Taking viibryd and remeron. The remeron is at night though to help with sleep.....not working as of yet. Waking up in the middle of the night soaking wet in sweat. Viibryd is 20mg in the morning. Any ideas? Tired of waking up so early and freezing. Also, my legs seem almost wobbly unless I continuously eat throughout the day. Please help, all advice is welcome. I started these 2 meds coming off of ambien, wellbutrin, cymbalta and clonazepam. ## How long has it been since you stopped the other medications? It is possible that some of your symptoms are being caused by withdrawal effects. The FDA warns that you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, fever, chills, rebound depression, and anxiety. ## Ok thank you, feeling a lot better now. The last to go and is decreasing to almos...

My boyfriend has been taking Citalopram HND 40 mg for about 2 years and the doctor refilled it for 20 mg. No discussion on the change amount was made. Plus the pills look completely different. ## Did he ask his doctor about the change? It might have been a mistake. The FDA warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and mood changes. Sometimes, such issues are just due to an honest mistake, because doctors tend to be so very busy.

I just got out of jail and did not use, but was dirty for methamphetamine. I do take Wellbutrin. How does this happen? ## I don't know but it sure does. And causes a lot of undue stress. I'm stopping the Wellbutrin. Screw that. ## I keep testing positive for methamphetamine and do not use and am not around any drugs. I was on the drug patch and it kept showing up in really low levels like negative, then 220, then negative, then 50. I am at a loss of words. Now I switched to U/A's. I am scared s***less because I am being accused of using and I am not and now cps is threatening to take my child from me. I am prescribed wellbutrin but I rarely take it. The time I failed the only thing I can think that I did different is take the wellbutrin. Can this make me fail? If not what ca...

I get severe headaches, tensions, depressed. I get vomit as these pills are reacting but when pills taken i get relief frm depression. My health is getting down. Plz help me. I want happiness bt dont get. ## I am very sorry about what you are going through. What issues have made you become depressed? The NIH lists the side effects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight changes. Who told you to take these medications? Is it possible that you just weren't ready to get married? Are you on any other medications?

I just started on the generic Pristiq a little over a month ago and along with all the other side effects I've seen people complain about on here (headaches, jaw pain, heartburn), I'm suffering from TERRIBLE menstrual cramps! I've never had cramps like this before. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure the two are even related, but I start taking this and all the sudden I'm having terrible cramps, so I'm wondering if there is a correlation. ## Most medications in this class can cause such a side effect, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and mood swings. If they become severe, or suddenly worsen, you should consult your doctor as this might not be the best medication for you. How are you doing, now? Has there ...

What are the side effects of the medicines Trihexyphen and Bupropion? Please post. ## Hello, Tom! How are you? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Trihexyphenidyl as possibly including nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth and headache. However, I do not see any intimate side effects listed. They list the typical side effects for Bupropion as possibly including nausea, dizziness, nervousness, insomnia, decreased appetite and sore throat. It has been known to affect libido and intimate function, but much less than other antidepressants. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Does it mess with your libido and what happens if you are taking other medications?

I've taken brintillex 20 mg for around 9 months. It has worked very well for depression. I had nausea going on it. I also had a period of extreme itching at night so had to taper down temporarily and then back up. The only problem is that I've gained 20 pounds on this drug (and I'm a small person). I'm going to taper down slowly to see if I can come off of it without rebound depression. Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated. ## Weight changes aren't listed as a normal side effect of this medication. The FDA lists it as usually causing dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and mood swings, in addition to the nausea you experienced. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications?

I have PCOS and which was being treated for 3 months by taking Juliana tablets & then I started planning for a baby for almost year with no success. Now my Doctor has advised me to take fertisure f tablet. Let me know if this will really helps in conceiving? ## I have been adviced to use fortisur f as I'm try to conceive five six month. We both are 28 year old.is it good or does it have any sideiffect. ## I haven't found much information on Fertisure F tablets posted on the internet, but from what I could gather it is touted for its ability to help treat infertility in women. Apparently they also make a Fertisure M version for males as well. What's odd to me is that there's no definitive description on these tablets outside of what I already mentioned above. No list ...

I was prescribed this for anxiety and it is working very well for me. I have been through several drugs and for the first time I felt hopeful. I went to denist and found out this medication is sending my blood pressure through the roof. No issues with blood pressure prior to this. This was the only change. I'm really scared to get off it. Is there anything that I can do? ## Are you sure it's due to this medication? Elevated blood pressure is not a listed side effect among FDA or user reports. They typically include symptoms, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. It is always possible to develop high blood pressure, without being aware of it and there isn't always an direct cause to attribute it to. Does anyone else in your family hav...

COULD YOU TAKE TRAZODONE WITH NEXIUM AND CITALOPRAM 40 MG AND IF YOU ALLERGY TO SULFA ## Hi Tea, Based on my research, I would not recommend taking any of those drugs together. Serious interactions are present between Trazodone and Citalopram, as well as between Citalopram and Nexium. The only combination deemed "safe" would be Nexium + Trazodone. The interaction between Trazodone + Citalopram notes the following: "MONITOR CLOSELY: Concomitant use of agents with serotonergic activity such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, 5-HT1 receptor agonists, ergot alkaloids, lithium, St. John's wort, phenylpiperidine opioids, dextromethorphan, and tryptophan may potentiate the risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but se...

I have been on and off (mostly on) bupropion for about ten years. At first I loved it, great libido and weight loss. After I stopped taking it the first time I gained a ton of weight and depression returned. I got back on it but it wasn't nearly as effective as before. Over the years I've tried others that were better for my depression but I stopped taking them because of the weight gain. I always went back to the bupropion even though it no longer helped with my weight. I've been on 300 XL for about a year now. I'm not depressed but I still have no interest in things, no energy, NO libido whatsoever, and weight gain. I've been wondering lately if I should tapper back my dose or switch to SR to see if I have better luck. Any suggestions or similar experiences? ## Wha...

I took this med for 2 months 10mg/day and now my OCD reduced a lot and i feel really good like never happened before. I also noticed my reflexes, concentration and energy became higher. I don t have anymore problems to see fast objects, i can understand a lot better spoken foreign languages that i m studying and i go running without doing too much efforts like before. According to my experience and according to Lundbeck that says that Brintellix can help patients improve cognitive function, I was wondering if it s considered a prohibited substance in professional level sports. Thanks for attention and who wants to answer me. ## Can someone answer me please?

Fellow viibryd folk, I am taking 40mg (been on it for approx 2 mo at this dose). In simply 24 hours I notice a need to take it or I begin to feel very anxious, and afraid. I'm not literally scared, but rather the feeling of having been frieghtened. It results in being emotionally constricted and feeling frozen to move. It feels like it is related to taking the meds, its not my normal self. Any common stories, or comments? ## Yes! Have been taking viibryd for almost 2 years. If I miss one dose, I feel horrible! I have severe panic attacks and immediately feel extremely depressed. It's like an impending doom feeling. I feel CRAZY when I miss a dose.. It's the absolute most horrifying feeling. Im fine as long as I take it every day. I have noticed that it does not work for anxi...

I was on 50mg Pristiq and didn't realise I was having anger issues on days I forgot to take it. I was only on it due to injuries stopping me from working and suffering from pain and financial issues. It broke up my relationship. After the break up I went up to 100mg. After some months I started to space out/blackout in the afternoon on days I forgot to take it. I always took it at 7am. Well my partner and I had gotten back together and it happened a couple of times in the 4 or 5 weeks we were back together. The 3rd time was the only time I had alcohol the day I'd forgotten to take the Pristiq and I had a violent episode. My life is in ruin and no one is listening. They think I was just drunk. Violence was not normal behaviour for me but drinking half a bottle of bourbon was. I o...

I am currently taking Cymbalta and Oxycodone. In the mornings on several occasions when I urinate it is very dark brown. Could either of theses medicines cause this? I'm thinking of calling my Dr anyways but just needed to know if anyone else has experienced this from either of these medicines? ## Hi derrek, it sounds like you may be experiencing a more serious side effect of the Cymbalta. I checked with medline plus and it says: "Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following side effects, or those mentioned in the IMPORTANT WARNING or SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical treatment: ... - unusual bruising or bleeding - pain in the upper right part of the stomach - swelling of the abdomen - itching - yellowi...

I have found these 30mg Mirtazapine pills of mine and do not remember them being prescribed. So I just need to confirm what the pill is supposed to look like? ## What are the markings on them? I'm sorry, but I need more information, in order to check for you. The U.S. FDA requires all manufactured medications to have unique imprints to enable their identification, in case of emergency, thus if you post back with the imprint, I will be better able to help you. Thank you!

Hi, I have been on paxidep 37.5 CR for a year. I feel I am ready to start weaning off it. Here in India my psychiatrist suggested that I start taking 25 CR. But I had earlier done that & it had strong effect. I tried tolerating for a few weeks but had to get back to 37.5. I feel I am ready now. I would like to reduce 10% of my dosage every month. HOW DO I WEAN OFF A 37.5 CR TABLET AT 10%? ## This medication (Paroxetine)[1] is considered an SSRI and should be gradually tapered under the careful supervision of your doctor. "See also: SSRI discontinuation syndrome... Many psychoactive medications can cause withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation from administration. Evidence has shown that paroxetine has among the highest incidence rates and severity of withdrawal syndrome of any ...

What is this tablet prescribed for and what are the side effects? I have not started it yet and feel a little nervous. ## I have been taking Paxidep CR 25 for the last 7 years, but now I am getting side effects of this medicine. Always drowsiness and always in sleeping mood. I can't read news paper - whenever I am trying to to read within 10 second my eyes will be closed and I was in a sleeping position. ## @Vinu - Paxidep CR is prescribed for anxiety and depression, and contains the active ingredient Paroxetine. The manufacturer is Sun Pharmaceuticals Ltd. [1] The American brand for this drug is Paxil. @Ajay, drowsiness is actually listed as one of the side effects of Paroxetine. I'm surprised you are just now experiencing this after 7 years. Has your prescription changed manuf...
