Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
i heard that was a symptom of schizoprhenia.
i started taking prozac in feb/march of this year, and ive had vivid and realistic dreams almost every single night, and sometimes i can remember something and not know if i dreamed it or if it was real. what does this mean?
I had to take 60mg of temazapam to get to sleep and the doctor said that was too much. So she gave me 50mg of trazodone to get to sleep tonight. Will I be able to sleep? She also wrote me a script for Prozac and I took 1 today for the first time, but I do not feel any different.
I have been on Prozac, 20mg, for almost three years and my anxieties have been good thus far. For the past 5 1/2 months I have been taking Lipo 6, a fat burner with a lot of caffeine in it. I have been fine with my anxieties until I recently got off my Lipo 6 pills, about a week ago. I am wondering if that can have anything to do with my reoccurring anxieties?
I have to have a drug test day after tomorrow, early in the morning. I take Prozac every morning. I also have allergies and sinus problems which call for antihistamines and painkillers. If I took any of the aforementioned medications 24 hours or more before the drug test, will they show up in the results? Or will I have to tough it out for two whole days?
I’m taking prozac and nurontin
These medications make me feel drowsy
does any one else have that problem with drowsiness?
I have read that it also has seratonin reuptake inhibiting qualities and prozac was developed because of benadryl. So if your doctor tells you to take it for an extended period of time in order to sleep my question is does it boost seratonin levels? I would think it would to some degree.
what are the bad side effects for long term use?
I’m in 11th grade and am experiencing extreme fatigue lately. I always get to bed around 10 or 11ish and am up around 7, so I get my full 8 or 9 hours sleep. However, in school, I can barely concentrate. I fell asleep in math class today and my eyes are always watery and I just wanna go to bed. I’m on prozac for depression right now, but i dont think it’s that cuz it’s getting better. How can I stop this? School is hell cuz I cant even work!
I am on prozac and was taking ambien for a while. I felt so wierd. does anyone else have any ambien or ambien prozac or other sleep pill/ anti depressiant stories. I havd to take myself off ambien.
I guess Typical ambien reactions. Spacy, memory loss etc. I guess this stuff is pretty bad, so i will stop taking it. It is not the prozac. it is the ambien.
I have been diagnosed with dysthymia as well as various phobias and IBS. I also have very severe chronic insomnia that my psychiatrist says is part of my chronic depression. I tend to sleep 2-5 hours a night, if at all. When I do sleep, I have very vivid, disturbing nightmares. So far, I’ve tried the drugs Prozac and Celexa. Neither helped with the depression; Prozac worsened my IBS and made me lose weight, although it did help a little bit with the insomnia, and Celexa killed what little was left of my appetite, made me lose ten pounds (which is pretty bad for someone with an already low BMI), worsened my sleep disorder and made me feel like I had the flu (constant puking, dizzyness and achyness).
My shrink recommends that I try Zoloft next, but a big part of me wants to stay away from SSRIs because I reacted so badly to the ones I’ve taken (both of which were supposedly "mild SSRIs"). Lately, I’ve been looking for atypical antidepressants that are helpful for sleep disorders and have little risk of weight loss or digestive side effects. I came across Remeron in my search, and a friend of mine who has been on nearly every antidepressant on the market recommends Trazodone. I’ve researched them both, and both sound equally attractive to me. I like Remeron for its reduced risk of digestive side effects and weight loss and for its superb track record for curing sleep disorders. Still, the risk of weight gain holds me back a little. I could stand to gain 10 or 20 pounds, but the idea of putting on any more weight than that does not sound at all appealing to me, and gaining obscene amounts of weight is not unheard of with Remeron. I like Trazodone, again, for its good track record with sleep disorders and lowered risk of dependency. Still, I don’t like risk of diarrhea/constipation. Also, my friend who recommended the Trazodone told me that it’s usually prescribed with another antidepressant (he took it with Zoloft). I’m very medication sensitive, even before going on psych meds (even small doses of baby aspirin and antibiotics almost always give me stomach problems), so I’d like to avoid taking a cocktail of meds if I can.
Anyone have any experience with either of these drugs? If so, how did they effect you? Which one do you think would be better for my situation?
I am 15 years old. Two or so years ago, I was a very happy child. But for the past year and a half, depression, anxiety, and insomnia have been setting on heavily. I’ve been medicating myself every night (and sometimes during the day) with marijuana since i first noticed it. However, that’s really only a temporary escape, and I often feel even worse afterwards. It got to a point where I couldn’t take it, but I did. I lost all my friends, and my dad left my mom. About 10 months later (last week) I went to Henry’s and bought 5-HTP. I know people who use ecstasy and lsd recreationally and I know the purpose and effects of serotonin, more or less. I had 100 mg about 3 hours ago, and the vague feeling of overall relief I don’t remember feeling in a long time washed over me. So I’m assuming I have a serotonin deficiency. I don’t know, you tell me. I’ve told you everything I used to gather this conclusion.
My second question is: What do I do? Do I keep taking this 5-HTP, or should I take the prozac route? What’s the difference?
And finally, I have heard that the brain damage done by ecstasy occurs when the brain runs low on serotonin and resorts to dopamine. If I have low serotonin levels and I’m pumping dopamine from weed into my system, have I damaged my beautiful mind? I’m worried.
I have been taking 5-HTP for a week, as I said earlier. Also, 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, whereas prozac concentrates pre-existing serotonin. You’ve got em mixed up.
PS- Jesus died 2000 years ago, and my pastor is a rapist. Maybe at some point you may find hope in your own life rather than the next.
I take melatonin for sleeping and Prozac for depression and was wondering how much to take to overdose. Also wat would happen like for the melatonin would I just get really really sleepy and not wake up?
I took 1 ambien 10mg about over an hour ago on an empy stomach and i feel nothing. Nothing like everyone else feels. Not even drowsiness. My bf took 1 and he feels everything and is asleep now. Why isn’t it working? No effects at all? FYI I take 10 mg prozac a day.
I’m taking 2 X 150 mg capsules (Natures Made) of St. Johns Wort extract (standardized to 0.3% hyperecin), three times a day to treat a lifelong problem with moderate depression. I’ve spent years taking SSRI antipressants and counselling, so now I want to give this herb a try. I’m also taking Passionflower whole herb capsules for anxiety.
So far, after a month on St. Johns Wort, I do seem to be feeling more calm during the day, but no relief from my insomnia yet. But, NO side effects, unlike what I got from Prozac, Paxil, and Desyryl. Passionflower has been great for relieving early morning anxiety.
I also am a member and activist for NAMI, which I feel has been a great help to me in making new friends and helping lobby for mental health issues.
If you have been or are taking St. Johns Wort extract for depression, I would appreciate your comments.
My real problem is staying asleep, My seroquel knocks me out but I wake up 4 or 5 times a night to eat and drink, its been going on for 2 years straight and nothing has helped I’ve tried all the above abien, lunesta, sonata, melatonin, lunesta, and seroquel XL
I already take prozac, would a more sedating one like paxil help
Racing Thoughts and Insomnia(Bipolar Symptoms).?
I suffer from clinical depression and have been on fluoxetine for over 5 months now, About a week or so ago i was experiencing really racing thoughts and i couldn’t slow my mind down which was making it very difficult to concentrate on things. Also i was only getting about 1-2 hours of sleep and not really missing it. I didn’t feel tired. Just energised. I went to my GP in Glasgow about this as my friend who used to be a mental health nurse said that it sounded like Bipolar, so i told my GP about the racing thoughts, lack of sleep, energised and so on and my GP just upped my Prozac to 40mg and told me to come back in 3 weeks.Are these symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?Or maybe some other condition?
