Nefazodone ocd

Common Questions and Answers about Nefazodone ocd

serzone

Avatar f tn These medications are also used to treat Trichotillomania and OCD and include clomipramine, fluoxetine (prozac), sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, nefazodone and venlafaxine. These new generation antidepressants - the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - are really safe. I'm on them myself. You can also try some behaviour therapy like habit reversal training and with Exposure and Response Prevention which some nail biters find helpful. Hope that helps!
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.
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.
Avatar f tn Hi there. Everybody's OCD is different and I have to say that this is not something that I do however my sister did it for years. You and your friend need some psychological intervention. I know it is great to have somebody to talk to and who completely understands where you are coming from but the reality is this is a disorder that can be treated and there is no reason why you and your friend should be burdened with this hand washing problem. Look at it as a bonus this way...

10409592 tn?1412596374 m wondering if this started from some sort of stress event in your life because that is usually when my OCD starts to act up. Have you ever seen a pscyhologist for what you describe as your OCD tendencies?
Avatar n tn My eleven year old son was diagnosed with OCD about 2 months ago. I am going crazy. He is on prozac (very little amount). He has to go next week to check the medication. He goes every week for therapy. The guidance counselor and the psychologist at school work with him. He does very well at school finally but when he gets home he follow me around CONSTANTLY asking me about anything and everything if he's okay.
1665434 tn?1365238898 i have had ocd now for 5 years i been on sertraline for about that time but last year all my unwanted throughts went away it was great for a year i stop taking my sertraline and then it came back i been back on the sertraline now for over 6months and i think it makes me worst i feels tension. jumpy.down and my unwanted throughts are as bad as ever.
Avatar m tn I have severe OCD and I'm very poor. I have constant panic attacks and I'm worried that the stress could lead to severe medical conditions. On top of that I'm tired of constantly being on the edge of panic. I can barely eat because my food always seems tainted. Plus the tics I have from tourettes, I'm in severe need of help, but can't afford it, nor do I know where to look (for example, do I need a therapist, councilor, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.
Avatar n tn even i have a same problem of OCD from the age of 11 till now... i am 24 years old.. this leads me to that end point that i think there is nothing then death which can stop me...... (but strange i am still alive) i am scared of death and cancer....... i get reapeated thoughts like if dont touch a pen till i am releived then i will loss some one who is a part of my life... or i feel then will cancer or some times that i will get cancer..
