Add nonpharmacologic: Exercise-one hour a day is great.
I can be walking. In this beautiful weather it can be very relaxing.
Also deep breathing is great.
Nothing helps as well as talking to a friend and making plans to get together.
Hope you're better soon.

Question 2

hello docs. i was wondering can wellbutrin, (bupropion) elavil, and lexapro be used together?

Accepted Answer

I would not prescrib: I would not  prescribe the combo, since I am straining trying to think why three antidepressants would be necessary. Risks are serotonin syndrome from Elavil and lexapro, (escitalopram) qtc interval prolongation  with Lexapro (escitalopram) and Elavil which can lead to a fatal arrhythmia and which would require serial ekg monitoring, lowering of the seizure threshold by all three. Please discuss this with your prescribing physician.

Question 3

buspar (buspirone) xanax, can you take them together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, they do not interact.

Question 4

can brintellix and buspar (buspirone) taking together?

Accepted Answer

Drug interaction: Concurrent use of BuSpar (buspirone) &amp; Brintellix (vortioxetine) could increase risk for serotonin syndrome.

Question 5

can i take wellbutrin and buspar (buspirone) together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. If you have an anxiety diagnosis (which is suggested by your interest in buspar), be aware that wellbutrin (bupropion) sometimes can aggravate anxiety. Wellbutrin (bupropion) is very handy to have around for many cases of depression, add, and smoking cessation, and is usually well-tolerated. But there is that potential for aggravating anxiety.

Question 6

Yes: They both r a little sedative but shouldn't b much of a problem.

Question 7

can you take tramadol and elavil (amitriptyline) together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While these medications can potentiate each other, they are usually safe to use together.  Consult your prescriber to be sure it is safe for you.

Question 8

is it safe to take celexa (citalopram) and elavil together?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If your doctor has prescribed these medicines it will likely be safe.  Elavil (amitriptyline) in low dose may help with headaches and other chronic pain syndromes.  It's usually given at bedtime.  Both can affect serotonin levels, so the doses are important. Ask your doctor about any concerns you have about these prescriptions.

Question 9

is it safe to take buspar (buspirone) and melatonin together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You would want to be aware of the possibility of increased sedation and headaches, but this combination is likely to be safe.

Question 10

Signs and symptoms: agitation or restlessness, confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils. loss of muscle coordination, twitching muscles, muscle rigidity, heavy sweating, diarrhea, headache, shivering &amp; goose bumps, high fevers, seizures, irregular heartbeat and unconsciousness.
