Hey guys. My doctor decided to switch me from Pristiq to Cymbalta for my OCD because he says Cymbalta can be really good for OCD. I've started taking the Cymbalta and I have stopped taking the Pristiq but I feel really bad. I have no emotions whatsoever and I don't really have feelings for anything anymore, I feel tired and unmotivated and like I'm worthless, it sucks so bad. I only used to take 25 ...

I've been on benzos for a month then off for a month. Now I seem to lose memories while drinking more easily. I had maybe two black-out episodes in my entire life until I started using benzos. Now, four drinks over two hours and I couldn't remember some things that happened. I don't necessarily see any side effects long-term that imply this would be related, but I was wondering if anyone else had seen similar ...

I'm 17 and I was put on citalopram 8 weeks ago for depression and social phobia. Initially I felt an improvement with the social phobia but mainly because I didn't feel like I felt anything at all but it didn't help with my moods. I either felt very down or emotionally numb. After an incident on a bus involving me having a panic attack, my anxiety has gotten bad again to a point where it's ...

I've been exercising at the gym at least three times a week, (1.5 hours each time). My diet is very good. I quit smoking entirely almost three weeks ago and I have been seeing a psychologist twice a month for a few months.

i feel as if i've made progress, but not as much progress as i've hoped for. My anxiety is still, generally, out of control. I don't want pills, but sometimes my anxiety ...

Hello, I was wondering, how does one, when the time comes, come off Risperal Consta?
Does one simply not take a new injection? Or is it necessary to phase it off by taking Risperal pills?

Second night after eating cereal (i work overnights so I'm up all night but this night I wasn't working) I had an upset stomach. Figured ...

My therapist suggested I see a psychiatrist or GP to be put on an antidepressant for depression and social anxiety.
Does anyone have good experience with a medication that worked well for both and did not cause weight gain and/or increased appetite? (I'm currently struggling with bulimia)
Also, I've been reading a bit about SSRIs and SNRIs. Does anyone have experience with both? Which worked better for you and were there any major differences in ...

Currently, various common mental disorders, and especially depression, OCD, and schizophrenia, are treated with drugs whose most prominent effect is to cause hyperprolactinemia. Such drugs include the SSRIs, and the D2 receptor antagonists, such as risperidone and paliperidone. Hyperprolactinemia causes long-term sexual anhedonia, probably via an epigenetic mechanism that shuts down a dopamine-related gene in neurons, in response to the very high prolactin.

The pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the hyperprolactinergics deceptively call them 'anti-depressants' and ...

I've never been diagnosed with anything, never taken medication, nor have I ever wanted to, but my 'symptoms' are getting worse. I've always been against giving people medication for depression and anxiety because it will never get rid of it and if it does then that doesn't mean you conquered it, it just means you became so emotionally and mentally blocked you stopped thinking about it. My problems with reality, solipsism, and wants for suicide ...
