p0ls help how to prevent myself from side effects of nexito 10 ## Nexito contains the active ingredient Esctalopram, which is an SSRi antidepressant and there really isn't any way to avoid most side effects, they will happen, if they are going to happen. Some of them, such as nausea and dizziness may be prevented by making sure you don't take it on an empty stomach. However, if you experience others, they will usually just wear off with time, as your body gets used to the medication. Learn more Escitalopram details here.

How is Censpram 5 mg useful for type 2 diabetic patient. I am a type 2 diabetic patient and my doctor has prescribed me for avoiding switching to Insulin.

From what I've found, it's listed as containing Escitalopram, which is a type of antidepressant, so it's not going to do anything to help with diabetes from what I know of it. Have you tried asking your doctor? Are you sure that's the correct medication?

I used espiride for a year while breastfeeding, not realizing it is a antideppresant. That was in 2011. A few months ago my dr prescribed lexamil to me for chronic tired syndrome? I have gained 7kg in six months? Is espiride and lexamil more or less the same? I would rather use espiride? ## Hello, Es! How are you? Actually, the Espiride contains Sulpiride, which is an atypical antipsychotic, though it is also used to treat major depressive disorder, it is not an actual antidepressant. But the Escitalopram in the Lexamil is an SSRI class antidepressant. As to going back to it, have you discussed the issue with your doctor? What are you taking them to treat?

I switched from Zoloft to this generic of Lexapro (Escitalopram 10 mg.) as I was quite wired with Zoloft and couldn't cry. It has been about 8 weeks now and I am not feeling better on the Escitalopram or that it is doing anything. This script is from Walmart with notation (1/G) on front and (250) on back of pill with bold 448 on pkg. of pills to note manufacturer. Is there a difference with manufacturers and drug stores as far as potency? Has anyone else used this particular one? If so, what was your results? ## Hello, Tony! How are you? Actually, it's just likely the Lexapro isn't working for you and you'll need to try something else. There are many others available that you can discuss with your doctor. What are you taking it to treat? ## Thanks Verwon for replying. I ...

I'm diagnosed as having Bipolar 2. I take Lamictin 25 - 1x tablet twice a day, Trepiline - 2x tablet @night, Dopaquel - 1x @night, Escitalopram - 1.5 in the morning, Urbanol - 2x tablets a day. I'm trying to loose about 5kg. I'm watching my eating habits & I use my Orbitrack 3x a day for 30 minutes. I have not lost 1kg in 2weeks. Does that make sense? I have been told that the problem could be the Lamictin. I'm not sure if it could be that or a combination of the tablets. Please let me know what you think? ## Hi Betty, Sorry to hear about your challenges with weight while taking this medication. From what I could gather, weight gain isn't something that's generally associated with Lamictin (lamotrigine). The Lamotrigine Details drug article actually shows ...

How are you? Yes, it is a very bad idea to drink alcohol when you're taking any prescription medication. It can intensify the side effects, so you can experience much more drowsiness, dizziness and nausea, than normal. Learn more Nexito Forte details here. Additionally, alcohol causes depression, so you're really just making yourself worse by imbibing. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Hi, I've been taking Szetalo 10mg for 1 year and now I want to stop or at least reduce the frequency in which I take this tablet. I'm hoping to avoid certain side effects like weight gain, drowsiness, dry mouth etc. I had stopped taking it for only 5 days and later felt dizzy and fainted. How can I safely get off of this medication? ## HI, Kittu! Sorry about the problem that you're having. Szetalo contains the active ingredient Escitalopram and these antidepressants usually needed to be very slowly tapered to prevent the type of withdrawal effects that you experienced, as well as possible rebound depression and anxiety. The preferred method recently has been to have the patient start skipping days, such a taking it for a day then skipping a day. That is done for a week or so...
