The primary doctor said i have virual virus do to allergies, so i saw my doctor who precribed me the Zoloft he said not take zoloft for two weeks until i get better from this virual virus then try the zoloft again if you have reaction to it stop the zoloft then wait a week and try different medicine called citalpram 20mm. i am so sacred to taking any medicine because i am so sentitive to medicine anyway.
I have several chronic pain conditions and have been on heavy duty pain meds for years. I have been weaning off as fast as I can as I was planning on getting pregnant next year sometime. However... life throws you surprises and well here I am. I am on methadone and morphine. I'm down to only 5-10mg of methadone and 15-30mg of morphine daily. I am still having pain and need some amount to make life tolerable. However I know it's horrible for baby! Any tips?
Yes, anxiety and depression will contribute, but I also agree with the post above. I deal with anxiety and depression myself, so I know it's only part of the picture. Do ask about this test.
One home remedy you can try is making a decoction (a way of making tea from roots and seeds) with ginger root. It is easy to make and inexpensive. It either works for you or it doesn't, but at least it isnt outrageously expensive like the Zofran is.
i was bound to an opiate addiction for almost 10 yrs due to chronic pain and am now 2 and a half yrs sober. i had a hypothyroidism problem as well, and was prescribed medicine to help with metabolism. to give you an update as to where i am today... i am still taking methadone for chronic pain. i stopped taking zoloft 2 months ago at my own volition and do NOT take any SSRIs. i no longer have a thyroid problem, and no longer need to take medicine for it.
To be honest I think the lack of motivation to being creative is what is affecting me on a creative level. My lack of motivation must be because of chronic pain and depression because of it too. Anyway, I want to avoid stimulants as I have muscle spasms issues which is probably causing my chronic occipital neuralgia.
You can also try to get off the medication and go with a more natural approach such as St John's Wort, healthy diet, exercise etc.
I started at 25mg for a week and then 50mg for a month and then 75mg for another month up to 100mg where I stayed for 3 months. I got better and went back down to 50mg and then quit altogether after 8 months of treatment. I did great. No problems at all. Fast forward to October 2015 and I got a back injury followed by a health scare after an affair while I was separated in summer 2014. Found out I was pregnant and diagnosed with ectopic though it turned out to be a blighted ovum.
I developed sever depression and anxiety after I got hurt and had to have several surgeries and now live with chronic pain. For my nerve pain I took Valium for about 18 months. I would also use the Valium to help with my anxiety because I had it so why not. My pain management dr started me on Zoloft and it helped with my depression and anxiety.
After about 8 months I started taking lyrica for my nerve pain so I no longer needed to have Valium.
I have been taking Zoloft for over 2 years now and last year I began having severe sweating attacks. I call them attacks because they come on like a hot flash and in minutes I will have soaked a shirt to where you can ring it out! I have them at night and my pillow will be so wet, that it drips off the corner. this is no exaggeration, other symptoms are fatigue, insomnia, blurred vision, dizzy, weight gain, weakness and trembling. My testosterone has dropped to 90 from 190.
It's true, for many people a drug doesn't work again after you stop taking it. It's usually after you've been on a drug for a long time. But for many other people, they do work again and again and again. You've already done it twice and it worked twice, so for you so far you haven't had this problem. And it doesn't mean you get more side effects, it means the drug doesn't work, which usually means fewer side effects.
i have headaches, dizzyness and nausea, a fuzzy feeling as if i have cotton in my brain, severe joint and muscle pain and i could go on.. i am so tired i just think about when i can go to sleep. ...consequntly i have a feeling of guilt and depression because i am always saying i don t feel well. i am 54 and feel 84. i feel as if i have the flu and u wait to feel better...but it never comes.
I have taken Zoloft for over 15 years for depression. It says that dry eye/eye pain can be a symptom of zoloft and other anti-depressents.
I also take Melatonin to help with sleep almost every night.
Just curious to see if there is any pattern to what may be causing this. If you have Recurrent Corneal Erosion and you take either melatonin or Anti-depressents, please let me know.
Maybe there is a common thread?
thanks!!
Im currently 21 weeks pregnant and im taking 25mg of zoloft for my depression and anxiety and now i have kidney stones so im taking the antibiotic macrobid, phengran for nausea and tylenol 3 for the pain of the kidney stones my question is, is it ok to take these medications together im scared that taking all these meds will hurt my baby
I've taken 25mg Zoloft for 6 days and 50mg for 2 days. Anxiety is better generally all day yesterday but even with Lunesta, only slept 2 hours and then off and on for the rest of the night. Woke up anxious. I believe if I could get more sleep, it would help my anxiety. Original cause for meeting with my doc was for insomnia. Does sleeping get better?
Hi, my name is Lukas, I am 18 years old (19 in September) and have an unusual case of neuromuscular pain that I've suffered from since I was 10 years old, but all of the doctors I've seen say that my condition could most likely be fibromyalgia or some type of chronic neuromuscular pain, but are still perplexed at my condition. I've already seen a Rheumatologist although the pain is not in the joints, just the muscles. I have also seen my family practitioner.
Zyban is a very effective medicine to help stop smoking. You need to take it for 10-14 days before it starts to work, so pick a date - say 2 weeks away - that you want to quit smoking, and start taking the Zyban immediately.
Zoloft is NOT used for smoking cessation - Zoloft is almost exclusively used for depression, though sometimes it can be used for chronic pain as the pain often depletes the body's ability to deal with stress.
