DULOXETINE vs OLANZAPINE

I am a 28 year old man and I've just realized that nothing interests me. I believe that it might be connected to depression as I am on medication for depression and anxiety (duloxetine) I am not really sad or anything. I am just very neutral. Things that used to interest, excite me and make me happ

I have been recovering from over a decade of major depressive disorder and recently diagnosed bipolar II. I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel with Lamotrigine and lifestyle changes, and after several mental health evaluations, my psychiatrist gave me the best news ever; I can stop taking antid

Hi, just wondering if this is a common experience: So i've been taking agomelatine 50mg for about 5 months and duloxetine 60mg for 3 months now for severe depression and anxiety. The antidepressants have been working just as intended in the sense that most of the mental agony has gone, but there's

I ( M23) have been taking duloxetine 60 mg for 2 years now. While it has helped tremendously with my anxiety/depression/DPDR, it did cause sexual side effects for me. (I also take lamotrigine, but that is unlikely to cause effects like this) For me, these sides were very annoying; my main problem wa

Entry time 8:55am Before I went to sleep last night, I had nurses come 2 times, around 9:30pm and then at 10:40pm asking if I wanted to take some anxiety medication to help me sleep better. I refused both times as it wasn't initially prescribed, and in general I don't have a problem sleeping. My al

UHC is canceling coverage of my medication: Lamotrigine, Atomoxetine, and Duloxetine. Starts in January. Im barely getting by as it is. I need to find new insurance asap (Im in the USA). Its no wonder they were targeted. I just learned that they deny the most coverage of any US health insurer. Wtf a

Since the late of 2019 year, till now I've tried: 1- Escitalopram "Lexapro" (tried Atomoxetine "Strattera" with it, then stopped it due to its bad effects) (tried Risperidone "Rispardal" then stopped it, it hasn't only bad effects, but also highly increased prolactin) 2- Fluoxetine "Prozac" 3- Bupro

You know how a lot of sources say working towards a goal and then achieving it gives a sense of reward via dopamine? This week I got a pay rise, achieved a fitness goal I've been working towards for months and even got asked out on a date by someone quite attractive. But I feel absolutely nothing.

Risperidone made me lactate... yep Latuda made me throw up every single time I took it Olanzapine made me feel like I was drunk Seroquel made me gain 40kg and Lamotrigine gave me the rash

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times

8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?

So they admitted me to the psych ward a few days ago after my last post. The first night i couldn't keep my blankie and blew up and punched the shit out of my face so i have two big black eyes and my whole right hand is greeny purple. When the psychiatrist saw me the next morning (sobbing and hyster

i have a ton of questions that i would love to unload on people. but just for now i would like to know one thing... i have meds now "olanzapine" through my psychiatrist. what is something you wish you knew before taking your meds that you know now? also im not worried about the meds, i'm just being

I’m 30. I have struggled with this my whole life , unbeknownst to me. I went to multiple doctors and counselors, especially after I had my kids and was crying to them telling them there is something wrong with me please figure it out. They did labs and all kinds of testing. They told me it was in m

Anyone else have bipolar and told you have to take meds for life? I am worried about the long term effects of the meds but I am also worried about how I would do if I went off them. I am currently doing great. My meds are zyprexa/olanzapine and lithium.

And holy shit do I stink now. Not my whole body, mostly the armpits and it's like the really sharp and nasty sweat smell that usually comes from men who don't know what a deodorant is. This is what I wake up to every morning, F31 (Oh hey, that's the code for BP, never noticed this). Tbf I sweat exc
