Despite overwhelming evidence and even FDA black-box warnings, Prozac withdrawal symptoms tend to get blamed on the patient rather than the drug itself.
Prozac can have extraordinary side effects and debilitating withdrawal characteristics for certain persons. Disturbingly, these patients tend to get disregarded and minimized for their very real suffering.
Do Your Symptoms Require Prozac?
SSRI drugs such as Prozac are used in treating MDD (major depressive disorder). There are about half a dozen SSRIs that the FDA has approved for treating depression, each having similar characteristics and efficacy. Prozac is the one that remains approved for prescribing to young people, and that is possibly why the number of Prozac prescriptions tends to outweigh the other drugs in this class.
Prozac alternative treatments are available but sadly ignored in the main by doctors and others who may not have been trained in such methods, using non-drug-based protocols. Alternative to Meds Center specializes in alternative treatments for Prozac withdrawal, and for recovering natural mental health without prescription drugs.
Alternative to Meds has expertise acquired over 15 years of helping clients through tapering and withdrawal of antidepressants. We have published evidence clearly demonstrating that more than three-quarters of our clients tapering off fluoxetine or other drugs do better by tapering off them and replacing prescription drugs with a holistic lifestyle and other non-toxic choices to authentically and truly improve their health.
Risks of Prozac
In addition to questions about its value as an antidepressant, Prozac also presents some significant risks. First, common negative side effects include nausea, increased anxiety, trouble sleeping, and fatigue. While less rare, some patients also report significant changes to their mood, uncontrollable muscle spasms, tremors, and a decreased libido. One of the most serious possible side effects is increased thoughts of suicide.There is also a heightened chance of developing serotonin syndrome while taking Prozac. Because the drug interferes with the natural serotonin uptake process, it’s possible for you to end up with too much serotonin. Increased serotonin levels subject you to all sorts of negative symptoms on top of Prozac’s side effects and the initial condition that prompted your doctor to prescribe Prozac in the first place.
To stop using Prozac, it’s necessary for patients to slowly taper their dosage because stopping suddenly can lead to withdrawal syndrome. Additionally, it’s possible for your body to adapt so thoroughly to Prozac that it becomes physically dependent on it just to function normally, making it even more difficult to transition away from use.
Prozac, Zoloft, and Luvox
Often, the names of Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, and other drugs are easily confused, as they are all classified as antidepressants and SSRIs. The three are used so interchangeably it might make a person wonder, what is Luvox (fluvoxamine)? Is Luvox the same as Prozac? Is there a difference between Prozac and Zoloft? Each of these drugs has a different active ingredient. Prozac depends on the active ingredient fluoxetine. Meanwhile, Zoloft has the active ingredient sertraline, and Luvox has the active ingredient fluvoxamine. All these ingredients have the same basic purpose, but they affect your body in diverse ways. For example, Prozac has different withdrawal symptoms than Zoloft, Luvox side effects differ from Prozac’s, and Zoloft uses differ a bit as compared to Luvox uses. Although both Prozac and Zoloft are Luvox alternatives, the smallest of differences could lead to a significant and different impacst on your health.

Video Production by Joshua Melendez
Partial Video Transcript:
"So you've been suggested to start a medication called Spironolactone for your acne. Now the interesting thing is that Spironolactone is not FDA-approved to treat acne. It's actually a blood pressure medication.
Now Spironolactone works by blocking the effects of testosterone, the male predominant hormone in your skin. Now if we think about it, testosterone is what gives us oil. Oil is what feeds the whole cycle of acne. So if we're blocking the effects of testosterone on the skin, then hopefully we're reducing the excess of oil that's produced in the skin, and then that's how your acne gets better. Now it's not too often prescribed for blood pressure because it really doesn't do that much for blood pressure, unless you increase, the dose is very high. But what they noticed when they did the studies decades ago on this, was that women who took Spironolactone and had acne, almost all of their acne went away. And so dermatologists, we've been writing Spironolactone for decades, and we've had very good luck with it. It's almost like a miracle medication for women who have acne, especially acne in areas where men have a beard, and when you get it on your forehead. And if you have that type of acne and it flares right around your menstrual cycle, then Spironolactone is probably going to be the home run for your acne..."

⏱️05:20 ► Conclusion
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
1) Swelling in the Ankles and Feet
Amlodipine can cause edema which is swelling in the ankles, feet, or hands. This side effect occurs because amlodipine relaxes and widens the blood vessels, which can cause fluid to accumulate in the lower extremities. This affects about 10 percent or more patients taking amlodipine.
2) Dizziness and Lightheadedness
One of the common side effects of taking amlodipine is dizziness and lightheadedness. These sensations can occur due to a drop in blood pressure caused by the medication. While dizziness and lightheadedness can be concerning, there are several strategies you can try to minimize their impact. Firstly, it's important to remember to get up slowly from a seated or lying position.
3) Headaches
Headaches are a common side effect of taking amlodipine, but they don't have to ruin your day. Headaches which usually goes away within a week of starting amlodipine. Getting enough rest and ensuring that you are well-hydrated may help with headaches or ask your doctor or pharmacist for a pain reliever recommendation.
4) Muscle Cramps
Muscle cramps can be an uncomfortable and painful side effect of taking amlodipine. These cramps, often felt in the legs, occur due to the medication's effect on the smooth muscle tissue in the blood vessels.
While muscle cramps can be bothersome, there are strategies you can try to manage and reduce their frequency.
5) Flushing
Flushing, or a warm sensation in the skin, is another common side effect of amlodipine. It is characterised by a temporal redness, warmth or darkening of the skin. It's usually in the face or neck.
Female are more like to experience these side effects than males

Videoconsejo sanitario sobre Trazodona, para qué sirve este medicamento, cuándo y cómo debemos tomarlo. Videoconsejo impartido por el farmacéutico Jorge Gómez-Carpintero, elaborado por el Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos y producido por Medicina TV.
Trazodona es un fármaco que está indicado en el tratamiento de episodios depresivos mayores y de estados mixtos de depresión y ansiedad, asociados o no a insomnio secundario.
Actúa aumentando los niveles del neurotransmisor cerebral llamado serotonina, tanto inhibiendo su recaptación como ejerciendo acción antagonista de receptores serotoninérgicos 2A.
En farmacias, la trazodona está disponible en comprimidos de 100 mg. Los medicamentos con trazodona siempre se dispensarán con receta médica.
La dosis diaria puede variar, desde 100 mg hasta un máximo de 400 mg, o bien tomados tras las comidas o bien en una dosis única antes de acostarse.
Como ocurre con todos los antidepresivos, los efectos pueden tardar varios días o unas pocas semanas en aparecer, por lo que no debes preocuparte si no notas mejoría al principio.
Si durante el tratamiento con trazodona notas que los síntomas empeoran es importante que lo consultes con tu médico. También, si tienes un familiar en tratamiento con trazodona u otro antidepresivo, avisa al médico o al farmacéutico si notas que está sufriendo cambios negativos de humor o de comportamiento.
Muchos medicamentos y algunas plantas pueden interaccionar con el tratamiento con trazodona. Por ello, debes informar a tu médico sobre el resto de tu medicación, aunque se trate de medicamentos y otros productos que no requieran receta.
Los efectos adversos más comunes provocados por trazodona son somnolencia, mareo y fatiga. No obstante, si observas algún efecto adverso durante el tratamiento que consideres grave, consulta con tu médico.
De igual modo, no debes reducir o suspender bruscamente el tratamiento sin consultarlo previamente, pues existe el riesgo de que aparezca un síndrome de abstinencia con efectos potencialmente graves.
Y recuerda, pregunta siempre a tu farmacéutico de confianza. Te informaremos sobre cómo debes tomar trazodona y sobre cualquier otra duda que tengas.

#Akathisia #Antipsychotics #EPS #Psychopharmacology
Akathisia is usually a side effect of antipsychotic drugs. It is a movement disorder that makes it hard to stay still, and causes an urge to move that you can’t control.
I have experienced akathisia quite a number of times and it is truly dreadful. The way I describe it is by equating it somewhat to the feeling you get if you’ve drank way too much coffee. A friend of mine calls this sensation the feeling of “doom” and that absolutely is what akathisia feels like - doom.
Basically what it can feel like is an inner restlessness that makes you want to just jump out of your skin. You may need to fidget all the time, walk around, or do things like crossing and uncrossing your legs.
In this video, I go over symptoms, causes, types, treatments, and prognosis' for akathisia.

This video discusses the effects and side effects of prednisone, a glucocorticoid used to treat autoimmune diseases and inflammation. It highlights the drug's potential for causing muscle breakdown, bone loss, and significant physical changes like "moon face" and "buffalo hump." Prednisone can also lead to metabolic issues, mood changes, and increased infection risk due to immune suppression. The importance of tapering off the medication gradually is emphasized, it’s advisable to download your own "Prednisone Checklist" as a tool to help manage side effects.
Key Takeaways:
1. Prednisone's Classification and Effects: Prednisone is a catabolic glucocorticoid steroid, distinct from anabolic steroids, and is used to treat autoimmune diseases and inflammation. It can lead to muscle breakdown and bone loss, potentially causing conditions like sarcopenia and osteoporosis.
2. Physical and Metabolic Changes: The drug can cause significant physical changes, such as "moon face" and "buffalo hump," due to fat and water redistribution. It also affects metabolic processes, increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and significant weight gain, often described as a "watermelon" appearance.
3. Mood and Sleep Disturbances: Prednisone can cause mood changes, including euphoria, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. These side effects can be distressing and may persist over time.
4. Immune Suppression and Stress Response: While prednisone suppresses the immune system to reduce inflammation, it also increases the risk of infections. It disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, impairing the body's stress response.
5. Importance of Tapering and Management: It is crucial to taper off prednisone gradually to allow the adrenal system to recover. “Prednisone Checklist” is a tool designed to help manage side effects, providing strategies for prevention and management, and can be shared with healthcare providers and family members.

Dr. Ruben Niesvizky, Dr. Adriana Rossi and Karen Pekle, NP, healthcare professionals at the Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Myeloma Center, discuss the important role steroids play in myeloma treatment, as well as how to overcome some of the common steroid side effects.
Steroids have the ability to stop white blood cells from traveling to areas where cancerous myeloma cells are causing damage. This decreases the swelling and inflammation in those areas, relieving associated pain and pressure.
Many patients ask why steroids are important and how they can overcome common side effects. Our experts weigh in and share some tips.
