Over six yrs my b/c was Watson brand Microgestin now the new pills I picked up Actavis Microgestin is making me have side effects...breakthrough bleeding and cramps. If the company name changed, I'm assuming the medication as well! If my body is already immune to this medication why the side effects... ## I am having the same problem. Im experiencing side effects (headaches, mood swings) on the actavis microgestin fe 1/20. I am getting off of it. ## Hello, Kym and Sandy! How are both of you ladies doing? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having. There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to another, so the new one is most likely a little higher or lower, which could account for these new side effects. I used to experi...

My Dr had me on Cymbalta 60 mg twice a day for years Recently added one more a day 60mg three times a day Insurance declined and said not covered and not recomended I looked up side effects because I feel terrible and its been eight years on this medication with at least six years twice a day 60 mg ## The FDA lists the maximum daily dose as being 120mgs once daily, though some people may need to split it up into several doses, but your insurance company is correct, 3 doses a day would be more than recommended. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight changes. Have you ever tried any other medications? Have you consulted a specialist?

After three highly painful acid in the throat episodes, including a trip to the emergency room, I found this site and realized the problem. Three doctors and one pharmacist had never heard of the problem. Bless you Dr. Google! The Blue pills should be reserved for torture purposes only. ## It is amazing that people are complaining about the different types of generic, Prozac. I know the generic, fluoxetine, is made by many drug manufacturers. The generic brand, depending on the manufacturers that make or provide, fluoxetine, do not seem to work well for some people, while the other people using the same type of generic fluoxetine works great. I know I am one of those people. I just read that one person cannot stand the blue generic fluoxetine made by NorthStar, but the 40mg blue generic...

looking for bupropion that is an immediate release pill prefferally white ## From what I've seen, there aren't any generic bupropion tablets that are both white and immediate-release. There are however, other brands of bupropion, such as Aplenzin, which are not extended-release and happen to be white as well. These particular pills are manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA and Sandoz Pharma also make generic, immediate-release bupropion, but the pills are yellow, pink, and purple, as opposed to white. Are there any specific reasons why you prefer a white tablet? ## chemicaly sensitive to atifical colors, but these colors can be wash off slowly without destroying the integrety of pill (looking for white IR Bupropion ## I was taking bupropion xl 150 three a day ...

I started cymbalta 30 mg for a week, and now I've been on 60 mg nearing a complete month now. I have a couple chronic sports related injuries and a new issue in my neck causing some referred nerve pain into my head. My doc was hoping Cymbalta would help with both my pain and mood which has been down. Nerve pain is very depressing. I thought I was starting to finally experience mild pain relief the last few days but today I had a bit of a flare up in nerve pain again which was disappointing given the mild recent pain relief I was experiencing. I'm hoping this is a situation where my body is still adjusting to the medication, so ups and downs are to be expected? For those who take cymbalta for pain relief, how long did it take? Was it sudden? My doc wanted me to experiment for atl...

Are Pristiq and Wellbutrin in the same category? ## No I have been on 100 mg of Pristiq for 2 years. Pristiq is for Seritonin. Wellbutrin is for Dopamine. Some of us who are bipolar, our bodies do not make enough of either. Pristiq is for my Seritonin which helps with sleep. Will start Wellbutrin XR 150mg tablets on September 2nd. Dopamine makes a person happy. you laugh more, enjoy life more and all that. All this was explained to me by my neurologist and psychiatrist. ## They both treat similar conditions, as Charlie has stated, but they are not the same. However, this does not mean they are always safe for any certain person to take together, that is entirely up to your medical history and your doctor. The FDA lists typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsi...

Im prescribed with Nexito Plus from last 3 months. I want to know that, is this medicine is dependable and how long can it be taken. Whether i could prefer to homeotherapy now. ## Nexito Plus contains the active ingredients Escitalopram.

I'm on effexor 15mg want to take champix to quit smoking is this ok ## I won't to stop smoking and try champix but I'm taking 75mg Effexor will it help me ## No, you should not take both, unless your doctor feels that it is safe for you to do so. The NIH warns that combining them could result in someone developing a dangerous condition known as Serotonin Syndrome, which can has the potential to be fatal. Have either of you consulted your doctors?

Hi, I had been on paroxetine 20 mg for about a month, and suddenly have like, a layer of fat on my belly that hasn't gone away. For more background, I started taking it probably a little more than a month and a half ago, and I started experiencing some extreme (for me) side effects that I had never experienced with anxiety or depression meds before, namely dizziness and feeling sleepy more often. I looked up other people's experiences to see if those were common side effects, and then saw people talking about how it made them gain a lot of weight. I'm 5' tall and about 95 lbs, and have never had any problems with weight before but just in case I made sure to start exercising more/longer (both cardio and muscle toning type stuff), cut down on sugar (and some other things ...

Small white oval pill, one side has a divider for where you can cut it in half, the other side says C 12. ## What's the use of this pill?? My friend got one and I'm concerned. ## It has a triangle shape on top of the C12. No bottom to the triangle. White and round. Any idea what it is and what it is used for? Thank you in advance. ## A round, white Canadian tablet with the marking of C12 is listed as containing 20mgs of Citalopram, which is an antidepressant that is also used to treat anxiety, and panic attacks. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight changes. John, I have not been able to find a tablet that matches that description. Is anyone else familiar with this tablet?
