Walt D asked:


I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, Panic Disorder, and depression. My doctros have me on prozac, which definitely helps, but one of the side effects is that I am always tired and in addition have trouble focusing on school/work. Any other similar medications without these side effects?

I recently started taking Prozac, 10 mgs. for depression. I immediately got anorgasmia, and a significantly lowered libido. My psych. says this may get better with time, but my understanding is that these types of side effects rarely improve. Anyone know the answer to this?

kimpenn09 asked:


I have been on Prozac for a while. It’s done wonders for my OCD, but not for my depression. The doctor suggested combining the two.
I trust my doctor and understand that sometimes a “cocktail” of drugs are necessary. I’m curious to know if anyone else has experience with this specific combination.

My doctor wants me to take Prozac for Depression/OCD but I am also taking Levothyroxine for an under-active thyroid. Does anyone know from personal experience if this is a good idea or not? My doctor seems a bit vague on the whole subject.

I am thinking about using Cialis while rolling.

Anyone ever tried it? Email me directly if you want to remain anonymous. I am very interested to know if there are any health consequences.

“Rolling” is not getting stoned. It has to do with another substance that, if named, will cause this question to be deleted. It was legal once and used to treat depression. Then people started using it for fun and it was banned. It is commonly used at ‘raves.’ It has no X in the word, but has been called that.

Now, I really want to know the answer, so please don’t report this question. Thanks!

I’ve been taking fexofenadine for the past couple months for my allergies. Within the past two weeks I have become depressed. I looked it up online it says that depression is a side effect. Have any of you heard of anything?

Tash asked:


i.e. Telfast, Allegra
A few months ago I went on holiday & wanting to enjoy the break without my stupid allergies dragging me down, I took them for 6 days.

Before taking them I was fine.By the end of those 6 days, I was suicidally depressed, anxious, jumpy & feeling thoroughly mentally messed up. I thought I’d gone certifiably insane until a nurse friend of mine told me that Fexofenadine could be doing it. I stopped taking it immediately & returned to normal.

Last night I had to go to a friends house and they have cats which I’m allergic to. Usually I leave there with blood red eyes, choking, wheezing and feeling like crap.I didn’t want to be sick as it was Christmas, so I took one tablet and hey presto the next day my head is a total mess. I thought I could get away with one but obviously not.

Medical sites in the UK&US warn of these symptoms but no Australian(I’m in Australia) sites mention it.
I’ve also found instances in the US where people have been hospitalized with psychosis after taking it. Even the leaflets given out overseas with Fexofenadine mention these symptoms. But NONE of the doctors or pharmacists I’ve spoken to here acknowledge this. They keep saying that the old fashioned antihistamines caused those problems but that Fexofenadine is ‘new and improved’ and has few if any side effects.

Has anyone else here had a problem like this with Fexofenadine? Why are these side effects know of overseas, but not in Australia?

DQ asked:


1) Sleep aid
2) Depression
3) To get boost of energy
4) To help with my pain (was told only little bit of help though)

I was told it can be used for my sleep problem with the first night I be out without problems is this true?

Margarita =:-) asked:


I know some people that are on antidepressants and or other medication and they go out drinking anyways.. I am just wondering I have nothing against people who do so but should reconsider what they are doing to themselves.

This is a two question thing:

1) What does happen when people mix alcohol with their medication example antidepressants and what does it lead to or happens?

2) Do they drink to help loosen up or shake off the bad feelings that they are feeling inside such as depression related things?

Thank you
