Realization: Adverse reaction to polypharmacy


Realization

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

 

Currently going through a rough time. I'm on Wellbutrin 150 mgs, clonazepam 2 mgs, solinor or 2 mgs, and feel awful. My pharmacist thinks I may be have seratonin syndrome. The anger, mood swings, panic attacks are awful. Any suggestions would be appreciated more than you know.

Welcome, Realization.

 

I moved your post to create your own Intro topic, so your questions won't get overlooked.

 

How long have you been on each of these drugs? Were you taking any psychiatric drugs prior to going on these? When did these symptoms start?

 

Please put ALL the drugs you take in the Drug Interactions Checker http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html and copy and paste the results in this topic.
