Is increased irritability a possible side effect of SSRI's? I've been on antidepressants before but never an SSRI. I just started on (the generic of) Celexa and I've been feeling a lot more pissed off about stupid things and I'm wondering if it's related. If it is, what are the chances it would happen with a different SSRI? I keep getting in fights ( Read more... )

Hey, everyone! I have a question. I started taking Saphris yesterday and it made my mouth go numb and it made me incredibly dizzy and groggy, it knocked me out for about an hour and a half. I did some research and looked in the booklet that came in the box, it said it was a normal reaction. But I'm wondering if anyone in this community has taken it ( Read more... )

My Depakote dosage got upped to 1500mg/day a few days ago, and today I noticed what could be the tiiiiiniest rash on both my hands... it's like a bunch of little red pimples covering the backs of my hands. Has anyone had a rash from the Dep before? Did it look anything like mine? It's not itchy or incredibly obvious looking, but I can't help but ( Read more... )

I'm on a hefty dose of the evil Depakote, and it's been making my hair fall out in clumps lately. So, I've been taking Selenium and Zinc every day to save my hair. I take them at the recommended doses: 50mg zinc and 200mcg selenium. Anyway, these tablets are terrible. They make me shudder on the way down, and then I have to sit on the bathroom ( Read more... )

So a couple weeks ago I posted about geodon and how I thought it was making me delusional. Well, my doctor said it was because I wasn't taking enough. So now I take 120 mg each night. I haven't even done this for a week yet. Every morning I feel like I literally cannot keep my eyes open, focus my eyes, or concentrate until about 10 am. I take ( Read more... )

I've been on 80mgs of Geodon twice a day for about a year now and i find i still get really tired a hour or 2 after my morning dose for about an hour and then i'm wide awake again. I use coffee and diet coke (anything caffeinated) to keep myself awake but I know I shouldn't be taking in a lot of caffine. Is this a common side effect? Does anyone ( Read more... )

Hello, beautiful people ( Read more... )

I take 300mg of lamotrigine at night and I've noticed that when the dose kicks in (usually about 20 minutes after I take it) my lips get cold.  I know that dizziness and nausea are side effects of lamotigine (I get both, but that's why I take them at night - so I can sleep through them...).  But does anyone get cold lips, too?  It's not like ice on ( Read more... )
