cipralex and ocd

It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It works by increasing levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. Increased serotonin levels can lead to an improved mood. I was prescibed this for my anxiety by my family doctor although I'm not sure if I should take this if I will **** dirty at the meth clinic.

So do you think panic and fear can be an extra side effect of cipralex and i should increase the above doze of xanax.

Basically it is believed that the neurotransmitter serotonin is decreased in the brains of people with OCD and so SSRIs help to stop the uptake of it and allow more to be available to our cells. There are many, many SSRIs out there and really it is a trial and error type of thing. If you are stalling out on zoloft then talk to your doctor about your other options but remember that you may need to give each one a good 4 to 6 weeks before you decide if it is working or not.

Im a 23 year old female, Im a social worker (so yes this is a very difficult situation) I have been diagnosed with anorexia/bulimia, OCD and depression-for approx 1 year now. I dropped from 185 to my lowest ever 106lbs. I recently went to my doctor and was prescribed cirpralex....I am now reading that is helped to treat bulimia. I no i shouldn't be, but anyone who has had an eating disorder can understand that Im now freaking out!!!!

Hello everyone, and thanks a lot for reading my post. I have been struggling with "my case" for about 3 months now and I'm just getting worse and worse each day. And I'm in a city that doesn't have mental doctors. Here is my little story: I'm the type of person who worries a lot! I over think everything. The thing I over think is that I love someone who I stayed with for 6 years, and I loved her SOOOO badly, and so does she.

Hello to everyone,i'm on cipralex several years diagnose with Ocd and anxiety disorder my dosage was initially 30mg now dicrease dosage 20mg,but these days are very bad i have again panic attacks every morning when wake up and i.m afraid that have some heart issue ,cause heart goes like crazy and start to shake and feel i will die ,and for this i take some xanax that distress me but i'm afraid if this happens again...

Being on both Celexa and Cipralex were experiences I will never repeat or suggest to anyone. There are always alternate, healthy and kinder ways to treat the brain and body for anxiety and depression. If you need any more info, send me a message and I'll be happy to help. Wishing you and your daughter the best!

I used to, like youe average person. And now, nothing. This started with the OCD and not wanting to be touched, and now I believe is a side affect from my meds. Any one else having issues? What can you do to fix this?

t recite the phrases bad things will happen and it bothers me the whole day and I have to keep on doing it! I know it is my ocd but does anyone have advice on how to end this????????????

I was on Cipralex for a year since losing dad and losing my job. had bad anxiety and insomnia.

4 weeks ago i started to go down a bit so i took lexapro/cipralex 5mg and i became happy for 10 days then i started to be anxious and moved around so i feared of becomic manic Upon asking the pdocs whether this was ADHD (usually comorbid with BP they said no, this is a usual side effect of BP) so i cut the cipralex and got back to the above combo. It was OK . Yesterday and today I have agressive behavior with depression.

I take both those meds and avoid all cold medicines and over the counter medications because they can interact with the cipralex and serequel. I always call my pharmacist and ask which medications could counteract with my anti depressants.

anxiety is a common denominator for all psych disorders. it's not specific to BP alone. Taking cipralex will do you good for a while but then it will drive you manic eventually. you said cipralex, is it the only drug you take or along with other meds ? because if you take mood stabilizers along with then perhaps it's safe. but i never heard someone with BP is prescribed an antidepressant only. cipralex is rather strong it's an SSRI.

p my daughter is 7 months old now and I started on cipralex just over 2 weeks ago and although the OCD is not all gone I can tell its gotten a lot better, it's like it shut something off in my brain so I can feel a little better , relax a little.

He told me to consult with the psychristic. I consulted with the psychristic. He advised me to take cipralex for one and half month. After taking the cipralex too i feels the same sympton. For that i once again consulted with the other neurophysician in bangalore. He advised me for doing the MRI Scan. The result of the MRI saying "Mild ectopia of cerebellar tonsils. The tips of the tonsil is 5mm below the formen magnum. No mass effect is seen on the Brain stem.

My went to visit my doctor about my anxiety and sleeping issues and he has put me on Cipralex 10mg dosage a day and also prescribed me 50mg of trazodone to be taken at bedtime to help me sleep. Does anyone take these prescriptions? if so could I please get some feedback on them?

I have had head aches on cipralex, and when I drink some or even more then some drinks I get almost sick with a head ache. 1) are head aches common in taking anxiety drugs, 2) any way preventing the head aches. 3) dry mouth is that common with these drugs.

I would give it some time. and don't keep checking your heart rate. Cipralex and this class of drugs are long acting and not something that would just drop your heart rate. But as your stress and anxiety decrease, your heart rate in the resting mode may go back to normal. A resting heart rate of 50 is in the normal range. You are on a low dose. Hope it helps your anxiety/panic. I have found that often anxiety takes a bit higher dose to really work well.

When I stopped, I was fine for six months but my depression suddenly started again. I restarted taking cipralex 10 mg one each night and I improved quickly. Now it is four years that I am taking it. I now want to stop it because I am having very decreased sixual drive. So my question is that, Will my sexual drive improve when I stop taking cipralex?

Talk about an exposure.Was in the HIV/AIDS ward visiting a friend and had to use their toilet.Ok--sharps box above the toilet,disgarded syringes on the ground and blood on door handles and on toilet seat and inside bowl.cleaned as best I could and disposed of the syringes.Sat on the toilet and did my business--OCD was no to bad and I had to go 3 times.

I was on cipralex (lexapro in the US) for almost 3 years and initially experienced some dry mouth, but no extreme side effects at all. It worked amazingly for me. I started on 10mg and then doubled to 20mg after 1 year. I recently switched to Paxil about 1 month ago, and have really disliked the way it makes me feel. My anxiety has been much worse and the side effects are just awful. It has been so much worse than cipralex.

I was on celexa for 8.5 yrs.. Started on 20mgs n my dr raised it to 40mgs after 4 yrs cuz it just didn't seem to be working.. After another 4.5 yrs it stopped working so she put me on cipralex... Been on cipralex for about almost 2 yrs now, and I don't find it worked as well as the celexa when it was working... I'm guessing it works different for everybody.. Do u still suffer panic n depression a lot??

I am taking propanalol and cipralex, which i was on before and it really helped. This time it is helping but it taking a long time for me to feel like "me" again. I had postnatal depression after my third child was born 4 years ago, then it developed into anxiety, since i was 16 ive had palpitations which i always thought were a sign of heart problems, but i ve had tests and know it is just ectopic heartbeats.

I am facing burning feet and shin while sitting since last 5 years. My NCS, RA Factor, ANA, ESR are normal. I have taken variety of medicines including Dulan, ronirol, tegral, prothyadine, cipralex, epival cr 500, sensival 25 etc. but my problem is still not resolved. During this problem i started walk which increased the problem. However, during walk i feel very normal i.e. no painful burning sensation, i feel. This is important that when i lay down i donot feel pain.
