I found a pill today, scored white pill with the numbers 13 31 on it. Can you tell me what it is? ## Hello, David! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 100mgs of Trazodone. The FDA classifies this medication as an antidepressant, it's also commonly prescribed to help treat insomnia. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm 31 year old male. I was undergoing severe stress at work and personal life. I used to have lot of negative thoughts and sleepless nights. Doctor suggested Sizodon Plus. While I'm taking this tablet in the night, I experience its side effects in the mornings and early afternoon. I have lot of dizziness, drowsiness, unable to focus on my work. Please help me. I don't want to lose my job now. I want to focus on my job and not be depressed all the time. ## Hello, LoveLife! How are you doing? It could be that you're on too high of a dosage, or this just isn't the right medication for you to take. But usually, the carryover of such effects into the next day is the sign of too high of a dosage. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you get to the r...

Hi friends, I started Brintellix a week ago and I really like the calming effects..but I have been totally constipated for 4 days and it's crazy? I know that constipation is the #1 side effrect for brintellix, but does anyone have any experience with the constipation going away after awhile/ I'd love to stay on this if I could..thanks! ## Hello, Daveboy! How are you? Typically, side effects tend to improve once your body gets used to a medication, which is around 4 weeks in, or so. However, in the meantime, you may want to speak to your doctor about taking a fiber supplement or something else you can use to alleviate the constipation. The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can h...

I'm new to this forum. I have had anxiety and panic attacks for almost 40 years but fought it fairly well until Depression crept in about 10 years ago. Like most here, I've tried just about every antidepressant known but they either did nothing or the anxiety got out of control. My PCP suggested Viibryd as it works slightly different than other SSRIs. I started the sample pack at 10mg per day for one week, then got part way through week 2 but it made me sleep long hours and my anxiety went haywire. I stopped it and started preparing for TMS. Funny thing was that a couple days after stopping Viibryd, I felt as good as I had in quite awhile. This only lasted for a few days and I started feeling crappy again, no energy, no drive. I started Viibryd again and the exact sequence reocc...

10mg. 1 tablet at bedtime ## Amitriptyline (10 mg) is used in the United States and United Kingdom to prevent migraines only in very small doses. It is also used as sleeping aids in small doses of usually 25 mg, and for diabetic retinopathy. For information about the side effects of this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## My doctor would like to prescribe me this for my migraines...10mg, however, I am very leary of filling the prescription due to suicidal thoughts as the #1 side affect. Your thoughts? ## Is there connection between taking Amitriptyline HCL 10 mg. and dementia?

I've been on 50mg for 2 months now and I'm noticing they are helping my depression but most days I have moments of happiness and really feeling good about myself then hours later I will feel really depressed and sad. There's not really a pattern that I can notice. Some days I'm still sad all day but there's never days when I'm entirely happy/ok. Any suggestions why this unbalanced emotional state is happening. ## Hello, Jen! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're having. It may be hormonal related, many of us ladies experience that, because our levels can change throughout the day and at differing times of the month. Alternatively, this just might not be a high enough dose for you. The FDA classifies Zoloft as an SSRI and lists its typical side ...

I am on prozac.for 5 days now, I feel nausea all lday and have lost my appetite. I also feel like I have sinus infection & insomnia. Does anyone know how long these side effects will last. I am on 20 mg. ## When I started it, or any time we've raised my dosage, I found that the side effects lasted about 3 weeks, before tapering off. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience dizziness, headache and dry mouth. If things don't improve, or it they get worse, you should consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Were you also nauseous? If so what did you do for that?

I have 2 different pills in one bottle and the contents described on the label is Venlafaxine Hcl Er Tabs 75mg -Sun Pharm. 1 pill is marked 759 and is pink and white. The other is smaller, all white with the letters OS and these numbers under the letters:302 or 362 or 382. Which one is Venlafaxine? Thanks! ## Hello, Daydoc! How are you? They both contain 75mgs of Venlafaxine in a time released formulation, they've just been manufactured by different companies, which is very common with generics. Your pharmacy likely didn't have enough of one to fill your prescription, so they had to add in the rest from a new supplier. The FDA classifies this medication as an SNRI antidepressant. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings an...

Medical aid wont pay for lilly fluoxetine, only for nuzak. Are they exactly the same? ## Yes, they are both Fluoxetine, which is an SSRI antidepressant that's also used to treat conditions such as PMS and PMDD. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and loss of libido. Learn more Fluoxetine details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been taking Lilly Floxotine for many years but was given Nuzak last month. I have had a stabling headache on my left side and behind left eye for 10 days. Could it be from the change to Nuzak?

Please help me to understand exactly what drug I'm really taking. I was prescribed Wellbutrin, but was given Bupropion HCL. At the bottom of the bottle, it says substituted for Wellbutrin TBS B/W. When I look up Bupropion HCL I'm shown Zyban. Thank you for any help. ## Hello, Mimi! How are you? They are all the same. Wellbutrin and Zyban are both just brand names for Bupropion. The FDA lists it as being an antidepressant that can also help with smoking cessation. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, insomnia and nervousness. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi, Sweetie, I'm doing okay, thanks. I appreciate your advice. Embarrassing question, will it cause very bad gas also? ## You're very welcome!

Started Paxil about 2 months ago and I have quickly gained 20 pounds. I can't stop eating, constantly crave sweets (as I'm eating a package of s'mores Pop Tarts). Paxil is helping me so much though, I can't decide if I should be happy (but unhappy with my body), calm, and chubby (possibly bordering on fat soon) ... or listless, socially anxious, and skinny.... just seeing if anyone else has a similar experience ## Hello, Vincent! How are you? Paxil is classified by the FDA as an SSRI and most of them are very well known to cause weight gain in people that take them. My ex-husband had the same problem, it was the only one that consistently worked for him, but it caused a lot of weight gain. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth....

Do you know if sertraline hcl ia VilBLE IN dye free formula? If so , who is the manufacturer? I have histamine intolerance and it seems that i have a sensitivity to many food dyes. Many thanks ## Hello, Tbird! How are you? There are some white tablets available, which wouldn't have dyes, plus there is a liquid that is also available. However, not all pharmacies may carry the dye free, you'll likely need to check ahead of time, so they can order it for you, if need be. The FDA classifies this medication as an SSRI antidepressant.

can anyone advise me how to reduce my dosage from 45mg down ## Hello, Tommie! How are you? You should follow you doctor's instructions. Generally, the modern preferred method is to have someone gradually reduce their dosage, while starting to skip days, such as going down to 40mgs on Monday, then skipping Tuesday, then taking the 40mgs again on Wednesday. Do that for a week, then reduce to 35mgs the next week and so on. The FDA lists the possibly withdrawal effects as including nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, rebound pain, depression and mood swings. Is there anything else I can help with?

My partner has been on lexam 20mg for over 4 years. Is it ok to be on it for that long? ## Hello, Cass! How are you?

Some people require such medications for most of their lives. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain.

paxil 40, epleptin 100 mg and tydamine 25 mg for depression. Using paxil for 4 months now. The other 2 for 2 months. It looks as if it is not working properly. was better before the last 2 medicines was added. My daughter has like a social phobia. it is as if her condition is worse now. Can you suggest something else. She is 19 years old. Went to University at the beginning of 2013 but to study BSc Mathematical Science but couldn't finish because of the depression. ## My sister was on Tydamine and now suddenly it is not available anywhere in South Africa. How irresponsible the manufacturers are to do this to people. Do they not know how dangerous it is to just stop with no supply. What the hell do we do now!

Want to know how many of one of them would you have to take to equal one of the other?? ## There are actually not comparable, at all. They are not in the same medication class and don't treat conditions in the same way. The FDA classifies Sertraline as an SSRI antidepressant, though it also helps with anxiety. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. In order for it to work, it must be taken regularly and will take about 4 weeks to reach its full level of effectiveness. However, Xanax is a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. It doesn't require regular dosing, but can be taken on an as needed basis. Is there ...

i am 28 yeats old female.i am taking daxid 50 for 8 weeks..i feel better.but no full effect.still i am little anxious .and have some fear.how much time take sertraline to get full relax ## 8 weeks is long enough, talk to your doctor about it. He may need to increase your dose, or possibly add something else or replace with another drug. It's a trial and error process.
