Sertraline get you high

Common Questions and Answers about Sertraline get you high

zoloft

He should of given you a clear indication of the amount you should take..... if you need to talk to someone before you can reach the doc maybe call the local hospital and ask to speak to one of the doc's there and see what they say. And i think to be honest they will tell you to stop taking this med.

Will this go away or will I just have to get on with it, and will this anxiety go away eventually or is it the sertraline causing it? Any ideas would be great please.

Worse than like the pressure you get when you've got a cold. But everythings unblocked. Any ideas on help? Do I wait it out?

Since we talked about your liver and your intention to do what's best to your liver i will explain why you should drink beer and avoid sugar or high sugar containing alcoholic beverage. When you drink alcohol your liver is like ''oh damn here comes the alcohol, i gotta get rid of this toxic substance!''. Your liver will also say ''damn some sugar! Oh nevermind i gotta get rid of the alcohol first'' so you end up with more toxicity for your liver when adding sugar with alcohol.

he prescribed me Xanax to try out for a month, but he doesn't want me to rely on Xanax just to get me through the first weeks use of Sertraline, because of the risk of addiction and overuse. i discontinued my Sertraline tonight. there is no way i can live a "a few weeks" (a dreadful eternity) with a severe tremor until the medication "kicks in". why should i be asked to suffer after already so much suffering?

I got on 50mg Zoloft generic last May so I was on it for about 10 months because I was slightly depressed w/ major anxiety-(stressors being 2 young hyper kids - whom I love like crazy but my hubby works evenings 5 days out of the week so I'm alone w/ them alot and we have a 6 mnth old puppy, I do not get as much time w/ hubby as i'd like, my job is high stress, very demanding and I have been on Mandatory Overtime for over a year now (about 7 hrs a week) but it was up to 10 extra hrs a week!!!!

said to stop with that for a little bit. My mind is scattered, I am low on energy. My pulse rate seems high at times, I get panic attacks when I am out in public for fear of passing out...I feel like a mess. I do have a followup with my Dr. next week but it is always nice to hear from others when my appts. seem to be so quick. Thanks!

J Many times symptoms appear due to synergistic drug interactions. I think you would be best advised to get one physician to review all the meds/dosages/timing and then try to coordinate what you take for treatment. Off the top of my head since your pulse is very low try taking toprol-xl 2x/day instead of 3x. That might allow your pulse rate to come up a bit, but then your BP might rise. This is self medicating and not a good idea.

This is correct. Grapefruit juice will breakdown some pain medications to fast an can cause you to get too much at one time. You should never take any type of pain medication with grapefruit juice.

I know money issues are bad, but can you get any help from family or friends until you can get back to work? Hope it all works out well for you.

Both books written by American authors, It is so worth getting help as the suicide rate amongst MS patients is high not just when considered against the general population but also when considered against other chronic neurological illnesses so this subject is very close to us all.

As Sara said that's info you need to be getting from a medical professional. l Understand your distress with the amount of time you need to wait between doctors but there isnt anyone here qualified to tell you what safe for you and what isnt ..Another option would be talking to a pharmacist .....

Anyway I know this is long and confusing but it would be great to get some answers. Or if anyone has had these same symptoms please write. Thank you for your time.

The best thing you can do is speak with a doctor about how you are feeling. I get PPD after each baby. But I only have to take meds until I am feeling better. A couple of months of the meds and I am feeling "normal" and then I stop taking them. If you feel you are getting worse, I would def speak with your doctor. Good luck!

I have not yet started with the new psychiatrist prescriptions as I am getting worried. I read Sertraline reacts with Propranolol. It makes Propranolol more toxic and can give me low BP and bradycardia. Recently my BP was a bit high (140/90) and pulse rate was 72. Shall I take the psychiatric medicines and how should I schedule the medications without suffering a lot?

I had a bad fit. Yes your BP is high, but it is really up to you what you do. Propanolol is a beta-blocker to slow heart rate. I found once my anti-depressant (Effexor) kicked in, I did not need the Propanolol. I just took it for a short time. The body may have bad reactions at first, to all this medication, but should adjust with a few weeks. Up to you. Have you discussed your worries with the psychiatrist. Phone and discuss.

Give the meds time to work and make sure to get follow-up blood work to re-check thyroid and cholesterol levels. If you stop the Zoloft at any time, make sure to re-test thyroid levels as they may need adjustment. My sister is on Zoloft and Synthroid. If you have any links, would you mind sending me a message with the links? I'd like to read them to check out the possibility of it being related. Thanks.

In my opinion, I don't see why people suffering with anxiety that is affecting their lives wouldn't be willing to give medication a try. You need to educate yourself about anxiery and how to treat it, and try to remain open minded. If you automatically decide right away that something isn't goiong to work, or it isn't "right", without doing any homework, you're going to set yourself up to fail. You're making assumptions about the med, without any knowledge to back it up.

If it wasn't for my wife and my sons and all of you guys that support me I think I would be in a different place right now.I use to be the ROCK of my Family now I feel like a pebble now,my wife still tells my I'm still the rock of this family but I feel like I'm getting chipped away little by little.I know I have to be STRONG but it's hard some times. I'm afraid that I'm losing my strength.But I'm always been fighter and I will not lose this battle,with everybody's help we will all WIN.(Gary-1.

I was diagnosed as hyperthyroid and with medications I am now clinically euthyroid. But I used to get panic attacks in form of tachycardia and palpitations. I have been taking Propranolol for last 3 months and have tapered it off to 5 mg 2 times a day. Because of the persistent symptoms of panic attacks, my endocrinologist referred me to a psychiatrist. She diagnosed me as having Mixed Anxiety Depression. She prescribed me: 25 mg Sertraline - Once in a day 0.

The pharmacologic effects of theophyllines and beta-blockers are opposite. Nonselective and high doses of cardioselective beta-blockers may cause severe or fatal bronchospasm by opposing theophylline-induced bronchodilation. Ophthalmic beta-blockers undergo significant systemic absorption and may also interact. In addition, propranolol and other beta-blockers may reduce the CYP450 hepatic metabolism of theophylline, and serum theophylline levels may be increased.

Yup..........headaches are high on the list of side effects. When I began taking sertraline, I had headaches almost every day. They weren't horrible, I was still able to function, but they were just there, every day. And then one day they weren't. Even though headaches are also very common with Zoloft, I suggest letting your doctor know. A phone call to his nurse or PA will put your mind at rest..............when it's not aching!

You can also wait for some time and try to relax and improve your healthy sleep habits. I hope you will get better soon. You can get some useful tips to have good sleep by going through this link: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sleep/HQ01387 Keep physically active and do update on the doctor follow up advice. Take care.

If the heart does not contract effectively, the EF will be less than normal (50 to 75%) and that would indicate the percentage of blood pumped with each heartbeat....wall impairment would weaken contractions. You are taking medication for high blood pressure, and that medciations reduces the heart's workload as there is less resistance to pump against. That would help the heart to function more efficiently...not decrease efficiency.

Hi, Understand this is just my personal opinion, I cannot really advise you like the doctor can. I would suggest you stick to the Sertraline. If you feel you may want to come off anti-depressants in the not too distant future, I would not advise Venlafaxine (Effexor). You have probably read all the posts about how difficult it is to come off. When I came off Sertraline there were no side effects, but with Venlafaxine the side effects of coming off it are very difficult.

klonopin is a great med but its a benz and dr's dont like them , yes its a long term med and the good thing is your body does not want more but you do get depent on it but you could stay at dose you at rest life you just have to wing off if you come off. i have it and take if needed. i went to a med first told them i could not take ssri and ask for klonopin, gave to me with no problem, lots on it so maybe you need fiund a dr that will give if it does you good.
