Avatar f tn t want to take plaquenil just yet. Doctor said to take celebrex and a muscle relaxer. I have been taking 1 mg of xanax for 3 weeks and before that it was about twice a week as needed. I was having such anxiety and sleep issues rhemy said to take it every day. Now 3 weeks later she wants to try the new coctail of celebrex and muscle relaxer. Tried the muscle relaxer the first night seemed to take a little of the night time pain away not much.
Avatar n tn I still ahve anxiety, my doctor gave me Celexa which is okay, my question is, is it okay to take Xanax and Celexa together? I used to take Xanax too for panic attacks, and for now I know it will make me feel better. Does anyone know if they can be taken together? I have never been hooked on Xanax at all, so that is not a problem.
Avatar f tn I have recently (1 month ago) been prescribed xanax (.5mg x 3 a day) and celexa (20mg a day), and very recently I have been experiencing falls, black-outs, and bed wetting after having only a few drinks, meaning 3 small glasses of wine or a few beers. Has anyone else had these humiliating experiences???? Will these side effects wear off after being on the meds for a longer period of time if I continue to have a few drinks, or is this permanent?
Avatar m tn When I am not taking my meds, I am tired, can sleep all day, am completely unmotivated to do anything and do not want to socialize with anyone. I have tried several different meds and am currently taking Celexa and Adderall XR. My psy says that adding the Adderall will "kick in the Celexa" and make it work better. I have a love/hate realationship with the Adderall. Although I am prescribed 20 mg Adderall XR 3 times a day, I never take all 3 pills a day.
Avatar f tn At one point, I was put on a daily dose of Xanax and within a couple weeks, I realized I had to increase the dose and/or frequency to maintain the effect. I stopped taking it daily, and for the past 10 years, I have only taken it on rare occasions... Not sure if an anti-depressant would be helpful, but that's a great question for the doctor when he gets back.
11487567 tn?1418754128 t imagine very many people taking three different drugs that all target serotonin receptors at the same time. Celexa and Lexapro are essentially the same drug, with Lexapro being Celexa with some of the molecules cut out. This is weird indeed. I wonder why the Zoloft wasn't tried at a more therapeutic dose instead of layering on the same kind of drugs.
1450728 tn?1292192822 I am six weeks today, with my third child. I suffer from PTSD, and I am currently taking Xanax 0.5mg twice daily. Since I found out, I tried taking it on a PRN basis...this was NOT helping me. My PCP put me on Celexa last week, 20mg daily. The Celexa seems to be making my anxiety worse! I cannot sleep and have panic attacks at night. My husband tries to get me to breath through the attacks, rubs my back, has me do deep breathing. Nothing seems to help! My last resort is taking a Xanax.
Avatar f tn If he is taking a substantial amount of Xanax, tapering off may trigger both Opioid and benzodiazepine withdrawal which could be extremely dangerous.
2044839 tn?1331255841 So i recently had really bad side effects to Celexa im off the medicine my doctor decided to give me paxil for my panic disorder. Does anyone know if it will interact with me taking xanax? Im not really into all these anti depressents and xanax is the only thing that calms my body down. Well i just wanna know if there safe if i take them together?
Avatar n tn My question now is, can I take one of these low dose Xanax today? I started the Celexa last night and took 1 mg Klonopin to sleep. I just want to feel normal again.
Avatar f tn t like dealing with these meds at all. I had been taking xanax , as needed from an old script, and when it ran out, the new doc went with klonopin. Lately, though, my anxiety has been running my life too much..taking away my very self, it seems, so maybe it will come down to a daily, after all. Thank you, again...
Avatar f tn I know I had a problem when a psychiatrist prescribed me Xanax to take when I was already taking clonazepam -- the Xanax gave me new phobias. I always assumed it was the cross action between the two benzos, but it could just have been a bad reaction to the Xanax.
Avatar f tn I am also on 40mg of Celexa daily. I have tried other antidepressants, all of which affected my sex drive. However, Celexa has not interfered with that part of my life at all. I've only been taking it for about a year and a half now, and have had no issues. Maybe its the interactions of all the drugs you take together. Or maybe your body is changing and buliding up a resistant to the long-term usage of this medication.
Avatar f tn Felt like it was a racquet, bandaid, or vicious cycle so after week three on Celexa, I quit taking xanax and started noticing marked improvements every day thereafter... Along with benzo's counteracting Celexa, I notice that painpills hinder it as well... just not as bad. I'm happy with 20mg and have no desire to drop to 10mg. I'd recommend 20mg to anyone. Works for me. Good luck Tricia!
Avatar n tn my husband and i have not depression subsiding, but my anxiety and stress are off and on. i go to the dr. next wednesday and i hope and pray that she doesn't increase or switch i'll get back to you. if anyone has experience anything like this please comment!!!! i just want it to go away!!!! i have faith and i know im going to be ok. may god bless everyone out there!!!!!
Avatar f tn I don't think your over medicated. Here's what I think is happening with you and your depression: (Keep in mind this is just my opinion) I am only going by what my long experience with treating my depression has taught me. (1.) don't count on the Welbuterin to have any major theraputic effect on your symptoms of depression or Anxiety.
Avatar f tn I don't know anything about Celexa. If you are upping it and then getting the anxiety, it sounds like that is your problem. Did your doctor tell you to up it? I would talk to him about what you are experiencing. He probably could tell you if that could be causing your anxiety and what you need to do.
Avatar m tn I started taking Celexa 20mg 1mo ago and I notice a big difference. However, I'm not taking a benzo anymore b/c I felt like it was countering the positive effects of the Celexa by 'depressing' my CNS. I would take Xanax at night to sleep and found that when it wore off, I would have twice the anxiety as normal. I felt like the xanax was a 4hr bandaid, and the after-effects (dbl anxiety) just weren't worth it.
Avatar m tn Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.
Avatar f tn Now its 6 weeks later and I have started 10 mg of Celexa for the last 3 weeks and been taking .25 Klonopin at night. Sometimes the anxiety is getting so bad that I have to take a Xanax or Klonopin when I get home from work just to eat dinner. I want to exercise and eat normal but I have no energy and no appetite. Food makes me want to gag. I'm terribly worried about becoming addicted to benzo's but they are the only thing giving me any relief so that I can eat dinner.
Avatar f tn Most of us who suffer with anxiety take both and antidepressant and an anxiety medication, they both help with panic attacks. Don't allow your GP to treat you for this.... see a psychiatrist, they are specialists in this field and are much more knowlegable when it comes to medications. A psychiatrist will listen, care and know how to treat this, your GP is just winging it. Don't stop the Celexa, keep taking it until you see a psychiatrist.
Avatar f tn I have had several surgies including a partial mystecomy..bit in the face at my job by a german shephard and had to have plastic surgery.. 2 surgeries on my foot due to MRSA infection last year. Oh and I lost my job because of it! I'm taking Xanax (not by dr rx) and that helps alot. When I went to my dr a month ago he gave me celexa which isn't doing anything but making me nausious!! My nerves are shot and don't know how to get relief.
1131131 tn?1275108488 I had no problem switching from Xanax to Klonopin. It was years ago, when my insurance company coveraged stopped for my regular psychiatrist. The new doctor switched me in one day. I was terrified I'd have problems: but had absolutely no difficulty. As Klonopin is a long acting anti-anxiety it is generally the medicine of choice for patients with chronic panic disorder.
