Avatar n tn I tested positive but I am allergic to Fluoxetine Hcl, Diphenhydramine Hcl, Doxycycline, Venlafaxine Hydrochloride, Fluoxetine, Azithromycin and Amoxicillin-Pot Clavulanate. What antibiotic can I take to treat this? Amoxicillin?
Avatar f tn Is having side effects a good sign the meds trying to work on day 3 and managing to put up with them for now slight head ache but more the dry mouth and horrible taste just wanting people's opinions on this and is it good that I'm experiencing day 3 of switching straight over from another that caused side effects for the 5 weeks I was on them and couldn't take it anymore Thanks
Avatar n tn I hav taken Effexor Hcl 150 mg generic called Venlafaxine HCL ER Capsules 150mg, for years. A new doc wrote for the same medication in tablet form by mistake instead of the caps. Will it work the same for me?
Avatar n tn I am 33 yrs old and after having my first child 4 years ago I have been on Venlofaxine anti depressants. however, I am unsure if this symptom belongs to the effects of the drug. I occasionally get a feeling of numbness, my eyesight is slightly blurred and I experience numbness in my fingertips and lips. I have difficulty concentrating during these spells and find it difficult to remember simple words. My speach can be effected and a dizzy like sensation sweeps over me.
Avatar f tn In May this year my anxiety came back. So my gp put me on Serdep 100mg. The side effects are bad and my anxiety not better. I am thinking of going back and change to Venaflaxine. Used it for 4 years and felt much better than with the Sertraline.
Avatar f tn I tried Effexor for only three days when it was given to me to treat migraines and I couldn't tolerate the side effects. Don't remember now what all they were- just that it was intolerable for me. It wasn't given to me for POTS- it was before I was diagnosed with POTS I tried it.
Avatar m tn I was on bupropion hcl xl 450mg(wellbutrin) for almost 10 years. I noticed no side effects. Unfortunately it only lifted me up enough to not be suicidal. I was still quite depressed. Several months ago a psychaitrist added Venlafaxine(effexor) to my daily regimine. He started with a low dosage(37.5mg I think) and worked me up to 150mg a day over a period of about 3 months. During this time I did not notice any side effects. My mood improved dramatically.
Avatar f tn They swapped my medications, from Venlafaxine HCL to Citalopram HBR thinking the side effect was causing my blood pressure to go up, then sent me home. I not only had withdrawals but the new medicine caused my Fibromyalgia to flair up significantly. Within one month I went to my heart doctor begging for Nortriptyline (something I used previously for Fibromyalgia) they prescribed it and it helped 50% but still my anxiety was bad, and other symptoms were present.
Avatar m tn I have been on venlefaxine for over 10 years. I started on 37.5 and was put up to 75 about 5 years ago for anxiety and panic attacks I generally have no issues but recently I feel they are not as effective and I get side effects. Constant yawning when I'm not tired. Chills, weird sensations in my head like when I move my head my brain feels like it's moving inside and also ringing in my ears. Has anyone else had similar side effects.
Avatar f tn Yes some anti-depressants do give people side effects. I have been on quite a few I could not tolerate. Luckily I do not have side effects from Effexor. My sleep is restless, but as I do not have to go to work the next day, I am lucky. If I feel tired during the day I have a little nap. I like playing games on my computer, watching TV and reading, nothing wrong with that. Do you get out much?
Avatar n tn During all of this time I have been for the most part stable. missing a dose has immediate side effects which I actually appreciated because it would remind me to take the drug. Last week I began a new bottle. It took me SEVEN days to figure out what was going on. For the first time in my life, I got a bad batch of drugs.
Avatar m tn Dear Andy, so you stopped this med. right? Does anyone know? I haven't looked up this med yet, you had trouble w side effects? Are you on other medication? NAMI has support groups.
Avatar f tn adverse effects related to effexor(venlafaxine) are nausea,somnolence,sweating dizziness,anxiety,sexual disturbances and hypertension
Avatar m tn you can discuss with your doctor about starting only half the starting dose initially to give you some assurance of its side effects. paxil can be sedating so most people take it at night. the top 3 side effects are headahces, nausea and sexual dysfunction. all of these resolve over time as the body becomes accustomed to the new medication.
Avatar f tn The name is venlafaxine hcl 37.5 mg tablets, my doctor gave me a low does because i did not want any thing that strong, because i take enough pills that make me sleepy. Does any one know about these pills; if so pleases let me know if you ever taken them before .
Avatar m tn I already know how the medicine is suppose to work,what I wanted to know is how safe it is to take long term,or at all.I read all the side effects and I am not sure I want to try it.It scares me,one of the side effects is to your heart,and I read on line of people dying from it.Need more info.
Avatar n tn Hi there. Effexor or Venlafaxine is an effective drug to control menopausal symptoms such as the hot flashes and mood swings. Though you are correct that this can have side effects similar to what she's experiencing now, these side effects are not that common and I believe the benefit that she can derive from this drug far outweighs the potential risk of side effects. Also, I believe that putting her on Effexor is only a temporary measure so as just to control the present symptoms.
Avatar m tn I had to take an MAO inhibitor for depression, and my blood pressure went up due to medication side effects -- or at least, I thought it was due to medication side effects. The blood pressure did not go back down when the medication was discontinued. My psychiatrist told me, at the time, that the people whose blood pressure does not go back down tend to be people who have other predisposing factors for hypertension.
1910757 tn?1348683319 When I came off Sertraline there were no side effects, but with Venlafaxine the side effects of coming off it are very difficult. Like you I could not tolerate Fluoxetine either. Made me very bad. I can understand the worry about you losing weight. Is there any way you can adjust your diet to help with this? Will your doctor help you with trying to gain some weight?
