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.
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 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.

1432927 tn?1283546704 There are many choices for anxiety and it takes trial and error to get the right combo. I suggest Nefazodone (Serzone) in a light dose at first, ramp to 150mg BID, Serzone doesn't have any any of the side effects of Paxil. There are known liver side effects for Serzone though and must be carefully considered with current liver function + follow liver functions while on it.
438514 tn?1305734140 That's pretty standard of the FDA, they do this all the time (in other words, it's not earth shattering). Law requires any claims at cures (or more precisely 'treatment') be backed up by clinical trials, FDA clinical trials to be precise. That is why nobody can say any drug, supplement, etc, is a treatment or cure without first completing a multi-million dollar FDA clinical trial that will last for 10 to 20 years.
29837 tn?1414534648 Today I got not one but two calls from the FDA, so apparently my persistence is paying off. They are going to do whatever the pharmaceutical companies suggest, especially since there are no other alternative drugs except Interferon and Ribavirin. My contact at Vertex, who I just spoke to, is going to look once more into the IND application (Compassionate Use), and see if there's been any changes in their (Vertex) policy for allowing it.
Avatar m tn Daily visits to selected websites, subscriptions to selected scientific and medical podcast as well as my monthly magazines such as Nature, Scientific American, Physics Today, Science Magazine and Science Readers. respirate just convinced me to add the FDA website into my dailies. What is good with technology these days is that you can be very selective regarding the kind of information you want to get and newspapers make me angry for some reasons that are totally personal.
Avatar f tn The interaction has also been reported in patients receiving atorvastatin, lovastatin, or simvastatin with other potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents, macrolide antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors, and nefazodone. Clinically, high levels of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity in plasma may be associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal toxicity.
Avatar m tn Due to the risk of life-threatening and fatal toxicity, patients with renal or hepatic impairment should not be given colchicine in combination with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole, nefazodone, delavirdine, protease inhibitors, and ketolide and certain macrolide antibiotics. In patients with normal renal and hepatic function, the dosage of colchicine should be reduced when used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or within 14 days of using them.
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 f tn Yes been struggling bigtime. Doc was going to give me my pill of choice.
356929 tn?1246389756 I don't know if I can forward this link but evidently there is a fda warning re: possible salmonella in raw tomatoes. I'll try to copy and paste link, but if it doesn't work, go to the FDA website. I know that some of my friends having chemo had to be very careful when eating raw fruits or vegetables. Just thought I'd pass it along. I heard this on CNN as well. It's not a hoax...http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2008/NEW01848.

757137 tn?1347196453 The FDA has issued a stern warning concerning the use of Advair. Not only can it worsen asthma, but the side effects can be fatal. Other forms of treatment should be sought and, if the product is used at all, it should be for short periods of time. Advair affected my adrenals, harmed my eyes, and worsened my asthma. It caused such serious choking that I feared it would kill me. I stopped taking it last August and am doing fine on natural anti-inflammatories.
