hey docs. i was treated recently for ngu and a testi infection. 750 mg of levaquen for 28 days. but this is what i read. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline (ZOLOFT), widely prescribed for depression, has been associated with a decrease in the effect of levothyroxine. i take zolaft 100 mg daily. i still have testi pain and burning. i am now bieng treated with diflucan for 7 days for a yeast infection. should i be worried. do u think my ngu was wiped out.
My mother was dx in the late 90's with hypothyroid and was prescribed levothyroxine. Her TSH tests were always steady between 3.0 and 4.0. She weighs only 80 lbs, is 67 years old and has severe rheumatoid arthritis since age 28 with both knee's and hip's replaced, bronchiectasis, and pulmonary fibrosis. She began to experience depression and was dx with reactive depression in January 2009 and started a low dose of Welbutrin. By June 2009 she experienced severe anxiety. Dr.
After a week or so, he began exhibiting symptoms of mania, delusional thinking, and paranoia. He saw the doctor who had prescribed the Levothyroxine, and told him how he was feeling. the doctor sent him to the emergency room. That night, he entered a psych hospital and has been there for 6 days.
Doctors say he has had a manic episode, and are leaning towards diagnosing him with bipolar. They're trying a couple anti-psychotic meds and plan to release him in six days.
Are these two drugs compatable levothyroxine and sertraline hcl? Does your thyroid control your blood sugar?
t feel well on Zoloft and wanted to go back down). I tried the Xanax with the Zoloft and found it numbing. I am not interested in taking Xanax. Everything is GREAT is my personal life and job!!!!! I want to be healthy and well. I am imprisoned by these imposing symptoms. Can I get off Zoloft? What do you think is a good tapering method?
I see my MD this month and am trying to make a good decision. I hope to see a response. Thank you for your time.
Thank you!
This is my complete meds and diagnosis .... zoloft 50mg anxiety, levothyroxine .25mcg hypothyroidism, and metformin 1500mg pcos. Zoloft works 85% of the time. I just don't feel like my anxiety is mental . I feel like it only comes during hormonal changes. Like the first time I remember having one I was on BC for first time. Then I had them off and on and I stopped BC and got pregnant, lost the baby and immediately got pregnant again.
re feeling and how often and how bad it is and show your doctor. Either way, it could possibly be from low T3 levels, next time you go for a blood test ask if they could check your T3 just to be sure. Most T4 only meds (levothyroxine, eltroxin, thyroxine, etc) don't fix T3 problems.
What medication are your prescribed?
Another good one is Tirosint, which is a gelcap and contains only glycerine, water, Levothyroxine and gelatin. Tirosint tends to be the most expensive, but the manufacturer has programs for those who qualify.
Is TSH the only thyroid related blood test that's being performed regularly? What about Free T4 and Free T3? Those are the actual thyroid hormones.
I have been having really bad anxiety on and off. The Dr. gave me Zoloft and it seems to have helped with my anxiety. But as it is I have a very hard time getting restful sleep. When I do sleep I have ongoing dreams and my mind doesn't get any rest. Now with the Zoloft my sleep is much less restful. Any suggestions?
I had been on Zoloft for the past 5 months and before that Paxil (the lowest dosages for both). When I found out I was pregnant I stopped taking Zoloft but the depression and anxiety has returned. I would like to go back on Zoloft but am concerned if, because I quit "cold turkey", it's okay to do so. Should I ease back into it, or can I continue to take it as I had been? I've tried contacting my doctor but have not received a response.
You have to take the control back...stop reading, stop searching about SSRIs and Zoloft and brain damage. The one Zoloft pill did NOT cause any damage. In my humble opinion, you are dealing with severe anxiety, and you need to formulate a treatment plan. As of right now, I doubt you could tolerate another med, as you are still connecting everything to the Zoloft. Therefore, you will likely have another anxiety-induced reaction to another med.
I have been on Zoloft 50 mg and Clonazepan 0.5mg for years and never had a problem. About 3 months ago I decided to decrease my dose of Zoloft to 25mg as I was feeling wonderful and my husband likes to have a couple of drinks and was on my case about having a drink or two with him. So I decided to decrease my meds. I completely stopped taking the Zoloft - cold turkey. And decreased my clonazepan by 1/2.
He then prescribed Zoloft (50mg) once a day along with the 2 doses(1mg)ea of Lorazepam untill the Zoloft takes effect. The problem is I still feel like crap just about all day. Dizzy, sour stomach, a lttle shaky, weak feeling. I've been on the Zoloft for about a week now. It's hard, but, should I give the Zoloft time to work? Could I try using less or more Lorazepam? I really want to get off the Lorazepam. My doctor blames it on my upcoming retirement.
I been diagnostic with low thyroid for the past 10 years, on and off I been taking levothyroxine 112 mg a day and My regular doctor has never pay any attention to my complains of not feeling good. So I decided to get checked by other doctor. On May I had something really bad inside of my head I thought that I was loosing my mind, I was so depressed and had stared to experience anxiety attacks,severe head aches,loosing weight and no appetite what so ever.
