Antidepressants

Yes, if both are prescribed for you, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. To get the "sleeping" effect of trazodone, without interfering with prozac antidepressant effect, the trazodone dosage should be around 25mg to 100mg.

Ask your doctor.

yes

You can, but there is a potential for various adverse effects. This can range from not feeling the effects of the muscle relaxant due to prozac's (fluoxetine) negative effect on some of the enzymes that the body typically uses to breakdown chemicals that enter the body, to making the reason for taking prozac (anxiety, depression) worse upon introducing the muscle relaxant. I am not a Dr by any means, but I am prescribed prozac and I took the initiative to learn as much as possible about it. I also enjoy benzos (muscle relaxants) and other pill formed narcotics. There are 2 main different types of muscle relaxants, but in reality nearly all types out there can have different reactions. My suggestion, ALWAYS due your research, even if that means looking at a pharmacology reference book at the library to calling any pharmacy and ask about adverse effects between the 2 drugs. Once this is done, proceed with caution. OD death can happen with benzos, usually due to respiratory failure. Because the prozac can create the effects I talked about earlier, you potentially can take too much. So don't go crazy on the benzos, no matter how much fun it can be. And again, as I said before, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Diving into cloudy water where you can not see the bottom can kill you, but once you know the correct depth, your chances of survival increase dramatically. Hope this helps.

Lastly, since most people I know that like popping benzos also enjoy other pills, you should know the huge risk of taking prozac & opioids (percocet, morphine, roxie, oxy, fentanyl, even methadone, suboxone, and subutex). This can lead to a condition that will ruin your life called Serotonin Syndrome. I don't have time to go into this syndrome, but it sucks and has even been known to cause fatalities.

Celexa is a type of antidepressant that may cause some patients to gain weight. How long before you will lose weight after stopping Celexa is dependent upon factors such as how long you were taking the medication for, your diet, age, gender and lifestyle.

took 3 caps, only on 150 lyrica, but had a really amazing roll. then again, it was 3 caps of 100% pure so that was pretty much guaranteed. regardless, i doubt there's any danger, unless you're taking like 1000 mg of lyrica you should be chill

You should ask your pharmacist, they are trained to know about drug interactions.

no.... and nobody tells you not to...so dont

Taper. Do NOT quit this stuff cold turkey. Tapering depends on the dosage you are taking. If you are on 20mg, for example, take 10 mg for a week and then 5mg for a week and then 5mg every other day. I am not a doctor and you really should talk to YOUR doctor about tapering. Coming off of Lexapro has some pretty nasty side effects for some folks.

I don't think there is a precedence for this combination but I'm pretty sure you would either die or end up in a coma and wake up in the hospital. I took 150mg Wellbutrin at 5:00 in the morning, had three drinks at about 7:00 in the afternoon, and then took an Ambien at 9:00 at night and went to sleep easily and comfortably. I woke up at 7:00 the next morning in the hospital hooked up to an extremely painful catheter, an IV, and breathing tubes inserted in my nose. I can't explain how disorienting this was and the state of panic it put me in. Later in the day my friends told me they took me to the hospital at about 1:00 in the morning. Apparently I woke up after I took the Ambien, inexplicably took about 20 more Ambien tablets and then poured all of my Wellbutrin into the heater vent, drove to the store about 4 miles away where I caused minor damage ($1000) to my car, urinated on myself, brandished a loaded weapon in the house and outside, video taped imaginary "ghosts" and "tiny men" for almost an hour straight and then fell unconscious and stopped breathing at which point I was taken to the emergency room. I don't remember any of this whatsoever. I do, however, have the recordings of the ghosts and tiny men I insisted that I saw, and I am completely dumbfounded and cannot explain how this happened.

Don't combine those three drugs, and surely don't add Vicodin into the mix. You will not enjoy the results.

^^^^

wow! I'm really surprised you didn't go into a coma. if your friends didn't take you to the hospital you would've so been dead. i know how that feeling is when you wake up in the ER. I've been there from 2 GHB ODs. yea, ambien causes hallucinations, so that's where the tiny men come from.

Antidepressants can make u more sad or even give u thoughts of suicide body aches and memory loss I've been struggling with depression for several years my opinion is to find a hobby and try to cope yourself..I've been on many many meds and nothing works..so find something you enjoy doing and keep your head straight

It has a long half life so a good number of weeks before all traces leave the body

Lexapro is a medication that is normally prescribed for Depression. It should be taken as long as you and your doctor feel that it is needed. If the medicine was prescribed to you because of a life event causing depression, you may only need it for a short amount of time until you have resolved and come to terms with that activity. However, in people with chronic depression, a antidepressant will most likely have to be taken as a lifelong treatment. Talk to your doctor about the length of time Lexapro is needed for you.

Yes, it is safe to use the nicotine patch and Lexapro at the same time. There are no drug-drug interactions between the two medications and there are no disease states that call for the use of nicotine patch or Lexapro that would interfere in either of the medications efficacy.

Yes, facial laser hair removal is an excellent way to get rid of unwanted hair. It is far more effective and long lasting that shaving and waxing. The hair will come back less and less with every treatment.

This is contraindicated because these two drugs interact to increase the effects of each other. You can get dangerous and possibly life threatening side effects by mixing these medicines. You can develop a condition called Serotonin Syndrome, which includes severe, deadly symptoms. These include confusion, hallucinations, racing heart, increasing body temperature which can lead to death, sudden drop in blood pressure, coma, irritibility and violence, shivering, sweating, and muscle rigidity.

Yes, they can be taken together, but talk to your doctor about the side effects first, because the risk of seizures is greatly increased and sometimes outweighs the benefits.

Withdrawals of Prozac may start within eight hours of stopping the medication. Withdrawal symptoms may last for six to eight weeks.

It's hard to imagine a reason to take Provera while you're on birth control. Talk with your health care provider to understand why this is being recommended to you.

Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with 5-hydroxytryptophan or affect your condition. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.
