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 f tn During those phases of depression, did your doctor prescribe antidepressants? Many years ago, one doctor put me on a certain kind of antidepressant. I took that antidepressant for several years. Then for whatever reason that antidepressant stopped working for me. During that time, I experienced what can only be called light headedness. I was very frustrated, scared, confused. I couldn't talk properly and I couldn't focus. I couldn't remember the simplest of things.
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.
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 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 I agree 100% with Ban that turning to an antidepressant to help with the mental symptoms of detox and w/d wouldn't be my first recommendation (if that's why it's being suggested). I would always encourage people to try to find other ways to cope while they're waiting for things to improve. I think if after some time and effort has passed, and not yielded any results, and the symptoms are debilitating, then it would make sense to consider a medication.
Avatar f tn Has anyone dealt with issues after discontinuation of an antidepressant during pregnancy? If so what was your experience and did you end up getting back on it? I stopped mines around 12 weeks and am now 30 weeks...I have suffered this whole time emotionally and mentally ever since I really need some advice!! Thanks ladies..
Avatar f tn Yes it is definitely the reason you should never stop an antidepressant by yourself cause you only will make the problem bigger see your doctor again and what concerns bloating and depression believe me depression can affect the digestive system alot and I suffer the same problem bloating,cramps and ehatever I eat hurts my stomach and intestine....Try to relax and drink relaxing teas before going to bed....Don't drink coffee or tea or even sodas.
Avatar m tn For the past 10 months I have had gynelogical problems and the gynecologist wanted me to take another type of antidepressant for the pain and to see my doctor for a script. Just over a week ago I went to the doctors but could not see my doctor as she was booked out for over a week. The doctor I seen took me off the antidepressants was on and started me on another one 2 days later.
Avatar n tn I can tell you laura, it is not going to be easy to find a prescription antidepressant that will not cause some sort of withdrawl if and when they are discontinued. Take it from someone like me that has been on more than 2 dozen different antidepressant drugs and combinations over the last 18 years. I can't think of one that I did not get withdrawl from when I stopped it and switched to another medication.
Avatar f tn Does anybody know if there is an antidepressant that does NOT trigger excessive sweating?????
