Effexor (Venlafaxine)

Yes and no. Depends on what kind you take.

simple yes

can you take over the counter sleeping pills while taking anafranil

You get to use admin for the rest of the day. Just don't forget to use F1 for the help menu.

I'm not much of a specialist here, but it looks like these two have somewhat opposite effects. Ginseng ramps you up while an antidepressant calms you down. I wouldn't do that.

A definite yes. I am currently taking seroquel and zyprexa and i just talked to the pharmacist to see if i can take trazadone with these to help me sleep. He assured me the combination is fine.

can cymbalta and effoxor be taken together

Effexor does not seem to make me sleepy or energetic. Though side effect are only suppose to happen to 10% of those who take Effexor (I read).

around 1 dollar a tab so if you have a lot you could easily make 20-30 bucks

Effexor is an SNRI antidepressant and has no recreational or abuse potential. It is not a street drug and would be unlikely to have any street value

I posted this question because I am considering switching medications and am nervous about it due to so many adverse accounts I've been reading on the internet. I have been taking Lexapro 15mg for 2 years for GAD treatment. I had dry mouth at first, but it went away quickly. The mental effects have been wonderful and I feel like "me" again without all the worrying. My reason for switching is due to extreme lethargy (sleeping 10 hours a night then taking 2 hour naps mid-day!), night sweats, and absolutely NO libido. I though I could deal with the libido thing, but after 2 years it's driving me crazy. My doctor suggested I try Effexor XR because at a low dose (75mg) she thinks it wouldn't effect my sex drive nor make me so sleepy, yet would still treat my GAD. I was all for it today in her office, but when I came home and started researching Effexor on the web, I am reading so many terrifying reviews about it--mostly of its horrible withdrawal symptoms. Does anyone out there have any experience with this? Should I stay put with Lexapro or go forward with Effexor? Or is there something else that would work better?? Help! PS I am also taking birth control (Yaz), which may or may not have anything to do with this scenario, but I thought yaou should know my whole medical situation.

Yes, there are no drug interactions.

I don't know if it is dangerous, but i do know it is a very strong anti depressant. The doctor put me on this my junior year in high school and to this day (now 22) i remember exactly how it made me feel. I was more angry on it, i felt a constant fuzz feeling in my brain, and i felt like i was more out of control on it then i was before i got on it. After I got into an argument that i had started for no apparent reason i quit taking it that day and never returned to that doctor. I remember the urge to literally hurt somebody. I was shortly put on another medication that i can't remember the name but i had NONE of the effects that i did from effexor..

taking more than your doctor told you to is overdosing...you would get serotonin syndrome if you had too many.....its a painful death and most people wake up in hospital with a tube down their throat and their stomach being pumped like a prison boys bum

can you take Effexor with amberen

Robaxacet is consumed to control backache while Celebrex is used to control knee and joint pains. Celebrex and Robaxcet can be used together since they both are muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Effexor (venlafaxine) is a medication prescribed for depression and anxiety disorders. The most common side-effects are: nausea, diarrhea, weakness, tiredness, sweating, and a poor appetite, .

I think the real question is why take phentermine at all. But to answer your question, no, you should not take it while on the HCG protocol. The HCG Protocol works better than any other weight loss plan all on its own. Taking an appetite suppressant like this in addition to the HCG is not advised. If the HCG you're taking is real (injections or sublingual), then you should not have a problem with appetite anyway.

Anyone considering taking phentermine first needs to read the link below in the related links section.

Prozac (fluoxetine) and Celexa (citalopram) have the same mechanism of action. The biggest differences are in pharmacokinetics (how the body handles the drug). Fluoxetine stays in the body for a couple of weeks after the medication has been discontinued. Citalopram is cleared more rapidly. Fluoxetine has much more drug/drug interactions which might become a problem when using certain other drugs at the same time.

Effexor (venlafaxine) is not known to cause a drug screen to show cocaine. Standard drug tests typically screen for specific substances, and while Effexor can sometimes lead to false positives for other drugs, it does not cross-react with cocaine. If you are undergoing a drug test and are concerned about potential interactions, it's best to inform the testing agency about any medications you are taking.

Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. You might experiment more side effects (dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, ..). This combination might be used in refracting depression (not responding to only 1 antidepressant - or too many side effects at higher dose)

Yes

Gabapentin is Neurontin. If your doctor prescribed those to you then there shouldn't be a problem with you taking them as prescribed. I was taking them together as prescribed & I was ok.

I wouldn't. I have no history of seizures and within a week of starting a cyclobenzaprine treatment, and had a seizure.
