tablet? That is how we would discover who the manufacturer is. Amitriptyline is an antidepressant.

white oval small tablets ## What country are you in? From what I can find, this pill is from the U.K., the pill with this marking in the U.S. looks completely different.

Has anyone experienced this high blood pressure and severe headaches with Prestique 100mg a day? I have been on it for 4 monthes now and have just started experiencing these symptoms this past month. Blood pressure as high as 210/110 and I was in the hospital for 4 days. All cardiac and blood clot issues have been ruled out. I am at my wits end..can someone out there help me? I have also been started on 2 blood pressure pills without effect. My psychiatrist suggessted lowering my dosage to 50mg a day. ## Yes, Pristiq is actually listed with a warning that it can cause hypertension in some people and if a doctor wants someone that already has it to use it, their blood pressure must be well under control, before starting the medication. There is a good chance that the headaches were relat...

I was switched from 40 mg to 20 mg HBR, I am starting to feel s/sx of depression....can I double up on the 20 mg to equal 40 mg? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Why was the dose lowered? What you may be dealing with are some rebound effects, if the dose was lowered suddenly and that can actually be worse than the problem you initially started taking it to treat. However, before changing the dosage on your own, you do need to consult your doctor.

I've been on lexapro for 3 days and am experiencing extreme nausea. Will maxillon react badly with lexapro or is it ok to take both? ## No, Maxillon wont react badly to the Lexapro. My doctor actually prescribed it in conjunction with Lexapro, as having a sensitive tummy, we knew I would experiance nausea for a few weeks. The nausea gradually subsided after a month & the Maxillon was very helpful.

My name is Sue, & I myself have taken Trazadone. It belongs to the Benzodiazapan family. It didn't make me lose weight, quite the opposite. In 11 months I have gained a total of 85 lbs. I went to the doctor & he told me to quit eating & exercise. So I felt that I could trust what he said because hes a DR. Finally I went to a different Dr. & he prescribed me Effexor XR and ever since, (27 days ago) I have lost 14 lbs. I'm no Dr. but it worked for me so ask your Dr. about it. ## sue, thanks for the posting i was wondering if it could be keeping me from losing weight. actually they have me on it to help me sleep at night. they had be on doxipin before didnt loose weight for a whole year and craved sweets and this was shortly after my gastric bypass then i read the s...

I was prescribed recently wellbutrin xl 150. After 2 weeks and good effects such as waking up easy and alert, feeling"lifted" my psych. chose to up the dose to 300. I have been on this for 1 week my side effects arent as good example- drowsy and harder to wake up- not having that same lift as with 150. How long should I wait before I request changing back to 150? ## When raising the dosage, it is normal to experience more side effects, even if you weren't really having any before. They usually last about 4 to 6 weeks, which is the same time it usually takes for the medication to reach its full effectiveness in your body. They should reach their peak in that time frame and then start to taper off. If they don't, or if they get a lot more severe, you should definitely talk...

I was severely depressed due to the loss of my husband in May. My doctor started me out on Zoloft but it did work well for me. Had tremors and felt sick. He switched me to PRistiq starting at 50 mg. I was better for awhile but the dosage was not high enough. I am now on 100 mg and doing much better. No bad side effects and I have lost a lot of weight (this started even before I started taking the Zoloft). My appetite has definitely decreased but I do not feel the need to eat more and food tastes fine. My husband dying and being depressed is a terrible way to trigger a weight loss but I am at a much healthier weight for my age and height. ## I am very sorry to hear of your loss, but also glad that you found a medication to help you. If you do need to know anything else about it, here'...

Could you please tell me who carries the Northstar prozac 20mg Flouroxitine. I used it and now can't find it. thanks ## I'm sorry, but we have no way of knowing what pharmacy has a medication from any given manufacturer in stock, at any given time. Such information would be very dynamic and difficult to keep track of, anyway. Most pharmacies will switch which manufacturer's product they have in stock, depending on who was offering the cheapest prices, when they needed to order a new supply. However, if you ask, they should be able to order it in for you, but you usually had to pay whatever the current price is. Have you tried asking them to order it?
