AUSTEDO (DEUTETRABENAZINE): Deutetrabenazine is used to decrease involuntary movements (chorea) caused by Huntington's disease. It is also used to treat involuntary movements of the face, tongue, or other body parts (tardive dyskinesia). However, it is not a cure for the Huntington's disease or tardive dyskinesia. Reducing involuntary movements will help you take part in more of your normal daily activities. This medication is thought to work by decreasing the amount of certain natural substances in the brain that affect how your nerves and muscles work (monoamines such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine).

HAVE BEEN SMOKING WHILE ON CHANTIX...I THINK YOU MORE THAN JUST THE PILL.
I took Effexor for about 7 years. I had the kind of depression where I was mad all the time. (How come no one ever talks about that?) I tried Effexor after a year on Paxil (tried EffexorXR once, but it didn't work) and I was pretty happy with it, except for the side effects- (drowsiness, lack of mental sharpness). I would lose my train of thought in the middle of a sentence, and it was embarrassing, but better than killing myself. I took an extremely low dose (75 mg per day) and it worked well until this past year. I have increased the dosage 2X, but still feel depressed. My Dr. gave me the option of increasing dosage or trying something else. He encouraged me to try Wellbutrin XL. Right now, I am dealing with the withdrawal, which for me are
Hot Flashes, night sweats, fatigue and constant cold/flu, insomnia, slight weight gain, some acne, depression/moodiness.
Bloating, acne, nausea, cravings
The first two weeks on 25mg were fine. The moment I bumped up to 50mg, I won the Lamictal Lottery with a brand new itchy rash on legs and one hand, folliculitis, and a heaping side of raging acne for dessert.
FVL, Lupus Anticoag, DVT, Double PE
Weird dreams or Nightmares (which I normally DO NOT experience). Strong metalic taste.2 instances of diarrhea.
Nausea, abdo swelling, dense headache, lethargy, mouth ulcers
I developed Bell's Palsy after my first shot. My Pcp, the ER doctor and a specialist said I developed Bell's Palsy from the vaccine. Never had it before and I am still recovering from it.
