Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 HI , I had not heard about this, but it is interesting. Dr. Koran at Stanford University is conducting a similar study about the effects of morphine on OCD patients who have not been helped by the SSRI's.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 Kel's doctor told me a couple of weeks ago that he'd just returned from a pharmaceuticals seminar and not only was there nothing new on the horizon to treat OCD, there was nothing interesting " in the pipeline.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 Hi Lesli, Could the doctor's name be Victor Carrion? We met with him at Stanford and had a good experience with him. He is very compassionate and knowledgable. Re: New medication >HI , > >I had not heard about this, but it is interesting.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 In a message dated 11/23/2005 3:04:50 P.M. Central Standard Time, rnpyoungblood@... writes: got a new medication from my pain management doctor called Amitriptyline and its for depression and nerve pain. I'm taking it for the nerve pain only and I was wondering if anyone in here has taken it or know someone who has and what to expect. I hate taking medication the side effects are always worst than the pain. So far the only side effect is drowsness so I take it at bedtime. I take this, and my only side effect has been the drowsiness. I also noticed that I was thirsty more so I was drinking more water than usual, but nothing that inconvenient. For me, it has been the only thing, other than pain medication that has given me any relief. (TN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 HI Patty, I have been on this med since April of this year. It has been a help to me in alleviating some of my pain issues in that I can do a little more; stay active a little longer during the day than I've been able in 4 years. I have had a rough time with the dehydration side effect for the last 3 weeks and this past week has made me wonder if the benefits outweigh this side effect. Also have to deal with feeling " woozy " which food and/or water are supposed alleviate - haven't had great success with this yet. Otherwise I give this med a " thumbs up " critique.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 My son was prescribed a small amount of Prozac for anxiety. We wanted just enough to help him relax more so he could participate more at school and help him interact with other people. So we started with a really low dose and gradually increased it. Medication really helped him. We avoided medication for a long time, but reached a point where we felt that he needed more help. My advice is to keep a close watch on how your son reacts to the medicine and go slow on increasing the dosage. Some kids can have side effects or reach a point where the medication doesn't help anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 My. AS daughter (17) was taking Prozac for almost 2 yrs.(12-13) She noticed side effects and stopped. I think it helped for a while but at some points she somehow felt like a robot.She has many issues right now but at least she finished her first semester in college with a 3.9 GPA.
