5 Things You Should Be Told When Starting Medication for Anxiety and/or Depression | SSRI/SNRI. When being prescribed medications like Zoloft, prozac, Paxil, Cymbalta, lexapro, celesta or Effexor, its important to receive information about those medications so that you are taking them as safely as possible. Here’s my top 5 things I always discuss when prescribing these types of medications.

As Covid Vaccine mandates become more popular, I have a few thoughts as to what is ethically the right move here. Covid vaccination decreases spread of illness, and will decrease likelihood of transmission to patients. However the vaccine mandate may cause more nurses to leave already short staffed units, making working conditions more unsafe. And costing more lives in the end.

People prescribing these medications should explain exactly how they work so people are fully informed.

@DonnDenisse 5 месяцев назад

I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

@CARIBBEAN_365 5 месяцев назад

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

There is a small portion of people who will respond quickly to SSRIs according to the psychiatrist who prescribed Celexa to me. I felt better in 3 days on a low dose of 5 mg. That was all I needed. By starting at a low dose, I avoided the anxiety stuff. I never needed to increase the dose. I did gain 30 lbs. so watch what you eat!

@aly9402 6 месяцев назад

I was put on Celexa to help with anxiety, which the health system considers to be a symptom of depression. 4 weeks on celexa, I had to go to the ER on 3AM due to a severe panic attack and i couldn't wait til 6am for urgent care to open because I thought I was going to die. had to call an ambulance and everything horrible stuff. "To treat anxiety, we need to make it worse for a few weeks and cross are fingers that it was worth it." no thanks. also SSRIs don't work that fast, it doesn't matter how you think you "respond" to it. thats not enough time for it to work on your brain. placebo affect, which occurs in 25% (1 in 4) of SSRI users.

Hello I have a friend from Belgium in the states and take anxiety med but extended an extra month. He is stretching it out and I do not know too much about this situation but what signs do I look for to try to help.

@audreyheart2180 Год назад

@@podersa241 I am no authority / doctor; but I know neglect and abuse; and I know this deep sadness called depression. So, maybe your friend grew up in an environment where he wasn't respected or listened to, as much as he shdve. Like maybe, he didn't have a say, his feelings ignored; & was told abt his family leaving Belgium for the States, last minute... That and many other similar 'surprises' may have triggered the anxiety... Actions always speak louder than words; so no Words fr you or me, may heal your friend. He has to adapt to that which threatens his 'life': with fight; with flight; with freeze (sleep, hide, disappear, be drug-dependant), and/or with evolve (figure things out -spiritual healing is like personal style - it's unique and personal - it's like Covid virus mutating - fighting to survive). He can heal with good nutrition, clean air, enough sleep, maybe, drugs from a doctor who cares abt bad side effects on your kidney), and how abt making acquaintances with some really DECENT hardworking human beings? He also needs to cry out for help, to some Higher Power. Hope this helps .. 🧓🏼

@podersa241 Год назад

@@audreyheart2180 Thank you I do not think he wants help because I have tried but in return he has insulted me so I have to push away. He has no drug habits that I know of but he is socially awkward. I noticed that his uncomfortable behavior makes him insult me. I am not having that. Also he does not believe in GOD nor is he open at this time. So I am slowly withdrawing until he leaves.. I feel bad but at the same time I have to protect myself but I thank you so much for your words. That was so very deep. I have to re-evaluate my friendship with the person. He knows I am a GOD loving woman and he tries to tap at that. He will leave in a few days and I am not sure if we will be friends or not.

I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression many years ago, but a year ago I was diagnosed with RA. I've been experiencing a lot of pain associated with the RA, and it really is debilitating. So, my rheumatologist prescribed Cymbalta to help with the aches and pains, so I can be more physically active, which will in turn, make my quality of life at least a bit more normal and pain-free. I started taking Cymbalta Friday (March 10, 2023). At first, I thought, "I should be just fine. I'll probably sleep better on it." That first night, I had a really hard time not only falling asleep but staying asleep. Took it the next day, and it made me feel nauseous, and kind of moody. Took it Sunday (today), and again felt sick to my stomach and had a really deep sense of depression, but not quite depression. I hope if I take it earlier in the day, I can get over feeling nausea within a few hours, so I don't spend all day, every day feeling sick. So far, I haven't experienced a lot of aches and pains, so at least it's already helping with that; I just really hope the difficulty with sleep and nausea go away quickly.

@cin337 Год назад

@rhodakozak1205 Год назад

@@cin337 So, my rheumatologist has me taking 2 pills a day (which I think is 40mg). Doing much better! The nausea and moodiness seem to have abated. I am able to be more physically active, which actually is helping with my range of motion, strength and endurance. I still have a ways to go, and will probably never be completely back to normal, but not being in nonstop pain was the overall goal. My next goal is to increase my flexibility and strength. Cymbalta is worth it for my situation. Everyone is different and will respond differently to it. I have a coworker who is also taking Cymbalta and it doesn't do much for them and they're at a higher dose than I am. Then again, they're situation and mine are very different.

I suggest taking a genetic test before taking an SSRI. For me, SSRI's would make me unbelievably agitated/aggressive and depressed, as well as cause chronic diarrhea and weird wavy/electrical sensations up and down my entire back which caused me to want to just lie down all day. After trying 4 or 5 different SSRI's and a new doctor, she decided to do a genetic test which revealed all SSRI's are completely off the table for me. Makes it a little bit more difficult to treat panic and anxiety, but we could have skipped the hellish side effects part of experimenting with SSRI's.

@ReneeStAmant 7 месяцев назад

What kind of genetic test would reveal this?

@jasonsadler361 7 месяцев назад

@@ReneeStAmant I’m not sure of the “type”, but was a test my provider ordered and was covered by my insurance. Listed out common medications and color-coded them red, green and yellow. I think they’re based on an aggregation of others who share the same genetic mutations. Outside of medications, my test also showed some other interesting info. I.e. the MTHFR mutation. I’ve been asking my dad to get it done because I bet we share the same mutation and might explain the heart issues he faced that stumped his cardiologists as to how he could have 98% blockages at 58 y/o while having been, and being, so fit and active all of his life. That’s much more on the speculative side of things on my part anyway, but it was pretty eye-opening to me after seeing the results and the mutations pairing up with a couple of the diagnoses I’ve already had, on top of the medications thing.

@ReneeStAmant 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad the test gave you some interesting leads and especially helped to explain you probable interaction with SSRIs. Thanks! @@jasonsadler361

Great advice, from someone who is on Lexapro. Doctors should be telling people all of this, my doctor only mentioned possible loss of libido or stomach upset. The medication works great but these things are kinda essential to know. You can't just start and stop the medication willy nilly. Also therapy should also be recommended by doctors alongside medication. Some people might do well for just therapy on its own.

Holy moly I use to take the original cymbalta less side effects and worked way better over 15 years try the generic brand made me so ill I tried it three years ago same thing my body rejects it the driest mouth I ever had in my life , insomnia anxiety more aches and pains headache low low blood pressure sweats bad , nervous, nauseous, fatigue brain fog felt more depressed, but more anxiety than depressed, no appetite, lost weight tmj issues tendinitis ear ringing, I tell you what I stopped taking it within before. A week , I had some side effects muscle spasms and brain and body zaps , I rather have that then be in the ER all I'll and messed up from that darn cymbalta and I changed diet I fast , I exercise i try new foods, I was pretty out of it when I was taking it , it is not for me , the all meds have changed for the worse more and different chemicals into your body , well it does not agree with me and I cant take it ever again although I tried one last time , of it , I was taking the lowest dose 20mg the most i ever took was 90 mg and it is an addicting med , I hope you get better and know your not the only one going through this , you can stop that med when you do realize the side effects are there but not as bad as taking that posion, take care of yourself and God bless you , I hope this encourage you and help you somehow

Also, my dr had me try phentermine to help with my post pardum weight, which was working great, but like i told her i asked for something to help with the moodiness of the phentermine, but as she says you cant take the both of them together which doesn't help me. So now, my 4th day on the zoloft, and its been wonky one day had me upbeat, next day was tired as crap & like no patience. I am just concerned that since i work with the public if I am tired all the time & cranky at my customers i could get talked to.

The body is obviously saying “no.” Why would anyone prescribe this to people already struggling with anxiety and thoughts of self harm? Another thing they don’t tell you is that the body builds a tolerance to it and they give you a higher and higher dose which can make it nearly impossible for people to eventually taper off. I have seen people get serotonin syndrome where their limbs were flailing uncontrollably while they were in so much physical pain all because of taking SSRIs for years. I don’t get how everyone just accepts this as the go to treatment when there are so many other options now and it’s obviously so incompatible with the body. The other options need to be made available to everyone. I imagine pharmaceutical companies have a big influence on that.

I'm going to try to get off the suboxone after approximately 🔟 to 12 years and try to not take anything if possible! Long-term use of subs can cause even permanent damage and so can SSRI'S and I think the doctors are using us a lab rats to warp and manipulate our minds, bodies and souls.

you need to go over the liquid stuff. That's the stuff I've been put on, I'm too young for the actual pill.

My friend is on lexapro n worried about side effects. Loss of libido is more concerning to her as she has just started a relationship. What can be done about it?

Nothing about the potentially permanent sexual dysfunction/numbing?

What can I do for the nausea?! It’s driving me nuts. First day had a headache out of this world but that simmered down. I’m dealing with nausea, light headache and sweating like crazy

Have some peppermint tea for the nausea, it has no caffeine and it's nice with honey. My nausea was the absolute worst in the first couple weeks but the tea definitely helped :3

Hi there I’m on Wellbutrin 150 and I feel tired later in the day I’m panicking about it I just started Oct 13th. My doctor said it’s only in a handful of people that there is tiredness but I was reading actually a lot of people feel this

I'm taking sertraline, on night 3 I woke up with my heart racing, is that a normal side affect? Im thinking about quitting it tho and maybe getting something new, I just really can't stand this increase in my anxiety.
