Antidepressants
I discuss the differences among the modern antidepressants so the viewer can get basic education about things such as the similarities and differences. I prescribe these on a daily basis in clinical practice… … DOCTOROFMINDMD antidepressants SSRIs NRIs SNRIs medicine psychiatry twitter myspace facebook blog vlog mind psychology news art science people drugs pharmacy medication youth elderly anxiety depression treatment
Doc.. you understand your proffesion! thats for sure. ive been of fluoxitine for about 7 months. i have wokken up! i did not a thing exept eat and watch television. i was so dull. then a little birdie whispered in my ear…..
i read, i have interests, in short, i have woken up. i do stil take clozapine, for messing with my anti psychotica is so last century..
thanks for your light.
does reuptakeing a neurotransmitter mean encouraging its natural synthisis, rather than an agonist which mimics them? allways wondered the difference, thanks doctor, keep em comin
Wow thanks!!!
so what would you recommend for someone who is depressed and already been on SSRI and SNRI meds which pooped out on them? Are MAOI’s that last thing?
Do all antidepressants cause weight gain or loss, because anytime i was on them i lost weight because i just didn’t feel like eating even if the nicest food ever! i’d have no interest in, while on them. plus prozac dont help with panic tryed it and can’t sleep either.
thanks for the vid.
yes take them
its the new laptop rather than the camera
no i dont know yet
Doc, here is a question I have always meant to ask one of my own physicians:
If you yourself were bothered by “depression” (we will say that you have suicidal thoughts but can still function in day to day life), would you take an antidepressant? The question interests me because I am a “high functioning” type of patient, and well up on all of the problems these drugs can bring to the table.
As a prescribing physician, do you have a different attitude toward taking these meds?
dr, there’s an antidepressant drug available outside the usa, tineptine…trade names stablon, tatinol, it’s an SSRE. do you have any information on it, or why it’s not marketed in the usa? also, valdoxan (trade name) is a new drug that went on sale in europe this year. anything about these new types of drugs? both seem very promising and have fewer side effects than the typical ssri, ssni, etc.
fantastic, glad you are making long videos now.
Thanks! I love the list of side effects…made me laugh…I’m only on 10 mg…thank you again!
yes they mix ok together.. you may get a little manicy on the lexapro, i hope its only 10 mg and not 20 mg , 20 mg is too strong. especially going into the spring with history of psychosis, but its also good to treat depression.. i would go for it but be careful of acivation, see my vid on lexpro (escitalopram), its safe to mix with invega and neurontin… it can cause sexual dysfunction,nausea, sweating, teeth grinding, insomnia, anxiety, agitation, suicidality, bruising, headaches.otherwise ok
I told you about my drug mixture before and I went back to my psychiatrist today and he gave me Lexipro along with my Invega and Neurontin…what do you think of this mixture? do you think lexipro and invega do well together? your opinion means alot to me…thanks
You don’t hear enough about Reboxetine.
I’ve always been interested in that one.
hum interesting
yes thats st. johns. wort = hypericum= MAO Inhibitor (see vid), do not mix with prescription psychiatric medications one or the other !
Just figure it out; it´s Herba Hypericum and yes it works! Sometimes another medication is needed:-)
(suicidal risk).
Most People needs a
high dose from this Drug and should avoid/ be careful too much Sun during the Therapy.
Jörg
Not anymore! 5HTP is not (very) effectiv,
takes a lot of time and is expensive.
I like this medication, because non toxic and also no side effect´s:-) For the herbal medication; I DON´T KNOW the name St. John wort.
Jörg
I actually read that herbal remedies, such as St. John’s wort, and 5HTP were first line treatments for depression in places like Germany.
Good information and thank you.
there is a difference but not much 37 vs 42 percent response SSRI vs SNRI but generally good point, your smart
I wouldn’t necessarily agree that SSRIs are weak. In various studies, the efficacy ratings are not proven to be better on patients that take SSRI vs SNRIs
