Prozac

It is possible to breastfeed while taking antidepressants as long as you are carefully monitored by a physician.

The dosage of fluoxetine hydrochloride required for an overdose depends both on the mass of the person in question and how long that person has been taking the drug. For approximately four weeks, the level of fluoxetine in the bloodstream increases, as its presence inhibits its own metabolization. This decreases the amount of fluoxetine required to reach a level associated with adverse effects.

The lowest known dosage of fluoxetine hydrochloride associated with death was 520 mg. However, the actual cause of death in this case was not confirmed to be overdose. On the other hand, the largest known overdose of only fluoxetine hydrochloride was 8 full grams. This patient subsequently made a full recovery.

My doctor prescribed 400mg Seroquel, 500mg Depakote XR 2x a day, 450mg Lithium 2x a day, and next week he is adding Lamictal. I spent one month inpatient, and have been released for a week with no problems. I would assume this means Lamictal is fine with Depakote.

It is IMPORTANT to have blood tests done weekly while on Lithium, to ensure you don't get toxic levels. I have been told to NEVER just stop taking Lamictal, as it causes Steven Johnson's disease (requires an immediate trip to the ER burn unit because your skin will "fall off your body".

So just TRUST YOUR DOCTORS ORDERS!! :)

No, do not! Whatever you do never mix an SSRI with MDMA. There is a possibility of frying your brain when both are mixed together. If your going use a drug, especially one as serious as E, please research it properly first.

That depends on how it affects you. Borderline Personality Disorder can be mild, moderate or severe like any condition although the depressive side of it can be an intense dysphoria.

A psychiatric assessment is probably the way to go, to officially decide whether it has disabled you or not.

Prozac will not make you test positive for Benzos in any way. They are a completely different class of drugs known as SSRI's or anti-depressants which are meant as a mood lifter or stabilizer. Benzos of the other hand such as Valium, Xanax, or Ativan which I take work on different chemicals entirely to calm a person with anxiety issues and the like. Prozac works on the chemical in the brain known as seratonin, both can be tested for in the blood but certainly should not be mistaken for the other.

Since the Slim Quick brand of weight loss medication hasn't been approved by the FDA (food and drug administration) it would be wise to talk to your doctor about interacting Slim Quick with any other medication.

Many drugs have severe side-effects, not to mention are considered "Narcotic". Only a doctor can tell you what is right for you. Never self-prescribe your own drugs. You may not need it after all. If you have depression seek help, depression can become very serious.

yes. very often actually

Practically impossible.

Incomplete list but these medications have reported serious interactions with Prozac (fluoxetine): Phenylpropanolamine, tramadol, fentanyl, pentobarbital, propoxyphene, pethidine (meperidine), naloxone, pentazocine, sumatriptan, phenyltoloxamine, remifentanil, sufentanil.

I have one of the best Gynaes and he has put me on lilly-fluoxetine, he has assured me that it is safe to use!

I am not a doctor but I would strongly advise not to. I really don't think that's the proper way to take it and there have been a lot of reports of negative side effects already from unproperly administrating prozac.

The brand name for Fluoxetine is Prozac, Sarafem or Prozac.

Prozac, a trade name for fluoxetine is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant. Its benefits, among many is that it affects chemicals in the brain which may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Also, Prozac is used to treat major depressive disorders such as bulimia nervosa- an eating disorder, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), panic disorders, and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder).

Whilst its usage typically manifests itself after about a fortnight, (two weeks), there are side-affects which can include nervousness, loss of sleep, slight anxiety, and very rarely nausea. Generally, after a brief period of endurance, these side-affects dissipate after a brief period of usage. As for Prozac assisting with matters of diet, (what it was originally created for), or anxieties, it is highly doubtful that one might feel any change in these conditions within 24 hours. Mostly, the initial side-effect is feeling somewhat jittery or anxious. It may be that the doses you are taking are too high initially.

Additionally, it is advisable to check your blood pressure. If you are obese, or facing other challenges which affect blood pressure, it may be best to consider changing to a similar SSRI such as Citalopram.

Eli Lilly (Dista Products)

Phenergan (promethazine), when given via injection should always be injected into a large muscle. Ventrogluteal is the best site (hip-buttocks area). It should NEVER be injected IV push as it is a vesicant and causes severe irritation to the vessel walls including scleroses (forming scar tissue within a vein). If you do this, you'll notice the vein crimping up under your skin.

If it is accidentally injected into an artery, it CAN potentially lead to gangrene. If given IV, which is really never done as there are better IV alternatives, it must be greatly diluted and administered slowly and there are still risks of tissue damage.

Stick to IM injections. In the rear end. And dont try to give them to yourself. Have someone who knows the anatomical landmarks and how to give IMs correctly.

Neither Prozac nor Strattera are uppers or downers. Prozac works on serotonin, and Strattera works on norepinephrine, two of our brain cocktails. Both drugs level out their respective neurotransmitters; nothing is added or removed, just made to work more efficiently. Prozac may inhibit some of the activity by Strattera; as for being safe, however, this is for a doctor to decide and monitor. Each case is different.

Just say no! to this combination of drugs. THere is no research indicating the efficacy, benefits or risks of this kind of drug combination.

Taking this combination is risky and can lead to sudden death in a worst case scenario.

My daughter took Prozac for PMDD. For nine months, it has been very successful. Now, she has started having crying jags, and we discontinued the Prozac. She is nineteen, and I think the Prozac may be exacerbating other symptoms, or perhaps it is causing depression. We are not sure, so we are exploring other options.
