Common Questions and Answers about Depression causes and effects
depression
Hi.....I have both migraines and depression. My neuro doc put me on Topamax (I take it daily) for migraine management and when I do get "breakthrough" migraines I take Maxalt. The Topamax has worked wonders!!! But it isn't without some nasty side effects. Initially it causes your feet, hands and face to tingle (that goes away)....but it plays hell with your memory (not everyone gets this, but I did). It takes away your appetite (at least it did for me).
s psychiatrist prescribed lexapro and clonazepam for constant panic attacks and depression works great with no side effects. He refused to consider prozac for my 25 year old son.
This is one of the most common side effects of antidepressants. Either it goes away or it doesn't. I would also ask, what meds have you tried? How bad is your anxiety and have you tried therapy for it? And I would discuss this med with your psychiatrist -- this drug isn't usually used for anxiety, it's usually used only for depression as it's a very stimulating drug and can cause anxiety.
I took roaccutane in my late teens and it cleared up my acne wonderfully for a few years, but then it came back, and worse. My skin is much more sensitive now than it ever was before - rashes all the time.. Also, there have been big 'hoo haas' about whether or not it causes depression. I have also suffered a number of clinical depressions since.
The best thing I've found for acne is Brevoxyl (4% benzoyl peroxide). It's a cream, available over the counter.
Depression can present itself with physical symptoms. I have had many of these symptoms, and have even been to hospital, where everything was negative. With anti-depressant medication I am now feeling very well.
People are surprised that depression can give so many different physical symptoms.
I smoke and wonder if it interferes with the medications, have breakthrough depression after many years on meds.
Medications have come a very long way, (but they ALL carry some side effects with them) as has the understanding of anxiety/panic and depression. Can you get him to a doctor to at least discuss these issues and some options?
That he is afraid to leave the country for fear they won't let him back in is very paranoid thinking. As is the thought that everyone is out to get him.
That he looks at things from 50 different angles could be a form of an OCD type condition.
Is this caused by depression and anxiety

I just want a little clarification. I've had the Nexplanon implant for about...3 months now. I've done my research and read all of the side effects. I haven't had a menstrual cycle since the implant, I have also taken a pregnancy test and came out negative. I know this is mentioned on a lot of side effect lists but I just want to make sure there's nothing I should rush to a doctor to get checked out.
now I need something to help with the side effects of the beta blocker....horrible side effects and depression. Can anyone share their stories here that have had similar issues as I can't stop the beta blocker.
Atripla is not a good choice then.
Treating anxiety and depression in children and teens is VERY tricky, for this exact reason. The very meds that may help a lot of adults have pretty AWFUL effects on the growing, developing person. Even young adults in their 20's can react badly to these meds. MY guess is that is what is causing his suicidal thoughts...it is actually a common side effect. Work CLOSELY with your son's doc....
Cyclical depression, is caused by a chemical imbalance , it's nothing someone's done, but seems to come back, not dissapate.. Unfortunately, meds seem to be they way to maintain you from having serious dips on moods. It sounds like your moods go up and down a fair it, it would be prudent for you to get referred to a psychiatrist.
I am wondering if the ephedrine has directly caused the depression and binge eating/bulimia as I never had these problems prior to taking it, and if this is the case, will and SSRI even be the best option to help me get back to normal? I am also scheduled for cognitive behavioral therapy.
I understand that mixing Xanax and Alcohol can have serious negative effects. However, my question is mainly about Xanax, and in regard to how long it stays in the system to the point where it is dangerous to mix with alcohol. (i.e., is it dangerous to drink alcohol after 1 day of not taking Xanax?..2 days? etc). Another question, how serious are the long-term effects of drinking alcohol WITH xanax?
Some people can't take certain pills because it causes mood issues. I'd call your doctor and tell her you are stopping the pill and would like to discuss another possibility. Does she know you were on Yaz before?
Xanax, titrate slowly and with your doctors help. Cutting meds off suddenly will cause major side effects and even cause pain to return.
If you don't have one already, speak with a Neurologist.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
My Sincere & Best Wishes to you - I hope you continue to remain pain and drug free!
