Hi,

I am new. I have been trolling through medication info sites such as

www.medonline.org.uk (non commercial) where there are more than 30

treatments listed with links to further information.

Its all a bit much to take in as a starter. Is there a site with a

good summary of what is good/bad ?

thanks,

I am struggling right now with my sons meds. My son started his anxiety

problems last fall and we went to a psychologist and totally turned

everything around. My son did great for 6 months. He was however struggling

in school with writing and careless mistakes and has a hyper behavior at

times. Decided to start him on Adderal, everything went great for a couple

of months and then boom the OCD started back with a vengeance, went from

scared of storms to bugs, school, test, etc. Was diagnosed with OCD, took

off the Adderal and started Zoloft. He has not been the same child since

Zoloft, just weaned him off last week and now he seems to have the control

to handle things. I know it has only been a few days without meds, he was

struggling last night with homework and writing. I keep thinking that the

Adderal is what triggered all this, that was the beginning of the total out

of control. But part of me is afraid to start him back on another med. We

have an appointment with his doctor next week to start something new and I

really want to just stay off right now while things are going well and see

what happens. What drives me crazy is I can't figure out if his behavior is

due to meds, lack of sleep because of meds, ADD, OCD or just bad behavior.

When there aren't any meds involved I feel like we at least know what we are

dealing with and he has a clear brain to work on it. I'm not saying that

kids don't need meds, and we really were desperate for them at the beginning

of the summer. I am probably in denial of his need for them right now and

just tired of dealing with them.

Hi Kim,

That's great that these meds are working for your dd! My dd takes zoloft

also, and I have found that the abilify helps to stabilize her mood,

although she definitely has cognitive dulling from the med. She has bipolar

also, but without the zoloft , she's all over the board with her

ocd.Actually the abilify has helped some with her anxiety also. From what I

understand the antipsychotics are only prescribed for ocd- only patients for

those with severe aggression or hallucinations, or if they have tried all

SSRI's without relief.

I just don't like the idea of my dd on these antipsychotics. I feel they

should only be prescribed if absolutely necessary. You have these doctors

now adays prescribng left and right extremely dangerous meds for our kids.

Sometimes they don't even need them!

Just my 2cents

Take care

Judy

Hi Adele,

I heard from several doctors that my son's symptoms were due to

anxiety and/or the waxing and waning cycle of OCD. In my gut I knew

the prozac and later, the celexa, were responsible. I have no

experience with ADD or the other med your son is on, but if after

going of of it be became worse on the zoloft, to me it sounds like

the zoloft was responsible. If I could start over again I would try

cognitive behavioral therapy for 's OCD before trying an

SSRI. Of course, it is extremely difficult to find a good therapist,

and then it takes weeks or months to get an appt... If you try

another SSRI and the out of control behavior returns, make sure you

have frequent follow-up visits with the p-doc and listen to your gut

feelings. In the case of my son, his out of control behavior led to

suicidal thoughts.

Hi ,

I am currently on Ribivarin and Pegasys. My insurance

covers the Pegasys completely and I pay $10.00 a month

for the Ribavarin. It doesn't matter if I am taking 5

a day or 4 (they dropped my dose) the cost is the

same. It will all depend on your insurance and what

your co pays are.

Hope your doing well,

Your doctor will want to do an assesment on you,your state of mind etc.to see if you can handle treatment.If he says yes keep a copy of all your reports yourself so you can see how you are doing.We can give you a site to check your results as you go along and don't forget to make sure he puts you on anti depressents just before you start treatment.

Klonopin is an excellent anti anxiety med. It has a long 1/2 life so doesn't

wear off quickly and leave you anxious suddenly (ativan does this). It has an

excellent side effect profile, meaning almost none. I've been taking it for

years. Start with a very small dose. The pill is 0.5mg. You can even cut it into

quarters. It works best if kept at an even level in your bloodstream, so you can

take some in the am and some in the pm. It helps a lot for sleeping too.

Medication

Life has caught up with me and I think it's time for me to consider

anti-anxiety medication for myself. I suffer from occassional vertigo

and I'm very concerned about an SSRI triggering it. I also don't want

to gain the 10 or 20 lbs. that everyone seems to when they start on

these meds. Can anyone tell me which drugs have the fewest side

effects?

them for years and my fibro doctor wanted to take me off of them, it was

terrible he finally left me on it. My depression got  a lot worse and I didnt

Elavil helps with pain. It also is great for sleep. The problem is

that it can give you a hangover. Some people report that it goes away

after a couple of weeks, others say that they always get the hangover.

Lastly, if weight gain is a problem then don't take Elavil. It is

notorious for causing carb craving and weight gain.

A few years back, a doctor prescribed elavil for me for my fibromyalgia -

it was horrible - I was spaced out and lay awake all night - the next

morning, I felt terrible and very hung over. I've also heard that coming off

of

it can be very hard and that people should wean themselves off of it very

slowly.

Going on a gluten free diet pretty much made the fibro 75% better - and

adding LDN to the mix has made it 95% better.

I had about the same response. I think I had bloating too. The drugged feeling

mostly wore off after a couple of days. I had no symptoms to justify this drug,

so it's not surprising it didn't help with CFIDS.

If you have a good reason for taking this it might be worth trying, but I don't

think it's something to throw at this illness out of desperation.

you cant judge a medication on 1 night, especially a drug like elavil.  need to

start low dose and gradually work up.  that said, i do use as needed when

real;y need sleep for 1-2 nights and it helps my sleep although quite sedated

for first half of the next day.   but i would expect the next day sedation to

wear off if i was on it for longer , say 3-4 weeks.

Yes, too many doctors prescribe too high a dose of elavil to begin with. They

did this with my mother, giving her 25mg to start with, causing her a major side

effect. I started with 10mg, but IMHO, one might even consider starting with

half a pill, if one is very sensitive to meds, and only increase it by 5mg

doses. I've known some people with fibromyalgia, who are helped by only taking

a small amount of it, or they combine a small amount of it with other meds.
