> My Pdoc gave me Norvasc to try to help my binge eating. He said he had a few patients which this drug has helped. Well.... it didn't help with my eating,but it has made a nice improvement in my mood and has helped with depression. The only side effect is edema(water retetion). He then gave me Maxzide for the edema but it makes me too dizzy and tired.Does any one know of a diuretic that doesn't affect blood pressure?I really like Norvasc and want to stay on it.
Hi Lynne: I never heard of that drug used for depression. You and your Doc maybe on to something here. A family member of mine uses it for bp problems.
I have some relatively mild depression but with anxiety and panic. Is this the only med you take for your mood disorder and what dose do you take?
I've taken prozac in the past but it lost some of its effectiveness and am looking to improve it again.
