I was prescribed Effexor 75 mg to be taken in the am and to continue with 15 mg Avanza in pm (by psych) saw GP and asked for lower dose of effexor and was given 37.5 mg. Took it at 11am having taken 15 mg Avanza night before. By 6pm I was manic, hypervigilant, tachycardic. etc etc and ended up in A&E of local hospital, where I was given valium. Further consult with GP diagnosed seretonin syndrome, apparently very unusual at such low doses. Never going near that effexor stuff again unless I am off the Avanza. Have been told recently the combo is called californian rocket fuel. Good description. I thought I was going to die. be careful if you are prescribed this combo. fine for some, not for others.

How long does mirtazapine stay in your system?

Dear Friend The mean half-life of elimination is 20-40 hours; longer half-lives, up to 65 hours, have occasionally been recorded but in young men the half-lives have been shorter. Mirtazapine is metabolized effectively and eliminated in urine and faeces over a few days. Biotransformation mainly occurs through demethylation and oxidation and subsequent conjugation. In vitro studies of human liver microsomes show that cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 are involved in the formation of the mirtazapine 8-hydroxy metabolite, whereas the CYP3A4 enzyme is assumed to be responsible for the formation of the N-demethyl and N-oxide metabolites. The demethyl metabolite is pharmacologically active, and its pharmacokinetic profile is similar to that of non-metabolized drug. this


Why don't people believe in religious experiences?

Because most people don't believe that religious experiences are real. Most religious experiences (i.e. Near Death Experiences and Out of Body Experiences) have been scientifically proved to be natural in their causes and aren't religious in any way. (NOTE: I am a Hindu)

Is Effexor good for migrains?

Effexor is an SNRI (serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor). It's main use is to treat depression and anxiety, but it has been used off-label to prevent migraine headaches. So has Cymbalta, another SNRI. When you are taking Effexor be sure to be careful when taking triptan medications such as Imitrex, as they both work with serotonin and in rare cases can cause a serious and sometimes life-threatening reaction. Make sure your doctor knows all the medications you take for your migraines.

What is mirtizapine for?

MIRTAZAPINE (brand name Remeron) is a tetra-cyclic antidepressant. Though it is usually prescribed for major depression, there are many off-label uses, most notably to improve sleep-architecture in those with severe and/or chronic insomnia. It also posses anti-nausea, appetite-stimulating, antihistamine, anti-anxiety and strongly sedating properties, et al., though these become less noticeable with time. A notable irony is that at lower doses (45mg). The reason for this is, at low doses mirtazapine binds mostly with the brain's H1 receptor (the same receptor for which the sedating antihistamines have a strong affinity). At higher doses, however, mirtazapine begins to have a stimulating effect (due to the antagonizing of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor) which partially offsets the sedative properties.The initial dose is usually 30mg, and is adjusted based upon the patient's response to therapy; 90mg is the usually the highest recommended dose, although in severe cases, doses as high as 120mg have been found most efficacious.Treatment for major depression with mirtazapine is recommended to continue for at least four months to gain maximum benefit. Stopping the medicine too soon can cause a return to the depressive state. If side effects are bothering you, do not stop taking mirtazapine; contact your doctor, the dose likely needs adjustment.Mirtazapine must be discontinued very gradually and under close doctor supervision, as physical dependence will develop over time; this is especially important for patients who have used the drug at high doses and/or for long periods of time. Suddenly stopping mirtazapine may cause severe depression, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, (all dysphoric states) loss of appetite, worsening of allergies and rarely, manic episodes.PJF
