Blurry double vision and a horrible migraine
Normally I give meds a longer time to work, but after a week I just said "what the heck am I doing to myself?" and stopped taking it.
i started taking topamax (25g 2x a day) for bulimia and I didn't find it worked at all, but when I went up to (50 2x a day) I stopped purging all together, it seems like magic. It has made my parnate (anti-depressant) work MUCH better, I have been very successful with topamax and would recommend anyone try it before trying horrible LITHIUM!!!
My doctor says it was a counter reaction from the reclast and he doesn't recommend taking it again. But they failed to tell me the side effects of that medication before giving it to me and now I have a year to go not knowing what still may happen to me.I strongly don't recommend this medication and I'm very dissatisfied.
It has dramatically removed my acne. But it does have its problems. Besides what I've listed i have had small twitches in several parts of my body. Not sure if this is or isnt a from accutane.
Clonazepam works for my panic attacks/anxiety and helps me to sleep. If I lose sleep I become hypomanic. I have had GAD since I was a child and am now 71 years old. I stopped drinking alcohol 24 years ago, since it was not a medication, and it only made my mental disorder worse. I can't take any antidepressants beyond beginning doses because they induce hypomania.So I take the clonazepam when I have episodes that bring me extreme panic or anxiety, or when my insomnia gets worse.Typically I take between three quarters and one and a half milligrams at night only for sleep.When my panic or anxiety kicks up because of situational things, I am increased to a total of 2 1/2 mg per day.At present I am on that protocol. It has been the first time in almost 5 years that I have needed to take regular clonazepam during the day to break up the anxiety, panic part of my disorder. While I don't like taking it, it is the only thing that helps me. If I tried to cut back to soon the episode only gets worse.Normally, I take only the bedtime dose. From time to time the psychiatrist is in support of my tapering, which I have to do very slowly. Then I may get down to 1 mg at night for several months.Many people here talk about the severe withdrawal reactions. In my case the doctor and I both agree, that when I get down too low, it is not withdrawal, but my primary bipolar to that kicks in, which includes panic anxiety insomnia and depression.Right now, I seem to have episode
Tight neck & back muscles from day 5-10. Problems falling asleep initially, but has slightly decreased - meanwhile, feeling very alert (never sleepy during the day). Horrible itchy bumps (so bad that I think these may be hives from something other than Zyban). Upper stomach pain which has increased with time. Slight mood swings, but manageable. Rare but painful urethra sensation, though not during orgasms (which, BTW, are a bit more intense).
have taken in the past for different problem but had to stop before finishing course. I was determined to complete this time around and managed to, If you can persevere the side effects do decrease but always consult a medical proffesional if unsure or concerned
I have been on Effexor XR for 2 yrs, I started at 150 mg but had to decrease to 75 because it gave me morning sickness. Now I've noticed short term memory loss, and zero attn span, i feel oblivious to things around me.
Starting with 1mg, I slowly lowered my dose to .25 & if needed, I add in .12 increments, & the lower dose has helped with the side effects; but they are still present. I am trying natural remedies such as Leg Calm & Mind Soothe to get off of Mirapex & have gone on a low carb diet, not no carb, but low carb. I have lost 4lbs. in 5 days which is just water but is a start. I already feel a lot better. I also walk 4 times a week (at least) & eat fresh, not frozen or canned, produce; fish or chicken only 3 times a week...no red meat. Today is my first day with the natural remedies & I am very calm & will see how tonight goes. I'm on a quest. I'm suffering as are all of you with Mirapex changing our personality to the point we don't know who we are & for some of you, no longer recognizing your loved ones. This is not acceptable. I'm not medically trained; just someone willing to experiment & determined to throw my Mirapex down the toliet.
