News of Anti-Depressants

I've been struggling with what I think is stress induced depression from my high paying job and living circumstances, suicide thoughts/threats, for several years now. I made just under $100k last year, but work a ridiculous amount of hours every week and I am paid salary. Been depressed for the last 18 months, sought out treatment, been on wellbutrin for 8 mos now. My work drive had decreased significantly, my 'I don't give a crap ...

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I was wondering what the transition is like when changing meds? I've been on sertraline for about 15 months, I've been on 150mg since November. However, my dr says they may be doing more harm than good (my mood hasn't been great and I've had several incidents lately involving A&E), so he's suggesting taking me off them and trying something else. However, I was told that sertraline ...

Any one know why Wellbutrin is not sold in Australia?
We have Zyban but the docs will prescribe it for only 3months since its a smoking cessation aid.
I am on my 3rd week on Zyban and the results are great, I have quit smoking and feeling so much better than before.
I have tried most of the ssri on the market and the side effects are terrible.
I really want to use Wellbutrin for ...

If you were previously successful at 150mg, and you weaned off it then after a few months then had to go back on it but your doctor was being hurried over the phone and your pharmacist is unreliable
what would be the correct way to get back on to 150mg?

I've been on a variety of antidepressants...citalopram, fluoxetine....then sertraline which seemed to work the best for me. However, tiredness and fatigue are still really bad and so my GP tried me on Venlafaxine. This made me feel alive for the first time in ages...however soon after taking it I started to get really bad sweating on my scalp, face and neck...to the point when it would drip down my face. I needed to carry tissues ...

Has anyone heard of Ketamine as a treatment for depression? I have read about some promising trials whereby a low dose infusion can relieve depressive symptoms for several weeks. Has anyone had any experience of this?

I was on Celexa for approximately four or five months. Something like that. I cut it cold when I basically didn't get a call from the pharmacy saying to pick it up again. I did get a call from the doctor saying I would need to go in to get another prescription, but she gave me a refill for two more months. Since, by this point, I had been out of pills for a couple ...

So I've been experiencing what I think is anxiety after taking 300mg daily for about 9 weeks, then being increased to 450mg for this 10th week. I have chest tightness, labored breathing like I can't quite get enough oxygen, stomach pain/butterflies, a lump in my throat, and just last night a bout of clausterphobia upon waking in the middle of the night.

My psychiatrist doesn't get back to me very fast, so I went to ...

Hello,

I was on 60 MG cymbalta for 6 months due to anxiety and depression. I never had any side effects on cymbalta and it helped me cure my anxiety and depression! I have now been on 30 MG cymbalta for 2 months. It seems i have got sleeping issues now and also brain zaps and problems with my sight when moving direction of the eyes quickly from left to right.

Im on my withdrawal ...

Hi,

I am planning to withdraw from Elontril (Wellbutrin in the U.S.) in January, has anyone of you managed to? The stupid thing is, there are only two doses available, 150mg and 300mg, both XL. I chose this drug because it is reported to be easier to get off, actually all the reports are much better than about SSRI withdrawal.
But my last effort to get off it ended up with me getting high on ...
