Pizotifen :: Increased Sex Drive
I have only been taking 3mg for a couple of weeks, but the benefits are huge so far. I suffer from a continuous migrainous headache with regular migraine attacks, but atm I am totally headache free.
This past week I have noticed that my sex drive has increased, much to my husbands delight. I think this is probably because I am feeling so well and full of energy. But I also wonder if this is a possible side effect of the drug?
Has anyone else felt that Pizotifen has affected their sex drive?

View 1 RepliesVenlafaxine :: Venlafaxine XL - Less Side Effects
I've been on it for years and it's been brilliant. I was tired all the time and it gave me new energy.
The downside is that if you miss a couple of doses the withdrawal side-effects are quite horrendous. Venlafaxine XL (time released ones) are gentler with the side effects than the ordinary ones.
They've definitely worked for me.
Schizophrenia :: Clozapine Can Be Increased By 150 Mg At Once?
I was tapering off clozapine and my paranoia came back. I went from 300 to 250 in a week then from 250 to 200 in another week and so on until I got down to 50. When my paranoia came back, I immediately started taking 200. Should I have slowly increased my dose? After I increased it, I got a sore throat for three days and a runny nose with lots of coughing up phlegm for a week. I'm wondering if it's from the clozapine. Is it dangerous to increase clozapine like this?
View 1 RepliesBarrett's Oesophagus Has Increased?
A recent study showed 20 years on most patients' Barrett's segment lengths remained the same as at initial diagnosis.
Thus it was with some confidence I approached my surveillance gastroscopy yesterday that my 3 cm circumferential band of non-dysplastic Barrett's would show no changes.
Awake throughout the rather longer than usual procedure (unfortunately sedation has no effect on me), I listened to the doctor call out the distances to her recording nurse as she took 20 biopsies and realised this was longer than 3 cm.
"8 centimeters", she confirmed when I asked her afterwards. ""Full circumference lower down and patchy higher up."
I was astounded. With my Nissen fundoplication years ago and the Collis-Nissen revision last year reducing reflux, I hadn't expected that.
It took my wife to unravel the blindingly obvious.
"Doesn't the Collis procedure lengthen your oesophagus?"
"Yes."
"And what constitutes that increased length?"
Of course. The extended oesophagus is lined with gastric cells. And the length of that extension? - About 5 cm.
The biopsies for the bottom 5 cm will show gastric cells which, depending on histopathology, may be interpreted as gastric metaplasia but not intestinal metaplasia.
I feel sure my previous 3 cm of non-dysplastic Barrett's remains unchanged but has 5 cm of stomach cells lining the extended oesophagus below.

View 2 RepliesProstate Cancer? Increased PSA Level From 4.2 To 6.6
My psa level increased from 4.2 at the end of 2012 to 6.6 twelve months later at the end of 2013. My doctor sent me to a urologist who ordered another psa test and that came back at 11.00. There was only 3 weeks between my 6.6 reading and this latest one at 11.00. The urologist thinks that this huge increase is unlikely to be a cancer and wants me to have another test in 4 weeks time.
View 3 RepliesFluoxetine :: Rough Day 3 After Increased Dose
I'm on day 3 of 40 mg (I did two weeks on 20 first) Day one I was okay but yesterday I felt completely scattered, anxious and couldn't keep it together. I've just (sort of reluctantly) taken my dose today, day 3. I've read that the first week of an increase can be rough. Any advice? I've been on lexapro previously for depression and anxiety but my current doctor thinks that I have ocpd (which leads to my dep/anx) so she is trying the fluoxetine. I really really want to be able to function better.

View 38 RepliesNo Sex Drive - Low Testosterone
I am a 38 year old male that has been experiencing some problems lately. I find myself fatigued from morning til night, around the clock. I have no motivation or energy to do ANYTHING. It's beginning to affect my work life as well as my sex life. I literally have no sex drive and I am engaged to the most wonderful woman. However I am so scared to lose her and feel as though she thinks I don't desire her.
I have had to sets of blood work done to see what's going on. Results came back showing my testosterone was low. A lot of the numbers and data I have no Idea what it means. However when he said the normal testosterone range for males was mid 300-s up to 1100 and mine came in at 241...I obviously am very concerned.
He sent me to an endocrinologist to have even more work done so that they could determine treatment. Needless to say, I'm nervous, exhausted and feel like I'm existing away.
I will admit, I didn't do my body good in my early 20's as I did take steroids to bulk up. It have me energy and I felt great. But did I ruin my body? It's also hard to say...because maybe I have low T back then and the steroids helped me feel better!? Idk. I would like to have energy again, a sex drive, and have kids with my beautiful fiance one day.
Mirtazapine :: Weight Gain And Increased Appetite
I've been on Mirtazapine (30mg) for roughly 10-11 months now after suffering with my second bout of severe depression in 2 years and although this drug has helped me overcome my depression, I cannot seem to get rid of the excess weight that I have gained whilst taking it.
I am a very active guy, I play football twice a week and do lots of cardio but it seems whatever I eat, it goes straight to my belly. This has pretty much always been the case with me throughout my life.
I think I was roughly 15.5 stone when I started on Mirtazapine in July 2014 but I now weigh roughly 17.5 stone. I am 6ft7 in height so I guess I needed to put on a few pounds (as I was quite slim previously) but 2 stone is a rather big weight gain.
For an unknown reason I always feel hungriest late at night, does anyone else get this symptom? I take the tablet every night before I go to sleep (around 10:30pm).
How long are you supposed to take this drug for before reducing the dosage? Obviously the last thing I want is to become depressed again so I don't mind taking it but I would be interested to see if my weight decreases if I was to lower the dosage to say 15mg.
Severe Anxiety And Depression - Paroxetine Increased To 30 Mg
I've recently upped my dosage of paroxetine to 30 mg following the doctor's advice. I'm on day 6 of 30 mg and wondered how long it would take for me to get back to "normal". I was in 20mg but it suddenly stopped working 3 1/2 months ago and I had a suicidal episode. Since then I have been living in fear and am constantly in edge. I am a single mum to a 16m girl and I just want to get back to normal and be a good mum. Please help if anyone has any experience of upping their dosage!
I am scared of being on my own in case I have another episode like the one 3 months ago where I had to be taken to hospital. It was very traumatic and has ruined my life. I know I don't want to kill myself, I wouldn't do that to my daughter or family, I just get strong waves sometimes and feel exceptionally low. I know this has occurred because of a mess up of my medication, when weaning me off the tablets, the doctor I'll advised me to cut them in half. I now know this was a stupid thing to do. I just wondered how long it will take me to even out or if I'm ever going to get back to " normal"

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 3 weeks ago. It goes hand in hand with my hypertension and although I have various appointments for dietitian, podiatrist, eye testing, bloods etc, I feel a bit confused just now. I've got tablets for cholesterol too. I want to manage these things as best I can but my eyesight is terrible - suddenly worse than before and I worry about what to eat (although presumably that will be sorted out with the dietitian. I just feel a bit lost just now. I'm a fit (but overweight) person and feel it's all a little unfair really. It's easter and everyone's tucking into chocolate eggs and I'm not!! I'm really feeling sorry for myself today aren't I? Any advice and or assurance would be very welcome at this point.
