Avatar n tn He was diagnosed with Major Depression with psychotic features. He has been on 20mg of Zyprexa, 100mg of Wellbutrin, 60 mg of Prozac for three years. Is this a normal course of treatment?
Avatar f tn I posted a question back in August about medication available for major depression whilst having SVT's and Long QT. I thought I would update everyone that replied, on my outcome.

Avatar m tn I am trying to get something in writing to show that this decision does not follow within the accepted guidelines for treatment of his form of Hepititis. I believe the Dr. in Az. may have made this decision not realizing he did not have a 12 week blood sample. My son is 43 years old and in otherwise good health. He has not had any symptoms of Hep C nor has he had any side effects from the treatments.

Avatar f tn I just got results back from a QME psychologist that stated I had MDD and was at risk for suicide. The report suggested that I get an appointment with a psychiatrist for medication for depression and anxiety. It has been over a month and I h ave heard nothing. When I asked my lawyer she said we would have to keep trying to get it to go through. I feel very anxious and depressed and feel like I can do nothing to myself feel better.
Avatar m tn As opposed to European (EASL) 2012, Asian-Pacific (APASL) 2012, American (AASLD) 2009, and World Health Organisation (WHO) 2015 major guidelines for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis B, the following 3 guidelines are more strict on the conditions leading to necessity of treatment for Hepatitis B, HBeAg negative carriers: Canadian 2009, Japanese (JSH) 2013, and UK/British (NICE) 2013 guidelines are more "strict" when it comes to treatment of negative HBsAg patients, especially in the
Avatar m tn I am 20 years old and I have been diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder about a year ago now. I began taking medication asap because I had attempted suicide just days before my doctors appt. For a little while after I started medication, it helped a lot. But soon it faded and I began taking higher and higher dosages. Now I am on my second or third different drug, still having to up the dosage every few weeks.
Avatar f tn Hi I have posted a question in the heart rhythm forum but I am hoping that maybe someone will be able to help me here. I have major depression but my GP hasn't been able to find any medication that I can use as I also have Long QT and many antidepressants could cause a cardiac arrest (which I have had before) - I have been suffering depression for the last 4 - 6 months and after my mother's death 10 days ago I am ready to just give up.
Avatar m tn There are 3 major Hepatitis B guidelines, 2 out of which are written after 2010: - Asian-Pacific one: http://apasl.info/apasl/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Guideline-HBV-2012-update.pdf - European one: http://www.easl.eu/assets/application/files/ef520780b91cf4f_file.
Avatar f tn I'm sorry not a lot of people responded to your post. I do 95% agree with ILADVOCATE. The info he gave you is pretty much on target. I wish I could tell you that this type of Depression would just go away like the flu or cold, but unfortunatly that is not usually the case. The only 5% left that I was talking about is HOPE. You never know what new treatments are around the corner and that means hope for a cure or maybe even a treatment so good that it eliminates 100% of our symptoms.
209591 tn?1267414714 Yes I have read up on him, I really do not know what my doctor's next course of action will be, I have not heard from his office since they called with the test results. I am due to see him next Thursday, but in the mean time I am sitting here driving myself crazy, trying to figure out if I will have to go through this mess the rest of my life. Trying to figure out if I will ever get back to the way I was before Lyme Disease, I am only 25.
2011699 tn?1328933353 A serious potential side effect of Hep C treatment is depression. People who suffer depression while taking treatment, people who have thoughts of suicide or self-harm or people with a family history of depression should be encouraged to access support and counseling. Anyone with a history of depression should be monitored throughout their treatment to make sure that treatment is not causing a major depressive episode.
408795 tn?1324935675 But no matter what the cause of Major Depression the treatment is still the same. The most effective treatment for Major Depression is a combination of psychopharmaceutical treatment and therapy. As the LA treatment center's web page says "An interferon-alpha induced mood disorder is very simply a depressive disorder that is caused by HCV treatment." Cheers!
Avatar f tn Melancholic depression is honestly just the same as Major Uni-polar depression. Just a different twist on the name. The treatment options are the same as with Uni-polar depression. If I recall correctly, Melancholic depression is just like major Depression but a bit less cronic and severe. It's just an acronim that Psychiatrist use to target the actual severity of the condition. Just pretty much the same as Major depression.
Avatar m tn I have been taking various depression medications for about 15 years after being diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depression. I developed the PTSD in 1993. I'm a retired police officer, but I did my full 25 years and retired 2 years ago. My problem right now is that my anxiety is never under control, and a good analogy would be that feeling you'd get if you had to slam on your brakes to avoid running over a kid. I'm like that 24/7.
Avatar f tn Double Depression is when you typically have long term depression (which is not as bad as major depression), then on top of this long term depression you have periods of major depression. That's what they call double depression.
