Antidepressants

No, it is not a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).

Before taking any medications (even over-the-counter meds such as cough syrups for colds, medications for headaches, etc.) always tell your local pharamacist what medication you are on and will the medication you want to take counter-act with the med you are on at this time. Doctors are often in a rush, so I prefer to trust my pharmacist.

I've been taking accutance for 4 months so far I get dry lips/skin. That's all.

There are no known problems taking Accutane with antidepressants. It IS advised to AVOID vitamin A supplements. Also mixing with alcohol CAN cause SEVERELY elevated blood-triglyceride levels. When my son was on Accutane for severe acne he experienced VERY dry lips and mucous membranes. Also, regular blood tests are important to monitor liver functions. In addition, if you take carbamazepine ( TEGRETOL ) for seizures, Accutane may reduce the effect of Tegretol. ASK your doctor and/or pharmacist. Your pharmacist can give you a whole printout on Accutane if you ask. The printout tells you EVERYTHING you need to know & in easy to read/understand language..( not "doctor speak"! )

Yes, it's unhealthy and ignorant to think other wise.

I lost 115 pounds in 2005 on Wellbutrin (bupropion). (I had weighed 300 at the start.)

It also caused mania. I lost my appetite and had the desire to challenge myself physically -- I rode a bicycle over 70 miles one day (I'm a woman, weighed 200 pounds, and was age 45 at the time.)

A stressful side effect was that my hair fell out and became very thin, possibly due to hormones and the extreme weight loss.

Unfortunately, the good effects wore off in 2006 and I stopped taking it.

I resumed it in 2009 for fibromyalgia pain and depression. It completely eliminated the fibro pain.

However, the antidepressant and weight control effects of 2005 haven't come back.

I gained back 65 pounds, continue to have depression, and periods of complete inactivity and compulsive eating.

"Phen-Pro" is the combining (cocktail) of Phentermine and a low dosage of Prozac(Fluoxetine). Any one of the tailing antidepressants: Zoloft, Paxil or Effexor may be used in lieu of Prozac(Fluoxetine). The use of the antidepressant in the Phen-Pro cocktail is dissociated to imprint. The cocktail is requisite because the effects of Phentermine, when used unequaled, minify over time. The Phen-Pro cocktail enables Phentermine to work finer and for a longest period of time. The compounding of Phentermine and Fluoxetine does not appear to causa the problems that resulted from the custom of Fen-Phen.

You should only take your prescription medications as prescribed by your physician. However, 1mg of xanax is still not that high of a dosage, so if you were to take another 0.5mg, I don't see any reasons why you would have any problems.

1. Serotonin
2. Dopamine
3. Norepinephrine
4. Endorphins

You are permitted to have your children take antidepressant drugs but they should be closely monitored. These drugs will normally have a "black box" warning, which is the most serious type of drug warning. It warns that taking the drugs will increase the risk of suicide in children. Because the youth have not fully developed their neurological and hormonal systems, the drugs can result in very detrimental effects to the body. Using these medications can prove very risky for there may be safer alternatives. They are meant more for the adult body instead.

Cymbalta (duloxetine) is usually used as an antidepressant similar to Prozac or Zoloft, though more recently has been expanded for use in treating peripheral neuropathy causing painful feet in diabetics.

My doctor actually put me on .05 mg of Lorazapam and 20 mg of Lexapro at night. and I take Lorazapam in the morning same dose.

This is a moderate interaction. SSRI antidepressants might cause your blood pressure to drop too low when taken with certain blood pressure medications. Your doctor needs to monitor you until you become used to are these medicines. Be careful sitting or standing. Contact your doctor immediately if you become dizzy, confused, faint when standing up, or have rapid heartbeat.

I did today and was light headed for most of the day.

You did not say why you are considering taking both, but sometimes they are prescribed together.

Wellbutrin is used primarily for depression while Provigil is used primarily sleep disorders including sleep apnea with excessive daytime tiredness and narcolepsy.

Recently, some studies have shown Provigil to be beneficial in the treatment of depression when used with a traditional anti-depressant like Wellbutrin or an SSRI. However, it should be noted that even though neither is an amphetamine, both can cause symptoms seen in amphetmaine use like nervousness, diziness, loss of appetite, etc.

Always consult your doctor or a psychiatrist before taking either.

extreme dizziness, suicidal thoughts/behavior, nausea, body aches, fatigue, headaches, heart pomputations, mood swings and memory probs.

I got off lexapro and stopped cold turkey. Was prob one of the worst feeling ever!! I would seriously suggest to ween yourself off slowly to not experience these effects!

Good luck!

what schedule is prozac

If ordered by you physician...yes.. Synthroid is a thyroid supplement given when you thyroid gland is not producing as it should...it would be the same as a person with a normal functioning thyroid gland taking valium.

Yes. Antidepressants don't really react with anything except MAOIs and some other psychiatric medicine.

Yes, I have been on oxycodone for approx 8 yrs and taking antidepressants also for the entire time. It may take some time to find the right one and correct dosage for you but it definitely is available. Explain to your doctor what is going on and they can get you started on them. Depression is common among people who suffer from chronic pain. Good luck

I took both of them together, and I had no bad side effects. Are you taking them for fibromyalgia, or depression or what? Cymbalta works for my depression, but does nothing for my fibro, and neither does Lyrica. Lyrica just made me fat and bloated.

During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

The related link also states to monitor the central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant for effects that may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. It is labeled a moderate interaction.

no. or YES Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. An overdose of Prozac can be fatal. In addition, combining Prozac with certain other drugs can cause symptoms of overdose. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

lower dosage 25 to 50mg every 2 weeks. if should cut down on most side effects. also if you are going down by 50mg and get side effects you may want to to it by 25mg instead.

I'm going to say no. I get very car sick and took Dramamine for a long time. I started taking Zoloft about two years ago. this past spring break i used the patch version of Dramamine and it made me absolutely worse. I was sweating, shaking, virtually in tears. I called my dr and he told me to take the patch off. When i took it off i could feel the difference immediately. i wasn't shaking, sweating or anything. I still had to sit in the front because of my car sickness, but NO don't take Dramamine if you are taking Zoloft
