...and will lose their efficacy over time, which can lead to a difficult cycle of needing more of the drug to achieve the same effects. Finally, SSRI, SNRI and Tricyclic-type antidepressants can all be prescribed to relieve anxiety symptoms. These medications will come with varying degrees of...

...a whole other class of medications can be. In one recent case, a benzodiazepine was mentioned and many people replied about the dangers of SSRI's. Not at ALL the same thing. Irrelevant comparison. Not to mention the fact that people react to different medications and various therapies in...

Nothing's really changed. Also, when I have stopped an SSRI in this period, the drowsiness basically went away. It just started getting worse as I increased my Zoloft dosage. My depression is nothing new. I've been struggling with it for years, and it never caused me to sleep all day. I...

...for me to remember without the help of medication. She wanted me to start taking Effexor and work up to the dose where it turns from a SSRI into a SNRI. Before I reached the intended dose I began getting flooded with memories and flashbacks, sometimes hours a day. I'm hardly sleeping and...

...to wean myself off that - it took about 6 months!! Meditation and exercise work better and have a better overall effect on your whole life. I hate the way Drs put people on such high doses and totally minimise the effects even when their patient is telling them it's bad. Im off ssri s for life

...As has been written in this thread... Medical marijuana, like any medication, is NOT a cure-all and it is NOT for everyone. Think about how many SSRI's there are, Prozac and about ten others now and what do you do? A psychiatrist takes depressed patients down the list. Some people are not...

...help me much as much as I can remember (this was in 2011- and when I went off it, it was the worst withdrawal and coming off a antidepresent/ssri that I had ever experienced) . I was on Zoloft twice in my life. It seemed to be like hitting the anxiety and other cptsd bits all on one, and I...

...than I used to be. My Doctor thinks this is severe depression. My Therapist doesn't think it's depression and does not recommend I go on an SSRI. Between the two of them I'm trying to apply for disability. My PTSD keeps me from driving and I've consistently had a hard time staying...

...bother telling it. Anyway, we thought perhaps that Wellbutrin may not be a bad idea. So I was put on that today. I understand it is not an SSRI, which I really don't do well on. SO will be watching me carefully to see what happens with my reactions to this. I understand the first...

Nope, no meds for me though when I was high risk for suicide I did an SSRI for a year. My shrink was emphatic about my ability to bring myself up in coping skills and tools. I agreed and did the uncomfortable thing... and endeavored to learn how to manage. Totally worth it but really it does...

I should add that I tried the Lamictal after I had failed ALL SSRI AND SNRI options.

...you where you want to go. But, the meds that will are very likely to contribute to sleepiness. Wellbutrin has a unique action (it's not an SSRI or SNRI), serves as adjunct to other meds really well, helps with mid-level anxiety and depression, and doesn't cause sleepiness or weight gain...

You need to take any medication slowly as we all react differently. I found that SSRI's and Prozac in particular turned me into a dancing peanut. (Picture Snoopy and the gang). Yes, I was "up" from my depression but I also couldn't sleep and became manic. Work with your doctor and take any...

...Adjustment Disorder. Another diagnosis that I received was "Underlying Bipolar Disorder. " I got this just because I had a manic reaction to an SSRI. This diagnosis is complete BS. The med caused the effects because I could not process it correctly due to a genetic issue that I have with...

My doctor thinks increasing my SSRI will help. I've tried and on the days I do that I notice my thoughts get very,very dark. I become more depressed and almost hopeless. It took me a while to make the connection. For now, I will stick to the low dose of SSRI and see what else can be done...

...and in one what way(s). So for example, if part of the damage to the limbic system impacts serotonin and cortisol regulation/production, then SSRI/SNRI might be able to help, since those meds were originally designed to help with serotonin issues in general and were simply marketed towards...

...magnesium levels, and how's your sleep? Sometimes addressing those two can be a corrective 'lift'. The typical prescription for a low grade situational depression would be an SSRI, Prozac or Zoloft. They can be very good at addressing it. Are you getting any therapy support right now?

...It means a pervasive indirect communication style that veils underlying hostilities. Yes it's a diagnosis but he is not in therapy, he is on an SSRI. Examples: "Why didn't your kids learn manners?....Don't be fooled by one good conversation with your sister.....Why should I admire my son...

Sex - loving, intimate sex - to me, is the cement that binds our souls. Having said that, though, even after decades of relationships, my enjoyment of sex brought me shame, and when I lost trust in my husband, I wasn't able to have sex with him again because of that shame. I don't know which of...

...but Benzodiazepine's are also often used, and some studies suggest that these medications are still used with greater frequency than the SSRI's. Mode of Action Benzodiazepine's are so called because their core chemical structure is the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring...

Zoloft is another SSRI. Maois don't seem to be nearly as common, probably because of all the diet restrictions they used to have.

...I am 6 mos out from my last klonopin dose. I am very effected by psych meds. I had to take the klonopin due to a nervous system injury from an SSRI I took 4 years ago for just 5 mos. I have been thru a lot. The point I am making is that I use skills. I kept my job, I am a mother to two young...

Hi guys, It´s me, back from not being here a lot ;) This year has been like an avalanche of disasters and good things combined for me, so I´m pretty busy... It´s wintertime again and my brain hates winter... I get really bad PMDD (sadly the hormones haven´t taken care of that yet) and become...

I'm on an alpha blocker for cpps. However, took a natural approach which gives me the same results. Also traded the SSRI's for cannabis. Feel better mentally, physically and even my bowl movements are better.

I'm sinking into a depression. Not a candidate for ssri or snri medications. Failed Lamictal, Wellbutrin, no Cymbalta or Effexor. All SSRI's make be bat shit crazy.... Have a check up with psychiatrist on Wednesday. I've been taking a 1mg dose of Abilify. We were hoping that as we entered...
