Common Questions about Aripiprazole (Abilify)

<h4><strong>What are Online Pharmacies and are They Safe?</strong></h4>

<p>With an ever-expanding horizon of contactless services evolving from the necessities of the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmacies aren’t lagging behind.</p>

<p>Online pharmacies refer to a pharmaceutical business organization that is involved in the sale of non-prescription and prescription-only drugs, by ordering them online and delivering them through the mail. While tangible conventional pharmacies have a drug distribution system with track and trace technology, e-pharmacies like Marley Drug utilize an efficient and cost-saving internet-based verification model that both authenticates drug prescriptions and inventories and dispenses medication for shipment through the same server.</p><p>The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) reports that “over 90% of internet pharmacy sites out there are not in compliance with the United States pharmacy laws and standards.”</p>

<h4><strong>Signs to Look for When Researching Online Pharmacies</strong></h4>

<p><img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/9723f68f-8523-4fc8-9765-79ae59beee65/BL-onlinepharmacysigns.png"></p>

<p>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets out clear guidelines for U.S. consumers on how to make sure they are safely purchasing medicine online. Signs that a pharmacy is legal and ethical are:</p><ul><li><strong>that they always require a prescription from a physician (for prescription drugs)</strong></li><li><strong>have a licensed pharmacist on staff for queries, and</strong></li><li><strong>are also licensed by a state board of pharmacy.</strong></li></ul><p>On the other hand, warning signs to look for are:</p><ul><li><strong>that it does not require a prescription,</strong></li><li><strong>isn’t licensed,</strong></li><li><strong>sends odd or damaged-looking products,</strong></li><li><strong>and does not provide a clear address of their operations or instructions on how to use the medication.</strong></li></ul><p>Despite these precautions, it is estimated by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that counterfeit sales approximated a $200 billion industry in the U.S. alone. However, there does exist honest, safe, and ethical e-pharmacies all across the United States, and Marley Drug is one of them.</p><h4><strong>Why Choose Marley Drug?</strong></h4><p><strong>Independent Pharmacy</strong>: Marley Drug is based in the United States and operates through a mail-order service that ships nationwide and serves a customer base of over 70,000 and growing.</p><p><strong>Innovative Offerings</strong>: It is also one of the first services of its kind to launch an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</a>&nbsp;with half-year and full-year prescriptions.</p><p><strong>Technologically Advanced</strong>: Marley Drug operates through an advanced system that allows for automated pill dispensing that ensures efficiency, accuracy, and safety.</p><p><strong>Knowledgeable staff</strong>: The staff includes board-certified pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, sales associates, and a customer support team (<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/pharmacy-team" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meet our Team</a>).</p><p><strong>Quick Delivery</strong>: Delivery rates for Marley Drug with UPS fall within 2 to 3 business days after shipping.</p><p><img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/f1b7e84d-05a4-4ab6-b2d6-68f52a2f741f/BL-onlinepharmacywholesaleprice.png"></p><h4><strong>Benefits of using Marley Drug</strong></h4><p><strong>Convenience</strong>: Consumers are choosing Marley Drug over their brick-and-mortar counterparts because of the convenience it presents, especially during times like a global pandemic. Avoiding lineups, making services as contact-less as possible, and saving time is very important to our customers.</p><p><strong>Reasonable Pricing</strong>: We provide competitive prices that is much more affordable than conventional pharmacies. This is due to an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/5-reasons-why-filling-your-medications-in-extended-supply-may-save-you-time-and-money" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">innovative model</a>&nbsp;where we price our generic drugs based on what it cost us to acquire them, rather than pricing them against the brand version like many chain pharmacies.</p><p><strong>Trust</strong>: Marley Drug has been in business for over 18 years. We developed from a small mom-and-pop shop to a nationwide online pharmacy that can ship to nearly all 50 states. Check out our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/reviews-and-testimonials" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">testimonials</a>&nbsp;to see what our customers are saying about us and why they keep coming back.</p><h4><strong>No Need for Insurance with Marley Drug</strong></h4><p>A key modeling technique of Marley Drug to offer its customers affordable medications is&nbsp;<em>through cash only payments</em>. That is because, shockingly,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/you-might-be-paying-more-for-your-generic-medications-here-s-why" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cash payments can be lower</a>&nbsp;for many drugs than their insurance co-pay counterparts.</p><p>A fact that many consumers aren’t aware of is that insurance companies and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) who manage your health plans are the ones who actually decide the price you pay for medications at the pharmacy, not the pharmacy itself. In many cases the price they want you to pay is inflated with <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/how-spread-pricing-increases-prices-of-generic-drugs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">administrative fees</a>. At Marley Drug we can offer you a much more affordable option.</p><p>We also lower the price of medications by offering them in our Wholesale Price List. This is particularly beneficial if one has a chronic or long-lasting condition where they will be taking the medication indefinitely.&nbsp;<em>Buying in bulk means reducing maintenance and dispensary costs by a considerable margin.</em></p><p>Good examples of medications that could be bought in bulk are drugs for mental health conditions like Wellbutrin and Zoloft, or high cholesterol medications like Crestor or Lipitor.</p><h4><strong>We Supply Generic Medications in Longer Supply for Less than $6 a Month</strong></h4><p><strong>Affordable medications</strong><br><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</a>&nbsp;offers many in-demand generic drugs for only $70 a year ($5.83/month) plus free shipping, all without the need for insurance.</p><p><strong>Transfer your prescriptions easily</strong><br>Marley Drug has also made transferring prescriptions easy; patients can give us a call to 800-810-7790 and give us their Rx number, pharmacy name, and phone number, along with their mailing address and we will do the rest or have their doctor’s office call in new prescriptions for their medications.</p><h4><strong>Marley Drug makes Prescription Refills Hassle Free</strong></h4><p><strong>Customers can easily fill their prescriptions</strong><br>Getting a prescription from Marley Drug is made easy! You can go online at www.marleydrug.com and set up an account. You will be asked a few questions, including who your healthcare provider is and where we should ship the medication. We will handle the rest and your medication will be shipped to your door!</p><p><strong>Sign up for Automatic Refills</strong><br>You can also sign up for automatic refills. Your prescriptions will be sent automatically when they are due. Unlike some conventional pharmacies, consumers won’t need their prescriptions verified repeatedly when requesting a refill, saving them a considerable amount of time and energy.</p><h4><strong>Get your Medications Online from a Trusted Source</strong></h4><p>Research has repeatedly shown that customers prioritize cost and convenience over any other rationale when purchasing medications online.</p><p>Misrepresentation and lack of education have given rise to many fraudulent companies selling drugs to consumers by taking advantage of their lack of knowledge, which in turn makes it more difficult for authentic and regulated pharmacies like Marley Drug to make an impact and draw larger and more diverse bodies of consumers.</p><p>We have made substantial efforts at being transparent about its business model, prices, and its staff to remain a trusted business within the community.&nbsp;<strong>We hope to earn your business and be your trusted source of affordable medications for years to come.</strong></p>

The Case for Choosing Online Pharmacies and Marley Drug

<h4>New Survey Suggests Getting your Medications in 6- and 12- months supply may be Better for You</h4>

<p>Are you currently taking medication(s) for long durations to manage a chronic condition? Then this article is right for you.</p>

<p>Some of you may refer to this type of medication as your maintenance medications, recurring medication, or long-term medication. At Marley Drug we call it Wholesale Price List.</p><p>Whatever you call it, there is growing support among physicians and pharmacists that filling these types of medications in 6- and 12-month supply may be better for patients and the healthcare system as a whole.</p>

<h3>What is Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List?</h3>

<p>Our Wholesale Price List offers medications in longer durations than are typically done, in a 6-month or 12-month supply.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</a> garnered national attention in 2012 when it was first launched. The list was built with the patient in mind. One prescription fill, one-fixed price, and free home delivery for over 100 generic medications (<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list-medications" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">see full list</a>).</p>

<p>There are many obvious <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/5-reasons-why-filling-your-medications-in-extended-supply-may-save-you-time-and-money" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">benefits of filling prescriptions in a longer supply</a> when it comes to cost convenience for patients. However, a new online survey conducted amongst 400 cardiologists, endocrinologist, primary care practitioners and pharmacists survey suggests that there may also be a health benefit for patients as well!</p>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/2a64df35-2117-4875-a600-a9ad50326082/BL-202202-longersupply.png">

<h3>Benefits of Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</h3>

<p>When it comes to long-term maintenance medication to manage chronic illnesses, 84% of those surveyed agreed that prescribing in 6- and 12-month quantities could increase patient’s adherence and management of their chronic condition. In terms of safety, 89% of physicians and 72% of pharmacists felt that writing these types of medications would be safe to patients.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Among physicians surveyed, they agreed that longer fills of medications would lead to:</p>

<ul><li>Improved adherence—83%</li>
<li>Fewer pharmacy visits—91%</li>
<li>Less frequent refills—97%</li>
<li>Reduced administrative load—91%</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Among the 100 pharmacists surveyed they said longer fills would:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Improve convenience—96%</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Reduce cost—80%</li>
</ul>

<h3>Risks of Longer Fills</h3>

<p>Longer fills aren't perfect and do present some potential risk or problems for patients as well.</p><p>For example, if the medication was not effective for the patient 92% agreed there would be leftover medication and 87% acknowledged that there would be no cost reimbursement for that unused medication.</p>

<p>51% of those surveyed also felt that refilling medications may be more difficult to remember as it isn’t being done as frequently.</p>

<p>65% also agreed that there is a risk that patients may not store the medication properly.</p>

<h3>Most Physicians Would Write Longer Prescriptions…If They Could</h3>

<p>In fact, 93% said they would write for a 6-month supply and 78% said they would write for a 12-month supply.</p>

<p><strong>So why don’t they?</strong> This has a lot to do with the rules set in place by insurance companies and healthcare plans in the U.S. Typically there is a quantity limit set for medications that allows up to a 30-day or 90-day fill. Other times insurance companies will create rules/pathways patients must go through, called <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/are-prior-authorizations-good-for-patients" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">prior authorizations</a>.</p>

<p>In this survey, 77% said that insurance limits refills to 30 days for some medications, 91% agreed that insurance companies can alter their choice of medication(s) for their patients.</p>

<h3>The Take Home</h3>

<p>94% of healthcare providers surveyed said if insurance wasn’t a barrier, they would write in 6-to-12-month supply to help patients save more.</p>

<h4>How Marley Drug Can Help</h4>

<p>At Marley Drug we don’t use insurance, so we don’t have these same limitations as other pharmacies. There are no coupons or savings cards; just one fixed price for over 100 generic medications on our Wholesale Price List.</p>

<p>Many of our customers are surprised at how much they can save by <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/you-might-be-paying-more-for-your-generic-medications-here-s-why" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">paying cash for their medications</a>.

</ul>

<h3><strong><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/different-types-of-depression">Depression types</a></strong></h3>

<p>There are 2 major types of depression that differ by symptom severity and persistence. </p>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Major depressive disorder (MDD):</span> This is the more severe form of depression and is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness and worthlessness that will not go away on their own. In order to diagnose someone with clinical depression they must experience 5 or more of the following symptoms over a 2-week period:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Feeling depressed most of the day</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Significant weight loss or gain</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Loss of interest in most regular activities</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Excessive sleeping or inability to sleep</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Slowed thinking or movement</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Fatigue most days</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Feelings of worthlessness or guilt</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Loss of concentration or indecisiveness </li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Recurring thoughts of death or suicide </li>

</ul>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Persistent depressive disorder (PDD):</span> This is a milder form of depression but it is more chronic. In order to be diagnosed with this disorder your symptoms must be present for at least 2 years. Since these symptoms last longer than MDD, it can have a larger impact on your life. It is very common for people with PDD to lose interest in normal daily activities, feel hopeless, have low self-esteem and lack productivity. </p>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Postpartum depression:</span> This is in a category of its own and usually refers to depression after childbirth. Postpartum depression affects 1 in 9 new parents. Surprising to most, <strong>this can affect both men and women</strong>. The symptoms usually appear 3-6 months after birth and if they last longer than 2 weeks you may be experiencing postpartum depression. Including the symptoms already listed previously you may also experience:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Having thoughts of hurting the baby or yourself</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Not having an interest in the baby as if your baby is someone else’s</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Having memory problems</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Withdrawing from friends and family</li>
</ul>

<h3><strong>Depression medication</strong></h3>

<p>Along with other treatments such as psychotherapy (talking to a therapist), medications are often prescribed to help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with depression. These include:</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs):</span> These are the most commonly prescribed <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/ssri-and-snri">antidepressants</a> because they tend to have fewer side effects. They treat depression by increasing the availability of the neurotransmitter's serotonin (happiness chemical). SSRIs include <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Citalopram"  target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">citalopram</a> (Celexa), <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Escitalopram" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">escitalopram</a> (Lexapro), <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Fluoxetine"  target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">fluoxetine</a> (Prozac), <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Paroxetine" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">paroxetine</a> (Paxil) and <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/sertraline" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">sertraline</a> (Zoloft). </p>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs):</span> These treat depression by increasing the amount of the neurotransmitter’s serotonin and norepinephrine in your brain. SNRIs include <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Duloxetine" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">duloxetine</a> (Cymbalta), <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/khedezla~" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">desvenlafaxine</a> (Khedezla) and <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Venlafaxine" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">venlafaxine</a> (Effexor XR). </p>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants:</span> Both of these treat depression by increasing the amount of the neurotransmitter’s serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. These can be very effective but tend to cause more severe side effects, so they are generally not prescribed unless you’ve tried an SSRI first. Medications in this category include <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Amitriptyline" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">amitriptyline</a> (Amitid), <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Mirtazapine" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">mirtazapine</a> (Remeron) and <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Nortriptyline"  target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">nortriptyline</a> (Pamelor). </p>

<p><span style="font-weight:600; color:#4b94a9;">Atypical antidepressant:</span> These medications don’t fit into any of the other categories of antidepressants but they treat depression in a similar manner. These include <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Bupropion" target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">bupropion</a> (Wellbutrin) and <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Trazodone"  target="_blank" style="color:#222222;">trazodone</a> (Desyrel). </p>

<div style="margin:25px 0; padding: 20px 5%; background-color:#5ba2b6; color:#ffffff;">

<h3><strong>When to see a doctor</strong></h3>

<p>Depression is a highly stigmatized disease that a lot of people do not seek treatment for, in fact, 1 in 6 people (16.6%) will experience it in their lifetime. Depression has a variety of symptoms that affect each individual differently.</p>

<p>If you feel depressed, or think you feel depressed, make an appointment with your healthcare provider as soon as you can. Talking about it is the first step to getting your mental health back on track. </p>

What Depression Is

<p style="font-size:1.35em; margin: 30px auto 30px auto; padding-left:15px; border-left:5px solid #fee203;"><em>Feeling anxious, nervous, or agitated? You’re not alone! General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) affects 6.8 million adults every year. Although GAD is among the most common mental illnesses in the United States, it can significantly affect your quality of life.</em></p>

<h2><strong>What is General Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?</strong></h2>

<p>Normally, individuals occasionally experience fear and worry when faced with situations at work, school, or home, such as taking an exam, speaking in public, or going for a job interview. You may even experience physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate, shortness of breath, upset stomach, insomnia, or fatigue. These symptoms of occasional anxiety come and go, tend to resolve once the temporary issue is over, and do not interfere with your daily life.</p>

<p>An <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/three-major-forms-of-anxiety">anxiety disorder</a> is different. When individuals have an anxiety disorder, they experience persistent or excessive symptoms that interfere with their ability to do well at school or work and can harm relationships. People with a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) feel anxious and worried most of the time, and these worries may be chronic (long-term), severe, and can cause great distress.</p>

<h2><strong>Signs and Symptoms of GAD:</strong></h2>

<p >GAD is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by long-term anxiety, excessive worry, tension, and dread, even when nothing has occurred to trigger or provoke it.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">GAD is marked by physiological and physical symptoms that persist for over 6 months and include:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Rapid heartbeat (palpitations)</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Feeling restless, or “on-edge”</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Feeling shaky or weak</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Easily tired and fatigued</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Feeling irritable</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Having difficulty concentrating</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Difficulty controlling feelings of worry</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Problems relaxing</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Being easily startled</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Having difficulty falling or staying asleep</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Increased muscle aches, tension, and/or soreness (i.e. sore jaw or back)</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Experiencing difficulty participating in everyday activities (i.e. work, study, seeing friends and family)</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Sweaty palms</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Dry mouth</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Trouble breathing</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>How is GAD Diagnosed?</strong></h2>

<p>Symptoms must be present most days of the week for at least 6 months in order to receive a diagnosis of GAD. GAD is diagnosed with a mental health screening completed by your doctor or mental health professional. You may answer self-report questionnaires regarding your symptoms and how long you’ve had them, such as the <u>Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7</u>, which will help your doctor identify the precise diagnosis and <em>severity </em>of GAD. Diagnosis may also include:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Bloodwork and/or urine test, to examine hormone levels that may signify a thyroid disorder.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">A gastric reflux test, for instance, an X-ray of your digestive system or an endoscopy procedure to examine your esophagus for <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/managing-stomach-acid">GERD</a>.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Stress test, to check for heart conditions.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Physical exam, to check for signs indicating that your anxiety may be related to medications or an underlying medical condition.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Patient interview and/or psychological questionnaire to form medical history, symptom details, and determine a diagnosis.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">An assessment of symptom criteria, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>What Causes GAD?</strong></h2>

<p>In many cases, a combination of factors can contribute to the development of GAD.</p>

<ol>
<li style="margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Biological factors</strong>: Differences in brain chemistry and function.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Psychological factors</strong>: Particular personality traits can increase your risk of GAD. For example, being emotional or a distressed person, sensitive/fragile, having difficulty enduring irritation/annoyance, and having a personality that strives for flawlessness. Additionally, those that are more negative, have a timid character or tend to evade danger.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Family history</strong>: Genetics play a role in GAD when individuals have a history of mental health problems in their family.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Health conditions</strong>: Thyroid issues or heart arrhythmias.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Traumatic events</strong>: You may have an increased risk of developing GAD if you have experienced a severe life change that has caused nervousness, including grief, childbirth, or workplace-induced trauma. If you have experienced any form of abuse, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, you may be more at risk of developing GAD.</li>
</ol>

<h1><strong>Treatment Options for GAD</strong></h1>

<p>Treatment options are dependent on how much GAD is affecting your ability to function in your daily life. Various types of medications are used to treat GAD.</p>

<h4 style="color:#5ba2b6;"><strong>1. Antidepressants</strong></h4>

<p>Antidepressants are used as <em>first-line </em>medication options to treat GAD and relieve symptoms. These medications need to be titrated (built-up) in your system slowly to minimize anxiousness. SSRIs and SNRIs are used daily and <strong><em>do not provide immediate relief; takes at least 4 weeks or more </em></strong> for a noticeable effect.</p>

<p>When first starting <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/ssri-and-snri">SSRIs/SNRIs</a>, you may experience some unpleasant side effects, however, they generally decrease or go away after 4-8 weeks.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Common side effects include:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Decreased libido (sexual arousal)</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Drowsiness</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Insomnia</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Nausea—Taking your medication with food may reduce nausea</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Diarrhea</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Dry mouth</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Headache</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Dizziness</li>
</ul>

<h5><strong>Suicide Risk and Antidepressants:</strong></h5>

<p>Although most antidepressants are generally safe, the FDA requires that <strong>all </strong>antidepressants carry a <strong>black box warning </strong>(the strictest warnings for prescriptions) of a possible <strong>increase in suicidal thoughts or actions </strong>in some children, teenagers, or young adults under 25 within the first few months of treatment or when the dose is changed.</p>

<p><em>If you or someone you know has suicidal thoughts when taking an antidepressant, immediately contact your doctor or get emergency help.</em></p><p><strong>Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI)</strong> works on <em>serotonin</em>, an essential neurotransmitter (chemical messenger used to communicate between brain cells), that plays a role in feelings of pleasure and comfort, as well as thinking, memory, sleep, digestion, and circulation. SSRIs can decrease the physiological symptoms of GAD, such as muscle tension, difficulties with sleep, and headaches.</p>

</ol>

<h4 style="color:#5ba2b6;"><strong>2. Buspirone</strong></h4>

<p><strong>Buspirone </strong>is an anti-anxiety medication that belongs to the drug class known as azapirones and is used as a <em>second-line </em>treatment option for GAD. This medication is slow-acting and <strong><em>does not provide immediate relief; takes 2-4 weeks</em></strong> to work when taken on a scheduled basis. Buspirone is most commonly used in combination with an SSRI or an SNRI to enhance the effect of the antidepressant. <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/checkout/Buspirone" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy Buspirone now</a></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Common side effects of buspirone include:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Nausea</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Dizziness and/or drowsiness</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Headache</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Lightheadedness</li>
</ul>

<h4 style="color:#5ba2b6;"><strong>3. Benzodiazepines</strong></h4>

<p><strong>Benzodiazepines</strong> are sedatives that enhance the effect of the neurotransmitter <em>GABA</em>, which is the primary inhibitory (“turn off”) signaler in the brain. GABA plays a role in feeling calm, muscle relaxation, decreasing insomnia, and a decrease in brain activity. These medications are used to <em>relieve acute symptoms </em>of GAD, such as the feeling of worry, muscle aches, headaches, insomnia, and restlessness.</p>

<p>Lorazepam and Clonazepam are both controlled substances and as a result, Marley Drug cannot ship these across state lines. You can get these medications (with a valid prescription) at a discounted price using our coupon website.</p>

</ol>

<p>—Fast relief: Benzodiazepines do <strong>not</strong> treat the underlying cause of GAD. Unlike antidepressants, benzodiazepines work fast, causing you to experience immediate anxiety relief. This temporary anxiety relief helps you complete important obligations that you may have been putting off, such as traveling, giving a presentation, or interviewing for a job.</p>

<p>—Short-term use: Benzodiazepines can be appropriate for short-term use when there is a sudden onset of anxiety, causing increased stress, insomnia, and disruption of life. This can be due to a recent death of a loved one, a natural disaster, or another stressful situation.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">Common side effects of benzodiazepines include:</p>

<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Impaired coordination</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Drowsiness</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Confusion</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Dizziness</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Depression</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:5px;">Vision problems</li>
</ul>

<h5><strong>Safe Use of Benzodiazepines</strong></h5>

<p>Benzodiazepines should <strong>not be used for more than 1–2 weeks</strong>, as this can <em>increase the risk for physical dependence (addiction)</em>. Mixing these medications with alcohol can be very dangerous.</p>
