Teens usually start on 0.5 or 1 mgs. But 3 mgs isn't that high.

A lethal dose can vary from person to person depending on numerous different factors.  Taking over the recommended dose of any medication can potentially be harmful.  With that said taking the recommended dose of some medications can be harmful, but if you are prescribed something it's probably for a reason (benefits out-weight the risk). Anyways I'm kind of worried why you asked this.  If you think you overdosed immediately call poison control or 911!  If you think your dosage is too high or too low, contact your physician and they will help you make  adjustments to your prescription.  If you are thinking of overdosing, please visit your family physician as they can probably help you work out a few things.

I would definitely recommend that you refer this question to your psychiatrist/doctor.  I'm on risperdal, which is one you're not supposed to drink on, but I talked it over with my psychiatrist.  He said I could have up to 3 drinks a week, which is great by me.  I only drink wine.  \n\nA few beers in one night might be a little much, and there is that risk of seizures with Wellbutrin.  Drinking basically affects your psych meds two ways.  Both alcohol and the med work on the Central Nervous System, and there is chance for interaction, there.  Plus, alcohol induces the liver to create more enzymes, which will metabolize the drug and make less of the drug available in circulation.

I'm not sure what drug you mean.....the only one that I can think of is Resperidal 3 mg., treatment for manic depression.  Normally this drug is used with Lithium or Valproate and does require monitoring.  As with any drug, there are side effects which should be discussed with your health care provider.  Hope this helps.

Some people have different reactions to medication.  You need to talk to your doctor to find something that works.  \n\nDepending on your weight, you may not be on a high enough dose.  But you should talk to your doctor instead of just self-medicating.

i would definately ask your doctor about this. explain the process to him and maybe he can lower your meds to a safe, but still effective dosage. do u need really need this? have u done it before? like they said, its not meant to be done while on Rx drugs. it may render them ineffective.

I have personally been on Luvox for probably 20 years.  I took 100mg daily until approximately 3 years ago.  At that time I was increased to 200mg daily which is still my current dosage.  I agree I was beginning to be suicidal and dwelled on everything - a constant state of worry.  I also started carrying out daily rituals.  I really don't know if Luvox helps or hinders me at this time.  Recently my doctor added a medication called Abilify.  This is  an anti-psychotic drug.  I feel wonderful.  My whole life seems suddenly much more stable than I can remember in the past.  I suggest you talk to your medical team about this medication.  It's a wonderful feeling.  \n\n\n\n\nt  \nt

I am on Effexor and am in the process of coming off of it.  I was on 300mg, now am on 225mg.  So far I really haven't noticed any debilitating symptoms, and I feel like I have more energy.  Not too much dizziness, which is good.  I do experience the 'shocks' but not much.\n\nI've been told that the last small doses are the hardest to get off of -- when you get down to 37.5mg.  I'm not looking forward to it, but my psychiatrist tells me that most people actually do not experience severe symptoms like people complain of on the internet.  And if you are having a hard time and your doctor offers you a small dose of Prozac to relieve your symptoms, take it!  It won't be hard to get off of like Effexor, and it really will help with your withdrawal symptoms.  At least give it a try.\n\nGood luck!

It depends on how long you take it, and what the dosage is. I started out taking 90mg a day a VERY high dose, and continued to take it for over 3 months. I gained about 65 lbs. If you only have take for a week you should not gain more than 10 lbs.

I believe what you are referring to is milligrams.  1300 milligrams would be 1.3 grams.  Conversely, 1300 grams would be 1300000 milligrams.  hope this helps

What ever you do, don't take seroquel.  I gained over 70lbs and the doctor just kept increasing the dose.  The best I've heard of is lithium.  But I don't have any experience with lithium.  I recommend to you a website (chat is experiencing difficulty at the time though) it's http://www.bipolarworld.net/Community/webchat.html\n\nIf you go to the link I provided then click on medications then select the link to MOOD STABILIZERS FOR BIBOLAR.  You will then see a chart that compares pros and cons to various popular meds used to stabilize bipolar.... to include: \nLi+, lithium.  \nVPA, valproate (Depakote) \nCBZ, carbamazepine (Tegretol) \nLTG, lamotrigine (Lamictal) \nOLZ, olanzapine (Zyprexa) \nOXC, oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) \nO-3, omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) \nVER, verapamil \nCLZ, clozapine \n\nI have also taken Lamictal which in my experience is very helpful if you experience racing thoughts.  I experienced no side effects and helped control my thought process.\n\nimredy2talk@yahoo.com if you have any questions.  BeWell.

That is still within the recommended dosage(for an adult). However, it is on the higher end. \n\nWhat other medications are you taking?\n\n\nedit as of 8:19pm est:\nwhat dose of Lovastatin are you on?

Don't worry, your will come down. What goes up must come down! You need a doc! I take 50 mil of serequil at night. I have episodes of severe mania also. This works for me. Before that Depakote worked well too.

25mg is the minimum dosage. It also comes in 50mg and 100mpg dosages (all are the same price per tablet by the way). Since you are on the low dosage, I can't see much harm in taking a couple of them at different times in the day once in a while if you need them and don't get any extra side effects. Best to see your doctor to be sure though!

I also have been on it for 3 years and tried to stop. I had horrible vertigo, vomiting, direareha. Don't even try to stop it yourself! I couldn't stop and am still taking it.Good luck
