I think thats why my doctor try the zoloft again because i am thinking i am itching and i am not really having reaction to the medicine but he said you do have sentitvie to medicine that why he had a backup medcine for me. my question is anybody taking Zoloft 25mm or Citalopram 20mm before and any side effects from these medicine? also any tips on controling my anxiety and depression ?
The R-enantiomer present in citalopram counteracts the activity of the S-enantiomer, thereby providing a possible basis for the pharmacological and clinical differences observed between citalopram and escitalopram.
I tried Celexa for a few months and noticed no difference in my mood/anxiety and did not experience any side effects. But, everyone is different. Almost EVERY medication lists all those side effects, because well everyone reacts differently. In my opinion start out with a smaller dose to see if it bothers you and if it doesnt after a few days you could increase it to the prescribed dose.
The symptoms I am experiencing on setraline/zoloft. Irregular pulse, fast pulse and slow pulse are on the serious side effect list. I am going for a heart monitor tomorrow.
I am almost 100 percent sure that the antidepressants are causing my symptoms.
Will these symptoms subside as often the minor ones do?
I am loathe to stop them as no weight gain and ive tried so many my doctor is running out of options.
I had been on citalopram which work great 4my anxiety and deppresion.im nw pregnant.1st i got told to stop cold turkey with the citalopram which i did but i start getting extreme anxiety after afew weeks.and dr put me on prozac which is ment to be less risky during pregnancy.ive been on it 4 2weeks now.ive seen no improvement and im scared it will harm baby.i have constant physical anxiety all day my heart races and my chest has this horrible feeling of dread.help! What can i do to ease this?
I doubt that the Citalopram is even working for you after 3 years. Muscle twitches are not a side effect of this medication, so you should consult with your doctor regarding this new symptom. You also want to wean off the Citalopram via your doctor's instructions. I'm happy to hear that therapy is helping you and wish you continued success with it.
you can always stick to a SSRI and try Zoloft, it is a bit different than citalopram by improving connection between both temporal lobes. Another solution regarding medication would be to try Wellbutrin. Dopamine is highly linked with pleasure sensation therefore I find it to be very effective in depressed people with lethargy. You can also try a tetracyclic that will antagonize the main receptors for serotonin (5-HTs). Such tetracyclic is mirtazapine.
whats the difference between xanax and ativan? Drs. refuse to give me xanax because they say its addicting. But the ativan only helps if i take it b4 ed as prescribed. I still have panic attacks during the day. The xanax was most helpful. But then i dnt want to get addicted to them. my panic attacks are bad. i feel like my head is going to erupt, explode. i feel like i'm going to get n a car wreck. i always feel like im goin ti die n the most horrible way.
Hi
I switched from Fluoxetine to Citalopram about 6 months ago as the Fluoxetine was making me gain weight. Since I've been on Citalopram I've put on even more, and am now about 2 stone (14kg) heavier than I was before I started.
I don't want to come off ADs as they're helping me so much, but at the same time I don't know if I can cope with any more weight gain.
Has anyone experienced weight gain with certain antidepressants then been able to lose with a different one?
Hi, I'm 62, was diagnosed bi-polar in 1986 and put on Lithium but not monitored properly so came off it after being sacked. Started again in 1990 and was also put on Citalopram at that time. Have been on both ever since and have been up and down like a yoyo, In 199I 8 I was diagnosed HIV positive, fired again. Put on meds, got lypodysrophy but thatit's a bit better now. Recently left husband, got fired (again), moved country so was pretty shattered and scattered, and angry.
I'm a 24 year old grad student. When I was 16, I was diagnosed with depression and, after some trial and error with different meds/dosages, have been functioning really well on 150mg/daily of Zoloft. Sometime last October (possibly September, I don't really remember), I asked my doc to switch me to something else to curb the Zoloft side effects that I couldn't deal with anymore.
) Not true, of course, but it is scary to watch a parent/spouse go from easy going and happy to anxious/depressed/irritable/angry in just a few days. So far, this time around, the Citalopram seems to be helping the anxiety and depression and neither our children or I are seeing the scary irritability and other stuff that we saw with the first two treatments.
Recently was prescribed Pamelor for depression; was on Citalopram for half a year and I just got worse, sleeping a lot and doing nothing.
Dr advised me to take the mediation at bedtime. He did not say taper off the previous Rx, just start the new one. I have not started, as I have been on antidepressants for decades and wanted to see the difference without meds. I have abit more energy, but cry easily.
I want to understand what Pamelor will do for me...
I was just prescribed Zolft for anxiety and my doctor started me on the low dose of 50mg but said I could start off with 25mg the first few days to hopefully lessen side effects because he had originally prescribed me Citalopram but after the first dose the side effects were so bad I could barely function. Anyway, I took my first dose of Zoloft last night after dinner and aside from feeling a little queasy and fuzzy in the head it wasn't too bad but then I had a horrible night.
