 NEW SSRI
I have just tried a new SSRI called Meridia. It really increases my
energy. After just two days, I haven't felt the overwhelming, need to take
an afternoon nap and I've been getting things done that I've put off for
?????. It also reduces you appetite. Too good to be true??
I'll keep you posted.

NEW SSRI It's not an SSRI, as it is not "selective." It's most closely related to
Effexor, both structurally and pharmacologically.
Glad you're liking it, though.

NEW SSRI Elizabeth: Thanks for the info. It does seem to increase my energy level, which I definetely want and doesn't seem to have the libbido trashing effect of the other reputake {*filter*}. I am, however, not quite as "mellow" as when I was taking just Zoloft, but it's nice to be getting things done! Bob

I believe it's habituating too.
Be careful.

NEW SSRI I don't understand why it would be any more habituating than Effexxor. Could you tell me more? Bob

I doubt that it's habituating, seeing as it works pretty much like Effexor. No clear reason why it was placed in Schedule IV except for the indication (weight loss, rather than depression). Please don't send messages like this without facts to back them up, eh? It
could scare people unnecessarily.

NEW SSRI If your speaking of Meridia the commercial on tv indicates it may be habituating. However the commercial doesn't specifiy if it is a physcial dependence or emotional. Jackie

NEW SSRI Thanks for the reply Jackie: The problem with disclaimers is that in an attempt to ward of possible law
suits, companies tend to cover everything to cover themselfs. No one looks
at the warning label on a step ladder because the do's and don't are so
obvious. But I suppose that anything that makes you feel better can be
"additicting" in some way. I'm wondering how this drug differs from
Effexor, which tended to give me headaches. I went without lunch today
without even thinking about it. Now, thats just not like me.

If you get headaches from Effexor, you may want to
avoid Luvox too. It's a bad SSRI for causing headaches. (I
believe the prevalence is about 30% on it.)
So what is Meridia? An SSRI agonist?

It is a seratonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. Bob

For those of us in other countries, other than the USA, can someone tell me its generic name. It is likely to be released elsewhere under another brand name. --
