Asendin Reviews

For Depression "I have used Asendin (amoxapine) for at least 20 years off and on. After my last hospitalization for 7 months, I had been on Mirtazapine, which I and many others gained 30 lbs from and unable to get it off. So I am again on amoxapine and doing well and starting to lose weight finally. It helps a great deal with anxiety, social ability, and the feeling of being overwhelmed. Great medicine. I sometimes fear I won't be able to get it."


For Depression "Indication: Dysthymia - low dose Asendin (50 mg/45 kg), in conjunction with Prozac and Adderall, very effective in improving the mood of a 13-year-old, white male. One case does not a study make, but the results were viewed as significant 'observed' improvements toward euthymic mood and decreased social anxiety in a short period of time (2-3 weeks)."
