Hello,

Some of us have found that antidepressants help to reduce both intensity and

frequency of hot flashes. Something you might want to know...

Yep I have tried a few myself but had the reverse reaction to them. They made me

have the panic attacks, couldn't sleep, and made me very irritable. I felt like

I had taken a bottle of diet pills. I was so nervous and jittery. So I just quit

trying to find one that was right for me and deal with the hot flashes/sweats Or

they made me very sleepy during the day. Couldn't handle that with teenagers.

always on the go. tt.

Theresa, I'm not sure which anti-depressants you were on, but they are

constantly improving and reconfiguring the components to make them more

effective. I have been on Celexa for years. When I was diagnosed I spoke

with my doc and we decided to up my dosage - that helped. I also have

suffered from anxiety attacks. There are newer meds like Cymbalta that work

on serotonin and neuroeprenephrin to help with depression and pain.

I encourage anyone who is suffering with depression (chronic pain can cause

depression you know) to check with their docs for possible SRI's for

depression. Or, a referral to a specialist in diagnosing and prescribing for

depression. Please believe me, it is worth it. I was a psychotherapist for

25 years - never used anti-depressants - then surprise, surprise, alone, in

a new city, I started thinking about driving out into the desert and

disappearing! I was smart enough to know this was not a good way to think so

went straight to the doc. My life has blossomed - even WITH BC.

Good luck all.

I took Xanax off and on for awhile. Its listed in the drug book as a

tranquilizer but it also states that it can be used for tension, anxiety,

fatigue and agitation, Also for irritable bowel syndrome, panic attacks,

depression and PMS.

Hello how are you?

Please don't take Xanax on a regular basis because it is very addictive drug,

I would encourage you to discuss with your Dr about other alternative drug

(medicine) and ask the Dr questions on which medicine is not addictive. You are

in my prayers, take care.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely discuss these with my docs.

Maya Brand wrote: Hi Theresa,

Xanax is not an antidepressant and needs to be used very carefully as it is

habit forming. There is such a good list of the seratonin re-uptake

inhibitors, Ask your doctor about Celexa (now available as generic),

Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Effexor. Everyone responds to these SRI's differently

so sometimes it takes a few tries to get exactly the one that works for you.

BC is such a shock to our psyche as well as our bodies that depression is

simply a natural potential side effect. No one should have to try to deal

with it alone - and antidepressants are one form of support that should

definitely be explored.

Hope you find the right one for you.

I started taking the prescription Lexapro, I think it may be new? It

takes about 2 weeks to kick in, but I already dont like it. It makes

me feel weird and tired all the time.

From my personal experiences, I take Xanax and have been for over a

year now. I take a small dosage 0.25mg for Restless legs Syndrome to

help me get to sleep. I have gone nights without it and have found

it hasnt made me addicted to it. The doctor that prescribed the

Lexapro also gave me xanax 5mg for during the day or when needed

until the Lexapro kicks in, but as I stated I dont like the Lexapro,

so I havent taken it for a few days now and feel fine. So I am

currently taken xanax each day and infact today I didnt feel the

need for it so I didnt take it. I think in small dosages a person

taking xanax would be fine as long as you dont abuse it. It works

wonders for me

I started taking the prescription Lexapro, I think it may be new? It

takes about 2 weeks to kick in, but I already dont like it. It makes

me feel weird and tired all the time.

From my personal experiences, I take Xanax and have been for over a

year now. I take a small dosage 0.25mg for Restless legs Syndrome to

help me get to sleep. I have gone nights without it and have found

it hasnt made me addicted to it. The doctor that prescribed the

Lexapro also gave me xanax 5mg for during the day or when needed

until the Lexapro kicks in, but as I stated I dont like the Lexapro,

so I havent taken it for a few days now and feel fine. So I am

currently taken xanax each day and infact today I didnt feel the

need for it so I didnt take it. I think in small dosages a person

taking xanax would be fine as long as you dont abuse it. It works

wonders for me

Hi Char,

I agree with you about Xanax and Ativan - I too take small doses for RLS and

anxiety - maybe once or twice a month. I was just warning that they are not

to be confused with antidepressants. If you already do not like Lexapro,

call your doc. I've had that same reaction to Paxil and it is a terrible

feeling. Get her/him to switch you to one of the others. Each one works a

little differently. Getting your antidepressant from your primary doc or onc

isn't the same as getting them from a doc who specializes in the field. (My

son-in-law is a specialist) So just stay with your doc until you find the

right one for you.

Prayers to you.

Maya
