Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that there shouldn't be any contraindication to taking Ibuprofen, Acetominophen or Aleve with those two medications.
Hope that helps!
Often options include trying other meds with less of this particular side effect (for depression/anxiety often pristiq, effexor, cymbalta) or adding another med to the sertraline such as wellbutrin/bupoprion. It can take some trial and error but it can get better!
I have melancholic depression, and fatigue/numbness/anhedonia are some of my biggest issues. I am currently on 100 mg of zoloft/sertraline and I have been for almost a year now. It hasn't had any negative effects, I haven't gotten more depressed, but the positive effects have been minimal. Mostly I just cry less and am better at redirecting my emotions (ie I dwell less). These are nice effects but I am still depressed.
Thanks so much. I am the "DD" and right now the only place hub goes is to the drs, and he drives his car around the block once every ten days or so to keep the wheels from getting flat spots. Hub was more alert today, even got up and took out the trash and recycling, walked around a bit,and generally felt better. The real test will be Tues and Wed - he takes his shot Mon night and that always amps up the anxiety. Maybe interferon kicks in the adrenalin.
Me off Wellbutrin stinks...me on Wellbutrin...perfect therefore I take it and seizure risk is far from my mind. Not something I worry about at all. So will you be better on the meds or off? Right now I'm thinking that you should give it a try. And don't Google stuff...it is just going to cause more problems.
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.
Yesterday was my first day on it, and I woke up today gasping for air, and have had shortness of breath off and on since. My doc just told me to stop taking it and go back to sertraline, however I had already taken the pristiq, so we'll see what happens.
Some really good news though is that I was able to use some tips from my therapist to shorten the panic attack I got from the sudden loss of breath.
I was at my wits end because of the symptoms and went to my doctor, two months ago, who prescribed sertraline for depression? Since posting here i have just gone and looked up Sertraline. It seems the side effects of that are very similar to withdrawal symptoms? Like i said i was getting symptoms before i started the Sertraline. In hindsight though it does seem to have gotten worse. Just let me add, when i went to my doctor it was more for my physical symptoms than mental ones.
I take wellbutrin and will throughout my pregnancy. Some meds are safer than others during pregnancy. Talk with your provider. The baby is important, but if mommy is stressed bc of stopping her mental health meds abruptly, then baby will suffer in the end anyways.
After unsuccessfully attempting several types of medication (Nortrilene, Valdoxan and Sertraline) I have now been given Wellbutrin XL. I take 150mg once a day in the morning but after only a few days on this I started feeling really argumentative and aggressive. My Pysch told me it was early days and he wanted me to continue so I have for the last three weeks, but these effects are not improving and I still feel really depressed. I also cry at everything now.
Hello Doctor,
I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and my GP put me on Wellbutrin XL 150mg. I went back to him at the beginning of January and he upped the dosage to 300mg. Since I had just filled my prescription for 150, he told me to take 2 until they were finished. I didn't have a problem until I got the 300mg pill (January 20). I usually take the pill with food, but it seems that by 1-3pm, I start to get weak and nauseated.
To get about the same result you had with Nefazodone with no weight gain I would recommend sertraline (Zoloft) combined with Wellbutrin XL. To get a significant antagonizing effect to your 5-HT2 receptors you would need mirtazapine but it is related with weight gain so I would try the Zoloft with Wellbutrin XL which will basically in a SNDRI like Nefazodone and see how it goes.
did not want to take responsibility for that area of my health) I have a follow up on my change from 50 mgs of sertraline to 100 mg and a decrease of wellbutrin of 300 down to 150 a day in 2 weeks. The sertraline has taken my already somewhat lack of interest in sex to a null completely. I know this is a side effect, pretty common one.
I'm a 30yr old male. I was on Sertraline approx 10 years ago for depression and it seemed to work until a crash. For one reason or another over the years, my treatment has changed several times. It is 2011 and i have found my way back to sertraline. I am currently taking 10mg of buspirone 2x day and 15mg of mirtazapine for major depression and generalized anxiety. I have been feeling constantly tired, apathetic and despondent.
Hello everyone, I need so advice on what I can do or take to help increase my sex drive. I am 31 yrs old and take a 100mg of Sertraline (a generic for Zoloft) everyday and I have no sex drive. My husband is understanding but getting impatient! I am even getting impatient!! I don't want to switch meds because these work for me. I am wondering if anyone has the same problem and what they are doing to help them. Are there any supplements I can take with these meds to help?
Depends on your md but zoloft and wellbutrin( no clue how to spell that) are frequently prescribed to pregnant women. Also depends on how severe the depression is a risks vs benefits thing. As far as anxiety not really sometimes anti depressants help. My md said take benadryl, it doesn't make you less anxious but makes you sleepy...
Hello everyone, three months ago I started with pgad, which is a condition that you feel unwanted sexual arousal, it is horrible, I couldn't even sleep, at some moments It goes away and others it will return.
I went to more than 12 different doctors, anyone knew what was happening.
I have ocd, this year is going to be my 5th year with ocd and with anxiety, with despersonalization and irreality.
I am currently taking sertraline for mood swings and have been taking it for about 5 years. I also have recently been put on topamax for migraines. I have read about all this wonderful weight loss. If anything I have gained. Could these 2 medicines together be holding me back from losing> I would like to go off of the sertraline.
I have been on Wellbutrin XR for some time and we tried switching to generic to see if it would eliminate the clonus and then switched back to name brand when it did not. Getting off the Wellbutrin is not really an option at this time as I lost my 13 year old son just over a year ago and am still grieving.
My question is:
A. Can a person have clonus and hyperreflexia on physical exam as a completely benign finding or is it always indicative of a problem?
B.

I am on 25mg sertraline, day 8 for anxiety and panic attacks - so far only really feeling the side effects and no real relief yet but am very hopeful given all the positive comments I've read online - if I can just last until it starts to kick in. Also hoping that I won't require a higher dosage.
