Day 2

Hey guys, day two into cymbalta 30g for depression. When I yawn my eyes force shut and I get a tightness around my chest and shoulders. I have a pain in the tummy. And I feel like I'm twitching my hands and chest but when I look I'm not. Is it normal? ## Please be careful on this medication. It takes away all anxiety and inhibitions. It can make you do and say things you wouldn't ordinarily. It also makes you crave alcohol, and can intensify alcohol affect tremendously. I was on 60 mg for 9 months. I kept telling my doc I didn't feel like myself. He insisted I stay on it. My personality completely changed, my relationship with my husband and daughters suffered and I didn't care. If my daughter was out late....I didn't worry. I stopped worrying about consequences....

I have been Smoking for years and I am at about 1 and a half packs a day. I have 3 young children and even though they do not live with me and I do not ever smoke in front of them, they still know I smoke, what kind of role model does that make me? I want to be around a long time and see me kids grow up so that is why, after many attempts to quit on my own, I have decided to try Chantix. So this is Day 1 and I am hoping for the best. I decided that I would use this forum as an aid to help and a log to see how it goes. If anybody has any advice it would be appreciated. I will update my progress in a couple of days. ## Did you have any luck with it? I know it works well for some people and not so for others, which is normal for any cessation method. Smoking is also a very hard habit to ge...

Ive been on sprintec fo march april. I have not missed a dose and I have taken them on time. ## These oral contraceptives definitely effect everyone differently, but I am curious to know if sprintec has been working well for you? I was just on another thread here and noticed a lady who was taking sprintec, but was very concerned because she had missed her period by a few days or longer. Same thing happened to my gf while she was on it, although I'm fairly certain that she missed a few days of taking it.

I have not taken my cit. For three days of experimentation and it is not good. Low focus, anxiety, tired (sleep great tho) and dizzy and headache. Will get back on it tonight. ## HI, Charlie! Are you feeling any better? These types of medications that act on brain chemicals should never be stopped abruptly, because doing so will usually cause withdrawal and rebound effects. Learn more Citalopram details here. If you want to stop taking one, it's best done on a very slow tapering schedule supervised by your doctor.

I have right ovarian cyst, I have taken femilon for 21 days, given a gap for 7 days and then again started femilon. Within this gap of 7 days, my period started but bleeding is still there and I have started femilon already, is it right? And why am I bleeding so much, not much in quantity, but it's 6th day of my period today, kindly help ## Has there been any change? The NIH does warn that hormonal supplements may cause irregular bleeding, and normal menses can vary anywhere from 2 to 10 days. Other side effects may also include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. Are you on any other medications?

I am on 50mg of Zoloft to help treat night eating disorder. I am very sensitive to meds - so expected some effects - but: - teeth grinding - elevates heart rate - shortness of breath I have started on Zoloft for the same issue before but stopped after a week or 2 because of the above. QUESTION: is anyone's experience similar and do those things "smooth out" as body adjusts (and about how long does that take?) Hoping to power through for a few weeks more this time to see of there's light at the end of the tunnel. ## Hello, Alex! How are you? Side effects are usually transient, so they'll taper off in severity and eventually go away entirely, once your body gets used to the medication. However, that could take 4 to 6 weeks. Unless they are so severe that you can't ...

how many mg per day for 10 days,each pill is 250mg i have a bad infection from sinusitis ## Hi menab, I'd like to help you find an answer to your question, but can't look up any dosage information without the name of the medication you are referring to. I did pull up a basic link (which you can view below) that has plenty of information regarding the use of antibiotics for sinusitis; including which one's work best, how long they are used, possible side effects, etc: For future reference though, please post as much information as you can about the pill or medication you're wanting to learn more about, so others can be of more help without being left guessing. I know this post is a few months old, but I hope you've recovered 100% by now from that bad sinus infection!

I was put on klonopin by a new med. doctor, for severe panic attacks and anxiety, that was brought on by a number of serious family problems. I have also been on 40 mg. of Celexa for 10 yrs, and 150 mg of wellbutrin for about 8 yrs. The new dr. just upped my Klonopin to I mg, 3 times a day. He totally took me off of the wellbutrin, without tapering. He cut my Celexa dosage in 1/2, and added 60 mg of Cymbalta a day THis all seems a bit extreme and scary to me.I really do not like him or feel comfortable with him. I am going to see a new med dr next week, who works with a group my therapist is affiliated with. My biggest concern is the klonapin dose being upped so much.I have only been on it for 12 days, and I do not feel that it has helped me with nightly panick attacks.It p uhh rd me to...

Hi im 82 days off subutex. Has anyone experienced no energy still at almost 3 months clean. Thank you ## Hello, Ameliapond! How are you? If you were a long time addict and then had to use Suboxone treatment, it could take quite awhile for your body to fully recover and get back to normal. But you should consult you doctor about it, to be sure. Have you been eating properly? Taking in enough fluid each day? Getting proper exercise? ## Hi thank you. Ive started taking l-tyrosine and im starting to get bursts of energy now. I tried exercise and could honestly not keep going. Starting to eat properly again. I just hope its a turn for the better now. Thanks again. ## Yes. 3 months and can't get out of bed hardly. That's why I'm on the internet searching wth is up with this zero e...

went to doc today and everything is fine Thank God! i was told that the xanax that i took helped calmed down the situation down alot. to those of you who are working on the levels that best works for you, don't assume you can go up a complete 10mgs. after talking to doc, i should have asked permission for going up to 5mgs instead of 10 that i asked for. he said if 2 didn't work it'd be okay for me to try 10 = 30mg dosage for the whole day. which with most people would have been okay. i now see i need 5mg increments as i'm still adjusting to what level works for me. not his fault but mine. most people tolerate an additional 10mgs pretty easily. do be careful and use the smallest additional increments of adderall that your body will take. even if you have a high tolerance,...
