I was on factor for 10 years and recently in the past six months I’ve been on Wellbutrin. I’m not a doctor but personally I just don’t think it’s a good idea. Maybe too much dopamine.
Is Prozac a narcotic?
no.
I was prescribed this by my internist (my reg. Doc) and immediately felt sick (to my stomach) almost NO food of any kind stayed down, my head felt as though I was "floating" almost all day.
I am also in endocrine crisis/issues with salt-loss and thought that maybe my reg. doc didn't do enough due-diligence in the Endocrine field, with my Endo. doc whom I gave all the contact info to!?@!??
PCPs generally don't handle things like that.. I would recommend seeing a gyno or endocrinologist for hormonal malfunction as that is their specialty

Is it good to stay on antidepressants for years or do they become ineffective after time?
They can become to the point they don't work it sucks but yes it hapoens
On behalf of those who are sensitive to antidepressants, what are some things others have found helpful for unipolar or bipolar depression?
Sounds helpful. I am seeing a counsellor soon and will ask about it. Thank you.
I currently take zoloft, lamictal, klonopin, and buspar. They have significantly improved my anxiety and depression, but nothing thus far has touched my hypomania. Any suggestions?
Can't turn my brain off from all negative thinking. Scared nothing will work😪
Holy cow, I've been through more combos than I can count. I started keeping track after I had a spinal injury from a car accident. SSRIs either gave me a bad reaction, didn't work, or pooped out. Then… read more
