Common Questions and Answers about Serzone and pregnancy

serzone

Avatar n tn I had NO side effects back then. My doc is thinking we will try serzone. Does serzone work similar to remeron? If remeron works will serzone likely work when all these others just make me worse? I'm so frustrated.
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 n tn t - What works for you or others did not work for me, the ONLY relief I got from my Major Vegatative Depression was Serzone, and only 200mg a day at that, that is all I ever took. I tried, Paxil, and laid awake literally for 2 weeks straight, tried Zoloft, Noritryptaline, Pamelor, Triavil ( Trilofon ?
1115705 tn?1258815104 She wants me off any sort of benzo except for possibly .5 mg to use as PRN and to switch the Serzone to Celexa. The Serzone has black box warnings about liver issues and is banned in many countires. But, overall it did give me my life back. There seems to be trend in my area against the use of benzos. I am hoping to hang around here a bit as we slowly step through this process. The wean down from Klonopin began three nights ago with generic Remeron being the subsitue.
Avatar f tn After stopping serzone for anxiety, my husband had a reaction of severe insomnia after trying Lexapro for 3 days. His doctor suggested bipolar and put him on Zyprexa but is weaning him down gradually. He's on 7.5 mg currently. What side effects can we expect if he doesn't really have bipolar (which is our opinion) from this medication? We know the most common ones, but what if he is not truly bipolar? I can't wait for him to get off of it, but he is sleeping soundly again.
Avatar m tn Turns out it is BARDS and slight damage has been done. You want to watch how this progresses and follow up if it doesn't do away with the med changes.
Avatar n tn Does Serzone cause weight gain and how does it affect your sex drive. This is my first time on this forum and looking for some answers.
Avatar m tn with no deppression i am now feeling deppressed and i think it is from a melatonine/5-htp combo, i know it is a seratonine uptake drug but i was on Serzone for 17 days and it made me extremely suicidal so could 5-htp be the cause?
Avatar n tn Side effects of Lyrica including sleepiness, dizziness, blurry vision, weight gain, trouble concentrating, swelling of the hands and feet, and dry mouth. Lastly, Paxil can also be associated with weight gain. Again as stated before Wellbutrin has a lower incidence of weight gain . The average weight gain with paroxetine (Paxil®) for someone who weighs 150 pounds is about 5 pounds. Some people can gain much more.
Avatar m tn I did have this problem many years ago, which is when I was originally given Ambien, and put on an anti-depressant (serzone), which helped. I have been stable without the Serzone for a long time. I decided to start taking B12, and Magnesium (oxide, crappy absorption) yesterday, and my mood improved somewhat, and some of the obsessive sensations I mentioned earlier have lessened. I have gone through several days of crying spells, missed work, and hopelessness.
Avatar m tn I have been having progressively worsening visual symptoms for years now. It started off as only visual symptoms, limited to my left eye. Just before I went on Serzone for depression, they started to get worse. I would see flashes/streaks of light, ghosting, halo's around backlit objects, increased floaters, the odd inability to maintain focus when looking anyone in the eye. And not for nervous reasons. Over the last few years, the previous symptoms have evolved into new ones which follow.
Avatar f tn Had eyes and ears checked, many blood tests and all are clear...have tried anxiety medication also and none were effective. Anyone else also suffering from the same condition?
Avatar n tn She is naseaus, feel full after eating very little, pain right after eating, has headaches after exercise, and her taste has been off. An ultrasound was done and all was found was a liver hemangioma. She has been on acid blockers for the last week but they aren't really working. The doctor says it wouldn't be the hemangioma causing pain. Any help is appreciated. I am afraid the doctors will just try to send us on our way with no answers to this.
484508 tn?1290010544 This time after day 4, I got hit in the middle of the night with horrible anxiety, agitiation, pacing and I was sweating profusely. I took my .5 mg of Klonopin which settled me a bit, but the next day, I felt like I was on the verge. My doc told me to take 1 mg of Klonopin and that settled me down. The next day I was better, but discontinued the Prozac and went back to .5 of Klonopin. I can't believe that a medicine can react to you totally differently when you restart it.
Avatar n tn 5mg of Xanax 4 times a day about 8 years ago and my blood pressure has been fine since. I went to a new doctor to establish a new family physician relationship and get needed refills. Every refill, including lower back pain muscle relaxers and pain medication, was filled exactly as they had been with the exception of Xanax. This new doctor arbitrarily reduced the prescription to 3 times per day. I didn't find out until Medco mailed my prescription to me.
20922415 tn?1661860103 If pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. The combination of high estrogen and progesterone levels suppresses further ovulation during pregnancy. Progesterone also encourages the growth of milk-producing glands in the breast during pregnancy. High progesterone levels are believed to be partly responsible for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), such as breast tenderness, feeling bloated, and mood swings.
Avatar f tn I was getting anxiety like dreams and it was horrible, my pdoc upped me from 200 to 250, and the dreams and some of my daytime panic attacks have gone. I rarely take ativan now. Personally Buspar did absolutely nothing. I have Social phobias as well. Do you have a psychiatrist? If you don't I really suggest you do, they are experts in med management. Since you've been on many of the SSRI/SNRI meds it could be a different diagnosis all together, and I'm not a professional.
362971 tn?1201987034 I have had hundreds of phone calls and emails from my clients who are successfully lowering their viral load and all of a sudden it is up millions of points. Many of them have one thing in common. They took Nexium, the purple pill you see advertised on TV for acid reflux disease. This time it was Carolyn W. In October 2006 her viral load was 143.000 Carolyn’s doctor gave her a bag with 4 sample bottles of Nexium, 7 pills per bottle, 40 mg per pill. She took all 28 pills.
1128643 tn?1262483649 Hello there, Cymbalta is a SNRI which mean it will affect your serotonin level but also your norepinephrine level which can be translated into adrenaline which results into a energy boost and less pain. I am on Cymbalta and Lyrica for chronic nerves pain due to compression of the suboccipital triangle causing pressure on the C2 originating nerves resulting in occipital neuralgia and myofacial pain.
Avatar f tn I am suffering from depression but I have Long Qt and am obese , diabetic and have svt's my GP has been unable to find any medication that is suitable - do you have any suggestions?
Avatar m tn I have been on SSRIs on and off for last six years for GAD and depression ... None of them has really helped me ... I went to my doc and he prescribed me Luvox ... that was the only one I have not tried ... Now the problem is I have extreme fear of taking SSRis due to horrible stories that I have heard that they may cause permanent sexual dysfunction also known as PSSD ... For that reason I am going to request my doc to prescribe me either TCA or MOAI ...
563594 tn?1309583132 hello is ne body out there taken serzone and no ne thing about it? Plz email me back asap. I have been on it for 11yrs and i need sumbody to talk to. Also been taken xanax for 11yrs.
612551 tn?1450022175 s a possibility. Strangely enough SSRIs can make for vivid dreams too. I was on one once (serzone) and I rather enjoyed the dreams though.
Avatar f tn I agree with Greenlydia that you should find a primary care physician so that they can get to know you and help you with your anxiety and also get to the bottom of you kidney infections. I used to get bladder infections and then kidney infections when I drank a lot of cokes. I drink lots of water and juice now and rarely have a coke. I was hospitalized twice as a child to see why I had kidney infections all the time.
Avatar f tn The one that worked OK for me was serzone but that was pulled from the market due to liver damage. It relaxed me and helped with anxiety issues. I had heard about the liver issues before it was pulled from the market so I started to wean off it myself. I was only on it 6 months so it wasn't too bad, then I started to see a counselor and started cognitive behavior therapy.
Avatar f tn I had had a concussion, been on meclizine and valium and some other wierd things- the Quack Doc injected my skull above my ear where I had the concussion pain, with a wierd nerve block drug or something (I was trying to comply) and my face turned sort of green...this same quack put me on serzone...ended up in crisis in hospital......messed up my life terribly, all these drugs ! As a child, I suffered from insomnia at times. I had a very unhappy childhood indeed- a sad, lonely one.
