Avatar n tn I have been told many times that Wellbutrin is okay to take during pregnancy. However, Xanax is not okay. I also suffer from depression and anxiety so I know how tough it can be. In regards to your symptoms, they sound like pretty common pregnancy hormone related issues. I hated my husband when I was pregnant. For no reason at all. I cried all the time. I was sick to my stomach. The baby was fine; I was fine. Hang in there for a little longer sweetie.
Avatar f tn I went into extreme depression (sarafem and xanax helped). I had severe anxiety that actually comes and goes. I only use 1 xanax at night maybe twice a week for sleeping purposes. I am currently not on any antidepressants. My question is I starting in September I the anxiety came back and got so much worse during the holidays. Along with the anxious, pry me off the ceiling feeling, I have muscle twitches and feel so weak and it's difficult for me to talk.
Avatar m tn definitely! you need to see your psychiatrist for treatment. i deal with the confusion almost daily and even medicine doesn't help much, but my psychiatrist isn't the best. i'm going to find a new one soon. some maybe depression too, i have anxiety with depression and mania cycles as well. anxiety can make you do some wierd things and it sounds like you have it.
Avatar m tn How much do you know about PAWS and can symptoms last for months at a time everyday. I am on 2 mgs of xanax .05 mgs four times daily.
1653969 tn?1390331661 I talked to my reg doc ( not one writing the RX-done with him) and doc put me on prozac for depression and xanax for anxiety. Well OMG got got blindsided with the lowest low I have ever felt. Had been outside all morning cleaning yard, playing with boys,having a great time, came into make lunch and slam! Wanted to just curl up in bed and cry.Not an option, dont want to do anything right now, not an option.
Avatar f tn t count on the Welbuterin to have any major theraputic effect on your symptoms of depression or Anxiety. Welbuterin only effects the reuptake of Doapamine in the brain and does very little to effect the key neurotransmitters responsible for Depression and anxiety. (in other words I'm saying Welbuterin is not a very effective Antidepressant.) Again This is ONLY my opinion from direct experience with the drug and by talking to many Depressed people like me that have also been on the drug.
Avatar m tn Just wondering I have been dealing with anexity for about 6 months now and it seems as if I can find little relief from my 24-7 symptoms. My doctor put me on xanax and lexapro. Xanax works a little I believe but the Lexapro does nothing to my knowledge. I am just wondering if these few symptoms are symptoms of anexity or something else?
Avatar m tn can taking xanax for 30 years cause depression over the years of taking it?
Avatar f tn Day five, I actually started feeling happier again than I have in a while. But yes, Xanax withdrawal is known for giving dysphoria (depression), spiked anxiety, shivers, and a bit of a muddled mind among other reactions. Do keep in mind that anything that your body does in response to your panic attacks, it will appear in your withdrawal symptoms because the xanax withdrawal does increase anxiety.
Avatar n tn I have been on anti-depressants for a number of years so I live with depression and addiction - to xanax and anything else that is addictive. Yeah, I only took the xanax for 3 days but I took enough to have it alter my brain chemicals. Well it sounds like I need to ride it out and see if the depression lifts in a day or two or then get back to the Dr and readjust my anti-depressant. Spring is here so the extra sunlight helps. Sleep deprivation is a bummer. But as they say...
Avatar m tn t know depression from xanax is rare and in fact out of all the benzos xanax is the least likely to cause depression.ln fact Xanax is a benzo which differs from other benzos in that it has a "triazalo" ring on the molecule which imparts some antidepressant effects, in addition to the anti-anxiety effects.
Avatar f tn That you stopped the Xanax for two weeks, but the symptoms continued, gives weight to that theory. Xanax is completely out of our systems in 4-6 hours but for those two weeks you still experienced symptoms of irritability/anger, a feeling that you may begin crying, (and in fact, did) and a sense of despair. These symptoms are more classic to depression than anxiety and I have to wonder if you've possibly been misdiagnosed.
Avatar f tn Anxiety often accompanies depression and sometimes improves with use of antidepressants. Perhaps your doctor has observed symptoms of depression and/or heard you report them. In any event, like Paxiled I think you should discuss these issues with your psychiatrist to determine his precise reasons for wanting to prescribe it for you. If you don't have symptoms of depression, taking an antidepressant may be unnecessary, especially if occasional use of Xanax controls your anxiety.
Avatar f tn I just have to watch what i est cuz it makes you gain weight. I also take .50 mg of xanax 3 times a day. I am wondering when i am gonna start feeling alot better. Any advice will be helpful!!! I just want to be me again. Also any advice to help with the depression until the meds kick in. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Same goes for grapefruit,it can increase the dose.Yes,symptoms of depression can last longer,it depends on the person,treatment-meds,and therapy.Take care of yourself and things will improve.
Avatar f tn yes it could be from the xanax and it's not a good idea to take it much. Effexor can help with depression but also made me feel detached and impotenet so I no longer take it and take welbutrin instead. I'm not sure if it's helping but at least I won't have that problem.
Avatar f tn no no non no! xanax is a VERY dangerously addictive drug! the withdrawal symptoms can be devastation! please you must ease yourself off xanax immediately, all xanax does is mask your anxiety temporarily it does NOT cure anxiety or depression. it's like putting a band aid on a wound that needs stitches. There are many different types of drugs out there to help, may i suggest lexapro, lexapro is an antidepressant used for treating depression and anxiety. talk to your doctor about lexapro.
1453232 tn?1285171948 A week is a rather short period of time from which to withdraw from Xanax. .25 milligrams may seem like such a small amount, but Xanax is a powerful drug. It seems you went through a rapid detox, which some treatment centers seem to feel is an ideal method. The process is to keep you from seizing up while rapidly withdrawing you from the drug. For the most part, they accomplish this. But, the problem isn't what happens in the detox center, it is what happens once you get home.
Avatar f tn Why would you want to add a benzo to your regime for depression? It will only cause your depression to get worse if you don't have any other symptoms, as well - it's only used short term, because of the high addiction rate. I would check to see if your med should be upped or augmented with another AD med. Have you been to see a psychiatrist yet?
Avatar m tn My question is, are the symptoms I experience side effects of Depakote or withdrawal from Xanax???? Please help me!!!!! I am sttill taking .5 Xanax Xr in the mn and .5 in the evening so it is still there, I've just reduced the dosage!!! I also take small dosage of 600mg lithium, 25mg of lamictal and 2.5mg o Lexapro a day. Most of them my pdoc wants to get rid off. Thanks!!
1237495 tn?1268837283 t feel like I even exist, random heart palpitations through the day where my heart is POUNDING in my chest at 60bpm or racing every once in awhile, horrible feelings of suffocation/breathing problems throughout the day, and some other symptoms. I am now afraid to go anywhere without Xanax in my pocket and afraid to go anywhere that I feel emergency help isn't close and accessible.
Avatar n tn Taking xanax for any length of time can result in severe withdrawal symptoms. The symptoms that you describe are identical to some self-reports of xanax withdrawal that I have read. Your dad needs medical attention immediately, and a supervised withdrawal if at all possible, as withdrawal can be very severe. This post is very old, however I felt it necessary to answer the question in full so that others who find this post may refer to my response.
Avatar n tn ve been diagnosed with PTSD, Major Depression, and Panic Disorder. I was on Lexapro for a year or so, and prozac for 2-3 years before that. I've was off of antidepressants for about 6 months now, but continued with .5mg on xanax 3 times a day. On Saturday I collapsed back into a breakdown. I haven't eaten or slept for the last 4 days, and i keep pacing back and forth and have waves of constant anxiety. I can't sit still, and my heart keeps racing.
Avatar m tn ive been taking remeron for 1 month now(30mg) with xanax(1mg 4/day) and had bad nausea problems, constipation, and and vomiting so my doctor told me to stop the remeron. how long does remeron take to leave your system?
