Worried about prescriptions - antidepressants



Recommended Posts

Listen, I am on three antidepressants as well. I take trazodone, viibryd, and Effexor XR. I was told by my psychiatrist I will be taking the regular Effexor probably four times a day crushed (I take a very large dose in all meds). Hopefully he will not be giving me any new meds as I am teetering on some other issues. I take a large amount of meds altogether and I was worried also. I guess this is not new to them and they know what to do. I was scared because just one dose of missing my Effexor XR and I was on my way to the hospital for electroconvulsive therapy. I hope all will go well for you. Any questions....feel free to contact me!

I take Lamictal, Seroquel and Gabapentin. Seroquel makes me hungry all the time, as a result weight gain. My question is, Am I still going to be hungry after I have the surgery if I continue taking the Seroquel? Anyone know? :mellow:

I also take 2 antidepressants (Wellbrutrin, Celexa) and my dr wanted me to switch my wellbrutin to 1 24 hour release form instead of 2X per day because the pill as smaller but she said the other one was ok...she indicated that if the pill was m&m size or smaller (or you can cut it in half so it is) you should be fine....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
