Hi all,
I recently added Dexedrine to my mix and i have been having a nauseous feeling in the evenings. It is actually when the dex is wearing off. Could it be b/c there is a low level of dex in my body at that time? Or could it be interacting w/ one of my other meds? After I started desipramine I had a similar prob, but pdoc and i weren't quite sure what was causing it. Changing around my dosing schedule seemed to help in that case.
So anyway, this is what I take and when. Any ideas?
AM 40 mg Lexapro, 300mg Neurontin, 2.5mg Dexadrine
early afternoon 2.5mg Dex
dinner 600 Neurontin
bed 150 desipramine, 5 ambien, 30 neurontinThanks in advance!!

I have this problem, trying eating with the meds. Helped me. Or it could be a side effect that goes away on it`s own.

That's a lot of meds. Do they work for you? Did you see the Thread above yours? Fondly, Phillipa

hi Emily,
I'm so sorry you're having tummy issues! It likely could be the timing of the meds. I know many people say that things react together if they dissolve in the stomach at the same time.I'm actually suffering from powerful and unhappy stomach trouble right now myself (both ends, sorry!) It MIGHT be a side-effect of the Lex I just started a few days ago, or it might be a bug, or it might be food poisoning. I wish there were a way to know more quickly!
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I sympathize with you greatly. I hope it gets better soon!

Im having a bit of the same problem but from Anafranil. I agree with Phillipa, that is a lot of medication!!! But I guess what works works hey?
Ive been on lots of meds before too, I found it hard. Take care and I hope that you find some releif soon. I dont think this will interact with your meds so you could try some ginger (i know its not powerful or anything but it does help) and vitamin b6, but also I dont know if vitamin b6 will interact with your meds. The vit b6/ginger combo is often given to women with morning sickness I have read. Take care> Hi all,

Yeah, as I was typing it out, it really hit me how much I take. I have been suffering an awful depression (on top of GAD) for 2 yrs. Nothing seems to help completely, but everything seems to help a little. My pdoc doesn't want to take away something that is working, so we add on top of it. I just started on the Dex and it really seems to be doing something, so I hope that continues. I've had many false alarms before though. I also think that I am a person who needs a high dose of something to get an effect.
I'm always open to ideas if people have them!
