prozac

Avatar m tn Will Prozac, Valium, or any anti-depressants medicine postpones the delay of hiv test? I mean from 3 months to 6months or 1year. Moreover, does it affect hiv test? Thank you very much.
956150 tn?1248275215 I am starting with 10 mgs and working up to 30 mgs in about 5 days. His plan is to get me up to 150 mgs. Told me to stop Prozac completely, keep taking my new Zoloft 50 mgs every day. and my 30 mgs of Buspar twice a day. He tried to explain had the Imipramine would work for my adrenaline, but he lost me since I was focusing on my breathing. He also said I can take up to 6 tranqs a day until all the meds start working. He is a very old fashioned, old psych, but knows so much!!!!
15925647 tn?1444011369 Prozac is a more stimulating antidepressant, so if anxiety is your main problem it can make it worse. Doesn't do this to everyone, but it does happen commonly. You might take this up with your psychiatrist.
Avatar n tn org/wiki/SSRI#Contraindications_and_drug_interaction It says that benzodiazepines like alprazolam (Xanax) or diazepam (Valium) (klonopin is also a benzo) along with SSRIs (paxil/prozac) may increase blood levels and risk of toxicities. IF this is true 4) Why am I prescribed Klonopin with the Prozac (and previously the Paxil?) I have had no problems with mixing the two together but I'm curious as to why it would say that in wikipedia. Thanks!
517062 tn?1214148411 i just started taking prozac and wellbutrin. with this combination it helps with anxiety and depression. yes, i struggle with benzos as well etc. the combination of this two meds has really helped with w/d.
Avatar m tn Ditto on JSGeare. I was prescribed lexapro and prozac. Lexapro sent me to the ER with a major anxiety attack and prozac also made me nervous. Long story short, my doc. and physchiatrist recognized that I ONLY needed ativan for my anxiety. Unfortunately and for some reason, a lot of doctors out there are trying to treat anxiety with anti-depressants. Anti-depressants are uppers and they basically make you more nervous. These drugs are good for depressive folks. However, for anxiety...
780665 tn?1239026549 ve found that both the benzos (valium, xanex, ativan etc..) AND the SSRIs (Prozac, Zoloft,etc..) help with palpitations. I have been on Prozac for almost two months and have seen my ectopic beats (PVCs) reduce. At my worst, I had maybe 6 a day. Now I'm down to one every couple of days. Anxiety makes them worse so the meds help the anxiety etc.. However, when I started the Prozac, I had them every day for the first week. If you go on SSRI meds, give them time to work.
Avatar n tn I have been taking 3-4 xanax a day on top of the prozac, where I was only taking 1-2 a day. I had to get up and leave a meeting today at school in front of the staff because I was having a full blown panic attack! I also have not been wanting to eat and have felt naseous in general! Is this normal? I don't remember this the first time, many years ago, that I took Prozac, but I wasn't working then and was at home w/ my children so maybe I'm noticing it more being out in public.
Avatar f tn I have pretty bad anxiety myself, and started taking Xanax a few months ago. I take it usually twice a day; sometimes three times if work is stressing me out. My doctor suggested Paxil, so I started taking that about 2 weeks ago. I've been taking it in the morning, and at first it made me all weird and loopy. I don't think the Xanax helped the loopy feeling. I was going to stop taking the Paxil as well, because it made me completely lose my appetite.
Avatar m tn He was my Dr back then (a resident) and I did not know about addiction, all I knew was that I had panic attacks and it help it take me away. In combination with prozac for depression, I felt like a new person. That was then and many years have passed. I have never abused them, always took them at night. Lately, I have started taking valium on and off because my friend doesn't want them, and me, addict as I am thought ... sure I'll take the.
Avatar n tn i've seen a hundred times that mixing those two is very dangerous. i'm no doctor, but i myself take methadone and once i took a valium, i've never felt sicker!! i do believe it is very dangerous. . .
Avatar f tn 5mg though) while trying to get on prozac and ended up in the ER with a massive panic attack that they gave me xanax for. I did try to take the valium by itself one time without taking the AD's and took 5mg and I was "very mellow" I have just never stayed on anything because of the side effects. I have xanax that I take as needed,but my problem with that is that I often get rebound anxiety when it is wearing off so I try to avoid taking it unless I absolutely have to.
Avatar n tn My daughter started going to phychiatrist(she just turned 18 she was on 40mg of prozac) he put her on valium 5mg,celexa60 mg and and 100 mg of wellbutrin what is this combination usually treat? She has some aniexty and depression ?Her hands shake after wellbutrin,but doctor said to try and see if it subsides after body gets use to it.Please let me know if this combination is used alot?
Avatar f tn Now since doing some research on the internet, I am wondering if he is experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the sudden onset and discontinuation of Effexor and Depakote, and maybe even serotonin syndrome from taking the Prozac with the Depakote? Please advise. Any information from another psychiatric professional would be extremely helpful!
709686 tn?1277432159 I realize this was only two days but can anyone tell me about the negatives that go along with prolonged use of Valium. Thanks in advance for any direction.
796506 tn?1370188305 Dh and I have been trying to get pregnant for 16 months and this last month I was on the koladapins from prozac for the last month because I haven't been ovulating so they knew it was safe to take a class d. I started to lose the ability for prozac to do me any good. Does anyone know of any good meds they can recommend for me that would be safe for me to take while TTCing?
Avatar f tn m on 10mg of Prozac and have noticed some weight gain within the past 2 months or so and my doctor has suggested I start taking Wellbutrin along with the Prozac but my biggest concern is having panic attacks. I suffer from panic disorder w/ agoraphobia and the Prozac has been helping but I'm afraid that adding on the Wellbutrin may counteract that. (I know it is considered a stimulant for a lot of people - hence the usual weight loss.
Avatar m tn d also do this with a psychiatrist who you trust after talking with him or her, not a regular doc -- the latter aren't very good at this.
Avatar f tn Taking the medication is a personal choice, you should do what is best for you and if your doctor says it's safe than it's safe. My medication hasn't been tested on pregnant women so there wasn't a way to know unless my baby was the guinea pig. And I didn't feel like dealing with any emotional stuff on top of hormones that changing the medication would've surely put me through. I've been medication free for three weeks and so far so good.
Avatar f tn I completely understand the issue of dependance and how it differs from addiction. 2 doctors, a PA, and my Therapist all have no problems with me taking the Ativan. If I have to be on a low-ish dose of this forever that's ok.
Avatar f tn I have been taking 0.5mg Klonopin every night to help me sleep with my anxiety and it's really helped but just recently my doctor has put me on 10mg of Prozac to take every morning , well now I'm having troubles sleeping again even while taking the klonopin , could the two medication's be working against each other ?? I'm new to this group so please can someone help me out ?
Avatar f tn ive been on it for 2 weeks, doctor said it should get rid of these feelings, but ever since taking it they have been persistent.
Avatar f tn Well this doctor put him on Celexa (10mg daily). He said that will help with his nerves, I thought it was more of like a valium or something, however after coming home and looking it up I see that it is another anti-depressant. My question is that is it safe for him to be on all 3 of these medications? I have called the doctors office to ask him but have not heard back from them yet. I have not gotten this prescription filled yet.
Avatar n tn My psychiatrist has just added Zyprexa to take with Prozac as the Prozac is not working like it used to work.I'm worried about the weight gain with Zyprexa, is there something else that could be used with the Prozac instead? Also until now I've also been taking 1 mg. Ativan in the morning and 1 mg Ativan before bed. Is it safe to use Ativan with the Zyprexa?
Avatar n tn the doctor put me on alprazololam , 1 tablet daily as needed. i havnt been taking ,but i am worried about taking and how long this will help me. he prescribed 25 mg. i get panic attacks at my job. i havnt had to take because i have only been working but a few hrs a week. next week he wants me to work alot of hrs and i am starting to stress.the dr told me i could start taking propranolol -10 mg 3 times daily instead. i dont know what to do.
Avatar f tn Prozac is an anti-depressent. If its not working there are other anti-depressents that could be added or it could be changed. Speak to your psychiatrist about that. As for Xanax its a short acting anti-anxiety med meant for occasional use. There are other anti-anxiety medications that being longer acting have far less of a potential for a person to build up a tolerance to such as Klonopin (which I've been on 10 years without a problem).
