Avatar m tn The other bigger question I have is how are drugs treatment for depression and/or general anxiety disorder view be transplant teams.

While it's very hard sometimes to push ourselves to TRY, it's just so important.
Avatar f tn re not already on anti-depressants, they may be recommended before you start treatment as the treatment drugs can make depression worse.
Avatar f tn None months seems like a long time to start experiencing a depression that would be directly attributed to the antiviral drugs since the drugs are completely out of your system by now. However, the drugs may have caused a chemical imbalance that won't go away without medical intervention or medication. See a doctor, consider an AD and maybe some counseling.
Avatar f tn One can for instance solve most blood abnormalities, gastro disturbances, and depression issues with the right rescue drugs. Often people stop for uncomfortable but not life threatening reasons, and this can be a costly choice. Sometimes people are advised to stop because they did not respond in as timely a manner as the doctor had hoped.
Avatar f tn Are there any drugs to help the weakness and the peripheral neuropathy? I would be very grateful to know ASAP!
Avatar m tn Although acute withdrawal can be completed in a week without the drug, long term withdrawal symptoms will persist. Medical treatment can help with depression and coping skills. The risk for addicts is that they will think one round of withdrawal and suffering has somehow made them less likely to slide back into full blown addiction. This is not the case.
Avatar n tn Yes, it takes a while to get back to normal after TX. In fact, some people here who have recently finished treatment have found their depression to be worse for a while right after treatment is over. That doesn't hold true for everyone, but it does happen. I'm sure those with more information will be able to give you more information on this. For now...I'm very happy for you that you are POST treatment!!
2011699 tn?1328933353 A serious potential side effect of Hep C treatment is depression. People who suffer depression while taking treatment, people who have thoughts of suicide or self-harm or people with a family history of depression should be encouraged to access support and counseling. Anyone with a history of depression should be monitored throughout their treatment to make sure that treatment is not causing a major depressive episode.
Avatar n tn however I was fortunate enough to have a psychiatrist on my treatment team that specializes in treating those with chronic illnesses and particularly those wiith Hep C and he felt the mental impact of the treatment drugs were more from the interferon than the ribavirin. Regardless, the drugs are most definitely mood altering. While everyone seems to experience that, it is NOT common that people on Hep C treatment become physically abusive and suicidal.
Avatar m tn For anyone with clinical depression they need to have their depression managed before starting any interferon based treatment, as interferon is known to exacerbate depression in individuals with a history of depression. It can also cause depression in those who have never had a history of depression. PEGASYS (peginterferon alfa-2a) label "Life-threatening neuropsychiatric reactions may manifest in patients receiving therapy with PEGASYS.
Avatar m tn I finished my second round of TX about 7 weeks ago and most side effects have gotten much better. Depression and brain fog have not. First TX in 08 everything improved very quickly. Has anyone else had this problem. Hope this is not a stupid question to ask.
Avatar n tn LSD and MDMA (Ecstasy) are drugs that deplete neurotransmitters and cause depression and psychosis. Many people are hospitalized each year in psychiatric units because of taking these drugs. Sometimes the damage is long term and causes permanent mental health isssues. Hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I am researching safe depression medication to take when I go on the treatment for hepatitis C. I am on Wellbutrin now and I am finding myself crying now and I have not even started treatment because I already suffer from depression but not badly (normally). Life will change now as I do not know how I will respond to the effects. I would love some input on what effects others are having with the treatment and I am really happy to have found this site to have people to talk to.
Avatar f tn Please see a Psychiatrist about your Depression. Interferon can cause Depression. Depression can be treated with antidepressants. If you cannot get in to see a Psychiatrist soon, talk with your PCP and see if he/she will prescribe antidepressants for you or get you in to see a Psychiatrist on an urgent basis. Depression may be causing many of your symptoms and, if you can treat the Depression, many of your symptoms may disappear.
Avatar f tn I am just wondering how bad the treatment is going to effect my everyday life I soon start college next semster and I was hoping to attempted the incivek interferon ribavirin drugs do you think I will be able to still be a full time college student while doing the treatment
1323278 tn?1298122488 than the interferons they use for MS, I had terrible side effects; flu-like symptoms, insomnia, depression. I barely made it through the full treatment of four months. I believe that the choice of disease modifying drug is dependent on the sub-type of MS you are dx'd with.
Avatar f tn these meds can make a huge difference in peoples lives and for many will help them get through treatment since the tx drugs can cause depression.
1365508 tn?1277931459 t see life is worth living. Everything is upside down for me. I have been fighting with my depression with so many different drugs, but nothing seems working well. Wellbutrin, Alphazolam, Cymbalta, Xanax, Valium, etc...I try all of them and nothing helps. What can I do to get out of depression? It hurts me a lot and I might do something to hurt myself. I am seeking therapist treatment, but I don't think it will help me much. Please help me or show me of how to cope with depresstion.
