Antidepressants

As a daily dose, yes. The normal dose would be between 150mg and 300mg. 300mg is significantly more effective than 150mg. The maximum recommended dose is 450mg, because seizure risk increases significantly at 600mg.

A standard release pill is usually 75mg, but you would take 2 to 4 a day. The extended release pills are bigger, but that's because you can only take 1 or 2 a day because they take longer to absorb.

Yes, it has been prescribed by physicians to be taken together without drug interactions or moderate side effects. Due to recent pharmaceutical additions to medications given to treat depression at this time, Prozac is no longer the leading drug choice but is still prescribed. Newer antidepressants also contain an ingredient for anxiety, which qualified studies found to be a part of a depressed state and by adding the anti-anxiety ingredient into the antidepressant pill increased the time frame of feeling relief for patients, which in itself helped patients confidence in continuing to take the medication treatment as prescribed. Many antidepressants that did work well took sometimes weeks of daily doses before the patient began to feel relief. Again, Xanax and Prozac can be taken together safely.

For some people. It is irresponsible of you to say that the drugs have little dangerous interactions when it is clearly found with a Google search the destructive, manic and psychotic states the two can make someone when combined.

You may want to ask your doctor this question but nowhere have I read or been told that depression/anxiety meds and diet pills decrease the effectiveness of the depo shot. If you told your doctor you were taking those meds, I am sure he/she wouldn't have suggested the depo shot if it was known effectiveness would decrease. That is why it is good to get contraceptives from a doctor because they know your medical history and know exactly what is best for you.

As someone who has tried to overdose on a mixture or prozac and ibroprofen and then drank heavily, it is more than 35 pills of Prozac & 6 ibroprufen to even do anything more than make you have bad stomach ache, plus the alcohol all it results in is a collapse and hospitalization. In my case I was prescribed Prozac for suicidal tendencies and my doctors informed me that I could not kill myself on it (although I tried). It can cause substantial damage, and I was lucky as I was young my body rebounded, if you are considering this you should go and see your doctor and get referred to a therapist. There was never a risk of death in my case aside from choking on my vomit.

No. Barbituates are drugs that are used as hypnotics or sleep inducers. Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, and also sometimes used to aid in the cessation of smoking.

Check out this great site on Lexapro withdrawal. The members are real people posting their experiences with Lexapro withdrawal.

Yes; Venlafaxine has been prescribed off-label to help treat ADHD with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety as it belongs to a class of drugs known as SNRI's (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors). The drugs action on norepinephrine is believed to contribute to the positive effects it exhibits for individuals with ADHD. Norepinephrine is believed to play a role in ADHD and focus; thus the drug increases the chemical in the brain by preventing the brain and helps some patients with ADHD.

It is well-documented that wellbutrin can either raise or lower blood sugars. Simply google "can wellbutrin affect blood sugars" and you will see it is possible.

A urinary drug screen or a blood test would screen for a substance called tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana and it can take about a week to be fully excreted from the body. There is no food that I am aware of that would cause THC to be found on a drug test as THC is found only in cannibis plants. Unless of course you have been eating hashish cookies.

Actually, I did an experiment for this in school years back, & sesame seeds (You need >1 lb of them) can cause trace amounts to show up on a drug screen.

Poppy seeds make you fail for opiates.

Simvastatin is not an MAOI.

A psychotropic has the ability to modify mental activity at body's natural chemicals. Prozac is used as anti-depressant.

No it is not a trycyclic.

Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine

I noticed a change with 10 mg. within a couple of days. The full effect seems to be reached at about 4 weeks. So I'd say it starts to work right away. If you are very anxious or depressed you may not notice it has started because you still feel bad at times. Dont give up too soon. God Bless You

Answer:

Trazadone reacts differently on different people, and in some, it acts as a strong sleeping aid. As with other sleep aids, such as Ambien, it can cause somnambulance- (walking or activity while you are asleep.) Usually, people don't remember unless someone tells them, or they find evidence of nighttime activity! Use caution and reduce dosage after consulting your primary care physician.

There are no medications without side effects. Anything you take into your body will affects your whole body. This is why side effects occur. The medication not only affects the thing that is wrong, but also the rest of you.

Cymbalta is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). Cymbalta works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances in the brain (serotonin and norepinephrine), which helps to improve certain mood problems.

I've tried a benzo with a Strattera once and it was ok... not sure about long term use though, I only did it once.

I stopped taking 40mg about a week ago and have a lingering headache and nausea ---- *i started not taking mine either and now i have dry mouth and head achs ---- *stopping abruptly after 8 years I'm now finding myself "loosing it" over the most trivial matters with family members. I want to escape my home, and I want people to leave me alone. I was never like this before. I was a mild mannered loving person and now everyone's walking on eggshells around me. Will this pass?

No, Adderall is a psychostimulant drug used mainly in the treatment of ADD and ADHD.
