Depression medication costs
Common Questions and Answers about Depression medication costs
depression
I was on Lexapro then to citalopram because of costs, added effexor and still had such horrific depression I wouldn't get out of bed for days. Then I started on 5mg saphris twice a day. At first I felt great but a little too high, so went from 80 mg citalopram to 40 mg a day.
As for your medication Lexapro is an SSRI used to treat major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Trazadone is a tricyclic, which is older medication used to treat major depression.
Different medications work differently foor different individuals and produce different side effects.
If cost is an issue, I would discuss that issue with your doctor who can provide you with valuable advice about alternatives. A pharmacist is also a good resource.
i hve been diganosed with severe depression . no suicidal thoughts ever , but feeling like running in a deep abbey of darkness, fear, and loss of desire to anything . this was usually accompanied by a desire for sleeping and escaping every activity. I have been descriped effoxor xr 150 for about one year and a half.. I felt better with less attacks, but depression never really disappeared .
Per my plan D this year, when my drug costs reach $2700, I then pay 100% of costs until my yearly out of pocket drug costs reach $4,350; at which point catastrophic coverage begins. Then, my costs are $2.40 for generic, and $6.00 for all other drugs. This whole process resets on January 1 of the following year.
I started Medicare through SSDI and opted for a Part A and B supplemental plan that costs more up front, but doesn’t have copays or coinsurance, etc. I pay roughly $200.
My husband das been diagnosed with depression and anxiety had been taking Effexor XR 75mgs or about 1 year however the side effects ie weight gain tiredness and loss of libido was troubling him. The switched to cymbaltor, due to high costs (even with insurance) of this medication is wanting to switch to somethig that is less expensive and that has a generic available. What about Wellbutrin or do you have any other suggeations?
I agree with the above post, and medication gave me my life back. Anytime you're put on this type of medication there is an adjustment period where things can be worse, but then things begin to improve...the norm is 4-6 weeks. Never just stop these types of medications, and when you have bad or unusual side effects always contact your doctor. He needs and wants to know how you're doing and will know what the next step should be.
If he doesn't know.... he can't help you.
I am currently looking for a new depression medication. I need some info on something that is NOT a SSRI, a hormone, and is not zoloft, celexa, or prozac......also something that does not contain salicylic acid aka aspirin. If anyone can help I would appreciate the help.
He was very good and after a couple of meetings he prescribed me with medication for what he called a chemical imbalance in my brain that caused depression. The meds worked and I definitely wasn't as sad most of the time. So for seven years I've taken meds. More recently I've started to feel, emotionless and even angry (on the inside). Im not suicidal like I was in middle school, but I definitely don't feel good.
If you are taking medication for depression does that make your system take longer to ejaculate and also make it harder to gain an erection?
Im on medication for depression and anxiety. Also occasionally I have a sedative in case I go bizzercerz. Would that hurt my child more than stress would?
It depends on which medication, there are some that are safe. Ive been having issues with it, because ive already taken all the ones that are safe at one point and there are very few that are safe.
Have suffered with Anxiety and Depression for the last 4 years, in that time I have been on Lexapro,Effexor and Cymbalta. About 8weeks ago Idecided to taper off Cymbalta as have felt that the medication seems to worsen my symptoms as well as making me extremely tired - I could sleep up to 16hrs a day which is not good with 2 young children.
Actually, it is possible to suffer personality changes on antidepressants -- it's a common side effect. They won't change your whole personality but they might change part of it. If it happens, tapering off safely and slowly usually gets rid of that side effect, but it would be wrong to tell you drugs are benign. Sometimes they aren't.
I know this sounds really cheesy but try not to look at having anxiety and depression as a problem. I grew up with a mother that was supportive of medication while my father was against it. I don't know how many times I heard "it's just in her head".
join a online depression support group, try not to cut ur self for pleasure (whcih is a very stupid reason i think), the anti depression medication will help with the sucidal thoughts . my grandma died smoking (cancer) and depression, so please no drinks , acholoh. go to pubs, try not to isolate ur self.
I wish you the best of luck mate !

does anyone know anything about celexa? for depression I have been on wellbution 300 mg lexapro paxil ... i can't find anything that continues to work for my depression. It seems to work for a little while and then stops. Or maybe it's just me? my diagnosis is bipolar 2 although sometimes I think it's bipolar1 with depression. I never have any energy and i feel trapped in my house. I am very antisocial. I don't want to be. I just cant help it .
I have been taking Amitriptyline for a while for depression and pain but 6 weeks ago I suffered a stroke and my depression is worse so was given Sertraline along with the other.
