Avatar m tn Okay, now I think I know what you are taking, sertraline, which in the states is Zoloft. Plus your Xanax equivalent. These are medications that are often prescribed for OCD, anxiety, depression. The sertraline can have side effects. What are you feeling like? I don't want to list side affects because I don't want you to start looking for particular one. :) How much Sertraline are you taking and how much alprazolam do you take during the day?
Avatar m tn I have suffered depression all of my life, feeling sad as far back into childhood as I can remember. I spent many, many years self-medicating (alcohol+drugs). I know for me, I have tried 16 different anti-depressants and other than the ones that gave me severe nausea and the ones that made me feel like a walking Zombie (Effexor, Seroquel and Olanzapine), the others did nothing.
Avatar f tn Has anyone been on anti depressent for 25-30 years? What about anxiety medicine? Has anyone ever tried to get off of these drugs after that long, by their self?
Avatar f tn I really anxious an scared. Do you know if there are any anti anxiety drugs that you can take that will not affect the liver?

3183328 tn?1351183517 What's your opinion on anti anxiety medication? I've been going out more but I have a hard time getting in the car, then I have a hard time getting out. And I freak out. I'm seeing a therapist, and she said it's all up to me. She has anxiety too and she takes medication. So I was wondering which did you have the best results with, do you think i should take a low dosage, and also, what side effects do they have.
Avatar m tn The previously enrolled viral hepatitis patient medication records (PMRs) had been perused, out of which 830 patients had taken the combinational drug (chloroquine, intercalating and anti-viral agents) treatment for CHB. These 830 patients were included for our study and called for clinical, biochemical investigations and follow-up.
Avatar m tn primarily for short-term anxiety relief. Benzodiazepines are very fast-acting, but can be highly addictive. I would not even recommend benzodiazepines except that you intend to use medication for short-term relief. They can be very addictive. Of these, I would try either xanax or librium.
Avatar m tn The anxiety was caused by my disorder and since diagnosis and treatment, my anxiety is under control without meds. I began having severe reactions to anxiety drugs and stopped taking them altogether and would never touch them again, due to the damage they caused to other parts of my body. Allergies, especially food allergies from childhood on (dye's, gluten, lactose, sugar, etc) can cause severe anxiety amongst other things.
Avatar f tn Definitely sooner! The first time I started treatment I didn't know about the depression side effect. It was HELL! If you have a history of depression, you need to make sure you have the depression under control before starting treatment. If you aren't taking an anti-depressant at this time, I strongly recommend you talk with your doctor. The treatment meds WILL CAUSE DEPRESSION! I just started the triple tx with Incivek three days ago.
1722607 tn?1335747858 Many people are placed on antidepressants before they even start treatment. Either of these drugs (Paxil or Zoloft) could be used for anxiety and either could be used for depression. I know there are more but without researching I cannot remember the names. I think if you tell your doctor you want something that is not addicting, hopefully he/she will know not to prescribe benzodiazipines but rather proscribe a medication like Zoloft.
Avatar f tn If the bio-hormones are helping, I would give those a little more time, but I strongly suggest weaning yourself off any antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs if you haven't already. This is too much for your body. As you probably know, prescription meds take time to leave the system, so you may experience the same side effects for a while afterwards. Exercise can help speed up the process. As for your doctors, don't put up with their disrespect or insensitivity.
Avatar f tn m not saying you did that, though), your anti-depressants and/or anti-anxiety meds is a bad, bad idea. Find one psychiatrist you like and is covered by your insurance (if applicable) and stick with him/her. If you change doctors, it's your responsibility to tell the new one your ENTIRE mental health and medication history.
Avatar m tn inderal is one of the drugs prescribed for preventing an attack. Anti anxiety drugs like alprax also cause low mood and lack of sleep. Consult your physician before restarting the medicines whether you need to continue. Try to take up a sports or outdoor activity and join a social group for mood elevation. Eat a well-balanced and healthy diet at regular intervals with regular exercise.
524608 tn?1244418161 I have noticed a decrease in apathy and slight anxiety since I started tx...(almost 3 months now) so I talked to NP about it today and we discussed why this happens and the possibility of using anti depressants. I am not unhappy, no temper issues...nothing dramatic at this time....so I'm wondering if I should tough it out. My biggest concern with the extra meds is coming off of them. I am worried that my body won't produce endorphins naturally after taking these meds.
Avatar f tn t be taking anything other than possibly a light anti-anxiety drug then. Anxiety about starting treatment and work stress hard to focus etc is much different than what SSRI"s are intended for...clinical depression. Clinical depression is a life altering serious disease that needs powerful medication to help with. The normal life stuff usually is not a reason to take one of these meds than can very often have serious sides and some long lasting...especially given you have cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn Since nerve tissue can take many days to regenerate, it is likely that your pain will improve over time or might reduce completely. Simple over the counter painkillers like non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, B12 injections may be helpful in reducing your symptoms. Other commonly prescribed is amitriptyline, an anti-depressant and carbamazepine that can help in relieving nerve pain when given in relatively small doses.
Avatar f tn ve learned it all passes no matter what in my PERSONAL experience. With or without drugs... anxiety passes. I personally think drugs make things worse for some people, like myself. That's why I'm staying clear and just doing talk therapy. Talk therapy has taught me a lot about UNDERSTANDING anxiety and how it works, and how the body works. It makes all my symptoms if I ever do go through anxiety, feel like they are nothing but just sensations. They can't harm me..
1187071 tn?1279369698 I have a question for those of you that can't take Anti-inflammatory drugs, my nerve dr wanted me to try them when I first started seeing him, it started with Nap and don't remember the rest and my knee is hurting so I don't want to get up lol Anyway I tried to take them for 3 days and they KILLED my stomache. It hurt so bad after taking them I just prayed it would stop. Is this why some can't take them?
