cipralex and the elderly

Despite being very happy with the medication overall, I continue to suffer from drowsiness and the need to sleep more - up to 12 hours a day compared to my normal 7 hours a day before I used to take cipralex. I am sure this is directly due to cipralex even though the side effect is not listed as a common side effect of taking cipralex.

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.

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.

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.

I am going to be contacting my doctor this morning since none of these symptoms seem normal, I have been reading up on prescriptions and i had alot of the severe side effects from the cipralex and its really scaring me. I will let everyone know what happens next...

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

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.

Takes 4 to 6 weeks to reach effect for the dose you are on. And then gives steady effectiveness without ups and downs.

but the eye tic is bothering me and am concerned about the Seroquel causing it. How long should an individual take Seroquel XR for sleep quality...what is the time period thought to be safe. I realize even taking it for sleep is an off-label use and am trying to define whether or not my right lower eyelid tic is being caused by the SeroquelXR 50mg or if this is just coincidental. ANY feedback you give is highly appreciated.

however, (based on you history) you run the risk of the depression returning. I had the same problem with cipralex (aka lexapro), and the depression came back 6 months after stopping it because of the sexual side-effect. There are other antidepressants that have less of an effect on sex drive. I had no problems with sex drive when I was on Prozac, and Wellbutrin has no sexual side-effects or weight gain. You should speak to your doctor about the risks / benefits of stopping the cipralex.

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.

This thread is really old!! Doubtful k-baby is even here anymore!

Thanks for the input, I was on prozac last spring, and had an awful reaction, it took a few doses of xanex and ativan to get me out of it, after hours in the ER.. I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks and have for over 20 years. I was on ZOloft for 14 or so years and it pooped out on me the fall of 2013 and ever since looking for the same wonder drug zoloft gave me...

thank you sir I would like to inform you that i have consulted various doctors specialized in medicine, neuro, ortho, rheumotologists, and used variety of medicine like, epival, sensival, dulan, tegral, prothyadine, arcalion, zeegap, pegalin, neuromax, mecobal, cipralex, ronirol, flexin, froben, CAC Plus 1000. the usage of all of the above medicines provided me no potential relief.

I've been on cipralex 20mg for about 1.5 yrs, before that was on 40mgs of celexa.. I'm 37, about 190lbs 5'7".. Anyway my question is, my dr prescribed me ability 2.5mgs that I'm scared to start because of all the scary side effects I've read :-(. I guess I should also let u no that I suffer from severe anxiety/ severe depression disorder.

It's meant to be a better vision of escitalopram as I'm in the uk they don't do lexapro it's cipralex here I'm on day 5 and no better yet just want things to start working really iv been told up to 2 weeks but can be as soon as 6-8 days the only side effect is the insomnia and not being able to sleep that's why iv been given zopiclone for that but don't want to have to depend on it for a long time, iv been through all this before on many different anti depressants wit

m going to pass in 2 weeks the side effects but it was cheated were disastrous we vomit we shed terrible headache strong God how I resisted I do not know I could not eat I could not sleep I was crying for death She said it to me in March 2017 They continued the side effects until July when I came back to her I would die if I kept on doing so with the reactions (I know I exaggerated a bit) He gave me again paroxetine until December 2017 after that they did not give the effect he gave me cipralex

d be concerned that they took a few eipsodes of palpitations, and in the absence of a cardiac problem, assumed anxiety was the cause. And, I could see how the presentation of palpitations and migraines would lead the docs to think anxiety, but I still think you should have been referred to a psychiatrist. If I were you, I'd ask for that. In the meantime, ask if it is okay to try some OTC stomach remedies, like the Simethicone, Pepto (which has Simethicone in it), or something similar.

They are designed for people that suffer from Depressive and anxiety dissorders that are the result of Bio-chemical imbalances in the brain that cause severe mood and anxiety dissorders. This fact does not stop most doctors from prescribing these medications to normally functioning individuals that have suffered types of life trama that induce sadness and loss. For these types of depression, medication is not a wise choice.

Another commonly used technique for migraines is biofeedback, which helps train you how to elevate the temperature in your hands and therefore relieve the constriction in the blood vessels that cause migraines.

If possible I would see a thyroid specialist or an endocrinologist and have all of the proper tests taken. The cold feet sound like a symptom for an underactive thyroid. Blood tests can have different reactions on different days, I would definitely get a second opinion.

it is unbear able some times a feeling of loosing control alot of tention grinding my teeth ringing in the ears and head my doc told me to up my dose to cipralex 20mg but i am afraid it will make it worse. and the side affects will be a big problem. please let me know what i can do i take omega 3 joy and multivitamins . and i take vitamin b6 b 12 shots twice a week .. what aree your suggestions they would be very helpful. thank you for your time .

I take prescription medication on a daily basis dealing with anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders. Will my meds hurt my baby? I take Clonazapam, cipralex, epival, and seroquel.
