User Reviews for Symbyax oral

Symptoms treated well, but increase in appetite. I would recommend this medication.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BI-POLAR DISORDER A MONTH AGO AND WAS PLACED ON THIS MEDICATION. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS MEDICATION FOR A MONTH AND NOTICED I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING BETTER. I HAVE A SLEEPING DISORDER BUT SINCE TAKING THIS MEDICATION I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT. MY DAUGHTER SEEMS TO THINK I AM SPACED OUT AFTER AN HOUR OF TAKING MEDICATION. SHE SAYS I SEEM LOST IN THOUGHT. AT LEAST I AM NOT CRYING OR SCREAMING ABOUT THINGS AND HAVING NIGHTMARES ANYMORE. I DO FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE DURING THE DAY AFTER THE MED WAS TAKEN AT NIGHT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING REALLY BAD PROBLEMS WITH MEMORY FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. KIND OF GETTING BACK SOME GOOD THINGS I USE TO DO. I AM TYPING LETTERS TO HELP WITH MY MEMORY AS I USE TO TYPE BY MEMORY SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. SO I GUESS THIS MED IS WORKING, WHAT DO YOU THINK? BY THE WAY I AM A 57 YEAR OLD FEMALE, MARRIED, 3 GROWN CHILDREN AND 5 GRANDCHILDREN.Read More Read Less

I noticed a decrease in my moods swings right away. My relationships, work and school activities have been much easier to deal with. My doctor recommended a low dose for me so I have to break the capsule and add water which makes taking the medication cumbersome. Other than that I am so excited about my new life.

my 19 year old son has taken this and has had good results in job and family relationships being better. moods are in check but still has self esteem issues to work on. life for him seem much better

I have been on this drug at 6 MG/25MG and it helps me cope with a stressful job and home life. My relationships have improved as has my effectiveness with my employees at work and with my son. It helps me sleep at night and I feel my life is manageable again. Much less sadness and desire to leave my life for early retirement that I can't yet afford,

This drug really help with my anxiety but the side effects are not worth it. I have painfully swollen feet and sometimes my hands swell too. I was also very sleepy, not bad enough that I would fall asleep driving but as soon as I laid down, I was out. Other drugs that had these side effects were never this bad.

MY 19 YEAR SON HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED WITH THIS DRUG ALONG WITL LUVOX, SEROQUEL, TETRACYCLING AND WANTS TO START TAKING A WEIGHT CONTROL DRUG CALLED PHENTERMINE BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS SO HUNGRY AND OBESE NOW AND VERY DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF ANXITEY AND DEPRESSION. WOULD THIS BE SAFE IN A LOW DOSE, THE WEIGHT LOSS DRUG? SYMBRAX HAS HELPED HIM SOME BUT HAS CAUSED WEIGHT GAIN

It has changed my life. I can now live life, normally. I don't have those sad feelings everyday like I did before I started taking the medication. I was about to give up hope on myself and doctors, but I finally found a doctor that has helped me,after 20 years of searching. I have suffered for 20 years with this, not knowing what was wrong and thinking that no one understood me because you have to experience the feeling to understand what it is. I just hope that this medicine continues to work for me and that I don't slip back into the condition I was in. As for now I'm doing great and why didn't someone know about this for me a long time ago. I've wasted a big part of my life suffering with this problem, now I've got a lot of catching up to do. One more point I needed to make is that I thought my problem was so unusual that even the doctors couldn't understand it. I thought I was one of a kind, because I really didn't know how to describe it to anyone. Please don't give up hope because I almost did and I finally found the right doctor, I am so thankful.Read More Read Less
