Is there anyone out there that is using Loreev Xr for GAD?

Posted by andiee @andiee, 2 days ago

Has anyone been on Loreev Xr for longer than 4 months? I’m on month 6 going on 7….on the 2 mg once in the morning. Seems as though I’m having breakthrough anxiety. Like my body has gotten used to it. Experiencing nausea and anxiousness again like in the beginning…every few days…also take Remeron 15 mg once before bed. That one has been very helpful, gave me my appetite back and knocks me out no problem. Sometimes I can’t wait until night time so that I can take my Remeron and feel normal and fall off to sleep.

Just a couple of months ago, I tried Loreev XR and I had to stop taking it. I was only able to stay on it for one week because the constant nausea and increased anxiety, caused by it, were intolerable. My psychiatrist said it may be because of its extended release formulation. When I asked my regular pharmacist if she had ever had another customer complain about the medication causing nausea and anxiety, she said I am the only person, so far, for whom she’s ever filled a prescription for Loreev XR. I ended up resuming my regular immediate release Ativan (lorazepam). I simply could not withstand the Loreev XR side effects.

Wow so glad that I’m not the only one that experiences nausea with this. I’ve been nauseous everyday. I said every few days but it’s honestly everyday. The Ativan had me nauseous as well. Tried Prozac that was fail. Scared to try anything else but doesn’t look like I have a choice. My pharmacist said that me and one other person are the only ones who have prescription for Loreev…nobody else.
