renaeden Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Have been wondering if I have just been lucky with some medications or other people have experienced it as well... medications with no side effects. Here is my list: Lovan/Prozac (fluoxetine) - no side effects. In fact, no effects at all which is why I switched to something else. Dexamphetamine - I used to have side effects (reduced appetite) but now there are none. Epilim (sodium vaproate) - no side effects when I took 1000mgs of it back in 2005. This time around though it is a different story. Lamictal (lamotrigine) - no side effects. Was taking 250mgs but came off it as it is expensive here and I thought it wasn't working and I didn't need it. I was wrong, hence the Epilim again. Cymbalta (duloxetine) - no side effects. It worked well until I got depressed again so I switched to... Edronax (reboxetine) - no side effects. I know it isn't available in the US so it is not well known, but it has been a good antidepressant for me so far. So I am curious to know what others have had without side effects.

Calypte Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 When I took 150 mg Effexor, it had no side effects (300 mg gave me horrible insomnia when I took it in the evening, but AM dosing mostly fixed that). Wellbutrin may be causing some insomnia and physical anxiety as well, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the med or just my own anxiety and depressive sx. No side effects from that otherwise.

Guest Vapourware Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I guess it would be sodium valproate for me? Or, at least, minimal side effects. I've gained a little bit of weight since being on it, but I don't know if it's also partly attributable to me being a lazy slob. I don't think Zoloft impacted on me in any way, but then again I don't think I took it for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpladybug Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have no side effects from Neurontin. You are very lucky. I have suffered a lot of side effects with all my other meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enlightened_plutonian Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have never been on a med with no side effects, but I would say that once I got used to the Seroquel I have had only minimal side effects. I had a bit of a dry mouth at first, but I do drink plenty of water anyway and this seems to have reduced now. And I love the sedation as it helps me to get a good night's sleep every night, and also sleep deprivation does trigger my illness so I find the sedation helpful. The AD I used to be on, however, was a completely different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowen Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I had start up side effects from Lamictal and Effexor, but now I don't have any. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
