Avatar f tn I dont take effexor but I take celexa and zyprexa in the evening and my syn throid in the am. you want to take them at least 4 hours apart. you dont want anything interfereing with the synthroid absorption.I will tell you since I have been on synthroid I am now on the lowest dose of my meds. I am bi polar so I am too scared to stop my head meds but I am doing well on the low doses.
Avatar m tn What do you recommend I do to ask my doctor to increase dosages on neurontin and effexor xr for anxiety? Do you recommend to take Seroquel XR and other recommend medications to me sleep at night and to help ith severe anxiety attacks? I need something to knock me out.
Avatar f tn After very sever psychotic depression (so bad I couldnt hold down water) three years later I have made a good recovery. I just need 2.5 mg zyprexa to live my life. It prevents relapse. But the weight gain is hard. Has anyone found an alternative that works as well as zyprexa but without the weight.
607502 tn?1288247540 Im getting parasthesia (brain zaps), nausea and manic like no toomorrow - ive taken zyprexa 2 hours ago and no sleep and the 10mg of valium every day is just taking the edge off. 75mg now down from 225..
919239 tn?1269394658 I have been prescribed Paxil,Zyprexa,Effexor,Cymbalta, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro,Celexa, Zoloft, and probably something I have forgotton. These anti-depressants did little or nothing other than lighten my wallet. To be honest,the best results that I have experienced has been taking self injections of testosterone. I am male,55 yrs. old and found that my testosterone levels were very low. The injections give me more energy,less fatigue, stronger libido, and a better sense of wellbeing.
Avatar m tn Will Abilify help me adjust from tapering off pain medicine while at the same time , removing the zyprexa, and deal with my anxiety and bipolar issues? I cannot remain on anything that makes me as tired as zyprexa or seroquel anymore, it’s not helping with the major depression.

Avatar n tn I dont know anything about the same you might talk to your doc about tht too. I have done so well with the celexa and zyprexa so I jsut take them and get on with it. good luck and let me know what your doc says.
Avatar f tn I must say that my Psychiatrist was very aware of this, and had me taper off the Effexor very slow and then started me on a Tri-cyclic called Nortriptilyne. (Nortrip is also an SNRI like Effexor XR, but it works in a much different way) different enough that my body had no tolerance build up to it's therapiutic effect. I must say that the Nortriptilyne worked very well for about two years at 75Mgs day.
Avatar m tn We got in to see her psychiatrist and she spilled her guts about denying and covering up the manic episodes in the past. He put her on Zyprexa to knock down the mania and then started her on Lamictal, keeping her on Effexor. That was all about two weeks ago. I guess my question is: is there any chance of a normal life after being diagnosed?
520191 tn?1355635402 Simple question can you take two anti-pyschotic medications at once? And if you can is it better than an a anti-depressant for a mixed mood? - this is because i am on seroquel for anxiety and sleep and i don't want to come off it but i have the choice of going on venlfaxine or zyprexa so if i chose zyprexa would i have to come off the seroquel. I am being treated for bipolar at the moment mixed state.
1687493 tn?1305600366 Ever since i started my zyprexa[antipshychotic] and celexa. effexor[antidepressants] my sex drive and errectionsare weak. is there anything i can take or do to help this?
Avatar f tn I take Effexor XR, Celexa and Risperdal. When the p-doc added the Celexa I had mania for a week. I have been on this cocktail for a couple of months and only one other issue with mania but it only lasted 3-4 days and was not too severe. I can tell you my depression is 100 times better with the additional anti- depressant. Best of luck to you and I hope you find success with the new cocktail.
Avatar f tn I did take Depakoate (Epilim is another name for it) for a while and although it worked on mania it did not work on depression but that's common and probably why you were prescribed venlafaxine (another name for Effexor) which is an anti-depressent. As for paranoia, Seroquel is a very effective antipsychotic (for many people although each person reacts differently to each medication) with mood stabilization properties and while I could tolerate it I found it quite helpful.
Avatar m tn I took the venlafaxine, but with low dose Zyprexa, 5 mg, but 2.5 would have probably been enough. It worked very well and i was able to give it all up once recovered.
Avatar m tn If you feel bad go back up for a few days + try again You can get off without suffering if you do not rush it. I gave up Rivotril like this also Zyprexa and then in the end effexor. My Doctor helped me as well. You go so slowly, I often did the steped back up + try again a couple of days later.
Avatar m tn I am on 7.5 mg of abilify (morning), and 2.5mg zyprexa (night), which I've been on for a couple of weeks I'm finding the mix better than just the 7.5mg of olanzapine I have been taking previously for 6 years due to the fact I can actually get up in the morning now! I recommend these doses. I would like to know side affects of abilify..ie sex drive, sense of humour, weight loss? And can I use paracetomels with this mix? And green tea slimming pills?
Avatar f tn Doc said that the panic attacks may be manic symptoms and so she told me to take zyprexa 2.5mg at night, stop the prozac and take 37.5 of effexor until she gets back in town. She told me that she thinks that I am bipolar but I don’t understand why. She said that she thought my panic attacks were manic episodes that manifest as irritability and panic. I don’t get it. I do have ups and downs but just like anyone else I think.
Avatar f tn I take zyprexa and celexa and I have been stable for 7 years on this combo and the therapy is priceless. It gives you the tools to understand the illnes and deal with it. and definaltly get you thryoid checked as a malfunctioning thryoid will present itself as mental illness. ask for the full panel tests inclucding TSH t3 t4 and antibodies. Let meknow what you find out.I hope and pray things straigtenout for you. try the healthy changes they help alot and cut down the need for so much meds.
874521 tn?1424116797 From what I remember Depakoate and Zyprexa both were extremely sedating for me and Depakoate in general works better on mania than depression. But its better to wait to speak to his psychiatrist before making any changes. Abilify is an antipsychotic that is the least sedating and Lamictal is less sedating than Depakoate and works better on depression. You could ask his psychiatrist about that.
739988 tn?1386672969 Try 6 small meals a day with a protien and carb in small portions. I take ayprexa and I have lost 46 pounds and I am not diabetic I love my zyprexa and I am not going to give it up. I did gain weight at first on it but I have since lost the weight. It is possible to keep the weight off on zyprexa.

10996785 tn?1432812977 Hey, it's me. Dropped in to say hello. Still clean and sober. Day112. Man it's been a struggle though. Allergic reaction to Efexor, Pneumonia, and a stroke later and I'm still standing. I am beat though. So while I've felt myself fading I figured I would go back to where it all started. Right here in this community. I already feel stronger just reading and catching up with you all. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. We all need it...
