Avatar m tn What should or could happen to someone who is taking Abilify 5mg 1X a day, Zoloft 50mg 1X a day, Gabapentin 200mg 3X a day.
Avatar n tn With Zoloft and BuSpar the interaction is a pharmacodynamic type interaction. There is an additive effect. Both increase serotonin levels. Contraindicated unless benefits outweigh risks and no alternatives available. It is all relative to the dose you are taking, careful dosage adjustments should be done if you intend to take both drugs.
Avatar f tn I take my zoloft and ativan in morning as it me jittery and causes insomnia. I have seasonal allergies and was wondering the best OTC antihistamine would work better. Allegra, Zyrtec or loratadine. I was on 12.5 zoloft for 2 weeks and tapering up to 25 mg (split another 12.5 in half so 3/4 a pill then one whole 25 mg. I have to do this slowly as I am super sensitive to meds. Thanks for any help. Plus I eventually need to taper down my ativan when I level on the zoloft.
Avatar n tn I was actually advised not to eat grapefruit while on Zoloft. As Sharejew said, it does interact with SSRIs like Zoloft. In fact, depending on what pharmacy I used to get refills, there would be stickers on the medication bottle stating not to consume any grapefruit products....furthermore, both my pharmacist and doctor told me to stay away from grapefruit. I am not really sure why your pharmacist gave you the advice he/she did...keep us posted.
Avatar n tn His actions sound like he was over dosed (unless, there was an interaction between other meds he was taking). Ritalin should take effect in 15 to 20 minutes and last no longer then 4 hours. When was the anger occurring? If his anger started halfway through the 4 hour period, or came after 4 hours - then something else was going on. His doctor should have started him out on the lowest possible dose (5mgs) and slowly raised the amount based on your feedback.
Avatar f tn My five year old son was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, ODD and Anxiety last year after he was BAKER ACTED for saying he wanted to kill himself. They started and currently have him taking Zoloft 25mg and Metadate 10mg, they are not working. When he takes the two together whether at the same time or at separate hours he is worse off then when we started. It seems like they counter act each other.
Avatar f tn I was reciently prescribed ritalin for adhd, it has really made an amazing difference. I have gotten a job and am doing well and before I could only last a few days, I'm also thinking about taking some classes which I don't think I could have done before. Anyway I have mitral valve prolapse, I have had a few panic attacks over the years but never had a major problem with it.
Avatar f tn I have recently been put on Zoloft and was informed that taking both at the same time could cause stomach bleeding, but my doctor said she would put me on the Zoloft anyway. Is this safe? I normally do not take the naproxen every day but there are times I do take it daily for a week or two when my back is especially inflamed. I would like to continue taking both medications if possible. Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn You are correct about there the MAJOR drug interaction between tramadol and sertraline (Zoloft). Please note that there are several moderate drug interactions with your medications, for example, sertraline (Zoloft), pregabalin (Lyrica), clonidine, and methocarbamol (Robaxin) all can increase side effects such dizziness, drowsiness, and impaired thinking and judgment when taken together. It would be a good idea to review your medication regimen with your provider and pharmacist.

Avatar m tn Are there any studies with substituting Tryosine or SAMe while trying to get off of zoloft? I cannot cold turkey the zoloft without withdrawel effects. Would I have to gradually add these and take simultaneously with Zoloft? Is it safe to take one or both of these with zoloft? If so, what dosage? Also, is it safe to take zoloft while taking natural harmones ( cream)?
Avatar m tn I take Methadone 80mg a day once in the morning, and have been prescribed to psychiatric medication for a long period of time. These consist of Abilify and at one time Zoloft I kept on having very strong panic attacks followed immediately by loss of breath like asthma but to the point of hyperventilating . This concerned me I discontinued Zoloft and kept taking abilify but still experience the same problem what do I do help!!!
Avatar n tn Klonopin and Ativan are similar meds in that they are both benzodiazepines. After doing a quick look, Zoloft is not listed as an interaction with Klonopin, so you may ask your Doc about trying a different anxiety med to avoid an interaction with your Zoloft, or switch the Zoloft to something that works with the Ativan if the Ativan works well for your Anxiety. Like I said above, I would start by trying to find a new Doctor, though. I hope this helps somewhat, sorry for being so long winded.
Avatar n tn I AM TAKING ZOLOFT, BUSPAR AND TRAZADONE ALL TOGETHER IS THIS A GOOD COMBINATION?
Avatar f tn My six year old son started taking a pretty low dose of Ritalin - he's doing great, except he seems to become "whiney" for lack of a better term.. he is much more emotional and prone to tears. Does this sound normal? He's been on the medication for about 5 weeks.
Avatar f tn Have been on Zoloft 25mg for 3 weeks new doc wants to put me on abilify 2mg with the Zoloft to see if it makes it work better. What sort of side effects does this cause and is it helpful?
1501613 tn?1289319749 I have been on Zoloft for 3 years. My doctor Rx paxil because of heart palpultations. Is it safe to take both? I take the Zoloft during the day and Paxil at night because I noticed it helps me sleep.
Avatar m tn Another possibility can be drug drug interaction between the zoloft. One such interaction is seen between one of the H2 antagonist (cimetidine) with zoloft (but not well known with other anti histaminics). It increases the concentration of zoloft and causes serotonin syndrome which can manifest as sweating, tremors etc. I would advice you to consult allergy specialist to discuss about this alternatives. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced breathing problems with Zoloft. Youknow, the "I can't quite catch my breath" feeling. And if you yawn you finally get enough air. My heart and lungs have checked out fine. Other than that , I feel much better for since being on it for 2weeks. Also, any thoughts on the sucess of other meds besides zoloft? Prozac? Lexapro?
Avatar n tn First question: If you're HYPERthyroid, why are you on Cytomel?
Avatar n tn I also fear drugs because I was incorrectly put on Zoloft as a teenager for depression when in fact it was PCOS, and it put giant gaps in my memory while on it. I have heard that Adderall helps, but that it will turn you into a zombie, and my line of work requires thinking outside the box and being quick on your feet. Who should I talk to for help?
