Antidepressants??
Hi,
I'm 25 and have found myself to be very depressed lately. I'm going through a divorce, ect. I have tried Paxil and Lexapro, and both make me very sick to my stomach, which I thought was wierd because I usually have no problem with medications. And I eat before I take them. I stopped because I just can't deal with the nausea, it puts me in bed for the whole day!
Is there anything out there that anybody is aware of that may have different effects on my body?
Thank you! Happy New Year
maybe you should just go out more! See your friends go to parties or clubs! find a new boyfriend...

xanax.

Try breaking in half to start with and take right before you go to bed. You can have these side effects for a few days but it does stop.

You might want to talk to your psychiatrist about lowering the dosage of the medication you are taking. It might just be your body telling you that it's too strong of a dose. Make sure that the foods you are eating are full of protein. You might want to also try milk, it coats the stomach. Its not just important to eat a meal before you take the medication, its also important to be eating consistent meals through out the day. Let me warn you in advance, finding the right medication for depression can be a very drawn out and frustrating process. You might have to go through 50 different medications before finding the one thats best for your body chemistry. When you do find it however, the process you had to go through will have been worth it. I take a non-theraputic dose of Zoloft and it works for me. Good Luck!!

Thought about sincere prayer and church?

I was on lexapro b4, and it didnt work.
I found Seroxat worked very well, so maybe try that. But in my honest opinion , i dont think anti depressants are the way to go, i was on them for 3 years and they did me no good, i felt worse after i went off them.If ur not already seein a therapist i wud recommend u do that, depression cant be fixed with tablets, it has to be you, and without them u have a clearer mind to deal with everything, its hard but im sure u can do it :)

You shouldn't be asking YA for advice on medications; even those of us who are doctors haven't had a chance to examine you.
But here are a couple of ideas: Exercise is found to work as well or better than antidepressants in a lot of cases. Also, it's near the Winter Solstice now, you may benefit by getting some extra light. Go outside more, and/or use brighter lights in the house.

are medications really going to address your issues or just going to block them out of your mind for a while?? behonest with yourself and you will see that things are what you make them.. sometimes in life things happen, we live and we learn for our next challenge that comes about. My thoughts and prayers are with you :)

Hi Tara, I take Lexapro - but I take it at bedtime so it helps me get some sleep. You need to talk to your doctor about your side effects so you can get something that will work for you. I also take valium, which I get no side effects from, but that is more for pain than for depression.
Your doctor will help you find something that works - I know I had to try a couple different things before they found something that works for me.

Ive been on effexor for a year without problems. You got to give your self time to get used to some of these meds.
good luck

Hello I also take Lexapro and I had the same problem I even tired to take it b4 bed which just made me not sleeo b/c I was sick to my stomach all night so my doctor gave me a nausea medicine to take with the Lexapro that does help me 100%. The Medication is Reglan 10mg. I hope this helps Good Luck and Happy New Year:)

There are all kinds of meds out there discuss this with your doctor and he can give you something else!!
Yeah
i take zoloft it doesnt affect my stomach at all, yeah i used to take prozac and i really messed with my stomach so i know what you mean, i take them even though i hate them because i know that i depend on them to be happy, well maybe not happy but normal at the least

before you get into the toxic pharmaceuticals, try Exercise, drink more water, take vitamin ''B". Prayer might help, and can't hurt.
