My doctor put me on 10 mg of Lexapro after I started school and my anxiety was getting pretty bad. I have not ever had problems with depression besides the occasional sadness or bad day. Lexapro worked so well for my anxiety as soon as I started taking it. About a month into taking this drug I met the love of my life. I was very happy and life just seemed perfect. About 9 months later, I decided everything was going so well that I would stop taking Lexapro. For two weeks I cut my dose in half and then quit taking it cold turkey. Biggest mistake I have ever made. For the first couple weeks I felt great, still happy as ever, me and my boyfriend had had many conversations about getting married and making future plans for about the past 4 months. Then one day I woke up and it's like a s...

Hi, was just wonderinpsychotic episodeg if anyone has ever had a psychotic episode from going off of zolfoft, I have and it was pure hell. My kids didn't think they would ever see me again. Please if anyone has had anything close to to this, please let me know of your experience Thanks ## While I don't have personal experience with this drug, I would like to post many of the possible withdrawal symptoms one might experience when stopping Zoloft: The first major withdrawal symptom to look out for is dizziness. If you stopped taking Zoloft all of a sudden, you have a high chance of experiences random dizziness. If you have experienced this symptom before you know it is not very pleasant. You will have a hard to staying balanced and feeling alright. There are other symptoms that go...

Has anyone else had bad experiences with the Zydus Wellbutrin XL? I responded really well to 2x150mg of the Activis brand, for about 6 weeks but 10 days on Zydus 300mg was like coming off it all cold turkey. Nothing done, scatterbrained, tearful and like I was back at square one! Thank God my Walgreen pharmacist had heard this before, called my Dr to get a new Rx for 2x150 Activis and squared it away with my insurance company. Is there anything that can be done? ## I had a 3 month supply of zydus wellbutrin...and it is summer and I feel the most depressed I have felt in a long time. I saw your post and I am going to talk to walgreens and see if I can't try another prescription. I have gained weight and thought when summer came I would feel better. But yesterday was my birthday and I...

My wife has been on Brintellix/Trintellix for nearly a year now with great results. No other anti-depressant has been as effective in treating her symptoms. However, she has also suffered from migraines over the years, and she is not allowed to take the triptans that she used to take (Maxalt, etc.). Normally the Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine) has been enough, but this most recent one was bad enough to require a trip to urgent care and a shot of a narcotic painkiller. Any suggestions on what migraine meds she can talk to her doctor about? ## Topamax, works awesome for me, it's cool once you get past the brain fog, and the weight loss. ## Hello, Patrick! How is your wife doing? Fioricet might also be another option to try, if her doctor approves. I didn't fin...

Hi the doctor prescribed me the yelate duloxetine for depression and neuropathic pain. I'm paralized for about 2 and a half years now and I can't afford to gain more weight as one of my other prescribed pills also have a weight gain as side effect. Will the weight gain be a problem ## Hello, Leonie! How are you? Actually, the U.S. FDA associates this medication with weight loss, far more frequently than weight gain. You ma also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, anxiety, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been pretty anxious my whole life. Used Paxil at 15 after a bad experience with drug my anxiety was insane. I then stopped using Paxil after a month and managed to.live with my anxiety. I then had to use cipralex twice because my anxiety went crazy. But always stopped after 3 months. But for 3 years I have been using temazepam 30mg everyday. This pill helped me sleep at night however I didn't know I would end up being so addictive. I feel so happy at night when I take it. Now my anxiety is back and I went to see the doctor because I couldn't stand it... I go shopping and have major anxiety panic attack and feel like I will faint. So I went to see my doctor because first I wanted to stop temazepam and second to help with anxiety.. the thing is that since I started using ...

I have been on pristiq 100mg for about 10 years now for depression and anxiety it has been working for many years but today I feel terrible with head spins, nausea and systems i usually get when i forget a pill which i haven't is there any reason for this? ## Hello, Danielle! How are you? After 10 years, it may be that your body has just grown tolerant to this dosage, which could explain why you're feeling some withdrawal effects, as if you missed a pill. The U.S. FDA lists other as possibly including rebound depression, anxiety, chills, and diarrhea. It may be time for a dosage adjustment, or you may need to try an entirely different medication. Is there anything else I can help with?

No, that is the active ingredient it, it is an antidepressant that is often used to help with insomnia. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and weight changes. However, that does not mean that you may not also be allergic to this medication.

Hello, I'm currently taking Lexapro, Ritalin, & Klonopin. My depression seems to be under control only if I chase it with the RX'd Ritalin. I need something that helps fight fatigue, gives me motivation, (For my ADHD: Ritalin 10 mg as needed). To sum it up, what meds out there are great for my ailments listed above? Please help me.

I just came off of celexa due to side effects (diarrhea). I was on imipramine for depression/panic attacks for 20 plus years. The doctor said celexa had less side effects. Not for me. Anyway I have mennires disease also and need a 2 mg valium....it helps the vertigo some. My problem: Can i take them together at night? ## They can both increase sedation, so you should be cautious taking them, and only do with your doctor's approval. The FDA lists the side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, and shallow breathing. What types of issues did you experience with the Celexa? ## Diarreah that kept on. I have IBS occasionally....but this was different. I have not had daily diarreah or bad pains in over 3 weeks since I came off celexa. I have to take valium ...

Since I have been on this antidepressant/anxity med (or any antidepressants for that matter) I have been tired all the time. I am on 20mg. I have no desire to do anything and once I am home all I want to do is take naps. I have never been like this when I haven't taken anything. This is the only antidepressant that helps with my depression but I can't stand the way it makes me exhausted all the time!! ## Hello, Nickey! How are you? It could be that you need to try a lower dosage, there is a 10mg dose available. That way it may still help with your depression, without causing such fatigue. The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight changes. How long have you been taking it?

I have had depression since 2nd week of December last year. First of all the general practitioner put me on following combination i.e. fluoxetine, tripiline (spelling?) and sleeping tablet (Zolpidem). 3 months ago I went to a Psychiatrist due to bad insomnia. He put me on Mirteron, starting with 15mg, month later increased it to 30mg, and last month to 45mg – these I take at night 21h00pm. At 22h00pm I take a Zolpidem sleeping table (10mg). My sleep is average 4-5 hours (22h00pm – 03h00am). My depression has shown an increase but not desired effect. Therefore the psychiatrist prescribed Venlor 75mg. After taking my 1st tablet yesterday morning (08h00am), I felt so drugged, and I have no emotions whatsoever. Is this normal? I just want to make sure before I phone my psychiatrist

Hi. After a cocktail of psych meds, I am now on 300mg of generic wellbutrin. Finally, the depression is lifting. I am going thru a move right now and would never have been able to pack up and be motivated if not for the switch to wellbutrin three months ago. I've been through hell. Mania, depression, grief, suicide attempts. I finally look forward to the future. Let me know if I can help any of you. Don't lose hope! ## Awesome! I am so glad you finally found something that works for you! That's fabulous! I have a friend that's been dealing with depression and anxiety, since her dad suddenly passed, and they've not yet found anything that helps her, she's very frustrated. Are you experiencing any of the typical side effects that the FDA lists, such as nausea, dizz...
