zoloft for eating disorders

Lexapro is not a mood stabilizer, it is an SSRI antidepressant, in the same class as Zoloft. I would ask your doc for clairification, as it would be unlikely you would be put on both medications. Zoloft is a good medication with less likelihood of side effects, compared to other drugs in the same class. The important things to remember is that you have to give this drug ample time to start working, at least 8 weeks, if not longer.

i was tested for diabetes, and my results were 76 1st hr 81 then 43 3rd hr, they say i have hypoglycemia ? i didnt feel any symptoms when i left.......

The nausea lasts for an hour or so. I feel fine until I eat so frequently postpone eating, to get the most out of the morning. I've had gall bladder test and am currently on a blood pressure raising med as I have low bp - but it's not helping either I am 66, active.

So sorry to hear that your Dad is going through this. Sounds like it's such a discomfort for him to get anything down. After a while of not eating, one's appetite for anything seems to fade. Would some sort of liquid nutrition be an option? i know there are some healthy meal replacements out there that may trigger his appetite again. I'm not sure if he can drink it slowly or not. Perhaps a nutritionist can suggest some options for easy swallowing and digestion.

There should be a category for people suffering from eating disorders.

Your doctor or pharmacist should know this- Zoloft is for depression and anxiety- it tells the brain to have happy thoughts- Xanax relaxes the body and muscles and Lamictal is for seizures and bipolar= it depends on the doses and if you take these together= has one dr prescribed this? ask them!

In general, Lexapro has fewer side effects than Zoloft and Luvox. Zoloft causes more nausea, and sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction is also common with Luvox, but less than that caused by Zoloft. Withdrawal symptoms are highest with Zoloft and Luvox. However, due to lower protein binding in blood, Luvox gets cleared from the body pretty fast compared to Lexapro and Zoloft, so withdrawal symptoms can abate faster.

I'VE BEEN EATING LIKE A PIG FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS FOOD IS MY FREIND I HATE WHAT I'M DOING BUT ITS LIKE I CAN'T STOP. IVE BEEN ON ZOLOFT FOR 4 YEARS NOW AFTER DEVELOPING OCD WHILE 6 MONTHS PREGNANT GLAD TO SAY THAT ZOLOFT SAVED ME FROM THAT. I'VE SUFFERED FROM PANIC DISORDERS FOR A LONG AS I REMEMBER. SO I WENT TO MY PHYCHITRIST AND SHE SUBSCRIBE WELLBUTRIN XL FOR A BOOSTER. PERHAPS TO HELP MY EMOTIONAL EATING AND DEPRESSION.

If Ondansetron is not helping there are other drugs like antacids and proton pump inhibitors that can give relief. You can ask your Doctor for a change of prescription. Also dietary modification like eating a bland non-spicy food, avoiding alcohol and smoking will help. The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.

Hi Rich, I have a Panic/Anxiety Disorder and Depression. The Zoloft worked for both disorders, but seemed to have worked best for the Anxiety attacks. I didn't have an Anxiety attack for almost 3 straight years on it. Only time I would have an attack is if something REALLY happened, that earned an attack. I started on 100mgs once per day and 3 1/2 years later I still take the same dose. Not bad eh? Hope you find what works for you very soon!!

Celexa is used to treat depression. This drug is also used to treat eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa) and other mental conditions (obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder). All the other medications you mentioned are from the same family(SSRI's).

However, if the eating disorder you are is either anorexia or bulimia this is not an option because during clinical trails bupropion caused a slightly increased rate of new seizures in those two eating disorders. However, if you have compulsive over eating or binge eating disorder it would be ok! One last thing: the reason your doc choose cymbalta first is b/c its used to treat pain AND depression.

From one Cubs fan to another... I used to take Ativan, but only on occasion when I was feeling very anxious or panicky. I'm not a doc or anything, but from what I understand benozs aren't usually supposed to be taken regularly, especially when you're on an SSRI like Zoloft. The benzo should be more for the occasional "breakthrough" anxiety/panic. So if you're taking the Clonazepam every day, you might want to consider weaning yourself off of them.

Hi all..I am currently on Sertraline (Zoloft) 100mg every day for depression. Ive been on it for 5 years now. I'm one who has constant worry over anything and everything. Well about 3 years ago I also started having anxiey/panic attacks. My first attack woke me from sleep and I went to the ER, I couldn't breath,swallow and was having chest pains and all.. I thought I was having a heart attack.

s friend Emily sees me at my skinniest and suddenly starts to lose a noticeable amount of weight. Is this subconscious for Emily? I have done a lot of research on eating disorders and this issue is glossed over completely without fail. Does anyone in the healthcare industry have any info on this or opinion.....I am writing a book.

Does anyone else suffer from major hand tremors? I am on Geodon, Zoloft, Klonopan, Propranolol, & Lithium. My tremors have gotten worse and would like to know if anyone was able to overcome them. It really bothers me and is very noticeable.

My dr. wants to put me on zoloft 50 mg for depression and clonazepam to help me sleep. Has either or both of these drugs worked for anyone? How about weight gain? Or loss?

t necessary. generally taking it before bed produces a sedating effect, which is good for people with anxiety disorders. a lot of times, we aren't the best sleepers.

Adderal is for ADHD. Zoloft is an anti-depressent. Both will worsen mania. Are you sure she is addicted or that they just set off a manic episode. Of course only a psychiatrist can judge but in my opinion she needs a mood stabilizer. Abilify and Seroquel are antipsychotics but they function as working mood stabilizers. Why did she go off them if they were working?

You will get the right answers tomorrow, but for today let me say I do not think the lower dose of zoloft will cause that much sleeping....I do think you should seriously address the emotional eating, and also add some psychotherapy rather than another medication, with your psychiatrist...that always helps.
