Prozac

It's not so much a matter of reaction as it is efficacy. Alcohol is a depressant and Prozac is an antidepressant. Excessive alcohol use/abuse counteracts the antidepressant effects of Prozac. Basically, it will not work as well, if at all.

Also, when there is a reaction, individuals who are on Prozac and use alcohol can experience intoxication more easily and readily. As a result, poor impulsivity and judgment can occur.

Prozac and phentermine should not be taken together as this will cause a major reaction between the too. Increased side effects such as anxiety, jitteriness, and restlessness can occur if take

Yes I did. It worked better for me than decreasing does of Effexor from 225mg. I immediately stopped taking Effexor 225mg. Then started with 20mg of Fluoxetine (Prozac) for first week then go to 10mg for second week. I got a 30 day supply of 10mg. Take 2 per day 10 mg for first week..then 1 per day 10mg second week. then throw out the rest. No side effects for me at all. Doctor here in Atlanta recommended it.

I take 30 mg of Adderall XR daily (except weekends). I've been taking 5htp as well to stabilize my moods. I haven't had any problems and I feel like I have been sleeping better in addition to having more stable moods. I noticed that I was becoming easily aggravated, angry and had almost no patience. I take 200mg of 5htp every day in the morning, with my multi and my Adderall and I haven't noticed any negative side effects. I've only been doing this for about two weeks however. I am unsure of the long term effects.

Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Consult a medical doctor before use if you have been treated for or diagnosed with or have a family history of any medical condition. Do not use if you are taking a MAOI, SSRI or any other product containing ingredients with a stimulant effect. Types of SSRIs: Common SSRIs include Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate), Celexa (citalopram), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Paxil (paroxetine), Zoloft (sertraline) and Prozac (fluoxetine).

I don't recommend it, I did so, and experienced self-induced seizures.

You can take Depakote with Tramadol as long as you don't exceed more than 3 a day. I am on both meds and the pharamists told me that and I have lived by it, and I have not had seizures but then again I am taking Depakote for BiPolar Disorder not epilepsy.

It does not make a difference when in the day you take Lexapro; it is just important that you take it at the same time each day consistently. The best time of the day to take it is when you are most likely to remember to take it.

***It doesn't make a difference to how well they work, but it does make a difference to how your body reacts throughout the day depending on when you take it, and the difference also depends on each individual.

Each person reacts differently to Lexapro and therefore it is up to you to determine when it is best for you to take it. Eg: If it causes you to be drowsy take it at night. If it causes insomnia then take it in the morning.

Hope that helps!

Buspirone's chemical structure and mechanism of action are completely unrelated to those of the benzodiazepines, nor does it have an efficacy comparable to that of members of the benzodiazepine family, such as diazepam (Valium) in treating GAD.[2][3] Unlike the benzodiazepines, buspirone shows no potential for addiction or dependence, and the development of tolerance has not been observed. Furthermore, cross-tolerance to benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and alcohol, as well as other GABAergics, is not present either.

XANAX is a benzodiazepine

No. Pristiq contains the active ingredient Desvenlafaxine which is an SNRI (Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor).

My psychologist prescribed it to me while knowing that I am on 20mg of Prozac so yes I believe so.

No. Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) is in the class of antidepressants called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).

Citalopram is also known as Celexa. Celexa is an antidepressant drug for the treatment of depression.

Herbal supplements generally don't work as well as SSRI antidepressants like Lexapro because they are not specifically formulated to help the neurotransmitters in the brain.

However, if you are not on ANY psychotropic drug, you can try St. John's Wort. It supposedly improves mood. However, again, don't take it if you are taking any other psychotropic drug!!!!

Please read the antidepressant solution. Great book. It indicates about 2 months.

I was prescribed these two drugs together while waiting on back surgery in 1990

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.

In some rare instances it can be of use, however in many cases Prozac is no longer prescribed to teens as SSRI antidepressants have been proved to be highly risk laden when used with teens. In the United Kingdom it has been banned for use with children. There are many instances where the introduction of an antidepressant can make Bulimia worse, as it can increase anxiety.

I currently take 80mg straterra, 70mg vyvanse (a speed-derived drug like adderall), and 10mg lexapro (an ssri like paxil, luvox, etc) and it is working great!

before I started vyvanse, I was taking straterra with lexapro and adderall: about 40 mg of adderall daily.

taking too much adderall caused me to be very anxious, self-conscious, and almost paranoid. when I reduced adderall to about 20 mg/day, as well as when I switched over to vyvanse, things smoothed out much better.

i should add that I was smoking a decent amount of medical marijuana at for most of this period too, which probably increased the paranoia....

I have since stopped the pot, and things are very smooth.

Just my personal experience, your results may vary, but whatever you do, be very cafeful with adderall!!! I had a mild psychotic episode where I thought everyone was out to get me, I couldn't leave home, and I am a "normal" person!

be safe. these are tools, not toys.

I am on 40mg of Srattera (once a day), 30mg of Adderall and 37.5mg of Paxil. I haven't noticed any unusual side effects, but that is just my own experience. Every individual is unique in their response to certain medications.

The answer is YES!!! The person asked a yes or no question. They didn't ask for your medical history.

of course you can. any antidepressant or anti psychotic drug in a large number can kill a person. Im not going to suggest doing so, because that's just sick..but, if they don't kill, they leave horrible side effects that you will probably have forever. hope that helps.

Both Prozac and Wellbutrin are treatments for depression. Although there are hardly any clinical trials, if any, evaluating response and side effects of the combination therapy some psychiatrists believe the two medications can better handle different components of depression (such as anxiety). Since this is based on personal experiences, not actual systematic testing there is no reliable data on interactions between the two drugs, efficacy or safety.

I am a pharmacist and have seen the two used together...Cymbalta is a SNRI and can sometimes cause insomnia (usually used once daily). Prescribers may add trazodone once nightly and it is helpful for this side effect caused by Cymbalta.

i wouldn't worry too much about weaning off of Prozac...
it's acclimating to effexor (and weaning off of it) that's tough.

that said, effexor worked wonderfully for me, pulling me out of a very deep hole.

it's just that it has side effects that can be pretty rough.

For me, the good was it helped my mood and I lost some weight. The bad was reduced libido and teeth clenching. Go to Google.com and type in "which antidepressant" or "Prozac side effects" and you'll get lots of good information, but do consider the sources (reliable medical information or not).

I've been on a few different antidepressants, but overall for depression the best for me has been Prozac. They all have side effects; you just have to try them to see which ones you tolerate best. But give them a good try--they all take a month or so before you start feeling a difference, and ask your doctor how to wean off slowly if you don't feel an improvement and want to stop. The withdrawal symptoms can be very difficult. Remember, antidepressants go hand in hand with counseling; it's important to have both. Good Luck!

Please do bear in mind that the 'suicidal tendencies' associated with anti-depressants occur when they first start to work. Generally when a person who is feeling extremely depressed and in despair starts taking anti-depressants they feel a little bit better and enabled to take some control at last. Unfortunately the first thing they usually feel enabled to do is finish their misery by ending their own life. If they could just hold out for another week or two they would not only feel enabled and like they had some control of their life but not so terribly miserable that the only solution they can comprehend is to terminate their life. So please do think cautiously, look after yourself and seek professional help as you work things out.

The number one side effect of Prozac is nausea and GI upset (studies are showing that it can cause similar problems as NSAIDs so you should be careful with mixing these and if you are prone to ulcers/GI bleeds). Then comes decreased sexual desire.

Your doctor should have gone over this with you before prescribing these. Call his/her office and ask, as such things vary with the individual. If you cannot reach the office, contact your local pharmacy.
