Social anxiety disorder symptoms and conditions

The example that I am posting below is not the only patent for an aminoquinoline derivative that is proposed for the treatment of neuro-psychiatric disorders. Even though we are not comparing exact chemical structures, it is certainly worth considering how the quinolines relate to this receptor.

It is also worth considering why montelukast, a quinoline, seems to be causing some of the problems that this owners of this particular patent think that they can treat.

As I mentioned before, I have no answers. Regardless of how small Merck believes the population of Singulair patients who suffer neuro-psychiatric disorders is, I do not believe that any patient should be ignored. It also seems that many companies have studied this area in depth and more than one company knows a lot more than we know about why it is possible for these side effects to happen.

" The compounds of formula I have a good activity on the 5-HT.sub.5A receptor. Therefore, the invention further provides methods for the treatment of depression (which term includes bipolar depression, unipolar depression, single or recurrent major depressive episodes with or without psychotic features, catatonic features, melancholic features, atypical features or postpartum onset, seasonal affective disorders and dysthymia, depressive disorders resulting from a general medical condition including, but not limited to, myocardial infarction, diabetes, miscarriage or abortion), anxiety disorders, (which includes generalized anxiety and social anxiety disorder, panic disorders, agoraphobia, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders, psychotic disorders (which includes schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders, bipolar disease, mania, psychotic depression, and other psychoses involving paranoia and delusions), pain (particularly neuropathic pain), memory disorders (including dementia, amnesic disorders and age-associated memory impairment), disorders of eating behaviors (including nervosa and bulimia nervosa), sexual dysfunction, sleep disorders (including disturbances of circadian rhythm, dyssomnia, insomnia, sleep apnea and narcolepsy), withdrawal from abuse of drugs (such as of cocaine, ethanol, nicotine, benzodiazepines, alcohol, caffeine, phencyclidine and phencyclidine-like compounds, opiates such as cannabis, heroin, morphine, sedative hypnotic, amphetamine or amphetamine-related drugs), motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease, dementia in Parkinson's disease, neuroleptic-induced Parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesias, as well as other psychiatric disorders and gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (WO 2004/096771).

My mother recently told me that she was put on a Yutopar drip when she was pregnant with me to delay premature labor in 1983. I am now 24 years old and suffering with weight problems. I have been overweight since I was 9 years old and it didn't make any sense. I ate like a normal child and was just as active as a normal child, I was even in dance classes for 3 years and dieted off and on my whole life. My mother later remembered being told that the drug Yutopar could have side effects children (when she was working as a nurse). A doctor told her that one of the possible side effects was obesity in the child. To stray from the subject of weight issues, as a child I had a lot of trouble with understanding things at school and was constantly depressed. At 12 years old I was diagnosed as Bipolar. At age 16 I was diagnosed with Social anxiety disorder and thought a lot about suicide. At 20, I was diagnosed with panic disorder (High anxiety). I have been on various medications since I was 12. And now at 24 years old I have discovered that I may have some liver problems. I have lived my entire life feeling like I was abnormal. I have an older sister and younger brother who were not exposed to Yutopar and are completely healthy mentally and physically. I feel like I was born defective. In 1983 when this drug was used it had not been properly tested nor approved by the FDA before being given to women with signs of premature labor. I have tried doing research on the drug and have read in a few articles that the drug was taken off the market after it was approved in 1989. I'm trying to figure out if this drug might be the cause of so much emotional pain throughout my life. Judging by the side effects on the mothers who were given the drug, I can only assume that the side effects would be passed on to the child. Does anyone have any information that I may not have obtained?

I have been on Zoloft (150mg) as well as Wellbutrin (300mg) for the last year. I have been on Zoloft for nearly 6 years (for postpartum depression and then ongoing depression) and the wellbutrin was added in by my doctor 2 years ago when the depression symptoms seem to be returning. However, during the last year, I am tired ALL THE TIME - really tired. The kind of tired in which I feel like I can not function. I nap any chance I get (which is difficult because I have four children) and still have no problem falling asleep at night. I have been to the doctor and have had blood tests to see if my exhaustion can be attributed to anything but my test always come back normal. So I am now wondering if my tiredness is a possible Zoloft side-effect... And is it possible for it to be a side effect that surfaced several years into using this drug? I did not feel like this when I first began either of the medications. I also wake up nightly completely soaked with night sweats... another Zoloft side effect. If anyone has any similar experience or advice, I'd love to hear!

After years of dealing with social anxiety disorder and panic attacks, I was prescribed 50 mg of zoloft yesterday morning. i took my first pill at noon during lunch, and I felt naseous/exhausted throughout the day, but knew that it was a normal side effect and didn't think much of it. This morning I woke up with my face, chest, arms, and neck COVERED in hives. My face looks like I've got horrible acne. I went straight back to the doctor and she gave me a medicine to calm the reaction. I was unaware of any allergy, given that this is the first antidepressant I've ever tried. It's disappointing, though. All this waiting, and all I got out of it were a bunch of hives and nausea. Any one else have an experience like this?

I'm a 36 yo. female weighing in at 119 lbs. About four (4) weeks ago, I found out that my cholesterol is 221/154 so my doctor started me on Vytorin (10/20 mg). I started to - noticeably - not feel like myself about 2-3 weeks ago, but I thought it was just 'female' sickness. Once that factor played itself out I got concerned because I was progressively feeling worse. In general my physical symptoms were feeling extremely tired, nauseous, weakness, constipation, gas, diarrhea, dizzy & lightheaded and inability to concentrate and/or focus. On the 'mental' side, I have a history of panic attacks, depression and social anxiety disorder but they have all been kept under control with medication - that is, until I started taking Vytorin. I'm literally known for my friendliness and sweetness, etc. but for the past couple of weeks I've been in a constant bad mood, cranky, very easily annoyed about things and at people, depressed, anxious and generally uninterested in things that normally excite me. This past Friday night I was, once again, very upset and depressed about how bad I felt and wondering what was wrong with me, etc., and it hit me. The only thing I've done different in/for the past month was the introduction of the Vytorin into my system. I found myself almost crying I was so relieved to have figured out what the problem was. It's been 2 days since I stopped taking the Vytorin and today has been the best I've felt - physically and mentally - in 3 weeks. Hopefully, I'll continue to get back to my 'old self'! (Thanks to everyone else for sharing their side effect(s) symptoms on this site. It helped me verify mine.)

Hello,
I started taking Effexor about 4 weeks ago for social anxiety disorder. Initially I experienced some side effects such as dry mouth, trembling, feeling light headed, nausea and drowsiness. These side effects diminished and my doctor increased my dose to 75 mg, I then experienced other side effects for example very vivid dreams like watching a movie played out before me which was kind of interesting until I had a very vivid and disturbing nightmare. I also experienced weightloss. Currently I am having trouble sleeping which causes me to feel very tired in the day, and have been troubled by mild depression which I'm trying to conquer. On the positive side, i find that I'm not as anxious as I used to be however I'm a long way from complete recovery. It takes about 12 weeks to feel the full effect of the treatment and I am impatient to be rid of this horrible anxiety disorder. I'm happy to be on Effexor and can tolerate the side effects, they are nothing compared to what it's like to live with social anxiety disorder and insignificant in comparison to enduring the pain of depression.

Thank you everyone for your posts. We are all in this together so I thought I would give you an update.

Today I went back to the regular doc (not gyn) and she prescribed Paxil CR(an agent in a class of antidepressant medication known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is effective and generally well tolerated and has successfully helped people treat their depression, social anxiety disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and panic disorder.)

I told her that there is DEFINITELY a correlation between Yasmin and the symptoms that we are all feeling. She was not aware of what I was telling her.

I feel that it cannot be a coincidence that we are all experiencing these conditions. We are all of different ages, parts of the world, parents/nonparents etc...So, I agreed to take the Paxil and purge my system of ALL hormones (BCP, Mirena, etc.) She still needs me to consult with a psychiatrist. I am not looking forward to it.

Paxil also has side effects..... just what I need.

Thank you again everyone!

I have been on zoloft 50mg per day for about 1 1/2 months for depression. I have experienced weight loss/decreased appetite and vivid dreams. Luckly, I haven't had any negative side effects. The weight loss is fine for me and the vivid dreams aren't bad. My depression is totally gone and I feel great. I also noticed I am much more outgoing, making new friends, and trying things I never would have. I then realized that I had been suffering from social anxiety disorder and since being on zoloft it is almost completely gone. I feel amazing and am so happy. For those of you that find that you are experiencing negative side effects it may just not be the drug for you. For some people, like me, it can do wonders.

I started taking Zoloft in 2002, I had suffered from social anxiety disorder wich led to depression as well. I started taking setraline and felt normal for the first time in my life I was totally comfortable in every situation. I began to make friends at a rapid rate and was loving every second of my life. Stupidly I stopped taking the meds as soon as I felt better and have been on and off of the medication. I just started taking 200mg a day due to the fact that the 100mg dose wasnt helping any more, im 6ft4 190 lbs. I recommend this druf to anyone who is having trouble with depression or sad along with counseling. Anyways the side effects have been delayed ejaculation, better sleep, the first 2 weeks I felt like I was drugged everything was just cloudy and I had a wierd feeling in my stomach.
