Avatar m tn Hello, I am taking a very low dose of nefazodone because I'm prone to having serious side effects from most meds, especially anti-depressants. When I increased to 75 mg and then 100 mg, I started to have horrible acid reflux. I'm currently taking Dexilant in combination with Carafate and, as needed Zantac, to try to control the reflux. I'm still experiencing serious discomfort until several hours after taking nefazodone.
Avatar f tn I might have a solution for you after examining the pharmacology of Nefazodone. To get about the same result you had with Nefazodone with no weight gain I would recommend sertraline (Zoloft) combined with Wellbutrin XL. To get a significant antagonizing effect to your 5-HT2 receptors you would need mirtazapine but it is related with weight gain so I would try the Zoloft with Wellbutrin XL which will basically in a SNDRI like Nefazodone and see how it goes.
366811 tn?1217422672 You may be aware that an extensive drug database is now online at Medhelp. You get to it simply by typing the name of the drug in the search box. Among the results, you'll see articles and information about the drug. Medhelp, however, thinks that might not be enough, because so many people continue to ask on the forums for info already in the database.
Avatar n tn General side effects are mostly present during the first 1-4 weeks while the body adapts to the drug. I am unable to find any evidence of weight gain anywhere in published information about Paxil. Just eating right and exercising should keep you fit.
574042 tn?1217656418 I have discovered two large suits against the makers of the drug. The first was basically for monopolizing the drug ingredients (formula). The court found the drug company guilty and there was a payout in a class action suit. However there is/was another class action suit regarding suicide in young adults 18 to 25. See below.
Avatar f tn I have only been diagnosed since an anaesthetist gave me the wrong drug during an operation when my heart rate dropped too low and this subsequently caused fibrilation and cardiac arrest. I was lucky they persisted with CPR for 20 Minutes before they got a pulse apparently they were just about to stop.
Avatar m tn I've had chronic, severe nausea for the past year and I can't take it anymore. I get nauseated after everything I eat. It doesn't matter what. I can't even have breakfast anymore (I went from eating solids to drinking liquids, and now I can't eat anything at all). Sometimes I feel like I'm not even hungry, and other times I feel horribly hungry. I can only have small meals now and I can't have dairy or bread.
Avatar n tn All 3 meds mentioned are class C drugs, which means none have been tested on pregnant women, but have shown to cause defomities or problems in laboratory animals. I would strongly think twice about getting pregnant while being on all of these meds. Ask yourself if the benefits out weigh the risks.
Avatar f tn t working as well for me anymore, and I wanted to try to switch my meds anyway to improve my sex life. Well, after a rollercoaster of a year where I tried Wellbutrin first, then Nefazodone, then falling into a very deep depression I realized that I really do need to be on Zoloft. The other pills didn't really help my drive, but they did make sex more pleasurable and had quicker/easier orgasms. Now that I am going back, I am devastated to be losing that part of my life again.
Avatar n tn He is behind his peers. He is also the youngest in his class. Prior teachers have mentioned his short attention span. He has no behavior problems. I have spent 3 entire days researching so I am fully prepared for his doctor appointment next week. I want to rule out any other causes for his attention. If he is diagnosed with ADD, I want to try everything before drugs.
Avatar f tn What are the odds of those of us that are suffering from from tooth decay and paying outrageously for doctors appointments, prescriptions, and now dentists and dental bills, what do we need or have to do to begin a class action lawsuit? Four members of my family have been on subutex for about 6 years some for general pain and some for addiction and we all have the same issues with decaying teeth and such. Our doctor has no means of tapering us off but we all have started ourselves.
Avatar f tn Anyway, there are lots of options - ranging from a number of medications that have been well studied such as nefazodone, mirtazapine, and the tricyclic antidepressants, to supplements that seem to be effective (although probably somewhat less so) such as hypericum and s-adenosyl methionine. Finally there are a number of medications that are not routinely prescribed for depression that might be of use, and that list is a bit long to put here. In any event, the answer is yes.
Avatar f tn With my first bb i never took a birthing class n i was gonna do it without the epadural too but the pain was so unbearable to where i had to get it!
408795 tn?1324935675 ), what typically happens is they get out on parole, fail the terms of parole (as drug tested during parole), serve out entire sentence, then go straight back to drug use. Unless prisioners are drug tested and can prove they are clean, I don't see the point in treatment, the odds of reinfection are just too high IMO.
424839 tn?1268186246 So when going up against some one with a drug habit you have to remember that it is a learned behavior to take the drug along with the intense desire to take the drug.
Avatar f tn At the time I was taking Nefazodone and recently weaned off of that. I was on 50 mg Z for 3 weeks and was bumped up to 75 mg one week ago. My anxiety has been bad so I am taking klonopin for that. I'm not doing well emotionally and thought the zoloft would work by now since it's been a full month. I also have no desire to even try sexual activity because I know it's not going to be good with the zoloft. My doctor suggested adding 150 mg Wellbutrin.
Avatar f tn t find them particulaly helpful. My class just covered what I had already read in the 1 pregnancy book I bought so I talked to the instructor and stopped going.
Avatar f tn ve posted a lot about this stuff, and I feel for you. Drugs are a mess. I wish we could tell you which drug was best, but there isn't a best -- the best one is the one that works the best for you and since we are all different, what works for us or doesn't doesn't apply to you.
Avatar n tn These 2 medications are in the class of amphetamines and serotonin modulators which can result in serotonin syndrome. It's a good idea to discuss any drug combinations with your doctor.
992828 tn?1251293832 Almost no drug is a "Class A" drug. Most of the safe ones are class B so you are fine. Now , Class C? You should stop. If the doc says its fine then its fine!
Avatar f tn They might be in the same class, but there is a huge difference between a percription drug and an illegal drug. No illegal drug should be used near a child, in or out of the womb.
