Avatar n tn Ahh Pristiq, The new SSNRI. Actualy just a slight tweek on Effexor XR. Interesting fact about Pristiq..... Wyeth's newest Antidepressant medication Pristiq, is actually kind of a sister drug of Effexor XR. In fact in terms of the active ingrediants molecular structure they are about 98% the same. You know why the Drug Company Wyeth would produce a drug so much like Effexor XR?
Avatar n tn I have been taking Effexor XR 37.5 mg for about 6 weeks now. I had a regular period a week after first starting this med. Now I'm 5 days late and I don't think I could be pregnant, but will be testing to be sure. Can this drug have an affect on my cycle?
429925 tn?1203905115 I have taken Effexor XR for about 7 years at 450 mg per day. Now I read that is too much; I want to quit. My blood pressure is often quite low, my pulse hangs at about 48. What on earth can I do? How can I quit. My doctor told me just to go back to 450 mg as that is where I was "feeling good." I just tried to drop to 300. I went down slowly, going down 37.5 mg per week. Can I ever stop taking this stuff. Was it right for the doctor to put me on 450 mg? I feel so bad.
Avatar n tn When a patient tapers off this drug how does that work since the lowest dosage seems to be .5 mg? For a slow taper would a doctor use immediate release xanax? Is there an axample of a a schedule for taper say for a patient taking 1MG for 8 weeks?
Avatar n tn However, since the accidental discovery of an interaction between the calcium channel blocker, felodipine, with grapefruit juice,1 it has now become evident that grapefruit juice has the potential to alter the plasma concentrations of many medications when they are taken by mouth. In some cases, this may result in undesirable clinical effects of medications.

My problem is I am Bipolar and although I am on mood stabilizers. with the addition of Celexa, I am having moods swings. Antidepressants are notorious for causing mania if you are Bipolar...but, my depression is better than it was a month ago.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 5 years ago. My care is currently through my Family Doctor. My last two HA1C tests were 7.2 and 7.4, and creatinine was 1.1. I am taking Metformin XR, 1 gm twice a day, total of 2 grams (four 500 mg tablets). I take 1 gram in the morning and 1 at night. My blood sugars tend to run high in the morning and decrease during the day. I have no specific instructions whether to take at meals, with water, etc. Would it likely make any difference to take 1.
Avatar n tn has me taking my wellbutrin 150 mg once every 3 days and had me take 1 37.5 mg of the effexor for 5 days and no more effexor just wellbutrin. I am feeling tired, nausea and headaches I asume due to no effexor. Should I have been prescribed the effexor diffrently?
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate you responding. Well the Dr. thought of going with the Seroquel xr first. I am on 150 mg at night and he wants me to switch to Trazadone 75-150 mg. I know I can't split the seroquel xr since it's extended. He also wanted me to taper my Xanax 1 mg 4 x's a day to Kolonopin 1 mg 3 x's a day. Any suggestions.. I appreciate it again. Thanks.
Avatar m tn In 19 study subjects, administration of a single 5 mg dose of amlodipine during treatment with telaprevir (750 mg every 8 hours for 7 days) increased the amlodipine peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by an average of 27% and 179%, respectively, compared to administration alone. No data are available for boceprevir; however, a similar interaction is expected.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone: I would appreciate any advice on how to get off xanax. I am taking 150mg of Zoloft, 2mg twice a day of alprazolam XR and 2 or 3 1mg xanax during the day. I am trying to eliminate the 1 mg xanax during the day (I was taking 5 1mg in addition to the alprazolam XR. I've gotten it down to 3 1mg and feel OK, but if I take less than that, I battle with severe anxiety all day. Thanks so much.
397906 tn?1208241269 i have been taking xanax xr for 6 months now. originally i started of 2 mg daily, but after a few months i started to feel better so i gradually lowered my dose to .5mg and have been on this dose for 3 months now.Is it possible that xanax xr can cause PVCs?, i seen in your earlier posts that you say xanax xr builds up rapid tolerance?well i am concerned because of these skipped heart sensations that i have been getting, i also have mitral valve prolapse since i was 16(now 22).
Avatar n tn I have been on Effexor XR 150 mg for 4 years and due to the cost and effect on my libido, I have started withdrawal, first tapered to 75 mg for 30 days, now on 37.5 for 15 days, then everyother day, and to continue till I'm done. Well in talking to my pharmacist she said she has seen violent reactions when people stop suddenly. My mood swings are terrible and I'm suprised my husband hasn't locked me up. I get angry, moody, incredibally sad.
Avatar f tn You may be decreasing your Xanax dose too quickly if you've gone from taking your 1 mg dose to only taking the Xanax XR in one week. Discuss a tapering schedule with your physician. Or you can try taking the 1 mg twice a day for 1 week (while still taking the Xanax XR). If well tolerated, decrease to 1 mg once daily the next week, then 1 mg every other day the week after.
1365078 tn?1284494484 I was tested (fasting blood) for thyroid, RI, fibromygalia, mono, diabetes, etc. Possible Edema, cushings or thyroid - please help me to talk to my DR - I don't know what all of this means as it looks to be in the normal ranges. I had two tests for Thyroid (about 6 weeks apart). I don't know that if along with my symptoms, family history and these results if it is even worth talking to a doctor.
Avatar f tn The half life of Effexor Xr is 5 hours, so if I forgot to take my 150 mg in the morning by 5 pm i was feeling the effects and knew I had missed it that morning. Hard to believe this is a non-additive drug??????
Avatar m tn Why were the medications which include azithromycin 1g OD, doxy 100 mg. for 5-7 days and levofloxacin 500 mg for 10 days failed to cure us? Thanks for all the support. God bless.
Avatar n tn No, I am supposed to take 100 mg zoloft twice a day, for a total of 200 mg. I am supposed to take 150 mg of effexor xr, once a day, for a total of 150mg. I am supposed to take 300 mg gabapentin three times a day, for a total of 900 mg. The gaapentin is to take the place of Zanax, which I took for anxiety and ocd. Zanax is addictive so the doctor is replacing it with this.
Avatar n tn Instead she wanted me to up the dose to 37 mg of the XR instead of the extra 25 mg of quick acting medication. Hope that you have a better outcome with taking one of them in the morning.
Avatar f tn So I went up to 20 mg and now have been on 25 mg since august 2011. The 25 mg is doing good by the benefits and less symptoms I've had but only last 8 hrs. I had side effects with adderall in the beginning but they were not as intense and long term as vyvanse. Right now I don't have any side effects except if I get less than 7 hrs of sleep then I do get tired even on the adderall xr. The side effects went away about a month after I started on the 25mg.
