Azor Forums (Page 2)

Hi, ive been on azor for about a week, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I just feel drowsy especially if I drink alcohol. I suffer from anxiety and need to know if azor will help? ## Hello, Darren! How are you? This medication is used to help with anxiety, and some nervous disorders, however, not every medication works for everyone that tries it. The U.S. FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. It should not be combined with alcohol, because they can both cause depression of the central nervous system, which could be dangerous. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance?

I have been taking Azor 1mg twice a day for more than 5 years now. It is terrible when I do not take an azor for more than two days the side effects are horrible. I would like to come off the azor but it is very difficult with the side effects. ## How can I ween myself off azor without having terrible side effects ## Hello, Teresa! How are you? Are you taking this to treat high blood pressure, or a heart condition? If so, it might not be safe for you to stop it. Why do you want to stop taking it? The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

How area you? Antidepressants can help some people with anxiety, but the only way to actually find out is by trying it to see how it works for you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ive been using Azor for about 2 years now at first I used to take daily dosages and realised its highly addictive and stopped. The withdrawal effects were terrible made me feel even more anxious and sick. However Im still taking Azor but only when I feel uneasy or when I get a sudden panic or anxiety attack it really does help. On average I take it twice in a month only when Im extremely anxious at other times I try to calm myself down. Azor is really the best anxiety relieving pill for me provided the usage of it is minimal but offcourse not everyones anxiety levels are the same!

I have suffered from insomnia for years. Tried one sleeping pill after another. Azor is not prescribed for sleeping as such but it did help for me for a while. After 6 months I found that I needed a higher dose to make me drowsy enough to sleep. But the side effect was drowsiness the next morning and headaches. It made me lethargic the next day and my productivity went down the drain. I accidently discovered a video clip on cannabis oil on youtube. I tried it out. (Cooked in olive oil) I never had a problem sleeping again. Never felt lethargic the next morning. I generally felt much healthier over all. And the spot of skin cancer I had disappeared in 3 months. Cannabis is unfortunately illegal mainly because if it was not many pharmaceutical companies would lose big business. Please edu...

I am on Azor for constant anxiety en Cilift for depression. It seems not to help me anymore. Is my system after 10 years so used to it that I should rather change my medication. ## Hello, Johann! How are you? Yes, it is possible that could be causing your problem. You may need a dosage adjustment or to switch to new medications. However, please be careful not to just stop these medications cold turkey, as the FDA warns that doing so with the Azor creates the risk of seizures, as well as rebound depression and anxiety. If you have to switch medications, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Is there anything else I can help with?

Please everybody that reads this, my experience with Azor and zopax was a nightmare.I am a director of a company and stress plays a huge part of my lifestyle. I started to get very anxious something not normal for me and I started to take Azor and zopax. You take more and more and yes its very addictive. After a year or so your emotions are all over the show and in my case it was so bad I became suicidal and cried like a baby. Just not me at all. To get off is very painful and the withdrawn symptoms are bad... ## Hello, Werner! How are you doing, now? I am very sorry about what you've been through, that's horrible. I'd like to add a note regarding the Zopax, which contains the benzodiazepine Alprazolam, because not only does it carry the risk of being habit forming and causi...

I just lost my wife to Azor. She did not die but decided to leave me because i would not get her any more. She was taking about 20 to 30 a day.. Zopax, Azor, and a whole list of other anti-depressants will take your life away from you... You will get addicted to them. My advice is to stay away from it and make sure your loved ones do to...

Hi, I have been on Lexamil 10mg for 2 years and then about a hear ago my dr increased the dosage to 20mg, which I took for 6 months. However I have stop taking the meds approx 6 months ago. I am a very bad pill drinker and then to forr. I feel that I struggle more with anxiaty than depression and rather preferred Azor/Xanor SR. Would you recommend me going back oono Lexamil? My dad passed away 7 months ago and have a stressful job. Is it better to be on an anti-depress like Lexamil or Azor/Xanor? Can one drink both? Should I start with a lower dosage of Lexamil instead of the 20mg again? ## Hello, Mandy! How are you? Only your doctor can really advise you as to what medication would be safest for you to try. Have you consulted your doctor, again, yet?

I have a friend that is taking way too much pills. She is daily consuming hands full of Adco-dols, Azor and Stilnox. How likely is an overdose from the combination of these drugs and what is the best way to deal with this addiction. ## An overdose depends on the specific amounts she is taking and her tolerance to them. And the best way to deal with the addiction is to get medical help for her. There is nothing you can do yourself to stop it. The best intervention will come from a medical professional that's trained to deal with such problems. How long has she been doing this?
