I have been taking tryptomer 25 for serveral years but due to shortness of breath Doctor adviced me to take lonazep 1mg anf fluoxetine 20. He told me to stop tryptomer 25 but i cannot stop it.

Is there any problem taking lonazep, tryptomer and sertraline 50 togather? ## Tryptomer contains the active ingredient Amitriptyline, it is an antidepressant.

I took Fluoxetine for 3 weeks last month. The side effects were too unbearable to manage. Every single day I felt nausea, dizzy, foggy headed, blurred vision, more anxious and panicky as ever, constantly tired all the time, bad insomnia, and rapid heart rate. I decided at week 4 to quit cold turkey. I noticed after a few days of not taking the med, I surprisingly felt better. I haven't so far experienced any withdrawal symptoms. My energy has returned, most of my side effects has gone away, and for some reason I'm functioning well without it. It's weird, but I think it's a blessing. Now what is weird to me is that I let my doctor know that I quit the med. I told her what I experienced everyday taking the med, and that I just couldn't take it anymore. Of course she ad...

I have been on nuzak for about eight day's for anxiety. If anything i am worse. Can barely function or get out if bed.Should i persevere as i desperatly want some quality of life back. ## Hello, Juliet! How are you? Nuxak is list as containing the active ingredient Fluoxetine and it is normal for things to worsen for a few weeks, before it reaches its full level of efficacy in the body and starts alleviating such symptoms. I've found that it usually takes about 3 weeks. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. If things don't improve after a couple weeks, then you should consult your PCP as it may not be the right medication to help you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi, I have been on Nuzak for ab...

I have had depression since 2nd week of December last year. First of all the general practitioner put me on following combination i.e. fluoxetine, tripiline (spelling?) and sleeping tablet (Zolpidem). 3 months ago I went to a Psychiatrist due to bad insomnia. He put me on Mirteron, starting with 15mg, month later increased it to 30mg, and last month to 45mg – these I take at night 21h00pm. At 22h00pm I take a Zolpidem sleeping table (10mg). My sleep is average 4-5 hours (22h00pm – 03h00am). My depression has shown an increase but not desired effect. Therefore the psychiatrist prescribed Venlor 75mg. After taking my 1st tablet yesterday morning (08h00am), I felt so drugged, and I have no emotions whatsoever. Is this normal? I just want to make sure before I phone my psychiatrist

Can this medication cause severe heartburn. I've taken it for about a week, with no problems. And now i just took one and i have a had severe heartburn for about 40 min. Debating if its that or a heart attack. ## Hello, Mandy! How are you? A heart attack does not feel like heart burn. However, any time that you're in doubt, rather than posting on a free website and waiting for an answer, it is always best to consult a doctor. All medications carry the risk of causing heart burn, GERD and etc., especially if you don't take them with a full, 8 ounce glass of water. How are you feeling, now? ## I'm taking the exact same like, same dosage as well and I'm feeling the same hell as you are.. but you should talk to your doctor about changing your meds because it's a horr...

I am taking 1,000mg a day of metformin. I walk everyday. Can I take adipotrim xt? ## Hello, Anna! How are you? Adipotrim XT was just a supplement product and it was actually found to not live up to its claims to aid in weight loss. There were so many complaints and problems that the manufacturer issued a voluntary recall in 2013, which is listed with the FDA and they later removed it form the market entirely. It was also found to contain an undeclared drug ingredient, Fluoxetine, which is an SSRI antidepressant that may be dangerous for some people to take. The only places it is available now is on the secondary market, via people that stocked up, before stores ran out. Thus, I really have to advise that you stay away from it. If you need to lose weight, your doctor should be able to he...

I have just come from the doctor now and she prescribed Alzam 0.25 mg and says I must take half a tablet when needed. I went to her to discuss full blown menopause which is what I have. The symptoms are very extreme with me having severe headaches and feeling very emotional at times. Some times I feel a little down in the dumps and I would cry. These are all symptoms of menopause including insomnia, irritability, mood swings, hot flushes and night sweats amongst other things. I am so skeptical about filling out this script, especially after reading how habit forming the drug is. Also the withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it. I don't like the side effects of the drug as it will make me feel exactly the same as I'm feeling now. Maybe even worse! Any advice out there for men...
