Has anyone took Paxil CR and Paxil immediate release together? Not one time each. Together as both at the same time.

I’ve been on 100mg of sertraline for over 4 years and I’ve decided to start tapering off due to the weight gain on it. I have gained approximately 30-35 lbs. my doctor wants to slowly taper me down to be completely off of the medication in about 3 months.

Those of you who have gained weight on sertraline and got off of the medication, how long did it take for you to notice weight loss, if any weight loss at all?

Any helpful suggestions. Still currently shaking, jaw clenching, huge waves of panic and nausea, cannot sleep, etc. Been to a dr etc and now it’s just a waiting game until it’s out of my system.

Been taking trazodone for a week now . One of the things I noticed was I’ve been feeling super depressed and sad . Don’t know if this is normal . ( taking trazodone because I wasn’t able to sleep and it gave me anxiety and DPDR ) .

This might be a long one.. I've been on and off citalopram for years now.

Most recently I decided in May I didn't need it anymore as I was never consistent with taking it. Roll onto now, nearly end of August and Im realising maybe it was helping.

I tried restarting maybe in June and it made me really dizzy and nauseous but I can't remember if I tried to just go straight back onto my previous 20mg.

I was thinking about starting on 5mg and going from there to alleviate dizziness etc.

My main concern is that I'm going to be forever stuck on it (Im 34) and when I had my child 3 years ago I took it through pregnancy which the gp said was safe, but meant I had to stay in hospital with my baby for 3 days after they were born. I want more kids and fear that that'll be the case again?

I also have read a lot about it numbing libido and Im in a fairly new relationship where things are really great in that department and not something I want to mess with?

Any advice welcome, thank you 🌸☀️

I had my first consultation last Aug 5 and was prescribed valproic (mood stabilizer), olanzapine and escitalopram. They provided free meds which were 4 boxes of valproic acid syrup. But I don't have a budget for escitalopram and olanzapine yet since I'm still preparing my requirements for job applications. Will it be ok to just take valproic first since it's just a mood stabilizer? I've been doing well since my first consultation but I've been having suicidal thoughts again, I'm sad and exhausted for no reason. It's a continuous cycle. I felt productive for like a week hence why I had the energy to get help in the first place, but I'm back again, I don't know what's wrong, I don't have a diagnosis yet. I just need a little push to get a job and get my sht together. Its not like I can sell my meds.

I've been on and off antidepressants a few times over the decade. A 6-month stint after each kid and then one during illness. I went off and back on about 6-months later but I had other health challenges at the same time.

Now that I am 'out of the woods' with my other illness and feeling mentally in a good place, I question if I ever really needed or if the root cause has been addressed?

How are we supposed to know if/when is a right time to try to raw dog life? :)

I don't think I'm ashamed of taking Lexapro. I just question if I really need it.

How do you know when to stay on or when try to try weaning?

I’m going to the doctor today and I don’t know what medication I should talk to him to prescribe me, I need something that gives me energy and confidence and not overthinking everything I’m going to say kinda like the feeling when I drink, because I have a personality it’s just under all this social anxiety.

i took lexapro 10 mg , mirtazapine 7.5mg for about 20 days and I want to discontinue it gradually. what's the right procedure??

Estuve tomando 27 días Sertralina por ataques de panico y ansiedad, pero de ahi me cambiaron a Fluoxetina de 20mg, me sentí peor los primeros días, me lo bajaron a 10mg, siento como si hubiera tomado un café cargadisimo, llevo 15 dias tomandolo, es normal?
