ALPRAZOLAM vs CITALOPRAM

34F Height 5'5 Weight 130lbs Race white Medications sertraline 100mgs, alprazolam .5mgs as needed, ibuprofen as needed (I know I use too much, generally 800mgs every 4 hours). Current daily smoker, no drinking, no drug use. I was in a motor vehicle accident in 2004 which resulted in a shattered ri

In short, I am a 33 year old male who has been on alprazolam 90mg for 19 years. The times I have gone without it, I have had seizures consistently as well as suicidal ideation. I have tried coming off of it but it never goes well. Literally out of nowhere, the nurse practitioner randomly said she do

*This is a* ***LOT*** *of information, but we wanted to give all of you as much as we could. The local doctors have had no idea and everything they've thought it could be has been wrong. We've seen an orthopedist, a general practitioner, and now a rheumatologist.* 39M, 5'9 height, 230lbs, caucasian

Well, our DM sent an email out to lock up all popular items. (alprazolam, any kind of -tussin, and pretty much any benzo) This is reasonable enough, but it was added on that we need to take down ALL will-call bags, place them into empty vial boxes, and lock them in our storage room. Of course, we ar

Hi AskDocs community My mother is having some issues at the moment and I feel like she might be overmedicated. She is on multiple different medications daily for years and I feel like something really needs to change as her health is really deteriorating over the past few months. Some background on

3 days ago I had a seizure in my room, I fell and hit my head and somehow survived. Since then I’ve been tasting metal in my mouth, my tummy and chest feel hot, I completely lost interest in everything, no appetite, everything seems so surreal and eerie I feel like I died I don’t know. It’s been 3 d

I'm a person who struggles with bipolar II (Rexulti, Zyprexa) and PTSD related panic attacks (Alprazolam) from a family member's suicide, yesterday I was planned to go on a trip to see my best friend graduate college. I never travel anywhere without all three of my medications in order for the time

I'm a tech. My pharmacy hired a new staff pharmacist in August and I mean NEW. She just graduated this year. In our opinion, she has absolutely been handling the job like a champ, especially since our store is notorious for being one of the crazier and more challenging ones to work at. Yesterday we

Just a bit of comical diversion in the midst of COVID and your hard work. I live in rural Mississippi, and we get our local news report from a city of less than 40 thousand people. As a result, sometimes the station doesn't have enough news to fill the half hour; they supplement with generic, prefa

I was talking with a friend who is counseling patients in Cambodia. For those who don't know, Cambodian prescribing is pretty...lax and that is putting it lightly. Hear this: * Patient is a 25yo female who describes being depressed every day for 2-3yrs with SI 1-2x/wk. Pt was not reciving talk thera

I had a patient call about her clonazepam medication. It needed PA since it's a new year. Also medication is too soon to pick up because she claims her meds were stolen tried to give me a bogus police report, no Dx code of the medication either, its the the weekend and doctor won't be in the office

Patient is a canine. Alprazolam 1 mg, #90 for 45 days supply. Has filled ~700 tablets in past year. And what’s your rationale for/against?

I graduated a year ago and have applied for constant entry level positions and wake up everyday to new rejection emails. I have no savings. I’ve never had a boyfriend. The only constant companion I’ve had in my life is depression and my citalopram pills. My friends are successful and happy and I lay

I have been taking Citalopram for more than 4 years.

Hi guys, I've been taking Celexa 10mg for nearly a year now and just wanted to share my experience here. I was reading posts on this subreddit religiously before telling my doctor I wanted to try meds, so I thought this could be helpful to anyone in the position I was in then. My symptoms before sta

I posted on here a while back (http://www.reddit.com/r/depression/comments/1jyokh/what_does_it_feel_like_trigger_warning/) about how I felt on a regular basis. That was when I still kept my feelings a secret from almost everyone, including my family. Since then I've spoken with them and started taki

This has been a huge step for me. For at least 2, maybe 3 months, I've allowed my sink to pile up and only cleaned utensils the very moment I needed them. Today I suddenly had the urge to go clean all of it up and wipe down my tabletops. It's incredible. I'm only 2 weeks in but citalopram is letting

some days ago I cut my veins, I’m here cause that didn’t work, Now I have an horrible scar, I’m tired of trying, actually I’m medicated with duloxetina citalopram n risperidona (it’s like we write them in my country) but they aren’t working, my first try was when I was a kid 3-4 it’s strange that a

Doctor thought maybe I was over medicated and discontinued my mood drugs. Just got off citalopram completely. Will start going off wellbutrin next week. I feel wayyyyy better. Not even any suicidal thoughts in the past week. . Who would thought it was the antidepressants causing the depression. Inst

Hey guys, I’m trying to create a public subreddit dedicated to citalopram, and for that I need karma. Please consider helping me by upvoting this post and my post at r/freekarma4u . I know this might be far-fetched, but all I want to do is help people by creating a dedicated place to post their ques
