I know I'll probably have to try different meds before I find what's...right...for me, but if there was something that had a good "rating" among the majority, maybe that would give me some sort of...
Long story short, I'm being sent to a psychiatrist for depression and to more than likely be given medication for said depression. I'm on Xanax for anxiety right now (as well as some other meds for...
Thanks for the links. For the past few days, I've barely been able to crawl out of bed, let alone be social or anything like that. If I'm not social with the family I live with, it sorta' gets me in...
I've tried taken anti-inflammatory drugs and they don't seem to work. Now the joints in my ankles have started hurting and of course hurt even more when I stand or walk. I doubt anything will come...
I haven't been clinically diagnosed with depression, like I'm not on medication for it or anything, so I don't know if I can really say that I'm depressed and frankly, I don't like saying it. I have...
I've been in similar situations and am sorta' in one now so my advice would be, increase your potassium intake. Maybe there's something emotional that causes you to doze off like that. My therapist...
I know I haven't been around here in awhile, if any of you actually remember me, but I have been having some new issues/symptoms that I've never dealt with before and it's kinda' got me on edge....
As long as you don't over do the exercise and keep in mind that today's actions are tomorrows effects. If you strain yourself too much, it's going to feel worse the next day. Although, I do think...
I personally can't handle Tramadol, it makes me horribly sick, but there are plenty of medications out there. Do some research and see what works for you and your situation. Tramadol might really...
I don't mind being mentioned, but I'd like to *kindly* point out that just because Lex & I are "buddies" and just so happen to have CP, doesn't mean we're the exact same case. I haven't even heard of...
The term "normal" is all relative to your situation. Your daily life might be normal for you but for someone who hasn't dealt with it, it's not going to be considered normal. - Rainy/DD...
Tramadol won't effect your pain contract. When I was on it, I could get it filled with no problem. Like SnowBunny said, you need to let both your doctors know what's going on and what you're doing or...
Janet, It gets worse at night for some reason. Originally I thought it was my sheets or something so I changed that but that didn't help. So I figure it must be the medications. It was really...
I'm sure these diseases and conditions were around, they just weren't recognized as much as they are now. That and I'm sure some conditions around (not pointing anyone out) come from our lifestyles....
For some reason, with all the different pain meds I've been on (Oxycodone, Diazepam, Hydromorophone), I always get itchy after I take them, along with sometimes getting really nauseous but never...
I agree with Lex on this. Having a disability that causes chronic pain myself, it's a battle finding the right combination of medications to manage the pain. If you go "cold turkey" you're also once...
I would read the ingredients on the back and see if any of the correlate with anything else that makes you sick. That or get an allergy specialist and see if you have a legit allergy to something in...
I doubt the life span of your medication has anything to do with your metabolism. I have quite the high metabolism and my medication works as it is prescribed until my body builds up a tolerance to...
Jane, I've had a similar experience. Like you, I've had seizures since my late teens. I'm now 25. Granted, mine didn't involve moving a sofa but it was still strange. I was sitting in the chair and...
ScaredyCat, I notice you mentioned that your daughter was taking Lamictal. I was taking the same medication for my seizures and I have had no such side effect, even when I was just starting to take...
To have all that stuff in just one place must be really nice. Sorry to hear about all the crazy side effects. Thankfully, my side effects to meds aren't that bad. Hope the appointment goes well with...
I haven't heard a lot of good about it. I have the muscle twitches without the Cymbalta, heh....
Could I make a Forrest Gump joke?...
nvrthesame, I've been going to Walgreens...forever, and I've never heard of any such plan. I've seen them offer stuff for Medicare but that's about it. Hrm... I wish all of my co-pays were $2-$3...,...
I'm in Florida, we don't have any Krogers where I live. I have an insurance plan that is not medicaid or medicare. I doubt some of my medication is on their $4 list... :/ I usually go to a Walgreens...
Camano, I'm not even diagnosed as bipolar so I can't give you much advice on medications, let alone specific ones. Maybe you should try to find a message board (or something close to it) and see if...
A question in regards to the price of medications...does the pharmacy at which you get them filled make a difference in how much you pay? Or is it all just insurance based? I hear people paying $4...
Well that answers that....
Thanks for the support BnotAfraid. I appreciate it. JB1, your consolation is exactly what I do not want to be. I think that is why it bothers me so much. I don't want to be that example....
Well, is that listed as a common side effect? It probably is a side effect if it's a new feeling/symptom....
Chibi, I had my hip surgeries due to having Cerebral Palsy since birth. The first one was a hip rotation and the second one was to remove the plates from the previous surgery. The first one was more...
I'm 25 with Cerebral Palsy. It just feels like a total cluster(expletive) with the situation I'm in right now. I'm living with my father and step mother currently and I just...can't deal with it...
I've found myself feeling more and more depressed and unmotivated. Showing more signs of avoidance depression. After hours of late night thinking (because I either sleep forever or don't sleep at...
Chibi Bunny, I'm really sorry about your hips. I've had two hip surgeries on both hips so I can feel your pain there. I hope your recovery and your next surgery goes well. Keep us updated on it. My...
I would like to keep my friendship with her, would sending a "well check" also give them the lame "probable cause" to go rooting around her house and whatnot? I don't want to seem...I don't...
I was wondering if you would answer that honestly. :p...
I would like to learn how to play the ukulele. The problem I always run into is that I am left handed so learning guitar was...interesting. Do you do carvings and stuff like that?...
If pain or disability didn't interfere with your life at all, what would you be? What would you be doing differently? Or are you doing everything you want? I had a new type of day so it got me...
pshaw, you should save up for a Playstation3, although 4 is coming out soon so...maybe save up for that one instead. Very few people in my face-to-face life play and...Brandon freakin' sucks at it...
I do a lot of video gaming. If I'm not doing that, I'm reading. My current favorite author is Chuck Palahnuik. I can't pronounce his last name if my life depended on it. His most famous work was...
Ah SB, just think of Lexi and I as Thing 1 and Thing 2. IRL (in real life) friends for over a decade so we're sorta' the 'finish each others sentences' kinda' type. haha - Rainy/DD...
I've never posted in the bipolar forum before but my stomach is in knots and I don't know where else I should go or what to do. I'm torn and hoping someone on here can help. A good friend of mine,...
'allo Chronic Pain forum. Mods, pardon me if this is not allowed, so I'd rather not be reprimanded if it isn't :wink:. I read through the FAQs and didn't see anything specific about this, just...
MagicRat, when I first opened this thread, there where no responses. By the time I got to the end, there were already so many. I do not know much about what you're posting about (your condition.) but...
People, no matter the age, always have a crush and they don't call it a crush for no reason. This emotion, these feelings are crushing indeed. Even if there was a chance at some point, if there is no...
Blessedx8, I'm not on any nerve medication. I like to keep the number of medications that I take as low as possible and I'm already on 6 medications and multivitamins. I think the oxy was more of a...
Lotsa' newbies around tonight. Welcome to HW. Hope you decide to stick around. I'm not on any of the medication that you're on, but still on plenty of meds myself and quitting cold turkey...
As long as the check cleared and the mafia doesn't have you on their hit list, you're good. Good luck, David. - Rainy/DD...
Lauel101, getting by gave you some great advice. I do not know what it's like to lose my mother but I can imagine that it is very traumatic. This is an emotion, a feeling that you should probably...
Sometimes prices and insurance plans change. No idea why. I had that happen to me, not with Oxycotin, but with other drugs as well as office visits. - Rainy/DD...
