Re: Anyone expereinced the infamos side effect of Prozac/Cirpralex ?
All I know is, antidepressants and other drugs of the mind disorders have plethora of side effects. I think its more destructive then helpful.
Mainly I see there are two main types of psychological disorders, mind too active, heart too depressed.
I dont believe in conventional drugs and I question the motives of drug companies.
There are so many natural herbs that do the job of tranquilizing the mind and making the heart happy and active.
Oat straw tea
Valerium tea
chamomile tea
poppy seed tea
You can try so many things, these are mild herbs with minimal or no side effects .. you can mix and match and can try so many things.
I'll write more stuff after some research
To me what helps most is deep breathing, I am sort of a "mind too active" person. Whenever my mind thinks too much .. I leave the situation for a while and do some sloe deep breathing in fresh air

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about........then talk to your doctor and have him/her switch you to another anti-depressant
Re: Anyone expereinced the infamos side effect of Prozac/Cirpralex ?
Please don't take anti depressants they'll make you suffer longer and have tremendous side effects. Find the root cause of your depression and take a holistic approach.
I found the best Acupuncturist, physiotherapist, massage therapist, Chinese herbal doctor and chiropractor I could in my area. After 3 months of great collaborative work I finally recovered Alhamdoulillah. I'm now seeing a nathropathic doctor for overall health.
It can be costly but we spend so money on materialistic things, this would be an unending investment in yourself.
Take care of yourself cause no one else will!

Honestly, when you’re suffering from anxiety and having panic attacks, chamomile tea does jack lol! Mental illnesses are as real as any other disease. 
Medical advice shouldn’t be sought here but from my experience, cipralex made me extremely sleepy and tired, didn’t work well, moved onto something else which has done wonders - you need to find something right for you.

I do holistic remedies concurrently.

Spot on :k:

Trust me, natural treatments work wonders. They are slow but effective. Conventional medicine treat the symptoms, natural medicine treats the source of the disease.
Cipralex made you tired and lifeless because anti-mania medicines suppress the dopamine. Dopamine gives us happiness and activity.
Thankfully now there are herbalists, and naturopaths available, who can help. But I have seen naturopaths are not yet passionate and cofident about what they practice and preach. They get intimidated by mainstream medical system.
Natural medicine is as old as humans themselves.

Couldn't agree more.

Cipralex is an anti-depressant, not an anti-manic drug..........right? Brands are different here but that is what I understood.
It's *main *action is increasing seratonin levels, unlike anti-psychotics which supress dopamine and are anti-manic.
This is from what I know or I think I know, do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just interested. =)

You are correct. Anti-psychotic drugs are mostly dopamine suppressors. But sometimes they add serotonin to compensate for that. From her symptoms, I understood it was anti-psychotic.
