Avatar n tn I take seroquel, cipralex and have been taking NeoCitran for a bad cold. I feel down, negative, tired even a little depressed. I wonder if this a side effect of the anti-depressent mixed with the cold medication?
3178266 tn?1344536316 I take prescription medication on a daily basis dealing with anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders. Will my meds hurt my baby? I take Clonazapam, cipralex, epival, and seroquel.
574118 tn?1305135284 So do you think panic and fear can be an extra side effect of cipralex and i should increase the above doze of xanax.
574118 tn?1305135284 t around) he said no need to augment the seroquel but i can increase the benzo to 0.5mg and go back to the cipralex of 5mg again. Perhaps this could not be the optimum solution, but since i found this new job which i FEAR to LOSE very much. Could you kindly HELP me at the moment (just try to give an opinion as you can) so that I can get stabilized. Perhaps some of you will advise other solution of stronger MS etc...
Avatar f tn Dear Doctor, Am currently taking 20 mg Prozac in the morning (to replace the Cipralex I've been on for at least 5 years) for depression and anxiety (P.T.S.D. & O.C.D./Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) ( Am slowly weaning from Cipralex/Escitalopram as I gained weight on it and other side effects) Am down to 5 mg of Cipralex at nite along with 50 mg SEROQUELXR for sleep (have been taking the SeroquelXR 50mg for approx.
Avatar f tn I'm on Cipralex 15mg for anxiety and depression and Seroquel 20mg at night for insomnia. I've been on remeron/mirtazapine before and had no sexual disfunction issues, however I haven't had the interest in sex/intimacy or ability to orgasm since a month prior to getting on the meds. I just started taking Wellbutrin XL 150mg because I'm told it should help with the sexual disfunction. How long until I notice a difference? Do you think I'm on too many medications?
Avatar f tn I am going through the same thing you are right now, also on Zeldox (Geodon in US), and Cipralex for depression. If you just started on the Seroquel, its going to take some time for your body to adjust to the new med., so insomnia is part of the side effects. I am lucky in the fact that I am not working right now because of my disease, and the advice my doctor gave me was to "go with the flow", sleep when you are tired.
1052851 tn?1307741160 I am currently on 200mg Quetiapine and 30mg Cipralex in the morning. 100mg Quetiapine at noon, and 300mg Quetiapine at night, along with 50mg Clonazapam. I tried taking Zeldox, as I gained a lot of weight from the Quetiapine, but the Dr. made it an add on and kept me on the Quetiapine as well. I had very bad side effects, and got off the Zeldox immediately. I told my doctor about it, and she changed the Zeldox, which was 80mg daily to Abilify, which I take 10mg in the morning and 10mg at noon.
Avatar n tn what vitamins and natural remedies (herbs) should i avoid when on cipralex and seoquel ?
574118 tn?1305135284 Now comes the turn of the risperidone (took 7 years non-stop) and seroquel (2 years and used to stop my mixed states). However if I were cyclothemic then it's only the AD which made me so, and the dose is minimal and by the way each time i consult another stupid ugly pdoc he would tell me you don't take meds rather these doses help you only to sleep. So tonight i won't take them and we will see. Do you know what will happen if i live till tomorrow ?
574118 tn?1305135284 ve given myself a break but then became depressed again the day before yesterday and with 3 hrs in the morning of motor activity and restlesness so restarted yesterday the cipralex based on pdocs view. Again the depression lessened directly but today i am very sleepy on and off (2 hrs asleep and 2 hrs awake all day long in addition to the 10 hrs at night). could you please tell me why i am so sleepy?. Is it because i was tired the day before i.e.
915369 tn?1355314810 s emergency room- and if you find a pdoc there he will resolve this matter right away. nevertheless, seroquel is my companion in this bloody trip of mania as to feeling well first. of course this is the correct sequence, euphoric then disphoric, in my case euphoric, a little disphoric, then a bloody mixed states wanting to kill somebody. so you better abort it now, and don't wait until your damn 2 docs respond.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Escitalopram 10mg (aka Cipralex / Lexapro) for 31 days today. For this past week Ive been having repeated very bad morning anxiety/ morning terror. I wake up in a state of panic, palpitations, difficulty breathing, hot flashes, feeling of extreme terror, and I'm afraid to start my day. This sometimes continues for 3-4 hours and improves gradually if I take my Seroquel 100mg. But some days it continues until I go to bed.
1012542 tn?1313354880 put me on Seroquel first and then added Abilify recently (20mg), and it seems to bump up the benefits of Seroquel of which I now take 700mg per day, plus I take Cipralex 30mg (anti-depressant). It seems to be working for me, so far, but as you know its all trial and error. Some people say they gained weight from Abilify, I havent as of yet, but I did gain weight with the Seroquel, but the benefits outweigh the side effects.
Avatar m tn Hi this is typically me it's difficult to say whether you are bipolar or not. Pdocs without exception tell you if you get manic/hypomanic even ONCE then you are bipolar. Whether this is true or not, nobody knows. There is a person though Akiskal (psychiatrist, google him) he classifies this as BP III or cyclothemia (mild BP) that is antidepressant induced mania.
1926604 tn?1322961405 i have been on lexapro for over a month and have been upped to 20mgs a week or 2 ago. It is not helping. i don't want to clean. I don't want to cook. food doesn't even sound good. i am loosing weight. i am cold all the time. i was thinking about mentioning wellbutrin to my doctor. Any advice?
Avatar m tn At the present I have been taking 600 mg of Seroquel an antipsychotic for about 5 weeks now and at that high level it becomes a mood stabilizer but I have yet to feel the effects of it. I have also been told that I am a paranoid or delusional also hence taking Seroquel. Can anyone share if they also been diagnosed with a Bipolar Depression or with a Mood Disorder ? I believe that its more over BiPolar/Mood Disorder then anything else.
574118 tn?1305135284 s in the past. He suggested I take cipralex AD at very low dose of 5mg for the depression and to discontinue straight away if it causes any manic symptoms such as insomnia. I said I would go home and think about it and go back in 2 days - what do you think adel? or anyone else for that matter?
3166043 tn?1514260018 ve taken risperidol, Xanax, clonazepam, Valium, cipralex, serequel and propananol and ativan. I hate taking Meds because I wish I could deal with it on my own. Will there ever come a day where I don't have to take these Meds? I don't want them doing long term damage to my body.
Avatar f tn I was on Cipralex for a year since losing dad and losing my job. had bad anxiety and insomnia.
1267205 tn?1321117128 anxiety is a common denominator for all psych disorders. it's not specific to BP alone. Taking cipralex will do you good for a while but then it will drive you manic eventually. you said cipralex, is it the only drug you take or along with other meds ? because if you take mood stabilizers along with then perhaps it's safe. but i never heard someone with BP is prescribed an antidepressant only. cipralex is rather strong it's an SSRI.
Avatar m tn He told me to consult with the psychristic. I consulted with the psychristic. He advised me to take cipralex for one and half month. After taking the cipralex too i feels the same sympton. For that i once again consulted with the other neurophysician in bangalore. He advised me for doing the MRI Scan. The result of the MRI saying "Mild ectopia of cerebellar tonsils. The tips of the tonsil is 5mm below the formen magnum. No mass effect is seen on the Brain stem.
1699382 tn?1307603715 I got alot better after that, however last year August my moods have became unmanagable, and my GP started me on the Lamictan and Cipralex again. I saw a Psychaitrist, who sent me to a Neurologist for a EEG, the results were abnormal and i was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, which they said subsequently caused the BD. The Neurologist increased my Lamictan doseage to 250mg. I went through hell, falling asleep at my desk, insomnia, i was just tired all the time.
Avatar f tn My went to visit my doctor about my anxiety and sleeping issues and he has put me on Cipralex 10mg dosage a day and also prescribed me 50mg of trazodone to be taken at bedtime to help me sleep. Does anyone take these prescriptions? if so could I please get some feedback on them?
Avatar m tn I have had head aches on cipralex, and when I drink some or even more then some drinks I get almost sick with a head ache. 1) are head aches common in taking anxiety drugs, 2) any way preventing the head aches. 3) dry mouth is that common with these drugs.
Avatar n tn I would give it some time. and don't keep checking your heart rate. Cipralex and this class of drugs are long acting and not something that would just drop your heart rate. But as your stress and anxiety decrease, your heart rate in the resting mode may go back to normal. A resting heart rate of 50 is in the normal range. You are on a low dose. Hope it helps your anxiety/panic. I have found that often anxiety takes a bit higher dose to really work well.
