    Fibro Just diagnosed with fibromyalgia

    ...sleep, those lucky people are fine again. A low dose of some types of antidepressants helps counteract the sleep disorder. A low dose of a SSRI worked for me. It did cause improvement, but whenever I get a flare up I go back to not sleeping. Fibromyalgia and PTSD is a bad combination for...

    How do i not worry people with my depression?

    ...today. My pharmacist is pretty awesome. He pointed out that the med that I was taking before was Luvox (Fluvoxamine), the only first generation SSRI still in widespread use and the risk is lower with Wellbutrin. I also scheduled to see my new primary care doc on Friday to follow up. I am on...

    Ssris Suck

    SSRI's are not noted to help with PTSD so I have never understood the desire to prescribe them for this. Yes, they help with depression, to a point. They help with anxieties, to a point. The problem is they also come with side affects, some severe. There is just no research to back this up, I...

    Does effexor help reverse amnesia?

    No experience with Effexor. Nor any other SSRI/SSNRI. Although I have taken Strattera (NRI) That said? Almost any/every mood & mind altering substance I've ever taken -but especially ones that lower anxiety & inhibitions while increasing good feelings- has let me think about things that are...

    These medications are ruining my life

    ...like nausea, flu like symptoms, OCD thoughts all the time. I am SO excited to just have CPTSD at some point soon. My withdrawal from the SSRI during post partum depression was hellish and traumatizing (after following my doctor's taper plan of 50 percent cuts). I had to take the klonopin...

    Does effexor help reverse amnesia?

    ...as part of a symptom management strategy? I gotta say, 'she what? again. This is technically true - Effexor is only seratonergic (the S in SSRI) at low levels, and starts working with norepinephrine (the N in SNRI) at mid range doses, getting into dopaminergic (dopamine) interaction at max...

    Nervous of meds after feeling suicidal on ssri

    I can relate. I've never had the guts to try another SSRI after being on Paxil (Paroxatine hcl). The closest I've been willing to attempt was Effexor, which is an SNRI. Even that didn't go well. I stopped being able to eat after a few months. I would have starved myself to death if I didn't stop...

    Can i do anything?

    ...I'm sharp and able to pinpoint think about things. But the complete inability to regulate myself emotionally, etc.... what is going on with that? Can I ever fix or change that? Does meditating work for ptsd/ocd symptoms? I've decided not to take ssri's as they clog my brain up and I can't sleep.

    Hi CJ, I just did a search looking for an old thread, about continuing to prescribe SSRIs being a dereliction of the Hippocratic oath to "do no harm" Simply searching for "SSRI" should be unbiased... The results even surprised cynical me, they're almost all one way; =1"]Search Results for...

    Advice On Medications To Suggest - Seeing Psychiatrist For Second Time Today

    Since you said a variety of SSRI, I assume you tried Zoloft? And how long were you on those you tried? Regarding sleep, have you tried Ambien (Zolpidem)? And for anxiety, have you tried some other benzodiazepines? (E.g. Diazepam, Xanax)

    ...I recognize people have their own sources and information and nobody has the answers - or this would be easier right?. I am sure the guidelines for their use are different in different countries. It it is worth searching SSRI using CRT F and seeing what are the different guidelines saying.

    ...of a drug depends a lot on the person who is using them, and on your ability to perceive what the drug is doing to you. My experience with SSRI´s is that they work in a way, in which it can be difficult to discern (especially if long-term) the affect the drug is having on your brain, and on...

    Klonopin. How Slippery Of A Slope Are Benzodiazepines?

    ...spend a lot of time talking myself down. I don't take it otherwise because I don't want to have to take more to feel an effect, and quite frankly I don't want to go on an SSRI, which is what would be suggested if I were to use too many of them too often. It has really saved my butt a few times.

Dispite this he later took me off the ssri I was taking way too quickly and I got withdrawl the the few days following that. He also decided I was addicted to my Klonopin (it’s a benzo) and...
