I'm a 17 year old guy, and I've taken zoloft for the past two years for depression and anxiety. I always wish I had more of a sex drive because I don't masturbate more than once or twice a week usually. But, I forgot to take my medicine for the past two days and today, I noticed that I was checking out every attractive guy (I'm gay) I come across. And I'm actually aroused throughout the day like a normal teenaged boy, which I never am. Is this just in my head, or does zoloft ruin your sexy drive? And if so, what can I do to make it thrive again? Thanks! >>More<<

I have been taking Bupropion HCl (generic Wellbutrin) 150mg XL once a day for anxiety for about 2-3 months. It has worked well but I still get a little anxious. So, my doctor told me to take 2 daily, which equals 300mg in the morning. This morning was the first double dose and around lunch time, I start getting weird side effects like my stomach got sick and then my throat felt full. I got a little anxious. Other side effects included pressure in my ear and the feeling that I needed to burp all the time. Has anyone had anything similar? Thanks. >>More<<

I usually get cramps indicating my period is coming. My period has never been this late, at most 1-3 days late. Weigh 105lbs, Height 5'5, Asian American. My boyfriend, whom I am sexually active with takes a lot of medication for depression and anxiety. (IC Risperidone, IC Divalproex Sod Dr, IC Citalopram Hbr, IC Lithium Carbonate, IC Amphetamine Salts, IC Lorazepam, IC Bupropion Sr.) I believe there may be 1 or 2 medication that changed in the list above just about 1 week ago that constantly makes him thirsty. I do not know what medication he had previously taken. I started going to the gym again, beginning of May, only 2 times a week (it's the only way I know that will allow me to get over 110lbs [building muscle mass], since I'm a busy college student, and not have my mom complain about how skinny I am every time she sees me). I build muscle mass pretty quickly. My starting up workouts aren't intense, 30 mins on a bike, 15 on a treadmill (speed walking), weight training (2 8lb. lad >>More<<

I just out that I am a little over 6 weeks pregnant, the problem is that I have depression, and because of it I was on seroquel(mood stablizer), clonidine(anxiety pill), bupropion(antidepressant), lamictal(mood stablizer) I have taken them everyday for about 3 years. I obviously took myself off them the second I found out, and currently because of the day and time I cannot get in to see either of my doctors right now, however I really need an answer on how urgent this is, and if I should seek IMMEDIATE, my question is how badly could these could effect my unborn baby's health and well being especially this early in the pregnancy, I was on birth control(which I have been on for a few months) so I had no idea this would happen, and I really am concerned please help? >>More<<

For instance, if you were to say, '3-chloro-N-tert-butyl-β-ketoamphetamine,' how would you pronounce it in a sentence? Would it be anything like, "tri-chloro-nitrogen-tertiary-butyl-beta-ketoamphetamine (I'm not actually completely sure if the 'N' stands for nitrogen or not)?" Or perhaps just as it looks: "three-chloro-en-tert-butyl-beta-ketoamphetamine." I know that compound names like these are usually simply not said aloud, and instead replaced with the much breezier standard name, like 'bupropion,' in this case. But when explaining that it's a relative to stimulants, even having 'amphetamine' in it's chemical name, it'd nice to be able to say this specific chemical name out loud. "Bupropion" simply doesn't convey the relation to stimulants very clearly. >>More<<

Been trying to figure out if I have depression or just manic depression. I feel like I only had depression; but then when I started taking a depression medicine a really hyper side came out of me for a period of a few days. The thing is though, that when I felt really hyper, I was talking to a new guy and smoking weed with my roommate every night. Most of the time I would only feel that hyperactivity when I smoked weed. I've been an outgoing and hyper person all my life, unless I'm in class or in public I tend to get really shy. I personally think I only have depression, but my doctor thinks otherwise, because the day I went to his office I felt really hyper, almost a little abnormally hyper but nothing too serious, but I thought it was because I had coffee. I'm really sensitive to coffee. Before I had the coffee though yeah I felt a little imbalanced, but I think I was having one of those days where everything seems a little off. I thought that was normal. But now that my doctor pu >>More<<

Well I've posted on here before, and I got only three answers. I'm 17, I have serious problems with depression, and I could have bipolar disorder. Today, I woke up feeling like crap, and I wanted to kill myself. I've tried to end it all twice before, when I got to my lowest lows, and I failed the first time. The second time, i just didn't have the balls to actually slit my wrists (but I had the knife to them, and I was crying and trying to force myself to do it). Right now, my depression is at that "I don't care or feel any passion about anything stage" and quite frankly, I'm tired of it. I'm sooo frustrated with these ups and downs I have-tommorow I might wake up feeling worse, or feel normal, or maybe be really happy and hopeful again. But these bone-crushing depressions, in which I convince myself that I am woefully inadequate at best, are seriously impairing my ability to work or care about school, or anything else for that matter, since I can't even really get passionate about w >>More<<

Hi I have anxiety, depression and panic disorder. I'm currently taking citlopram 20mg medication. I'm getting better slowly, however I feel like my anxiety although under control brings symptoms even when I'm feeling fine. I have had for a few days a weak feeling in my left side, tingling in my fingertips. I have had this before but it's always gone away. This time I've had a massage and the girl said my muscles in my back were tense and there was a gristle type feeling. It helped me and the symptoms went away..Its the aching that's irritating me at the min..It comes and goes and today (touch wood has been better) I've had bloods that came back normal so I think it must be anxiety. However I don't feel like I have anything to be anxious about..I thought anxiety only came at the time of worry etc... Any advice, help or info is appreciated.. >>More<<

I went to see a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with depression, I have depersonalization as a result of that. Anyways I was given a prescription for Prozac (Fluoxetine) and after reading all the side effects such as sexual dysfunction and suicidal thoughts, i've decided that there is no way I'm going to take prozac. So I looked into a anti depressant called Wellbutrin (Bupropion) and discovered that not only does it not give you sexual dysfunction but it increases your sex drive, makes you lose weight (prozac makes you gain weight) and helps you quit smoking. (I'm a smoker). It seems like the perfect solution for me. Would I be able to ask the psychiatrist to give me a prescription for Bupropion instead or is it take the prozac or take nothing and feel like shit for the rest of your life? >>More<<

I've been on a bunch of medications lately Metformin, Phentermine, Vitamin D- All which I have taken for about 1.5 months I have not had any serious side effects.

I've been struggling with depression/ bipolar II, ADHD for as long as I can remember I've tried therapy four times now and it is still not working I'm on my Fifth medication first was lexapro, then Prozac, at which point they thought I might have bipolar II, after this I stopped going to therapy for around two years ( never really started, the thee shrinks I went to did not work) now I'm back in therapy although I've stopped going to my counselor because it wasn't working ( I'm still seeing a psychiatrist but we only really talk about weather or not my meds are working, or not) after Prozac. I was on seroquil, which kind of worked but gave me the anvil on the head effect which made it impossible to focus in my classes. Then It was lithium that just made me sick, now I'm on Bupropion which has had no effect on my depression/ suicidal thoughts, I'm at the same place as with out meds. Now my shrink is recommending adding seroquil and Ritalin. I find my self drinking and smoking (canna >>More<<

I have some emotional / mood issues that I'm trying to get treated for (been told it could be bipolar / borderline personality) and yesterday I was having these intense mood swings where I could become very angry and violent easily. Last night I felt like I was about to hurt myself or someone around me, and since I didnt want to do either but couldnt seem to get my anger out any other way I took a knife and started stabbing an old desk in the room I was staying in. I was staying with my mom and aunt at the time and they had both been drinking a lot, my aunt walked in and flipped out and managed to take the knife from me. I sat down for a while trying to calm down but I became paranoid and thought I heard my aunt saying she was going to try and take me to a hospital. The last time I was at the hospital it didnt end very well, and all of a sudden I just became terrified and panicked and tried to jump out the window and leave. My aunt knew I wasn't thinking straight and was able to keep >>More<<

I've got nothing going for me except being 6'4". Got aspergers, a very crooked face, baby fat, and a round and weak jaw. That's just appearance wise. Don't mean to be shallow but girls go for looks money and status from what I've observed. I've seen older ugly rich guys with cute girls, hot guys with nice looking girls and thats it. All my parents's male friends who don't have one of these 2 are single height doesn't matter, personality doesn't. Infact my stepdad knows a guy who is a 5/10 who is life of the party, funny and very easy going and has been dating below mediocre women for years. Now he's single. But he goes to bars and clubs. He also talks o women during the day. Back to my issues, my grades are just average therefore it will take writing a good book or creating a business, or winning the lottery in order to give me a stable career.

I have recently been prescribed Wellbutrin for depression and anxiety. After being on the medication for a while I started to notice some unusual changes. I have been having hallucinations for the past week or so. The hallucinations are similar to those of anticholinergics. The hallucinations occur at night more frequently than in the day. When I would try to go to sleep I would see translucent insects all over my walls. This has definitely caused me some anxiety, I do not like spiders or centipedes at all. My question is if this is a side effect of the bupropion. Additional info:I am 15 years old, I am also prescribed 20 mg of adderall. I have been taking adderall for a while now and never had any side effects from it. I'm on 300 mg of Wellbutrin. >>More<<

I do not like this feeling what so ever. Will it pass or should I tell the doctor right away? I forgot to mention that i drank a little bit on the 4th day and on the 5th. >>More<<

Hey. Since almost two years ago I've been very interested in spirituality and all that kind of thing and I've heard taking psychedelics can induce a spiritual and enlightening experience. I'm interested in starting out with fairly weaker psychedelics like small doses of acid or LSD and eventually start on medium doses of mushrooms and eventually DMT and salvia. So this is all fine and dandy but I'm on quite a few medications for mental issues. I listed the drugs I want to try eventually so here's a list of the meds I take and I want to know if any combination of these drugs and my meds can cause bad shit to happen basically. Here they are.

I've been taking Fluoxetine 20mg for depression. I've been on it for over 3 months. For the past month or so, I get extremely tired in the afternoon right around 2 pm and it lasts for hours. I was taking the pill at 6 am so I changed it to noon and that didn't help. I tried quitting it and that was a huge mistake. I'm afraid to take it at bedtime because I have to get up at 6 every morning and I'm worried that it will be difficult for me to wake up. It has also murdered my sex drive. My husband has accused me of cheating because we used to do it two or three times a week and now I'm lucky if I feel like doing it two or three times a month. I'm thinking of talking to my doctor but her office is a long drive. I just wanted to see what your opinions were. Anybody had this problem? What did you do about it? >>More<<

I need sex, and I mean sex to finish, at least 20 times a week. Often, this means I am in the bedroom for 20+ hours every 7 days and my fiancee has a very hard time keeping up despite being in her mid 30s. Masturbation no longer works and hormone treatments are not an option here as I actually have *low* T instead of a high testosterone level. I'm 30 and largely sedentary as most of what I do when I am not doing a cardio workout in bed is working at a computer or driving a car. It's driving her nuts as she feels she can't really do much but stay home after work. I really shouldn't have the sex drive of a porn star, but I just do. It gets overwhelming and when I don't get sex I literally start struggling against a pressure that closes in on my mind and narrows my vision, hindering normal everyday work and life. Sometimes, I have to get away to the men's room and do a martial art meditation paired with willpowering the need away, generally turning it into frustration and coming out in >>More<<

I have been diagnosed with depression, and for the past week or so I have been taking Voxra (contains 150mg of bupropion HCL). Soon after I started the medication I felt as if I had really high fever, even though I didn't have any fever. This has continued ever since then. I cannot walk or stand without feeling very dizzy and nauseated (I eat and drink normally, I do not drink alcohol). Not only that, but I also feel odd sensations of what I imagine is blood gushing in the veins of my head. It's hard to explain, but try to imagine yourself swallowing a mouthful of water. It's like that, a short sensation of something liquid moving. Usually after this, my eye movement is momentarily disturbed (harder to focus gaze, eyes seem to move slower than usual). I'm 18 year old girl, average weight, and I have past experience of antidepressants (I had 200mg Sertraline for a long while before changing to this). Can anyone help me with this?
