Re: Sorbolene Lotion experience that seems to have worked

This often helpr but only when I'm actually massaging my limbs so it may be that the signal to the brain is interrupted. It doesn't always last for long ...

Re: St Johns Wort - Antidepressant
Lissa, so you had a negative effect from Sertraline after only 3 days. I guess it's a good thing that it showed itself quickly.
I'm at 4 weeks today and no negativity (so far).
Thank you for taking time to let me know.

Re: St Johns Wort - Antidepressant
Andy, it's early days yet with the sertraline , only 4 weeks, so I don't want to be smug about it. However I will remain hopeful.
Some years ago I was taking Citalopram for several years and at that time was also unaware of any negative impact.

Re: St Johns Wort - Antidepressant

Wellbutrin works differently by increasing availability of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine but not serotonin, It is thought that Welbrutin will not exacerbate the symptoms of rls a...
