Medication For Crazy People

I have been on Zoloft for years and once in a while I felt it wasn't working well. Now it's gotten worse and I cry a lot, I am shaky and easily hurt so much so that I am ruining my relationship. I have no reason for this since I am in the best place of my life. I feel crazy but I think it's a physical problem, not insanity. ## Hello- I am sorry you are having difficulty. I went through something similar. I had to admit I needed more help so I got an app to help remind me to take it regularly and at the same time. I reorganized the pill container and I felt better after a few weeks. If I hadn't I know I can ask for temporary panic attack med like Ativan or kolonopin if relative died, but if no crisis it meant I had to tell my doctor to up the dose. Please send a message t...

Hopefully someone sees this, I've never been on this site before. My doctor increased my Wellbutrin to 450 mg about 2 months ago. I feel like I am slowly losing it, and I never thought that maybe it could be the Wellbutrin. I'm always agitated. I'm never comfortable, never relaxed. I am doing obsessive things like washing my hands repeatedly, making sure everything in the room is perfectly neat and straight. I can't cry anymore. I seem perfectly fine when I talk to people, but my mind feels like a mess. I'm focused and I do what I need to do every day, but I feel no joy, just agitation. I always feel like I need to do something and I'm always nervous about something, even if there's nothing to be nervous about. Has anyone ever taken Wellbutrin and experienced...

I read old post and Androderm sure got a lot of bashing. I have yet to have one fall off. Actually they are hard to take off. Had the glue stick to me after i removed it. I showered with one on just to see and it would not come off, even using a scubby cloth on it. I found out if I take a shot shower and scrub where the patch was, the red spot does not last as long. that is the only two complaints I have is the spot it leaves on my body and itches like crazy. I hope my levels continue to increase. I only had them on for a month. I have to wait 2 more months before new blood work. My balls have not shrunk or my hair fallen out like i read in older posts. I hope I get good results. Only think so far is the muscles stiffness is gone. I am getting workouts at the gym too. I been really hung...

Have taken watson percocet for years (spinal fusions) and just asked the doc to drop down to x3 a day because pain was manageable. well I get this A333 oblong pill and get: no pain relief, anxiety with mood swings, constipation and indigestion with bloating! I have taken other manufacturers before...with no problems; this time? MAJOR ISSUES! Something isn't right. ## Hi tracy, You're not alone with regards to the weaker A333 pill. There are actually several threads here talking about this very topic. I haven't pinpointed what the problem is yet, but many people here seem to think that Actavis is using less active ingredients than what is listed on the label. Either that or they stuff their pills with so many binders & fillers that our bodies can barely absorb it. One thi...

I am a chronic pain management patient with ( I have been told by my doctors) no chance of ever being off pain meds. I have a serious disease I can barely pronounce. At any rate, my opioids are so difficult to managethat it is driving me crazy. Every 800 or 888 number I can find is just a 12 step person who tells me that it is a terrible choice. In other words, I can find NO number of a reasonable, educated person who can tell me if this is a good choice for me... HELP!!! ## Hello, Frank! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. Methadone is notorious for being highly addictive, which is why most places will tell you to stay away from it. However, for some people in severe pain, it can be a god send, especially when you've run out of other options. The FDA lists i...

My mother has been using the drug Pennsaid for knee pain. We recently had to change insurance companies and she went from paying $40.00 per month for this to now paying $136.00. This is totally unreasonable for her to have to pay this amount. I was curious to see if your company offered any type of drug discount card that would make this cheaper for her. This has helped her in her walking quite a bit but now has become a little too pricey for her. Thanks... ## Hi Donna, Sorry to hear about that crazy price increase. These pharmacies always find little ways to squeeze an extra paycheck out of people and it's a bit ridiculous to say the least. As far as saving money on her prescription, there are plenty of free Prescription Drug Discount Cards out there that you can find on google, wh...

Okay people if you want off these crazy addicting pills and you are being prescribed them by your doctor. Now ask him for a medication called SUBOXONE - I believe not all doctors can prescribe them but ask cause I'm not sure. OH MY GODNESSSSSS This helps with the come down WOW I thaught I was going to die I was so scared of being sick.. This is what you want to take that makes it all better. NO Sweating, cramping, leg twitches, aches, sleeplessness GONE you will love it.. ASK your DOC about it. Best Wishes Heidi ## NO you are lying!!! You must go thru hell for 72 hours before taking the suboxone. Withdrawal is different for everyone. You must of had a very small habit if any. If you never got sick and then took the suboxone then you wasted your money because apparently you didnt nee...

I have a UTI, I am going crazy, my Dr. can't get me in for four days and there is no way I can take any more of this. I have Amoxicillin 875/ Clav K 125 Tab (whatever that means) that I was prescribed for a sinus infection that went away on its own. Can I use this for my UTI? I have the full prescription right here. Ugh that would be a God send. Cranberry is only keeping some of the pain away. ## Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the active ingredients in Augmentin, is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections, however, it may not actually help in the case of a UTI. Overuse has caused it to become ineffective for treating these types of infections in a large percentage of people, which is why it is no longer the first choice antibiotic for treating them. The do...

I have been taking Lyrica for about 3-4 weeks, low does of 50mg twice a day for cervical disc problems (neck) nerve pain. I am female, 42 years old. I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING MAD. Almost immediately I started experiencing a "high" feeling, and feel very disconnected to everything around me. I have trouble concentrating and sticking to any task, which is making working very difficult (I am a journalist/writer). My doctor warned me I might feel very drowsy after taking it, but I have the opposite problem - I cannot sleep. I average about 3/4 hours a night if I'm lucky. I feel very groggy when I wake and have been experiencing such violent, disturbing dreams that I constantly wake in a highly anxious state. My dreams scare me. In then I am behaving very violently to people arou...

i feel so awful that i have to get on here and ask for help. i understand that there are people that get meds and misuse and sell them but im a legit pain patient and i need help getting my meds filled. im from ky but cannot get the help i need. so i legally went to a pain clinic in GA. and i feel like a criminal, people in these pharmacies look at you like your crazy, i just need to know a place i can get my meds filled. id do random pill counts if it would help, im not a dealer just someone in pain, can anyone help me. ## No need to feel awful, you need assistance and it happens to everyone, at once time or another. How have you been checking with the pharmacies to see about getting the prescription filled? Because if you're just calling or going in and asking, without showing the...

I was on qsymia for 6 weeks and lost 6 lbs in that time. My doctor didn't have it researched and decided to quit my program on it because he didn't want me on a life long perscription. this was crazy to me b/c it was not only working but would have been less than have the straight doses of 37.5mg of phentermine i had been on for 6 month intervals in the past. ## Hello, I'm not from that area so unfortunately I don't have any doctors I can refer you to. This may seem obvious, but I would just look in the yellow pages or yelp.com to find weight loss doctors in your area. I do believe that weight loss pills can be addicting for some people, so maybe that is why your doctor didn't want to keep prescribing the pill. Personally, I believe that weight loss pills/fat burners...

i suffer from high blood pressure and the last couple of months my pulse became eradic, missing a beat and adding a extra beat. i als get chest pains wich increase in severity and then go away. i also have a stomach ulcer, could the pain come from the ulcer? my pulse rate is normal when i get these pains. ## Hi Robert! I can't give you an exact answer about how your heart beat would be before a heart attack. Some people feel it coming on, and others feel fine until all of a sudden they're having a heart attack. As far as your heart beating fast or hard and feeling like it's "fluttering" or skipping a beat -- I used to have the same problem and it about drove me crazy. Then my doctor put me on a beta-blocker. It was "atenolol" although there are many others. I...

I need to ask you more is any other pills for severe depression sometime I feel like I'm going to be crazy please. ## There are many other medications available, such as SSRIs like Paroxetine or Sertraline and SNRIs that include Venlafaxine and Duloxetine. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. The Bupropion can actually cause nervousness in some people, so it might not be the right medication for you. How long have you been taking it?

HELP!! My daughter has been on EPILIM for 6 years and gained a lot of weight on it. She went on TOPAMAX (a year now) and she's LOOSING HAIR like crazy?!?! The Dr. wants her to go on TEGRATOL but I see allot of people are complaining about both HAIR LOSS and WEIGHT GRAIN on it? I am also considering ZARONTIN. Does anyone have personal experience with this medication? ## These types of side effects are common to most anti-seizure medications and you may never find one that won't cause one or the other. Tegetrol contains the active ingredient Carbamazepine. Zarontin contains the active ingredient Ethosuximide How old is she? ## EPILIM is an old AED (anti epileptic drug). I've been on it for 37 yrs.. it definitely has a hair fall out side effect and tremoring of the hands... yes...

Do not take this medication for high blood pressure...sure it will work, in less than 3 days it dropped my bp to 90/55, i felt like i was going to die...and when you discontinue it you will rebound like crazy, heart rate will shoot through the roof, blood pressure will rise dramatically and the headaches and head pressure will be severe...I ended up in the emergency room twice trying to get off this medication and still can't get off it without having severe effects. Do a search for the study the nimh did on trying to get off this drug 30 years ago to see what it does to people. Please avoid this drug at any cost. ## Sorry about the problem you've had taking Clonidine. However, it is a very potent medication so yes it can drop your blood pressure dramatically, that's why it...

I have been taking Provigil for 2 yrs and I have lost my health insurance. Not sure what I'm going to do. The cost without insurance is crazy ## There is an assistance program provided by the manufacturer, Cephalon, for those who need this medication but don't have insurance. You can call them for more information on applying at 877-237-4881, the call center is available from 9am to 8pm EST. Learn more Provigil details here. These programs actually do work and help people, I receive a very important medication through one directly from a manufacturer myself. Can you please post back and let me know if you have any luck? ## I would like to try provigil because Vyvanse is not covered by my Medicaid card. ## Looking for free 7 day sample of Provigil, I have a prescription ## Hi how...

I am going crazy. I have never felt right on this. I was 24 weeks on Harvoni, and had been bedridden since then due to my liver, back issues, pain, headaches, chest discomfort, unable to swallow, see clearly, and have nausea constantly. ## Those can be typical side effects of this medication according to the FDA. You may also experience dizziness and stomach pain. Have you finished your course of treatment, yet? Are you on any other medications? ## Harvoni has also caused my immune system to go completely insane. I was healthier when I had hep c. Also, just because some people have good results from this drug (no side effects for instance) it is very bad logic to assume this to be true for all takers of the drug. More importantly, it does not mean it is a SAFE drug for all. I warn anyon...

I want to know how many are suffering from withdrawal from this drug that causes itching all over the body. At the people's pharmacy there is an article about this very problem, yet Zyrtec doesn't list the information on their web site. This is my third attempt to get off of this med and I'm going crazy from the itching. ## If you take any medication for a long period of time, you will experience some withdrawal effects. This is just as true of allergy medications, as it is of any other. One of the most common withdrawal effects are rebound effects, so for an allergy medication, this can include itching. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? ## I keep getting itching after this. Not had it before, but it's the first time I've taken the medicine for more than a mon...

I read this information about the pills on here and people want to make you think your crazy about medicine you have been taking for years. Like I have been taking the WATSON brand Oxycodone 10/325 for years and 1 always worked. It was the only pain med I was taking. I get up in the morning and hurt so bad I would take 1 and with in 15 minutes I felt I could make it through the day. I always had some left over every month. On Jan 2014 I went to get my meds filled and all the sudden no one seems to have the WATSON brand so I got stuck with ACTAVIS brand pill A333 on it for the whole month of Jan I hurt so bad then in Feb I told my Dr when I got my Prescription he told me to try another pharmacy. I did and I got the ALVOGEN Pill Yellow 230 and the same thing. it worked a little better but...
