Anxiety and depression oftentimes go together. The weight gain is not surprising some due to the medication, and some due to lower metabolic rate, and low exercise, and emotional eating. There may be genetic influences for diabetes and she must take precautions. There seem to be some psychological problems that need investigation and treatment from a counselor too. I believe there may be some genetic predisposition or there has been some childhood issue, related to anger and fear, that needs urg...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Take venlafaxine once or twice a day as recommended by your doctor. It's best to take venlafaxine with food so it doesn't make you feel sick.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

I am 33 years old. I am in depression since 4 years. I consulted a psychiatrist nearby and recommended tablets like venlift lonazep and nexito. Still I am continuing this tablet. Even then I am not able to get out of depression. I had ect treatments 4 times too. This is not my my first episode in depression. While I was studying in 9th I got this feel first time, but I didn't know the way to express my difficulties to my parents. They also never able to understand my illness. It last for nearly 15 to 20 days. And then I got into normal without treatment. Next this depression we episodes continued to be repeated in my life. 2nd episode while doing 11th std and it last for 1 month and left untreated, 3rd and 4th episodes while I was doing 2nd year and 4 th year irrespectively. These last for 3 months and 6 months respectively and back to normal. And again 4th episode while I am doing pg in 2011 and it last for nearly an year and back to normal again. But every time I am in depression it was severe, sleepless nights, over thinking,suicidal thoughts etc etc o suffered a lot and left untreated and the current episode started in the year 2015 with same symptoms when my son was one year old. I told to my wife, initially she also not able to understand, then we both went to psychiatrist. They prescribed medicines. Monthly once I used to visit my doctor. With same consulting doctor I am taking medicines for 4 years. Even then I am not able to come out of depression completely. Some symptoms of depressions r still there but not severe, recently in one medical check up, the report told that I have less semen count so they told this is the reason we are struggling to get the second baby. And they prescribed some tablets for one month related to that. After two my wife got conceived and we confirmed it and sad news is that when we went for periodic checkup at the stage of two months pregnancy in the scan the report impression was missed abortion. Shall I stop taking tablets of depression because I studied that these tablets causes sexual dysfunction side effects. What to do. Please give me suggestions how to come out of this long term depression and to lead a peaceful life. Pls.

If you have been on antidepressants for 4 years continuously and for the previous times you have had four different episodes it seems like you have depression with dysthymia. We call it double depression and it needs treatment on a long term basis. You also mention that you have had ect. However you do not mention how many treatments you received and what was their outcome. If you want to go off of antidepressants you might need to gradually taper them off, while being on a different kind of the...more

Hello there, This is Nasrat, 29 years old, I`m suffering form depression since last four years while I have last my beloved brother. So, I took different kinds of medications such as fluoxetine 20 mg, escitalopram 10 mg, paroxetine 10 mg, mirtazapine USP 15 mg, venlafaxine Hcl 75 mg, Lithium carbonate B.P. 400 mg etc. But still I have the same problem, difficulty in thinking (poor concentration, poor memory), excessive feel of guilt, loss of interest in most activities, sleep disturbances, decreased energy or tiredness, feeling of low self confidence, feeling of hopelessness, decrease in activity, excessive or inappropriate worries, anticipation of the worst, thoughts of suicide. Besides, I have premature ejaculation and no sexual desire. So, I`m really disappointed. Are there any solution for my problems? Its mentionable that when I was in Japan, I took Lorazepam (0, 5 mg), Brotizlolam (0, 25 mg), Trazodone (25 mg), Suvorexant (20 mg), Escitalopram (10 mg), Lansoprazole (15 mg) for 8 months, with those medications I felt very well, but unfortunately, when I returned to my country, there were no those medications available, and my depression attacked me again. So, dear doctors Please please please recommend me what to do? I`m not interested to live in this world but, I`m the only person to support my big family. At the same time, I took (Clarithromycin 500 mg, Amoxicillin 1000 mg 14 days), (Lansoprazole 30 mg 3 months) for positive h pylori but did not work. Again, I took (Clarithromycin 500 mg, metronidazole, Amoxicillin 1000 mg 14 days), (esomeprazole 40 mg 3 months) for positive h pylori but still I have the same issue. Your cooperation would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Dear lybrate-user,
You need a proper diagnosis before going in for treatment. If h pylori is confirmed, it needs active treatment. Premature ejaculation and loss of sexual desire also needs to be diagnosed and treated. At Japan, you were treated with Lorazepam (available in India). Instead of brotizolam, you can try etizolam available in India. Trazodone available in India. Suvorexant is another mild hypnotic. You don't need so many hypnotic and anxiolytic. Lorazepam or etizolam will do. Esc...more

Hi, by the list of medications I can understand that you have tried a lot of medicines. Still your problem is not resolved. Since you are near to bangalore the best way I could suggest is visit nimhans bangalore and consult a psychiatrist and a therapist for your current problem you might need more of therapy and a different kind of antipsychotic which works for dysthymia. The medicines which you have mentioned are antidepressants and does not necessarily work in dysthymia.

Hello! I have been suffering from severe major depression and anxiety since 3 years. I changed many doctors and medicines but to no avail. The doctor I am seeing currently diagnosed me with treatment resistant depression and bipolar effective disorder a year ago, even though I do not experience the manic highs or even hypomania. He put me through ect 22 times which only marginally improved my situation, before ect I used to cry and yell all day. I have extreme fatigue, low motivation, anger irritation, fear, loss of appetite, weight gain due to medications, tremors, loss of confidence, crying spells, blurred vision and extreme weakness due to depression. I am terrified of going outside and blurred vision adds to the fear. Doctors have tried almost all medications: venlafaxine, escitalopram, olanzapine, quetiapine, lithium, valproic acid, paroxetine, clomipramine, and anxiety meds like xanax, rivotril, amylene etc. Right now doctor has put me on clonazepam and prothiaden since 3 weeks, but I have seen no improvement. I took lithium and valproic acid for about 8 months and they only added to my fatigue and weight gain so doctor stopped them. I really need help in terms of medication as I am still hoping there might be one which could take me out of this extreme pain. I am terrified that if I do not get the right help or if there is not a cure, I will have to live like this for my entire life, in bed and barely able to think, eat, move or understand anything. I am 36 years of age, female and from pakistan. I have heard that indian doctors are good. Please help me out of this and suggest any medication and save my life. Thanking you!

Dear Sara,
Your doctor at Pakistan is equally good and she/he has been trying good treatments like antidepressants, mood stabilisers and ECT. Please continue with her/him. Telemedicine in India has jurisdiction in the same country only. It is difficult for you to undergo treatment in India because certain basic tablets only can be prescribed through telemedicine. Intractable depression needs lot of experimental tablets as add on.

Dear lybrate-user,
Most antidepressants work more or less at the same level. Mostly, you go by the side-effects - whether they are acceptable by you. Both Vilazodone and Bupropion have minimal sexual side effect. Fluoxetine has more erectile dysfunction.
Weight and sedation are also to be taken into account. If you can tolerate effective dose of TCA, you can try. Otherwise go for Venlafaxine. The only tip is - it is not the antidepressant. It is the duration (minimum 3-6 weeks) and dose ...more
