Has Anyone Suffered From Seeing Geometric Patterns In Vision Although They Have Not Taken Hallucinogenic Drugs?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm 72, female. Three weeks ago, I accidentally took 600 mg of Bupropion for a couple of days or more (I mistook the 300 mg pills for the 150 mg which I took twice daily). The recommended dosage is 400. Since then, I have been seeing geometric patterns. Eye exam was OK and MRI OK. I am still waiting for EEG.

Are There Any Petite (weighing Under 100lbs) 20 Year Olds Taking Antidepressants?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

My psychiatrist recommend half a Zoloft pill every morning.

Weight Gain On Antidepressants
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi I've been on different antidepressants for years and am currently on cymbalta/duloxetine. All of them have caused me to put on weight, which causes more depression and not liking myself. I was slim and active before I started these medications. Now I feel too tired to exercise, whereas I used to be active. I've just started a new diet but find the drugs cause carb cravings and increased appetite. How do people deal with this problem? I feel in despair about it as when I come off the… read more

Try Lamotragine. I've been on it for 2 yrs now and have lost weight on it. No carb cravings either. You start on 25 mg 2x a day, then work your way up. I'm on 125 mg 2x a day. Curbs manic symptoms as… read more
