Avatar n tn ) If you stop taking your medication there is a very good chance that the symptoms of your Depression will return. Unfortunatly Depression almost never just goes away. The medication only controls it. This can often be very deciving because many times our medication does such a good just at controling our symptoms of depression that we think, "hey i'm better now and I can stop my meds.

Avatar m tn Can anyone give me some feedback on Zoloft for treatment of anxiety and/or depression? I am interested in learning of the side affects people may have experienced. I am suffering from insomnia so I was concerned that this med may make it worse?
Avatar n tn m now wondering if perhaps my symptoms are due to depression or are perhaps exacerbated because of depression. My question is can depression be a purely physical disease? In other words, can one have depression without feeling 'sad' emotionally? I've always been a happy, optimistic person. I have no other major stressors in my life, aside from my present illness. I'm a 30 y/o male with no history of any serious illness. I'm in good shape and have a good social life.
Avatar f tn just wondering if anyone has come across any literature that proves that anxiety and/or panic attacks can be caused by previous drug use? if so, is it because certain drugs alter brain chemistry?
Avatar n tn Did your doctor prescribe it to you for this? If not, STOP right now...'experimenting' with prescription medications, which are extremely addictive can NEVER have good outcomes.
Avatar m tn All of your symptoms are all good signs of depression/anxiety disorders. I have been struggling with this most of my life, off and on since I was 14 (now 23). Don't let if fool you, it may come and go for a while and doctors may say that you have "bi-polar disorder". I don't believe in prescription antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication, as I have tried a multitude of them in my teen years and none of them helped.
Avatar m tn In a Hungarian study, researchers found that intestinal inflammation is one of the factors involved in anxiety and depression and that treating the inflammation through probiotics such as B. longum along with vitamins B and D, and omega-3 fatty acids, significantly reduced symptoms. That’s great news for anxiety sufferers, many of whom rely on medications that have a lengthy list of side-effects. The most common drugs used for anxiety include: Xanax, Valium, Atavan, and Klonopin.
Avatar f tn Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter. The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months. Thus, it is not easy, but it gets better and better over time and you can look forward to a drug free healthy energetic you in the future. When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered.

Avatar m tn My daughter (22 years old) suffers from BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and drug resistant depression. We were very hopeful to hear about the positive results experienced by others who have also found no relief from traditional treatments but have found great relief from low dosages of SUBOXONE for their depression and BPD. In my daughters case, however, she has experienced constant nausea, fatigue and lightheadedness.
Avatar f tn It could potentially be some form of a manic or mixed episode, or it could be depression (irritability and paranoia can be common symptoms in depression as well as mania). Mood disorders can be complicated, but they can also be treated. Whatever is going on, it sounds like it's worth speaking with someone about, even a counselor if one is available for the time being.
Avatar n tn Wow -- I can't believe that his doctor would recommend waiting until the thyroid has "died off" to start treating the thyroid issue. Do you have a copy of his latest lab report? It would be great if you could post the tests run, along with their results and the lab's reference ranges, since different labs use different ranges. If you don't have a copy of the lab report, it would be a good idea to get one.
Avatar f tn At the top of the forum index page there are two buttons - Warning signs of Depression and Symptoms of depression. The symptoms page follows the DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual) which is what pdocs used to diagnose mental illness. The other one, warning signs, covers DSM symptoms and a few more related signs which may or may not be present, like anxiety, irritability and alcohol use.
Avatar f tn I also have panic attacks. I also think I suffer from mild depression. Even though my panic attacks have subsided greatly in the past few month. (I have been on the hormone therapy for a year now.) I still feel uptight, edgy, moody, no interest in sex, the list goes on and on - all the time. I just want to be happy go lucky again. I was wondering if taking .25 mg of Xanex every once in a while could possibly create any problems? I mean maybe taking it at most 2 - 3 times a month.
Avatar m tn The pain was somewhat manageable but I was riding the depression train. I had a RFA done which seemed to help a lot. I asked to get off the butrans and they said ok and upped the norco to 4x a day as needed. The pain has been manageable but the depression varies day to day. I decided to take a break from the norco to see if the depression would change. I should mention that I have been on Wellbutrin for a year after I suffered major depression last year before I got into pain management.
Avatar n tn I've been taking regular adderall (non xr) for 10t years for ADHD. The medicine does help with the ADHD but I'm concerned with the long term effects. I know Adderall can cause weight loss /decrease appetite as a side effect. With the exception of the past couple of years I was able to keep my wieight down partly due to the drug. However the past 2 years or so I seem to be gaining wieight.
Avatar f tn I talk to any of my doctors who has the bedside manners conducive to discussing the intimate subject of depression. I would think that every cancer patient has to deal with depression at some time or another. It hit me during chemotherapy. You should bring it up with both your doctors and let them decide who will treat you for it. You may have to get a third doctor. Nothing is easy now days.
Avatar f tn I have been seeing them for many years and for me, they have been very good. The state I live in has a terrific school for them called "Bastyr College" it is a four year college just for the Naturopathic program, then, if they want to specialize in other areas, such as acupuncture, they go longer. It is an awesome place, and any Naturopath that has gone there and graduated, usually is top notch.
Avatar f tn I actually did great on Paxil. My panic attacks and anxiety were gone within a week. Wellbutrin helps many people with depression but not so much anxiety in some cases. It's in a different class than the SSRI's and can be more stimulating. So see how you do on this med and if you do happen to have anxiety your Dr can always add an anti anxiety med. Keep us up to date on how your doing on the new med.
