Antidepressants

What are some of the withdrawal symptoms of effexor?

Skelaxin and Flexeril are both muscle relaxants, therefore both act as depressants on the central nervous system. Unless it has been cleared with your doctor, it would be unwise to take both at the same time.

Make sure you remind your doctor or nurse practioner if you are also taking other depressants such as prescription pain relievers (Percocet, Vicodin..) including medications like Fioricet (Esgic, butalbital), which contain a barbiturate.

Yes you can drive with bipolar, you may choose not to when in a depressive state but it doesn't affect your driving skills. I, myself have bipolar and with the right meds and diet, adjust well and live a normal life.

Typically yes. It's a very low dose. It's considered a starting dose. I take 12.5mg, but am very sensitive to medication (slow metabolizer) so it works for me. Good luck!

Yes! That is the worst side effect...for me anyway.

hi Prozac is the same as most drugs in this catogary and can be traced in your urine for up to 3 to 4 weeks from the day you stop taking it though as it is perscribed for mild depression you could say oh i was drpressed and was given Prozac by by my gp tried it for a few days and it did not agree with me so i didnt continue taking it so you may find a trace in my urine as they cannot from a urine sample exactly how long ago you have taken it or how much they can see if its just leaving your system known as a trace it in good news is if it was taken a few weeks ago as this will calabrate your story it may just show a trace to if taken just a few days before to so this can sometimes be convienient if you want some1 to bealieve you are not using anymore sometimes its just best to be honest specially if your perscribed them or depressed

There are a long list of Zoloft side effects that have been discovered over the past few years. Most common are the one's associated with birth defects. These are cleft lip, pulmonary lung, neural-tube defects, club foot, ventricular septal defect, anal atresia, persistent pulmonary hypertension and infant omphalocele.

Not directly. In an environment in which psychosomatic disorders are a cause of physical stress, then antidepressants could help indirectly to avoid the acceleration of aging caused by such stress

Good answer. I should add that in my own experience and observation among several friends, family and co-workers, those few that have been on antidepressants for many years seem visibly 'younger' than those not. I think this may be an effect that being on these medications may reduce overall stress over the long term and thus reduce stress-related aging such as some wrinkling and hair loss. It's just my observation and experience of course but there does seem to be something to it.

yes, it can and it is horrible, never ever take that medication, it caused me to have serotonin syndrome , hear voices and i was hospitlized for 9 days because of it, stay away

Yes, you can. As a matter of fact, my Dr. prescribed me Xanax solely for this purpose. I was on 150mg Effexor XR, and switched to Zoloft. The Xanax was to be used while tapering down the Effexor and then ramping up the Zoloft. The Xanax was a lifesaver dealing with increased anxiety while going through the Effexor withdrawal and waiting for the Zoloft to "kick in". Talk to your Dr., as I'm not one, but I think you'd be fine using the Xanax as a very temporary aid while going through the withdrawal.

Very common side-effect of Wellbutrin.  Discuss with your physician and they can prescribe you something to take in the evening.  Also, you do not want to take Wellbutrin after 4pm at the latest.  I take wb in the day and xanax before bed.

neither is a narcotic both are anti-depressants paxil is a ssri while elavil is a trycylic

There is no known interaction between cipro and cymbalta. So you *should* be fine. Note that cymbalta is pretty new, and it's had a checkered past with the FDA, so you really should be having this chat with your doctor who, in turn, should be watching you pretty closely, as cymbalta has quite a few physiological side-effects. This is one I'd very much avoid self-medicating with.

Honestly, I've been on Cymbalta now for just over a year, and also have a history of urinary problems which often are improved with Cipro. That said, I was told by my doc never to take cymbalta with cipro as the cipro can increase the effect of the cymbalta markedly (by about 2-3 times). With all of that out of the way - this week I was prescribed cipro for another urinary infection and discussed the potential for interaction with my pharmacist. He told me to take the cymbalta every 2-3 days (I feel like hell without it after ONE day, honestly), and continue as normally for the full seven day course of the cipro. I can live with that - I just wish someone would come up with a better option.

Serotonin syndrome is possible if you abuse cough syrup while on Lexapro. But stick to te recommended dose for a short period of time and you'll be fine.

Source: I have been on Lexapro 20mg for 3 months and used Benadryl on it

Yes. I was on the same combination for several months. Your doctor can advise you better however, and personally I would choose a different drug than Celexa.

No! Bupropion is generic Wellbutrin, an antidepressant. It is recommended for people who do not respond to the SSRI antidepressants but not for people with anxiety.

Benzodiazepines include Valium (diazepam generic), Xanax (alprazolam generic), Ativan (lorazepam generic) and Klonopin (clonazepam generic). These are all controlled substances used to treat anxiety. They are excellent medications when correctly used but they are physically addictive. Be careful! Don't confuse your meds!

Most definitely not. I would never try mixing medications without contacting your doctor or pharmacist first.

Some drugs are extremely fatal if mixed. Don't do it- Do you really want to be known as the person that died of an erection?

you will probably feel tired as xanax is a tranquilizer, not sure about the effects of mixing the too, so i would ask your doctor

can cymbalt and 5-htp be taken together

I think so, but Im not 100% sure.

LSD is is an unsafe to use drug in any form.

Provided you have read the drug information sheet with both products and it does not warn against taking one product with the other, when you take makes no difference since both are time realeased....but check with the prescribing doctor(s) first is always best.
