NoDoz.  It works wonders, kept me up for three days without wanting sleep.  It does make you urinate, though, as it's caffeine based.

hydroxizine is an antihistamine, but also is sometimes used to relax, when I was pregnant and having contractions too early they couldnt give me the usual medication, terbutaline, because I have rapid heart beat, so they gave me hydroxizine to help me relax, for the first week it made me sleepy then it did nothing

150mg once in the morning is good. "SR" stands for slow release. The original non-SR Welbutrin was taken in divided doses thoughout the day.  Don't take it too late in the day, you won't be able to sleep.

It actually works. Do not take more than the recommended dosage. People think more is better and that's when they get tachycardia ( a rapid heart rate) or arrhythmias (irregular heart beats.) Always cycle this otherwise you will need to take more for effect. Take it prior to training and you will really notice a difference.  Never take it prior to bedtime. (you will have a difficult bit sleeping .Bodybuilders have used this for the past couple decades with great success. The normal formulation is 20mg ephedrine, (some companies will standardize Ma Huang) aspirin 325 mg ,(some companies use white willow bark.) 200mg of caffeine ( some add guarana too. A fat soluble source of caffeine). Use as directed with a resistance training program. Keep your carbs low for your last two meals or prior to bedtime. This should help. Be safe and good luck.\n    These ingredients actually work synergistically to increase your basal metabolic rate. Prior to bedtime take a protein mix high in calcium caseinate ( milk protein ) and fiber.This will have a muscle sparing effect (anticatabolic) and will also work to burn fat. Don't drink milk prior to bed too many carbs and slow down your gh production.

I love Prozac!  I can not live without out. I was told to stay on Prozac for nine months as well. This drug works good, well before the ninth month, with me anyway. I guess that is when you will get the complete effect of it.  The only thing I did not and do not like (the one that sticks out in my mind the most that is) is the lack of sex drive.  That is a bummer.  I have been on it now for 15yrs.  I tried to ween myself off a couple of times with my Doctors awareness but I would start to go down hill after a month or so. So back on it and feeling good again. Guess the other side effects were not worth remembering or just were not that bad to be burnt in my mind. Good luck.

Atarax (also known as vistaril) is great for things like hives.  It doesn't have as many side-effects as Benadryl and can be taken for a longer amount of time.  Seems to work faster too.\n\nMy brother and I both have severe allergies and keep it on hand as well as the emergency epi-sticks.  Sometimes when you have a severe rash and take Benadryl your blood pressure will bottom out (causing you to faint), but that's less likely with Atarax.\n\nGood luck!\n\n   \nGENERIC NAME: hydroxyzine \nBRAND NAMES: Atarax; Vistaril\nDRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine with anticholinergic (drying) and sedative properties that is used to treat allergic reactions. Histamine is released by the body during several types of allergic reactions and -- to a lesser extent -- during some viral infections, such as the common cold. When histamine binds to its receptors on cells, it causes changes within the cells that lead to sneezing, itching, and increased mucus production. Antihistamines compete with histamine for cell receptors; however, when they bind to the receptors they do not stimulate the cells. In addition, they prevent histamine from binding and stimulating the cells. After ingestion, the molecule of hydroxyzine is changed slightly, and this changed hydroxyzine that also binds to cells. (This changed hydroxyzine-called an active metabolite--is cetirizine (Zyrtec), which is now an FDA- approved drug.) Though both hydroxyzine and cetirizine act as antihistamines, hydroxyzine causes sedation as a side effect, and cetirizine does not. Hydroxyzine was originally approved by the FDA in 1957. \n\nGENERIC AVAILABLE: yes \n\nPRESCRIPTION: yes \n\nPREPARATIONS: Tablets: 10mg, 25mg, 50mg, 100mg. Capsules: 25mg, 50mg, 100mg. Syrup: 10mg per teaspoonful (5mL). Suspension: 25mg per teaspoonful (5mL). \n\nSTORAGE: Capsules, tablets, and liquids should be stored below 30°C (86°F). Liquid should not be frozen, and should be shaken well prior to each use. \n\nPRESCRIBED FOR: Hydroxyzine is used for the relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of various allergic conditions such as seasonal allergic rhinitis. Although antihistamines are the preferred class of drugs in allergic rhinitis, they only reduce symptoms by 40-60%. Hydroxyzine also is used as an aid for insomnia and to induce sedation prior to certain uncomfortable diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. \n\nDOSING: Hydroxyzine has its maximal effect about 30 to 60 minutes after it is taken. Its effects last for 4 to 6 hours. Therefore, it is often prescribed to be taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for relief of allergy-related symptoms. When used to combat insomnia, it is prescribed to be taken 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime as needed. Patients over the age of 60 years are especially sensitive to the sedating effects of hydroxyzine, and the dose should be reduced. Hydroxyzine can be taken with or without food.

I only took it at night and I was only on 25mg for bipolar. It knocked me completely out. Some nights I would sleep completely through and miss work in the morning. She should take it and go straight to bed, if that dosage is making her feel so tired maybe she should go to her doctor and see if he can lower her dose and maybe she can still get the full benefit of the medicine. \n\nGood luck!

60 mg was obviously too high of a dose, and your Dr was right to eather.....up your dose, but not by as much as he did origlionally , or switch you to one of the other ADD drugs. \n\n   Quite simply, the various ADD drugs will often work differently for different people, and, as "unscientific" as this sounds,  the only real way to really tell what will work for you is the good ol' "hit or miss" method.\n\n(It's the same with selecting the "right" antidepressant as well.) \n\n  "...whats up with the 60 mg of dexedrine not helping at all when 20 mg [of Ritalin?] does..."\n\n  Not all drugs are as powerful, measure for measure, as others.  So 20mg of one might be a big dose, while 50 of another might be a small dose.\n\n  What you are looking for is noticable results......without side effects.  And that's what you need to hold out for.\n\n  A recent study of....Adderal, I think it was.....showed that MUCH SMALLER doses than were origionally thought to work best......turned out to produce the best outcome, when reduction in symptoms were later objectively tested.\n\n  Hope you find yourself "Getting your s**t together" soon !  \n\n  ADD has it's good points, but being able to use your energy in the many ways that you might wish to....is not generally one of them !! \n\n  :- )\n\n  Bob J.

The mind is a very very powerful thing. If you truly believe that you are getting something as a cure, it will really work. \n\nAn experiement was done with antidepressants. They mixed them up....half were placebos, half were the real thing. They did not say which ones were placebos. The people that were taking the pills kept a journal about the effects, the placebos did have some effect, but they did not seem to work AS GOOD as the antidepressants. :o)

My husband takes Effexor XR. He is on 300 mg. We have seen a somewhat decreased sexual desire from him, but not much else. At first, he had problems havig an orgasm (it took a lot longer than usual) but that was when he was on 375 mg. \n\nEveryone is different though, and the effects depend on the dose.
