Has anyone taken Aplenzin 522mg tablets? My doc prescribed this, and honestly I am a bit worried about the side effects. Especially the eye problems

#depression #mentalhealth #SAD #medication

I've been prescribed Aplenzin 522mg tablets to help with my seasonal affective disorder. I've been wondering how common other side effects are. My doctor told me about the more serious side effects, but i want to know the normal side effects...like, can anyone share their experiences? I'm curious about how often people experience things like dizziness, headaches, or trouble sleeping. Are these things that go away after a while, or do they stick around? Also, I've heard that some people notice the tablet shell in their stool, should I be worried about that? Has anyone else experienced this?

I've been on Aplenzin for 6 months and have noticed a significant improvement in my mood. I did experience some minor side effects like headaches and dry mouth, but they were manageable. Do talk to your doctor about anything concerning.

Definitely talk to your doctor about any side effects you're experiencing. It took me a few weeks to adjust, but it's been working well for me. Just be mindful of any changes in your vision or skin, and report them as needed.

I was terrified of the side effects when I started Aplenzin, but I've been lucky and haven't experienced any. The only thing I noticed is that I see the tablet shell in my stool. I would talk to your doctor about anything concerning and in the end it is just important that you feel safe and healthy.

I've been taking Aplenzin for a while and I've had a few side effects, but nothing too bad. I got a rash on my arm, but it went away and I am good to go!

My doctor advised me to avoid alcohol while on Aplenzin. There are not any side effects that I've had but I can already see my mood has started to improve.

Be cautious and read the warnings on the box. It's scary to think about the possibility of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. But honestly, the benefits have outweighed the risks for me so far.

I noticed the tablet shell in my stool too, but my doctor said it's normal. I had a weird rash but that went away after a week. Just keep an eye on any severe side effects and stay in touch with your doc.

So far, so good for me. Haven't had any serious side effects yet. I did have a checkup with my psychiatrist and an eye exam to make sure I am good to go.

I had a bad experience with Aplenzin. I experienced hallucinations and had to stop taking it. The side effects were just too much for me. It's important to listen to your body and consult with a professional.
