ciprodex

Avatar m tn m worried that the combination of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin can cause this. Is the combintation of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin safe? Thanks very much!
Avatar f tn I am BP1, but have hit clinical depression. I think they put me on a AD because of this and I'm pregnant and they don't want to put me on too high of a dose of Lamictal. Lamictal, I've been on it on and off for a couple yrs. It never really helped much with depression for me. So maybe all I needed all along was a AD. I've taken as high of a dose as 400mg of lamictal when not pregnant. It helps with the mania for short periods of time, but then I always have to up my dose.
Avatar n tn After reading these posts and I am starting to put two and two together and they are definitely looking like they are adding up to weight gain from Lexapro. I started on Lexapro in early July. I weighed in at about 178 at that time - 5'9 and worked out almost every day. While I was experiencing the start up side effects from Lexapro (about 4 weeks) I didnt work out but didnt gain any weight during that time. Anyway long story short - in the last month to 6 weeks I have put on about 12 lbs.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn So I talked to my doctor and he said that I can't take Wellbutrin because I have a history with non-epileptic seizures. Think I'm going to try to stick it out with just Lex for a while and HOPE that the tiredness eventually goes away after a few months at a lower dose like it did for you. I'm at 7.5 right now but it hasn't fully kicked in again (only been 2.5 weeks) so I think I'll wait a bit before going down to 5mg.
Avatar f tn I was on cipralex and Wellbutrin for 1 and a half years and then my doc switched me to Effexor for a year which caused more side effects than anything so iv been back on cipralex for about a week, I guess we will see how that goes.
Avatar m tn After taking Wellbutrin 150mg 2x daily and my Zoloft 100mg together fro the first time I woke disoriented and dizzy Just was wondering if I should of started the wellbutrin one a day to get used to it.
Avatar f tn I would say yes, because wellbutrin is an antidepressant and klonopin is a benzo and they don't have any neg effect together usually and are often perscribed together, to be sure I would call an all night pharmacist or your local pharmacist, they can give you more professional advice, I do it all the time. JUst ask them if you can tak ethe two together and they can tell you if you need to look for or worry with side effects, but I would think it is fine.
Avatar f tn I had anxiety and I was on Cipralex 20mg & Zyprexa 5mg I was doing fine. I got a viral infection for which I used leflox 500mg antibiotic 2 times a day. The viral infection got cured but I got anxiety. My doctor has gave me a plan to temper zyprexa as it was giving me brain fog and has added wellburtin SR 150mg. I am asking him to give me some benzodiazepines he does not gives as he says that Cipralex & Wellburtin are enough. He says that give wellburtin 3 weeks to work.
Avatar f tn I have thought about it because of m Bipolar sudden and quick anger. I have taken Wellburtrin and although I hear is helps many people, unfortunately, I did not have good success....trail and error I suppose in this candy store of medications! Best of luck to you! P.S. I believe 300 mg. is a common dosage.
Avatar n tn I was on mirtzapanine for a short while and I felt happy for once but together with the cipralex the 30 lbs came back within a month! One could give these meds to HIV and Cancer patients to gain weight, in fact, I think they do. So, we as patients who sometimes suffer from body dysmorphia should be informed of any possibility of weight gain because feelings of frustration and humiliation from weight gain is a real factor in our depression! I am now on cymbalta and have gained 3 lbs in 2 days.
Avatar f tn I just started wellbutrin for my depression and it made my anxiety sky rocket. Cant sleep and shaky hands. Im in a training program for a job and I was doing well, I have completed 4 weeks, i think clonazapem was keeping me going. I started wellbutrin and all of a sudden i got thoughts about being a failure, I will fail the training, I will get fired, I will be homeless. Then I started feeling suicidal.
Avatar m tn I'm sorry Jack to hear about your son. I can very much relate to him. The fears can be about rational things but the irrational part is the way we deal and obsessive about them. Has he been diagnosed with OCD or generalized anxiety? What your son has tried are SSRIs or serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Cipralex is another one of the SSRIs. It is thought that the serotonin in our brains is taken up leaving a deficit that our brain cells need to communicate and regulate mood, etc.
Avatar f tn I'm on Cipralex 15mg for anxiety and depression and Seroquel 20mg at night for insomnia. I've been on remeron/mirtazapine before and had no sexual disfunction issues, however I haven't had the interest in sex/intimacy or ability to orgasm since a month prior to getting on the meds. I just started taking Wellbutrin XL 150mg because I'm told it should help with the sexual disfunction. How long until I notice a difference? Do you think I'm on too many medications?
Avatar f tn Is it safe to use Cipralex (10mg tabs), or Wellbutrin XL (150mg tabs) while on the Methadone program? Been on Methadone for approx.
Avatar f tn I am on 10 mg. Cipralex, 150 mg. Wellbutrin XL, and 50 mg. Trazadone. Until recently, they have worked quite well, but for the past 3 weeks it's been downhill and I just feel more negative and isolated. Reasons are: my close cousin committed suicide, my boyfriend has been away for almost a month and won't return for another week, I am recently unemployed and trying to find a well paying job.
1926604 tn?1322961405 Wellbutrin was not a good drug for me. It caused rapid cycling and was part of the reason I was so screwed up about 2 years ago. I did much better on cipralex. I think it is a crap shoot. I would let the pdoc do the picking of drugs.
Avatar f tn The wellbutrin and xanax helps me be able to function,but that is all. I think the wellbutrin is making it worse,but i have found nothing else.Yes there are days I wish I did not even have to get out of bed, then there are others I really feel great. WHO KNOWS!!! I will keep in touch Thanks.
Avatar f tn I am on that combination and it works great. I was taking Lexapro 20 mg with Wellbutrin and was fine. How long have you been on Lexapro? My doc started me out slow with a week of 5 mg then 10 mg and so on. I know jumping into 20 mg for me was exhausting. Best of luck.
Avatar f tn I am taking anti depressants Zyprexa 5mg, Cipralex 20mg & Wellbutrin SR 150mg. When I am busy I am fine as soon as I think of anxiety my anxiety level starts to increase and becomes realy disturbing and uncomfortable. What can I do to control my fear of anxiety?
Avatar m tn I have tried Cipralex, Efexor, Fluanxol, Xanor (Xanax), Rivotril, Seroquel, Ritalin, Wellbutrin, Esperide. All had horrible side effects and and had to stop and try something else. I am currently taking Valdoxane and Molipaxin, but feel completely detached and unemotional, which is a problem as I have been married 9 months and my wife is 7 months pregnant. My doctor hads taken my off Molipaxin and prescribed me Lyrica to take in conjunction with Voldoxane.
1001742 tn?1252685847 Hi, If you read the first response at the top you will see that KiaKaha wrote that it's ok to take methadone and Cipralex together. I'm so glad I came on this website cuz I also didn't know if it was ok cuz ONE of my doctor's said that you CAN'T(my methadone doctor)take it and my family doctor said that you CAN!! So, I was confused as well but they came to an agreement together that I just stay on both the methadone and the cipralex.
Avatar f tn it is twice a day, i take for depression and hope to help on stop smoking and lossing weight and the Tramadol(not prescribed for me) 50mg taking for pain and hope weight loss. I do not even know if it is safe. buuuuuuuut anywaay. funny you are sunny66, I am mary66.......
Avatar m tn i've read many controversies and opposite views abt wellbutrin, does it drive you manic, once, all the time or NEVER ? I know some went manic on wellbutrin. Have you read something specific abt it.
Avatar m tn Hi I cant answer your question on cipralex as I have never taken it, my nephew as been on it for over 5years and he drops is doseage and goes down again, if you feel well on 10mgs why worry, just get yourself well on 10mgs stay that way for awhile then talk to your doctor about withdrawel, but be well and happy on 10mgs if 5mgs is bringing back the anxiety, I have been stuck on benzoes for over 30years yet one day I do hope to be benzoe free.
