Can I break this pill in half or fourths and take it? - "208 IG" white round pill (celexa). ## InvaGen pharmaceuticals lists this tablet as containing 40mgs of Citalopram which is an antidepressant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes. And yes, it is a regular release formulation, so it can be cut. Are you on any other medications?

hi,i am getting RLS (restless leg syndrome) in both legs over soles and low back pain (mainly in left) and sometime knee joint (very rare). I believ these symptoms are due to some nerve disorder reasons. My nephrologist prescribed me nexito 10 once in night. I do take other BP medicines as well. I don't have disbetic.After reading most of the articles on meds it seems nexito 10 is for depression. Can anybody help me to know is nexito 10 is right medcine for my symptoms. ## Nexito contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and they can sometimes help with nerve pain, due to the way they act on brain chemicals. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Learn more Nexito details here. Is there anything else I can help wi...

Does anyone else awaken from their sleep almost in zombie mode while on Effexor? It usually takes me a good 5 minutes to completely collect my thoughts. Lol ## Yes, that can be a normal side effect of most antidepressants, according to FDA reports. They can cause REM onset latency, which means it takes longer to enter the deep dreaming REM phase of slumber and you spend a shorter amount of time in it than usual. This can cause disrupted sleep, odd/unusual dreams, and difficulty awakening. How long have you been taking it? I've found that things usually improve after a few weeks of taking them.

is any one here, who is taking zoloft again with success? ## It did not work for me, when I tried to take it, again, after being off of it for several years. I started getting all the horrible side effects, including severe depression. How is it working for you? The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight changes. Can anyone else chime in with their personal experiences?

I'm 49 years old, had a particial hysterectomy in 2002. Moved to Amsterdam in 2006, and in 2008 developed ovarian cysts. Had them removed in 2009, they grew back in less than 6 months. Started taking Orgametril around Oct 2009 for recurring cysts. The cysts have shrunk completely. I haven't gained weight, but I have suffered from hemmoroids since June 2010 (sugrery for this in Dec.). However, I have night sweats and very bad mood swings. I have been very depressed with little will to live. This impacts my relationship with my partner, friends, and family. I thught the depression was because I've been looking for work for 2 years and so bored sitting home all the time (friends work and have families; partner works anytime he is awake...) and unable to care for personal financ...

I don’t find a lot of positive stories about antidepressants, or I find stories where people are taking the antidepressant the wrong way... I wanted to share my experience. A positive one. I’ve had generalized anxiety disorder, SEVERE OCD, and panic disorder for as long as I can remember. My first memory of having an episode was when I was 4 years old at my kindergarten interview. I feel as though I was born with the illnesses mentioned above, right from the womb. When I was a child I was extremely anxious, had bad separation anxiety from my parents and had extreme OCD, I was just a kid and thought that the way I was feeling is how all kids felt, I didn’t realize that I was different. This went on, and got even worse in middle school. I began developing trichtilomania ...

I started taking Lexamil 10mg two days ago. I want to know when i should take my Lexamil (day or night) because i feel like sleeping the whole day? ## Drowsiness can be a normal side effect, according to the NIH. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight changes. You can take it at night, if the works better for you, unless your doctor has stated otherwise. Some people do, to avoid the drowsiness during the day. Are you on any other medications?

I've been taking this medication for almost 4 weeks. The first two weeks taking the medication was great, but these last two weeks has been horrible. I've been having motion sickness for two weeks and a lil dizziness every once in awhile. It has helped with my nightmares, but I get so discouraged because the motion sickness is depressing. I wanted to see if the A101 pill or the 3331 150mg pill will make a difference. I've seen XL, SA and SR and it all confuses me why there are so many pills that are related to this medication. I am going to see if my Dr. can change it to a different number, the #13 pill is terrible. ## When a medication is available as a generic it is usually manufactured by various different pharmaceutical companies, whichever one you receive from any given...

I am on a valium taper for withdrawal of Klonopin which I took for over 20 years. I am one year off of the Klonopin I am down to 5 mg of valium and almost finished with the taper. Although I am better, I still have anxiety, angry outbursts, "brain fog," insomnia.. The dr. had me on Wellbutrin for mood swings. The Wellbutrin seemed to cause my anxiety to be worse and cause my hypomania to return. (I was dx with bipolar II many years ago and that was why I was on Klonopin) . Both my dr. and therapist have suggested I am NOT BIPOLAR. Have a MOOD DISORDER. Until the benzo withdrawal I had several years of stability while bipolar. My question is this: In spite of withdrawal symptoms (which are far less after one year of tapering off of Klonopin), I am basically depressed and the dr. ...

My doctor has started me on Brintellix 10mg as I have tried a number of well known antidepressants over the years & found none give me complete remission. I suffer with MDD & Anxiety, which I believe stems from PTSD. I found that when we found one that worked, by 6 months I had built a resistance to it & it was no longer effective. They also made me gain weight which only added to feelings of self loath. I am on day 5 with Brintellix. I had ceased all antidepressants at least 4 weeks before commencing this treatment. Day 1: I was extremely sick with anxiety prior to my taking the Brintellix. I did feel nausea about 40-50mins after but I felt it take the edge of the anxiety. Day 2: nausea persisting but bearable. Yucky taste in my mouth, did start salivating soon after taking...

My GP has prescribed one tablet per night for my daughter for bed wetting. Can someone provide me with more information about this drug? ## The active ingredient in this is Amitriptyline, most commonly prescribed for depression, but also used to help treat bed wetting. Some of the most common side effects include: dry mouth, extreme weight gain, nausea and dizziness. ## Thanks for your info.

What I can suggest, though, is that you talk to your doctor about your concerns. ## Thank You for your advice. I...

i have taken these medications in the past month, nurotin-celexa-buspar-naperson-flexeral-aleeve-benadryl, can any of these medications give a false positive on a unrine drug test as benzodiazipine ## No, none of them are Benzodiazepines, drugs in this class include substances such as Alprazolam (Xanax) and Clonazepam (Klonopin.)

Is citalopram (208 1g) a benzodiazepine and does it work the same as lorazepam? Can you take citalopram for depression? ## No and no! Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant, so it is not a benzodiazepine and does not work the same. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No, thanks very much for your help.But,of course people say things about meds and they don't know what they're talking about. I found some of my old meds lying around (citalopram)and I was just wondering what to do with them.Thanks,again
