Antidepressants were created to help people solve problems with the nervous system. And this area is perhaps the most mysterious. However, sometimes doctors are forced to prescribe drugs such as Adepress to their patients. Instructions for use, indications and contraindications, as well as side effects, are described in this article.
What are antidepressants?
As the name implies, antidepressants are designed to change the state of depression and return a person to a state of normal mental balance. How applicable and effective is unequivocally difficult to decide. Helps someone, but makes someone addicted. There is never and never was a single panacea for all diseases.
In the West, psychotherapists solve problems with nervous disorders with a medication such as an antidepressant. Adepress is one of them. However, this can be seen by the name alone. In Russia, the use of such drugs is not so popular. Probably, the difference in mentality does not allow to solve problems of a personal and mental plan with the help of tablets. But sometimes in our country this is a severe necessity. How to use Adepress? Instructions for use, reviews of doctors and patients indicate the high effectiveness of this drug.
Effects on the body
The main active ingredient is paroxetine. The big plus is that its pharmacological effects on other organs are not observed. The load on the cardiovascular system is very small.
Adepress regulates the normal production of serotonin. Absorption in the blood is above average.
It is the hormone serotonin that is responsible for the state of the emotional background of a person. Sometimes with physiological disorders, in order to restore the normal production of this substance, it is necessary to take a special medicine. "Adepress" is just that.
Due to the normalization of serotonin production, patients experience relaxation after a long period of stress and tension, as well as an increase in the pain threshold. Often, this indicator strongly affects our mood. Serotonin also produces the intestines, and an imbalance in motor activity may be the first sign of impending nervous depression. Spiritual practices will not help here. The organic cause of this disease can only be solved by the specially developed drug "Adepress" or its analogues.
"Adepress": instructions for use
In no case do not prescribe yourself such drugs yourself. Any synthetic medicine can have a detrimental effect on the body if taken unsystematically. Be sure to consult your doctor. Pharmacists are not allowed to dispense Adepress tablets without a prescription.
The regimen is usually very simple - one tablet in the morning, washed down with a glass of water. By the way, this drug is often prescribed for depression that develops against the background of schizophrenia. Therefore, overdoses of a mentally healthy person are categorically contraindicated.
Given the wide range of antidepressants and the multidirectional nature of its pharmacodynamics, in each case a competent doctor will prescribe an individual dosage regimen. Although Adepress does not significantly affect the human organs, nevertheless, special care must be taken with renal or liver dysfunctions. The duration of the course can be from six months to a year. After consultation with the doctor, a decision is made on the need for further treatment.
special instructions
So, you have been assigned to Adepress. Instructions for use, reviews of patients and doctors should be the first thing to pay attention to. After consulting with a specialist, try to talk with someone who already has experience with this drug. Perhaps the recommendations of a fellow sufferer will help you decide whether to agree to antidepressant treatment or not. A single dose may be enough for someone to calm the nerves and return to a state of stability.
During therapy, you can not drink alcohol, otherwise the result may be subsequent treatment in a psychiatric clinic. If you take any other drug for a long time, you need to coordinate with the doctor the drug interaction or withdrawal conditions.
If seizures occur, Adepress therapy should be discontinued immediately. If you have any problems with the excretory or digestive system, you need to correctly select the antidotes that will reduce the risk of developing pathologies, or refuse to take "Adepress".
Precautionary measures
Before using Adepress tablets, the instructions that are attached must be studied by you thoroughly. You can not take the drug uncontrollably. A banal nervous disorder can develop into a serious mental disorder, therefore regular consultations with a doctor are mandatory.
As a rule, if a patient develops mania or any other manifestation of compulsive disorder, therapy is canceled.
Often there is a development of suicidal tendencies, so the first days of admission should be the most responsible. Report regularly to your healthcare provider about your psychological state and mood.
Do not be alarmed if, after canceling the appointment, you experience any physical ailment. Dizziness and nausea are normal phenomena that accompany any rejection of drugs designed to stabilize the nervous system. Your psyche, having lost support, will lose balance for a short time, but it will pass soon.
Adepress: analogues
There are few of them. For example, Life 900 is used to treat intermittent or symptomatic depression, increased anxiety, and sleep disorders. If the unstable condition is caused by any internal causes, for example, menopause, this drug can help level the condition. Given the normalization of serotonin production, it will favorably affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. It can also be used externally for convulsive muscle strain.
Venlaxor is prescribed for depression, as well as social phobias and severe anxiety disorders.
"Gelarium" is indicated for various psycho-vegetative disorders, primary neurotic manifestations, such as an obsessive state of anxiety. Well and, of course, with various depressive states.
When treated with a drug such as Adepress, analogues can be used not only as a replacement therapy, but also to support systemic treatment.
"Siozam" is indicated for
neuropsychiatric disorders of various etiologies. Including the treatment of panic conditions is not complete without the use of this drug.
"Neurol" treats all the same anxiety, nervous and mental depression. The first, unlike the second, is caused by physiological causes - chronic stress, hormonal metabolic disorders, etc.
Carefully take both the described analogues and the Adepress itself. How to get off it is not an easy question. Remember that psychotherapeutic medicine uses chemicals related to narcotic drugs in its arsenal.
To whom it is shown
Patients suffering from various depressive disorders, when it is impossible to cope with them on their own, and all methods have been tried for a long time.
The drug is prescribed for an obsessive-compulsive state. Patients prone to such violations themselves can no longer cope with themselves, and they need initial professional help.
Any
panic disorder requires special treatment. If you have been prescribed “Adepress” for this disease, the instructions for use will be adapted by your doctor according to your individual characteristics.
Social phobias also try to treat this way. But here it is very difficult to track the positive dynamics, because communication problems can rarely be cured with pills. Although, taking Adepress tablets, reviews of which are sufficiently credible, you can get rid of many problems. Post-traumatic disorders are perhaps the most amenable to psychopharmacological treatment.
Side effects
Even if you have finished taking Adepress, side effects can provoke all the same violations. For example, you will increase irritability, drowsiness, a tendency to melancholy experiences. Here, tremor and insomnia may occur, as well as convulsions, mania and phobias. Digestive system disorders are frequent, including diarrhea, vomiting, or prolonged constipation. Sometimes more serious consequences arise in the form of muscle weakness and myalgia.
Some patients have impaired vision. There is also a disorder of the genitourinary system, which is absolutely unpleasant (impotence, anorgasmia and enuresis).
Caused by the action of the drug, secondary depression may be accompanied by a loss of appetite. Heart problems are common - tachycardia or vascular hypertension. In some other cases, hyperhidrosis occurs. An allergic reaction to drugs does not pass by and "Adepress". Instructions for admission, which is in the box with pills, contains a clear description of all side effects.
Interactions
"Adepress" can be used regardless of the meal. But it is not recommended to combine it with any inhibitors - it is better to cancel their intake and wait twelve days or two weeks.
You can not take alcohol during therapy in order to avoid provoking acute psychoses.
Adepress should be carefully taken against a background of cardiological drugs, since their combination can disrupt blood coagulation. Overdoses should also be avoided, as excessive levels of serotonin in the blood can seriously harm your health.
It is not recommended to take aspirin simultaneously with Adepress.
The combination with drugs containing interferon can change the antidepressant effect in the direction of weakening or strengthening.
Contraindications
The first is epilepsy. Patients with this serious illness should generally avoid excessively stimulating drugs, as they can complicate an already dangerous pathology. For pregnant women and nursing mothers, any antidepressant is also strictly contraindicated.
What is detrimental to antidepressants?
After you decide to take "Adepress", the instructions for use will tell you the next steps. Always remember that drugs created in psychopharmacology are always akin to drugs. Not only side effects are terrible, but also addiction to them.
To be treated in this way is necessary only if there are serious reasons. It happens that the depressed state of the psyche is no longer possible to go beyond without the use of drugs such as antidepressants. But without additional therapy based on healthy communication, relaxation, the ability to properly relax and nourish with positive emotions, the use of tablets will not give a lasting effect.
Drug withdrawal
This must be done gradually. Remember that after a sudden cessation of treatment, symptoms can return with a vengeance, and it will be even more difficult for you to cope with them. Therefore, gradually reduce the dosage. Some quit, unable to withstand unpleasant side effects - drowsiness and insomnia. In this case, you can simply pick up another drug.
Many patients, having undergone a course of treatment or several of its stages, understand that they can do without it further. This is the first sign that Adepress has solved the task assigned to it. Such patients can adequately assess their condition, and they no longer need additional ways to stabilize the psyche.
