Anyone taking amithripiline for sleep and Prozac and plaquinel
I am on Plaquenil, and my doctor wants me to take an antidepressant (specifically Prozac) for both depression and anxiety. I am scared to mix antidepressants and Plaquenil due to reading that these can possibly interact, but I’m tired of suffering from mental health issues. Does anyone safely take Plaquenil with an antidepressant? Prozac to be specific, or any of the SSRIs? Thank you so much in advance.
No, & never again will I take those awful meds.
God bless everyone in finding a healthier way
to deal with their journeys. 🙏🏼
I have really bad anxiety that's happens for no reason, like when I try to sleep I get so anxious that blood rushes to my head and my heart starts racing. I'm getting tired of it and I need help. Has anyone's anxiety went away on its own?
Update: Thanks everyone for these answers they were really helpful. I've made an appointment with a psychiatrist for next week, but for now I'm looking for some techniques to help.
I have bad anxiety with some depression. My current meds aren't working and I need to talk to the doctor about a new med. Does anyone like any specific anxiety med? Which one should I avoid completely. I heard Cymbalta was good? Any opinions is appreciated. Thanks
Is anyone on Lyrica & Cymbalta? My Rheumy wants to try it says it's been helping a lot of people. It's kind of my last hope.
They took me off the plaqunil b c of my vision. I do need some energy.
Has anyone been hospitalized for insomnia?
Paxil was definitely not helpful to me either not only did it keep me awake but it made, me do things i did not remember doing at all.
Who do I talk to about possibly having anxiety!? My rhuemaologist, pcp, or should I try finding a therapist?? Then how does one find a therapist!?
I share my anxiety with Rheumatologist because she is really great and understands. It is so common when dealing with this disease. I would say start there if you have a good relationship with that… read more

I take the same as you but i have morphine tablets and liquid because i have liver failier due to lupus so i have steroid injections into my liver twice a week plus dyalasis x
Does anyone else who is taking Benlysta have problems with insomnia the day of and few days following treatment? If so, does anyone have any
tips on helping it. I'm super exhausted for 2-3 days after my treatment but unable to sleep. Then around day 3, everything gets back to normal again. Thanks, and God bless!
Most definitely. Insomnia and an abundant supply of energy lasts for approx three days after infusion. Then anxiety sets in for another week. I also, take Benadryl for a few days after to sleep.
