Avatar n tn Oh no no no! You don't want to play doctor with this for a bunch of reasons. For one, you're talking about two totally different meds. Paxil is an antidepressant, and Xanax is a benzodiazepine. They cannot "replace" one another, they do totally different things. Do you not have a refill of the Paxil? If not, you need to contact your doc ASAP and obtain at least enough of the Paxil to get to into see your doc for a refill. Stopping Paxil abruptly can be a nightmare.
Avatar f tn I am currently looking for a new depression medication. I need some info on something that is NOT a SSRI, a hormone, and is not zoloft, celexa, or prozac......also something that does not contain salicylic acid aka aspirin. If anyone can help I would appreciate the help.
Avatar m tn He was very good and after a couple of meetings he prescribed me with medication for what he called a chemical imbalance in my brain that caused depression. The meds worked and I definitely wasn't as sad most of the time. So for seven years I've taken meds. More recently I've started to feel, emotionless and even angry (on the inside). Im not suicidal like I was in middle school, but I definitely don't feel good.

Avatar m tn First of I just want to say thank you to any one in advance who may leave a response to this post. I've been struggling with bad depression and I keep cycling fro one medication to another, not because the aren't working but, because I seem to really struggle with the physical side effects, The main problems are of course drowsiness, sexual dis-function, and constipation.

520191 tn?1355635402 Then from there ask about the specific side effect profile and efficacy of each one as regards its effect on depression and you could also look up the medication website. From what I am reading Amisulpride like Seroquel does have a mood stabilization effect and actually has shown efficacy on depresion though only a psychiatrist would understand this in full.
Avatar n tn One week ago my Dr changed my medication. I was taking 150mg of Wellbutrin and 8mg of Zanax a day. I have been on this medicine for about 10 years starting out at a much lower dosage. I DO NOT suffer from depression as I have told my Dr. I have built up immunity to these drugs and he switched me to 30mg Paxil, and 1mg Klonopin.

1139187 tn?1355706647 I have really bad shakes, nausea, and tinnitus (ear ringing) from medication I take for my thyroid. My Dr. gave me some depression medication and told me it may supress the symptoms. It ended up making them worse. He gave me citalopram. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Avatar n tn Actually feelings of guilt can be part of depression. You made some mistakes and you are right to be concerned and seek help. Suicide is not courageous. Don't even think about it. Seeking help is the right thing to do. Speak to your psychiatrist about the fact that the medication you take isn't helping you as much as it should and they can decide what to do from there.
