Serzone anxiety

Common Questions and Answers about Serzone anxiety

serzone

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.
1432927 tn?1283546704 Further, when i try to exercise (pulse to 140 bpm) I get multiple pvcs. BP is controlled. Recently, I was put on Paxil 10 mg for anxiety - now my pulse runs constant 110 at night and 84 during the day with intermittent PVCs, should I discontinue Paxil - is there a negative link to beta blocker therapy? History: Chronic Anxiety (15 yrs), HPN (20 yrs controlled) Recent Cardiac MRI, Echo, Thall Stress Test all negative.
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.
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 n tn t do, and I have been struggling for years, working for myself from my own home, I am not sociable, if I go out in public and I am in line or a crowded room I get a palpatation, weak knees and feel detached from reality, my therapist told me that is anxiety - I feel I was double crossed, Serzone was all that helped me, it did not cure me, but it helped more than any other, HOWEVER I started in 1997 and in 2004 a Big Liver Black Box came out, and it is considered a dangerous drug.
Avatar m tn I'm at my wits end here. I've been suffering from sleep issues for about a week. I used to sleep like a rock for 7-10 hours a night uninterrupted. Over the past 2 weeks I've been having some major issues. I had a health scare, and thought I was going deaf. A petty thing, really. I poked a cloth too far in my ear, and plugged wax into the inner ear canal. A walk-in clinic visit later, and I was seemingly fine, even for the next day or 2. Then, the sleep issues started.
484508 tn?1290010544 Ok, I go back to my doctor because I am having horrible anxiety.....mostly because I think I tried to taper from .5 mg of Klonopin too quickly...still looking for that answer. He tells me to start back on Prozac which I have done 2 other times. The only symptom I got before was the "Yawns" 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 .
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 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 More importantly, if he does not agree with utilizing xanax for your condition and you feel strongly that you want to continue, you may need to find another physician. A well-qualified psychiatrist will have more training in managing anxiety, but they may also want to explore other options for you since this seems to be a long-term drug that helps you with your condition. Good luck, and call right away.
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?
563594 tn?1309583132 hey y'all. I just need to vent, I'm dizzy, a little disoriented and have to keep working and acting like everything is normal when its not. I'M not. I know the doctor is tapering me too quickly, but I feel like I should just go along with it. Obviously my body has become dependent on xanax in just 8 months. what a ridiculous drug... I am really not looking forward to the next month. even the month after that...
484508 tn?1290010544 I have a hard time with meds....Finally the doc thinks I have an anxiety disorder, after thinking originally it was a mood disorder. What he calls hypomania, racing heart, agitation, fear, panic and intrusive worried thoughts-not pleasant at all. So he started me on Celexa. The first day I felt too good, like it was a miracle drug, and I got worried, so I cut back to 5 mg and this overwhelming anxiety hit and I had to take a Klonopin on day 3.
Avatar m tn yea I have anxiety ,but I dont know if the anxiety and pills caused this or my heart acting up caused the anxiety ???????? I mean who wouldnt be scared Im on xanax 4 mg ,200mg lopressor , prilosec daily I have taken all the benzos , had buspar ,serzone,paxil (it sucked) fell my life has been taken over by fear . now I cant sleep and I want to eat all the time .last month I hardly ate at all ...scared sorry I just needed to vent .
Avatar m tn 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. Extreme sensitivity to moderately bright lights.
404138 tn?1308941656 Its really my anxiety that does it and if my anxiety wasnt so bad I would not touch it. I can go days without it, weeks, I went a WHOLE MONTH without it, but that whole month I didnt do much of anything. I did really well one day I went to the mall with my bf...and I was okay, my anxiety was ok and therefore I didnt go running for a drink. I feel horrible. Like a horrible person, but I feel so much better when I do it but then afterwards I have SOOO much guilt. I dont know how else to feel ok.
Avatar f tn You need to find a good doctor who will figure out what is going on with your chronic kidney problems and help you deal with your anxiety issues. In this day and age, we must all become pro-active in our own health care. So find a doctor and get to the bottom of these issues. You've wasted enough of your life feeling anxious! Please keep us posted, OK?
Avatar n tn I would recommend you speak to your primary care provider about the possibility of using an alternative medication to the TCA, possibly Wellbutrin or Serzone. I would not stop taking any of your medications without the express guidance of your doctor or prescriber. Also, Lyrica, marketed by Pfizer Inc.
Avatar f tn im six weeks out of the ablation,bp is good and i need to be puton some type of anti depressant/anti anxiety medication,SSRI type of drug...maybe? my ep doc wont prescribe it or even tell me what he thinks works best for heart patients- i have heard these drugs or at least some of them are bad for the heart...and my pcp is just a np-so i kinda dont trust him to make a call like that... anyone else with heart rhythm issues on a antidepressant recommended to them by their ep or cardiologist???
Avatar m tn It usually takes a good 4-6 weeks in order to see the full benefits and one of the side affects is hightened anxiety. I had it myself but I perservered through it with the help of this forum and some klonopin as needed. For the most part, you are going to have side affects with anything you take including the SSRIs. From what I have read, the SSRIs have the most sexual side affects but only a very, very small percentage of people that go off of them retain those sexual side affects.
Avatar m tn I got body jerks, metallic taste, no memory, disorientation, depression, anxiety, difficulty swallowing, buzzing in my ears, difficulty with balance, panic attacks, vertigo, high to low BP spikes... on and on. And the symptoms kept increasing. It effects your CNS. And cold turkey can lead to prolonged or permanent CNS damage. So, I took it very slow and had very little WD at the end. Last night I slept 6 hours without any drugs at all. Freedom.
969132 tn?1249324251 s weird, because a migraine preventative that worked the longest for me was a different SSRI (also made me gain weight), serzone generic (I understand the name brand was taken off the market... Serzone caused liver damage being the reason).
Avatar n tn The only cause I thought later that might have been was I was taking generic serzone (since they took the name brand off the market for liver damage), but I'm not sure if the medicine I tooke was why it happened. It was said to be unusual to have one on my liver by a doctor, but not harmful. It is a collection of blood vessels.
Avatar f tn Leave it to a doctor to blame the alcohol & not the prescription drugs. I have a story to tell. In 1994 something in my mind changed do to a traumatic event. I lost focus, I stuttered, I had no idea what was happening to me. I was placed on Valium for 2 weeks. I functioned normally during those 2 weeks I just don't remember any of it but one little flash of being at work, just a spilt second.
362971 tn?1201987034 Has anyone heard of or seen any studies about any drugs affecting viral load? I was wondering what other people have heard. I saw somewhere on a post on this Forum that they took Viagra during treatment. because of its affects on them. I took it occasionally myself because during treatment my HGB was so low I think it affected me. Anyway it helped and I was wondering if it could affect my chances of SVR. Here is a link I found and what this person has to say about it.
