Avatar f tn After recovering from breast cancer, I was prescribed a series of medications to treat depression and anxiety. I was put on Zoloft at first and then switched a few years ago to 40mg of Paxil along with 25mg of Xanax daily. I still feel anxiety and depression, however, and am afraid these drugs no longer work or that I have become immune to their effects. Should I be expecting the dosages of these medications to change over time? Is it normal to prescribe these drugs together?
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 The Zoloft is an SSRI and Xanax is a benzo and they are often prescribed together. The key to doing this correctly is that they are prescribed by your doctor and he/she knows what you are taking; don't do it on your own.
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 My PCP prescribed this medication, as well as Zoloft; 5 1/2 years ago. 3 mg xanax per day, 200 mg Zoloft per day. I have since been referred to a psychiatrist, and he upped the xanax to 4 mg a day. Now he wants me to taper off. I have started by dropping .50 , but I am finding it very difficult. Very nauseous, light headed, and rubbery legs. I am also having more severe panic than previously, and my depression is bad. Any input?
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.
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 can i take lunesta and zoloft and zyprexa together
Avatar n tn Technically you shouldn't. But I will speak only from my own experience. I've been on Prozac and Xanax (a benzo), and now Lexapro and Xanax for about 4 years now, and I've had the occasional drink (or 2) with no problems at all. The only thing is that the meds make the alcohol more "effective." That is 1 drink will feel like 2 drinks. So definitely don't binge drink, but a glass of wine or a cocktail here and there is not likely to cause any problems.
Avatar f tn It lasts for about 15 minutes and then stops and I fall back asleep. I am a bit fearful and worried if I should continue the Zoloft. I didn't have panic attacks this severe before taking the Zoloft. Has anyone else experienced this? My doctor just prescribed Klonopin for me to take in the event I need to calm down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Hello all, I have been dealing with a bout of anxiety for a couple of months now and have been taking Zoloft and Xanax. The xanax was to be on a "as needed" basis but I have had such a hard time I have taken it nearly everyday. I don't think the Zoloft is working, it's been 40 or so days and I think I have given it a fair shake. Anyways - I have been taking 1/2 5MG of Xanax almost daily and yesterday I didn't take any and haven't yet today and I feel awful.
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 After taking Wellbutrin 150mg 2x daily and my Zoloft 100mg together fro the first time I woke disoriented and dizzy Just was wondering if I should of started the wellbutrin one a day to get used to 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 m tn I have now been put on 50 grams of zoloft a day, and also two dormicum sleeping tablets a day, and also 2 to 3 mg of xanax. The problem is that I am now still feeling so depressed and partly anxious, i have been taking extra .5 grams of xanax to calm down.i know this is idiotic and alsobeen trying take extra meds a day to just get through.

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 I took xanax with my 2nd child and had no problems, the only issue is that of dependence. I am now on my fifth pregnancy ( 32 weeks) and thank God although my anxiety has been horrible I have been able to go through it without meds. But if you aren't able to do that just be careful and enjoy your pregnancy.
Avatar f tn 25 mg because of depression and anxiety caused by insomnia. My MD says Zoloft will help me sleep within about three weeks. Anyone have any experiences to share? Thanks!
