Avatar f tn good replies from above, but here is something you may not want to hear!!! STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL PERIOD. I believe if anyone is really sick, Alcohol is the last resort! So if you are as bad as you say, NO med and NO therapy will help until YOU STOP DRINKING FIRST PERIOD. ENOUGH SAID!
Avatar m tn I forgot to ask my Doctor and now he is on holiday, I need to know what to do. I used to drink with 20mg fluoxetine without any problems, now I want to know why do they tell us to not drink with antidepression meds is it because we may get ourselves to develop worse mental illnesses and have hallucination? or is it because we may only not be able to focus, to drive etc... Or is it because the med wont function in our system anymore?

897400 tn?1303329148 Like the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and in contrast with most tricyclic antidepressant agents, tianeptine does not appear to be associated with adverse cognitive, psychomotor, sleep, cardiovascular or bodyweight effects and has a low propensity for abuse. Tianeptine has a comparatively favourable pharmacokinetic profile. It is not subject to first-pass hepatic metabolism, has high bioavailability and limited distribution, and is rapidly eliminated.
Avatar m tn I am taking fluoxetine 40 mg and Bupropion 300 extended release. I started a new job about a month ago and have been going full steam ahead. I have had 4 days off and have woke up anxious the last three of them as well as feeling a little depressed. Doc seems to think I was keeping my mind very busy and now I have time to think I am crashing. Anyway it got me thinking about my meds. The Fluoxetine has put about 5 kilos on me.I really don't like this.

Avatar m tn My brother went to a psychiatrist and he prescribed him fluoxetine and xanax. He said that my brother should take one 20mg tablet of fluoxetine for the morning and 0.5 tablet for xanax for morning and night for 14 days . He said to take the 0.5 mg xanax tablet half in morning and the other half at night So, my brother took the fluoxetine and xanax for 14 days and then again went to the psychiatrist. My brother has not felt any improvement for his ocd or depression from the tablets.
Avatar m tn Has this always happened when you take this medication? Have you changed your diet? I know when I was drinking a lot of soda or carbonated beverages(especially if I took the meds with it), I could taste anything that was put into my stomach recently.
Avatar m tn Is there a possibility that lamictal may help? Anyone with experience on this? Should I up the fluoxetine, up the bupropion, switch bupropion for lamictal , add lamictal, up bupropion? Thoughts?

Avatar f tn I've had depression for some time and was prescribed fluoxetine a few months ago. In the second and third week of taking it I experienced what I can only describe as mild euphoria and a sort of agitation- not being able to sleep, restlessness and the shakes- which was not unpleasant because of the euphoric feeling that accompanied it.

Avatar f tn m posting this here as well as in the anxiety forums, in the hope that someone may answer. I am taking Fluoxetine 20mg for anxiety and depression, and have been taking it for just over a week. How long before I begin to see any benefits? Also, two more questions - they may seem trivial, but they are bothering me - is it safe to break open the Fluoxetine capsules, as I can not swallow them? Also I am taking 5mg Diazepam - is that safe?
Avatar n tn m wondering what antibiotics are available to me with my previous allergies to Fluoxetine Hcl, Diphenhydramine Hcl, Doxycycline, Venlafaxine Hydrochloride, Fluoxetine, Azithromycin and Amoxicillin-Pot Clavulanate.
Avatar f tn I'm not a doctor but this is my take on it. Inositol is a vitamin and the way it helps is thought to be by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Your fluoxetine is an SSRI so it is affecting Serotonin. The last thing I would want to see is you going through serotonin syndrome, i.e., too much serotonin. So before you start this I think you should just check it out with your doctor first. It could be that an increase in your fluoxetine may help with the skin picking.
20003388 tn?1515166040 In my research I also see that taking it with anything that inhibits liver enzyme CYP2D6 (which both Fluoxetine and Duloxetine do) can cause the levels of the medication to build up in the body essentially behaving like you have taken more than you have. My question is, would it be safe to add a very tiny dose, say, 3 mg as a sleep aid to my medications. If it builds up enough to mimic say 6 mg or 10 mg that wouldn't be too bad.

Avatar n tn Ive been to the doctors and they put me on Fluoxetine tablets. One a day until they tell me to stop. However I've had two so far but want to stop. I know you have to slowly come off of them but if I've only had two can I just stop? Please help!

Avatar f tn Hi Shanna. Thank you for your reply - that is reassuring. I had read about the side effects of increased anxiety, but it helps so much to know that I am not the only one. Initially, the panic of the increased anxiety sets everything off gain, and after the first week I really thought that things were just getting worse - however, I will certainly continue to give it a try and hope that in another week or so the anxiety will lessen.
