serzone

Avatar n tn Hi. I'm on tamoxifen so I can't take any meds which inhibit cyp2D6 enzymes. I've been on almost ALL SSRI ( Effexor, lexapro, celexa, nortriptyline, fetzima, & viibryd) & my depression worsens with them (suicidal thoughts, etc). The only one that has helped is remeron but every time I've had to return to remeron I gain weight. I'm usually 110-112 and eat very well & workout almost everyday.
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.
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 f tn As LCC has said, having a reaction like that to the serzone could well be an indicator of BP. I would hope however that your Doctor didn't jump to this conclusion based purely on this incident. I expect he has looked at your husbands history and spoken to him in some depth before suggesting this. In order to get a definite diagnosis (either way) he does really need to be seen by a psychiatrist and I would suggest you go about organising this.
Avatar n tn t really know how it works in the States, I live in Australia and the medical health system is a bit different here. I fully qualify for a disability pension, except for the fact that I haven't been permanent resident (I immigrated here a few years ago from Europe) for long enough (10 years is required), so I am on what they call a 'Newstart Allowance'.
535822 tn?1443976780 The New York Post today has said that there is a push for the 9/11 Trial to go to Govenor's Island , A lower Manhatton Community board called on fed officails yesterday to move the trail of the terrorists to Govenor's Island and passed a resolution demanding the shift, in a hearing with Downtown Residents who loathe the idea of the threats that would ensue and the lockdown it would involve, this makes sense to me , what say you ....
Avatar n tn thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.I have tried wellbutrin in the past and it totallykilled my appetite. Any other suggestions.
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 txt Check out this link! Every now and then I just google Chiari and see if it is in the news anywhere! Sounds like someone or everyone here should do a bit more research!
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 m tn When combined with therapy, either group or private on a regular basis, we get to the source of the depression and then learn how to work on the issues that are causing us suffering. Talk therapy is still the prescribed way to go for many people who suffer from depression. A successful recovery from depression involves a dedication to daily work that can also involve meditation, yoga, journaling, and there are also many free groups like Emotions Anonymous that might fit your needs.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have an appointment with my gastroenterologist this week, and I'm expecting her to receommend that I get an endoscopy. Not that I'm thrilled about this, but I don't think I have a choice at this point. I'm just about completely off the nefazodone, and it's helped, but I still have acid. I appreciate your input.
Avatar f tn But the simplicity also allows people to become complacent or to ask for that little treatment pill they show in the news report without question, which we know all doctors are so well educated on treatment (insert sarcasm here). By the way, that treatment pill they show is Adefovir. Oh yeah, I also wrote Fiona Ma to show my support for her advocacy work. Will let you guys know if I get a reply.
492869 tn?1285018933 the guy in the than plaid shirt is on the side of the CDC and IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America), who believe that 'Lyme is hard to get and easy to cure'. The other speakers tend to be the dissenters like me and many others here. For those who have had Lyme for a while and have learned the basics already, the videos (which last about a half hour in total) might not tell you anything new...
Avatar f tn so I was in the mall all day . Shopping with my sis from 3-9 . I started to feel cramps but I said to myself it's normal . Although it was more painful than usual . I go home I go to use the bathroom I notice my panties felt wet I look down and I had blood all over them . I looked in the toilet and it was blood also . No clumps . But it was enough to look like I got my period it was a lot .
Avatar f tn It all started last year (12/2/12 to be exact) I was sleeping normally that night and felt a couple of flutters in my chest, I didnt think any of the matter (except that it was weird) I was slowly drifting off to sleep when all of sudden my heart starting racing and pounding extremely fast. My hands were shaking, I felt weak in the knees, I couldn't hardly walk or concentrate. It was awful. But you want to know whats crazy? It only lasted for like 45-60 seconds.
Avatar m tn 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. I developed health anxiety and a "lump-in-throat" sensation that I could bring on on-demand (OCD thinking), causing more anxiety. Had also worked myself up into getting "adrenaline rushes" nearly every time I thought about the "lump-in-throat".
Avatar f tn I'm in the hospital for a possible induction today because my daughter is measuring at 33 weeks and 3 days and I'm 35 weeks and 3 days but haven't heard any news of what they r going to do besides let me take a shower and get me walking around
736293 tn?1316517842 I keep thinking about telling my in-laws but am scared to. This news will seriously make them the happiest people on the face of the Earth. My husband is their only child who can have kids and since he is now 31 they have been waiting and pushing and asking for grandchildren for a while. I want to tell them since they will be so happy, but if something does happen that will crush them more than anything. I just don't know what to do. Any advice??
Avatar f tn i put a bun in my moms oven and told her to check in there and she did and she said "its a bun" and asked a bun, where? She replied "in the oven!" Took her a few seconds to get it and then she finally did....
1554910 tn?1297429911 I think I am having a hard time making this real without morning sickness or anything and the first picture and sharing the news have left me in a place where I am experiencing more fear and more joy but feel very supported and not alone in both.
Avatar f tn I've been trying for 3 long years and I am do OVER each month of disappointment. I have no children and my husband does and it's so hard to think it will ever happen for us. I can't say anything to make it all go away or make you feel better but I can tell you that I finally had to realize that I am doing all I can by seeing my doctor and specialist and it's taking it's sweet time but we are slowly moving forward.
