...@brat17 I will talk to my psychiatrist about these medications.... I've not taken either but, I have been asked about taking them a few times. SSRI's and SNRI's have helped me with depression, but I still have had bad anxiety. It may be awhile before I get to see my doctor so, I am trying...

Others have said it - Effexor is not a drug you go on for a slight help with seasonal depression and then go off again. This was your GP, or a psychiatrist? A simple SSRI is more the right idea, but what are you on for the bipolar, and why aren't they adjusting that? (Just curious)

...I'm about to start Lamictal and since being very sensitive to medicines (feels like my nervous system is hypersensitive after trying too many SSRI in a short time) my doctor decided to start very low at 2.5 mg - (yes a tenth part of the normal initial dose!!). I'm not bipolar, neither do I...

...my therapist wanted me to get an as needed medication for my panic attacks. My doctor said that it might be better to put me on a low dose SSRI until I can get the anxiety in check. Well, it's been a week and I feel weird. I feel like I have TMJ all of a sudden, and my head has been...

...in class and have to plug my ears. Which feels really embarrassing. I am not on medication at the moment. I took a small dose of an SSRI, a couple years ago and maybe it helped with noise a little bit, but I also wasn't as exposed to school and needing to be concentrating at all times. I...

...Pharmacology The first line of defense for biological or psychotic based depression types is Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor's (SSRI's) and Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor's (SNRI's). There are then older medication types such as Tricyclic's (TCA's) and Irreversible...

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced incredible wellbeing on the first day of taking an SSRI. I did. The drug also made me manic later on and was discontinued for that reason (I'm not manic-depressive). But the second day I was on it I felt WONDERFUL. No anxiety. I could...

...this-I am struggling with this right now-for about two weeks now after my Psych added Bipolar II to my diagnosis and stopped cold my ADHD med, SSRI, Trazadone, and Celexa and prescribed seroquel in their place...? it took about three days before I was praying for the fog to come back to hide...

...think at that point regression set in. I final saw a mental health NP who suggested a genetic swab for pshyc meds. Since I had tried 5 different ssri's I was then started on an antiphsycotic , SEROQUEL, which did help with flashbacks .I felt good for the first month and then starting on a...

...two diagnoses. I'm sharing that so you know that I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who needs medication to manage. Traditional SSRIs do not typically address deeper levels of depression very effectively. You can also get a faster response off of Lamictal. Which also means...

...it is helping. I think it got me through some tasks and out the door even though my mood had not lifted. Part of that can be the thyroid which I'm also dealing with. We will look at the ssri next month. I think the klonopin got me out the door. The rest of me will come back one day I know.

Actually, it's an NDRI (norepinephrine-dopamine re-uptake inhibitor). All that really means, is it's a unique action, different from both SSRIs and SNRIs. It's initial purpose was as a stop-smoking aid; it was discovered after that it also had some unique properties in it's ability to amplify...

It took me well over 6m for the brain zaps(and other side effects) to stop after I slowly tapered off a very low dose of celexa. In only took the celexa for about 6m and at 10mg. Anything is possible. I find SSRI's to be awful. But that's just my system, too.

...you so much for the information on the gabapentin. My insurance means I have to try that first before trying anything else. I am already on an SSRI for depression (yay comorbidity) and take anxiety meds for my PTSD and anxiety. They are making me go off the mood stabilizer before starting the...

...you're both in couples counseling together, there is definitely a good chance that you will come to an understanding on the issue. Taking an SSRI (or really any psych med) on an irregular basis is a very bad idea. Not only will they not work, but most of them can cause withdrawal symptoms...

I should mention I'm yet to see a psychiatrist, the neurologist is arranging this but she said it's unlikely I will be able to take an ssri again and I'm having an mri next week. I am having talk therapy and joined another site for people affected by psychotropics. I never new they could be so...

...abuse events and from a medication reaction. I had a baby in 2013 and experienced post partum depression and insomnia. I got 'help' from an SSRI. This med caused a similar reaction to what you describe. My nervous system began to simply feel FEAR. Doctors later called this a manic...

...We discussed some medication options, and he wants me on 10mg abilify twice per day and xanax 10 drops three times per day, and then to add an SSRI and some benzoadiazepam-like stuff if I don't sleep. He calls this the low dose. I explained to him that there were two priorities for me to...

...my PTSD symptoms started after that episode. And came back after a very complicated and nearly fatal Surgery. He has treated me with EMDR and SSRI, with quite good effect om flash Backs and anxiety, but I am still unable to work, and getting stressede out in every small demanding situation. I...

thanks for that- I'd prefer to try a natural helathy supplement program anyways- amino's seem interesting. I was even open to test therapy if it had promise. I'm just realizing I may not be seeing the forest for the tree's so to speak, by being on the SSRI or SNRI's

Hey, Don't take benzodiazepines or sleeping pills. They said I can't tell you what to do. Benzodiazepines for me work too well for my PTSD symptoms, I feel happy normal motivated! And then I needed more, and more and more, and now I'm in NA. They ruined my life, I had a 4.o and now I'm failing...

This isn't always true, but it can happen - and it's not only lamictal - as far as I know it's mostly SSRI's, and mood stabilizers that can present this problem. It depends on the person and the circs. My favorite writer went off his meds, then started them up again and ended up killing himself...

...skies-that mirrored my waning sunshine, and a thought came to me: just after this recent aggravation, I switched to the generic form of my SSRI. Now, 7 weeks later, could I be worse due to the generic drug and not just from the trauma? Could this be why I am I so depressed-that I want to lie...
