Depression Pills


Yesterday morning I woke up for work to terrible back pain, a few years ago I had two discs removed after spending two years in agonizing pain. My back has never really bothered me since so when something does happen I have to be careful, I called in sick to work and went to see the doctor straight away, after checking me out he reckoned it was just cyatica and some anti inflammatory tablet should sort it out in a few day, he also told me to rest, not to walk the dog and not to drive for the rest of the week. I also got some anti biotic for a sinus infection I have had for the last while.
I started taking the tablets straight away and after about an hour or so I started to feel really down and by lunchtime I felt over whelmingly depressed and by evening time I was in tears, crying at every single sad thing I saw on the TV. I knew something was obviously not right as It take a lot to make me cry and I never cry at the drop of a hat so I got on the old internet and looked up the drugs. It turns out one of the side effects are depression so I stopped taking them, to be honest I would rather put up with the pain than feel like that again.
I feel bad for Holly as she is stuck in with me as I can't walk her but she has not left my side since I have been unwell, right now she is asleep on the bed beside me.
When the pain gets bad she will start to cry in sympathy with me and she was such a comfort to me when I was upset, she truly is mans best friend.

Hi John

Sorry to hear that you are in such pain. I have also experienced such an effect from these kind of drugs, even paracetamols are known to be a depressive if taken over a length of time. As if being in inscrutiating pain isn't depressing enough!! Hope you're up and about soon, hang on to that faithful friend of yours! x

When I am sick or in pain for any reason, I immediately cycle into depression. If I have the cold or the flu, I cry relentlessly with no provocation. I just began physical therapy a couple days ago, and whenever my leg hurts, the sadness creeps in. So I can imagine how much worse a side effect of depression can make it. I think you made the right decision. Good luck and feel better.

I suffer from a lot of back pain due to a car accident when I was a child. When it happened I was in pain for a while but after I healed I had very little trouble until I was 15 and my muscles started to develop, I started getting a lot of lower back pain and have suffered with it ever since. That is until recently when I stumbled across memory foam mattresses. They adjust to the shape and weight of my body to support my back perfectly and let me sleep soundly. I can’t even imagine being able to sleep without my memory foam mattress anymore!

There are many people who have the habit of crushing tablets and pills before having them. There wouldn’t have been much wrong with this habit but it proves to be detrimental because there are certain elements in every pill that our body doesn’t want and on chewing the pill these non beneficial elements find way into our lungs and sinus cavities. The same also goes with the depression pills like xanax. So avoid snorting xanax completely.

If you suffer from back pain, try a memory foam mattress. Can really help you get a good nights sleep. If you sleep well you often feel well during the daytime! It's worth a try.

There are specific side-effects triggered off by the anti-anxiety drug xanax and therefore, after taking the xanax 2 mg tablet, you may suffer from hallucination, nausea, depression etc. However, these side-effects disappear over time and without stopping your xanax administration, as you continuously take the medicine according to the doctor’s instructions, you would surely obtain relief from the shackles of anxiety. http://www.xanax-effects.com
