Hi,
I'm hoping to get undepressed somehow. I see the psychiatrist Monday. I'm wondering if we should try some meds again. ---basically something that comes in liquid or other baby doses. M |

Hi
do you want to try aplenzin? I wake up horribly depressed ever morning and then I take it and it really works.. even now with the extra issues. It is related to welbutrin and I think that used to work for you. |

I was hoping the pdoc would have been more interactive during your appointment. You are asking for help. I was on cymbalta, which is related to pristiq. The side effects were limited, except for me I experienced excessive sweating. This became a problem because I was hot flashing at the time so basically a big sweat ball with a shinny red face 24/7. It did help with depression.
I have taken Ambien in the past. It works, but I had to take a break, as it became less effective over time. I had no "TigerWoods" side effects. |

I believe he claimed he was on ambien when he got behind the wheel in a dazed ambien state and crashed his car. There is a known side effect of people getting up and eating things with no recall, for example. So very, very rare. I believe he also had alcohol on board, so it was considered a defense strategy, that failed.

I was on cymbalta at one point I loved it. Had to go off because we
had no insurance. And haven't been able to go back on because of the things it would counter effect with my other meds now. And it effected my breast cancer meds. So I am on Effexor xr only thing I can take. Donna |

Hi,
I do not need the Ambien -- it was just something that came out of my head for whatever reason. Have not heard from the pharmacy re the Pristiq. I guess that I will have to call them later today if I can. |

Hi Mari,
I would love it if you were "unrepressed" (((HUGS))) Here is a website that has a table that lists a bunch of meds available in liquid form: Liquid formulations: A practical alternative | MDedge Psychiatry I hope this helps |

Thank you ladies.
I asked Hubby to drive me to the pdoc because I had been awake the night before & I did not think I should be driving. I asked pdoc for Ambien (I have NO idea why I said that unless that was due to not sleeping the night before.) Pdoc said 'Yes" to the Ambien and gave me the talk about going to bed when I take it. I agreed. (HA!) Then she started talking about Pristiq. She said something about an earlier visit when she gave me Pristiq. I told her sometimes I don't take things she gives me so I would not know anything about Pristiq or have any experience with it. She ignored that and moved on to type into her iPad and send my prescriptions to the pharmacy. It was a short visit. We drove home. M |
