zoloft

266195 tn?1215310411 I'm currently taking xanax, and will start prozac tomorrow. Does anyone know of any possible interaction between xanax and prozac taken together? My doctor says he's not aware of anything, But I just wanted to get some opinions from people who may have first hand knowledge or know of someone who does. So I guess do benzos and ssri's mix well? I really need the xanax untill the prozac can kick in.
Avatar m tn due to anxiety issues I was taking xanax for 3 weeks then switched to klonopin for 3 weeks, also 2 weeks ago i started taking zoloft. The xanax was .5 mg 4 times a day and the klonopin is 1mg morning .5 lunch, .5 dinner and 1mg bedtime. zoloft started last week at 25mg and now is 50 mg. I built a tolerance for the xanax and now it seems them sames is happening with klonopin. I have a lack of appettite and anxiety.
324184 tn?1308076203 Nadolol + Zoloft + Alcohol I have been prescribed Nadolol for migraines, Zoloft for anxiety/depression and I am suppose to take both daily. I have drastically decreased the amount of alcohol consumption I intake compared to how much I consumed when I was younger. I do like to have a glass of wine or two on the weekends on occasion and I am wondering how bad it is for me considering the medications I am on.
1995824 tn?1330379049 While there is an interaction between xanax and Incivek (which I found out after finishing Incivek) all that it says is that you should modify the dose. Incivek can increase the dose. I can't believe a professional would say you should just stop xanax cold turkey. That is crazy, I am so sorry. There are many drugs that Incivek will interact with some on the list, some have not made the list as they have only been discovered since the Incivek's release.
Avatar f tn We are all different and we all react differently. I CAN speak for myself..........I took Zoloft and Xanax together for several years and never had a problem. But that was ME. I am not anti medication, but I DO believe too many doctors are in too big of a hurry to throw meds at us that we really don't need.....which then turns into a slippery slope.............my advice to you is to give this a little more time.
Avatar f tn Hello has any bothy experienced increase in anxiety when they first started zoloft . I took xanax twice last night and I was abled to sleep a few hours. I'm not at my therapeutic dose and won't be until the next 21/2 weeks. Do most people take xanax more frequently to help them get though this?
Avatar m tn google "drug drug interaction" and you will find options for checking medication interactions....i use one of these sites regularly and some allow you to set up your own medication profiles. good luck!
Avatar f tn I have recently been put on Zoloft and was informed that taking both at the same time could cause stomach bleeding, but my doctor said she would put me on the Zoloft anyway. Is this safe? I normally do not take the naproxen every day but there are times I do take it daily for a week or two when my back is especially inflamed. I would like to continue taking both medications if possible. Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn 0Mgs of Lorazepam and 300Mgs of Zoloft, that may be a problem. Your dosages on your Zoloft and Lorazepam are ultra low. No question in my mind that your safe. Nice thing about Benzos and SSRI's is that they play together nice and their is no bad interaction between the two. Just watch that Lorazepam my friend. It's a safe drug, but it has a way of making you want more and more the longer you take it. I am addicted to Benzos and I never thought it would happen to me.
Avatar n tn I being taking Xanax for almost a year and my doctor prescribed me Zoloft to stop xanax, how can that be? dont know how will that affect me I am kind of scare of using both at the same time, any answer on how Zoloft works?
Avatar f tn Have been on Zoloft 25mg for 3 weeks new doc wants to put me on abilify 2mg with the Zoloft to see if it makes it work better. What sort of side effects does this cause and is it helpful?
1501613 tn?1289319749 Is it safe to take both? I take the Zoloft during the day and Paxil at night because I noticed it helps me sleep.
Avatar n tn I am currently back on zoloft. Almost 3 weeks and it hasn't really kicked in yet. How long did it take for zoloft to start working for you? Sometimes when you first start taking a med or go back on meds the side affects make your conditions worse instead of better but it tends to go away.
Avatar m tn That has stopped I am now taking around 8mg of xanax a day and 6 mg of clonazepam a day. Plus I take 100mg of zoloft daily. I have been doing this for about the last six months. I would actually like to stay on the clonazepam at my original dosage but I want to get of the xanax and someday the zoloft as well.
Avatar m tn im going to start taking zoloft tomorrow and im pnervous but nobody answered my questions about it
689327 tn?1240229164 In the past yr I have been on celexa, lexapro , Zoloft and now back on lexapro because the 200 mg of Zoloft was making me shakey. None of these AD's seem to work aty anxiety and depression. The only slight relief I get is from klonopin, which I have been on for a yr also (low dose .25mg 3x's a day. My podcast keeps telling me to be patient because it takes time for these mess to work .
Avatar f tn Sweetie, like I told you before, it's impossible to know how YOU are going to do on Zoloft. Some people report drowsiness, others report insomnia, still others report zero issues. It doesn't matter what time of the day you start taking it, just pick morning or bedtime, and start with that. You can always adjust the dose time to help you tolerate any side effects (if you even have any), down the line.
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced breathing problems with Zoloft. Youknow, the "I can't quite catch my breath" feeling. And if you yawn you finally get enough air. My heart and lungs have checked out fine. Other than that , I feel much better for since being on it for 2weeks. Also, any thoughts on the sucess of other meds besides zoloft? Prozac? Lexapro?

Avatar f tn i have been having alot of anxiety attacks lately and i keep going to the hospital and they keep giving me zanax so i finally went to my family doc and he put me on zoloft and gave me an appt.
Avatar f tn I take my zoloft and ativan in morning as it me jittery and causes insomnia. I have seasonal allergies and was wondering the best OTC antihistamine would work better. Allegra, Zyrtec or loratadine. I was on 12.5 zoloft for 2 weeks and tapering up to 25 mg (split another 12.5 in half so 3/4 a pill then one whole 25 mg. I have to do this slowly as I am super sensitive to meds. Thanks for any help. Plus I eventually need to taper down my ativan when I level on the zoloft.
