Answer by Scott K
maybe. zoloft is an antidepressant. abilify is an adjunct for people who aren’t responding completely to an antidepressant.
Answer by ransomher
No! Antidepressants should never be prescribed for bipolar patients. Some studies show that antidepressants don’t help or hurt people who suffer from bipolar. However, it’s been my experience that antidepressants actually hurt (mess with your brain chemistry) bipolar patients.

Will Suboxone Show Up on a Criminal Back Ground Check for Nursing School?!?
Question by cary j: Will Suboxone show up on a criminal back ground check for nursing school?!?
[rewrite]I have been on this medication for over a year in the state of Alabama. I have read a few posts mention that if you get a prescription for it that it can show up on a criminal background check??? I have JUST been accepted , but now have drug tests / criminal background checks etc… I am aware that if i am on it when im drug tested it will likely show up depending on the drug screen but I was planning on getting off of it.. BUT , this whole thing with the background check and it showing up on it is a TOTAL bummer !! Is this a state by state thing? does it depend on who does the background check?? And if it is a definitive yes, should I simply tell them up front that I am on the drug? I cannot imagine them allowing me to be on this medication, much less even having used it in the past. Another concern would be that even if I can go to school would the state boards allow me to sit for the NCLEX with this in my past? I have NOT been convicted of any crime or been admitted into any mental health wards or rehabs. This is an opiate treatment drug but not exactly a rehab.. Any input would be appreciated!! Thanks so much in advance !!! 🙂

Why Are Doctors Reluctant to Treat Pain?
Question by hicktowngal: why are doctors reluctant to treat pain?
[rewrite]why are doctors reluctant, at least in my small town, to treat pain. i’ve had a diagnose from a major university that recommend analgesics. nerve damage and degenerative bone disease. is it they are afraid of the demonized opiates and might lose their licenses. i thought doctors went to school to help not cower in fear of the FDA. if you live in eastern oregon and know of a pain specialist please tell.

Answer by Doctor J
Unfortunately, they do cower in fear of their licensing boards and their local district attorney.
