Antidepressants

When Ritalin is sniffed it is similar to taking it orally except it is stronger and lasts for a shorter amount of time, it creates more of a high than taking more than you need orally but does not last as long.

Surprisingly few. As antidepressants are given to treat depression, medications that are particularly lethal in smaller doses present obvious problems. As such, I am not aware of an antidepressant that has a lethal dosage that isn't huge, and unobtainable.

Do note however, that overdosing on anything may have unforeseen and uncomfortable effects, other than lethality.

Celexa can cause withdrawal. A patient must be on the medication for quite some time before something like this happens. Celexa Withdrawal Side Effects are as follows: Headache, Increased Sweating, Diarrhea, Insomnia, Muscle Cramps and/or Muscle Pain, Restless Legs (Pins and Needles feeling in legs), Dilated Pupils, Irritability, and Hallucinations. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS AFTER DISCONTINUING CELEXA.

Effexor (venlafaxine) is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). Venlafaxine affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression. Effexor is used to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety, and panic disorder. An Effexor addiction can result when a person continues to abuse the drug in an attempt to get high (an intense euphoric reaction to a drug). .

A hypothetical patient may be safely prescribed this combination to treat a variety of conditions. As these are each prescription medications, they should only be taken (singly or in combination) under the specific instruction of your physician.

Can you mix Cymbalta and Celexa together?

Tramadol is a synthetic opiate, albeit a minor one. Wellbutrin isn't - it's an anti-depressant.

Yes.

Excedrin contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and caffeine. All three of these are safe to take with Effexor, a SNRI used to treat depression, as well as used off-label to treat migraines.

Everyone reacts differently from withdrawal or addition of medications, therefore I am unable to answer your question black and white. However, if you were on Lexapro 5mg by the mouth once per day for three months and now, as per your Doctors instructions are reducing it to 2.5mg and then discontinuing the medication you will most likely have no withdrawal symptoms or side effects.

Oh yea!! I worked really good but it made me sleepy, I could have slept all day if I had the oppourtunity. I was having panic attacks in my sleep which would case me to wake up constantly and then I would get depressed from the lack of sleep, so the being sleepy on the Lexapro did not bother me because I was finally able to sleep. Try taking it at night before you go to sleep. That might help because if you take it in the morning, it will make you tired all day, but if you take it at night you might sleep off the tired feeling and have more energy in the day. Also, when I weaned off the Lexapro, I took me about a month and a half and I had no side effects during the weaning process. Just don't stop cold turkey. If or when you try to wean off, I can give some good pointers on the process.

Citalopram is a benzodiazepine and oxycodone is an opioid, which can interact to cause respiratory and CNS depression. They are sometimes prescribes together, but only with careful monitoring. Please see www.overdoselaw.com for more information.

You should contact your nearest emergency department or poisons information center immediately. Ensure you have the name of the particular medication.

I don't know for sure, but I've been taking lexapro for over a year now, and my prescription ran out a week ago and my pharmacist wouldn't fill it without ok from doc, who was on vacation. This is day 7 and today I feel like I could just fall over, my head hurts, I'm having panic attacks...it am assuming its from the drug...i go back to doc in two days.

Bupropion is a pill that can apparently make you feel better and can help you to stop smoking. I don't know if it's true, or if the uses are phycological.

This is rarely the case, as Wellbutrin (bupropion) is a stimulating antidepressant. The neurotransmitters it stimulates include norepinephrine and dopamine. The use of Wellbutrin most often produces a perception of increased energy, concentration and improved mood. Side effects, as a result, can include anxiety, agitation and mild weight loss, as well as mild appetite suppression. As always, consult your prescribing physician for any particular individual effects that are experienced, even if they are rare or unusual.

I have been taking wellbutrin (bupropion) for about 4 years now, and my doctor just added sertraline (zoloft) to take as well. He told me that the two are perfectly fine to be taken together. And according to what i have read online, it seems they are fine to take together.

Mixing sedating drugs such as Ambien with alcohol can be very dangerous. The nervous system slows down causing respiratory depression which, with higher doses, can be lethal. Depending on how Lexapro affects you, it could causes the same overly sedating reaction when mixed with alcohol. To be wise mix neither, but the Ambien/alcohol combination is quite a bit more risky than Lexapro and alcohol.

The only effective treatment for severe depression is therapy that includes medical treatment if needed. For minor depression, try exercise, eating well and a multivitamin (with meal) once a day. Try to get sufficient sleep, but don't overdo it. Eight hours a night is plenty. Then get out of bed, eat a decent breakfast -- not coffee and a donut -- and go for a walk. Avoid alcohol and all mood-altering drugs, unless prescribed by a psychiatrist. That includes antidepressants prescribed by your family doctor. She is not qualified to treat depression unless she is a psychotherapist or psychiatrist.

If exercise, rest and diet do not help, you should see a physician, as depression commonly gets greater over time if untreated.

celexa is a generic of lexapro Celexa is not the generic of Lexapro. Its the sister of Celexa. Lexapro will go generic, hopefully, by 2012

I don't see why not. I have been on welbutrin for a while now and have had scripts for both oxycodone and hydrocodone...which are technically a morphine derivative, nut they were Apap, which means it has a certain amount of Tylenol in it.

Nyquil contains dextromethorphan which should not be mixed with antidepressants. This is now listed on the pamphlet that comes with the drug from the pharmacy. Several years ago, before this was listed on the pamphlet, I took Nyquil and was also taking Prozac. I ended up having terrible hallucinations and was put in the hospital for a few days because I was having trouble walking.

Yes, Ativan and Celexa do interact. It is considered a moderate interaction in which a doctor will carefully outweigh the benefits with the cost of mixing them depending on your situation. It is supposed to be used it "special circumstances."

The slower the better. You can try many ways, but if you wanna be sure to make it through, TAKE your time. You can try tapering to 15 mg for a week and see how you feel... If it's not okay, go back to one day 20, one 15, one 20, one 15... Then one 20, two fifteen, and so on ...

If you feel fine at 15, go down to 10 for a week. Then 5, for a week... Then 2,5...

Taper as slowly as needed, there is no hurry, and keep in touch with your doctor/psy on a weekly basis if possible.

It is totally possible to stop but you must not feel angry or sad or frustrated if it doesn't work, just go more slowly.

Also, keep yourself busy but with fun and/or distracting things while tapering down, spoil yourself (cliché I know, but it works !), share with someone you trust your ups and downs on a daily basis, and keep in mind that in the end, everyone can get through it in time :)

Yes, it is a recommended combination for patients suffering from panic disorder. Ativan is also used when you start taking an anti-depressant, to counter the side-effects at the start of the treatment. Ativan is highly addictive. Regular use over 2 weeks can cause physical and psychological addiction, modifying GABA benzodiazepine receptors in the brain. Even if your doctor advices you to take benzodiazepines on a daily basis - longer than two weeks, you should consider the outcome, which is an addiction problem.
