or are afraid to because of the side effects, but what i don't understand is why they don't just listen to their doctors and do what they say for them to do side effects or not. what is worse, being...
stumpy, i just make myself do it. all i am dealing with is depression, so if you realize that it is your brain that is doing it to you and not anything that is wrong with you, you will win. i know...
i have those days too. but i think it's my medication that makes me feel that way, because im on my 10th day or lexapro and it has made me really tired. all you gotta do is just make yourself do...
i went to the doctor and he said im fine, that it is just the anxiety. good news is i am actually feeling happy while at work. i use to dread going there, but now i don't mind it. i also found a way...
i have my appointment in about a half an hour. i just get so jumpy because of my dad dying, that it just isn't worth the risk i think. i wrote down questions i have, along with what medication im...
im going to make an appointment now. i did take 2 of my anxiety pills, and having been practicing a breathing excercise, and it seemed to calm me down. i have just been really stressed out with the...
yeah, i slept fine last night. today i have a tight feeling in my chest and stomach, but it almost went away after taking some more anxiety pills. my fiances dad is a firefighter, and said that the...
anybody who is taking this, do you ever feel your muscles tighten up in your stomach and chest from using lexapro. i don't think it's heart related, as i can sometimes relax both muscles, and i was a...
i knew it was panic the whole time, or anxiety. not really a panc attack, just my mind racing. im going to talk to my doctor on the 13th, and ask him if i have anything to worry about. i mean if my...
im fine now. i took 2 of my anti anxiety pills, and it calmed me down. i had chinese food today, so there i was feeling a little guilty, but the tightness is gone and i feel fine. i knew it wasn't my...
but only when i take a very deep breathe. i am having problems with anxiety, and am feeling nervous right now for no real reason. it doesn't hurt with normal breathes at all, just when it's a deep...
i know what you mean rosie. i always feel like i have to apoligize to my fiance when i cry or whatever, because i feel im the man and should act like it, but then again i realize that crying and...
alound whisper, i am so sorry to hear what happened to you. i almost cried while reading it. but what you have to remember is that is over and you can't change what happened. i know that is so much...
I did for ahwile, but have seemed to get over it with the help of tylenol pm. but whatelse helps me is a fan. it is a really calming sound, as silence sometimes can be scary i think. but the sound of...
i couldn't stand my doctor. it feels like doctors could care less sometimes. i will see mine 1 more time, then see if he can refer me to someone else. i went in one time for my panic attacks, or to...
i am curious, whats cd. is it crohns or chroms disease, but anyway what happens when you have it?...
i sure could use retirement. i do have 4 days off coming up, where i will use part of the days looking for jobs, and the rest just resting and doing stuff around the house. mostly though im gonna...
im not suicidal, it was just a thought i had because i kept reading everybody's posts and i was afraid there was no way i was going to get better, and it just got me into a really deep depression,...
thanks teri. my mom cant wait for everybody to see me, or us. last time they saw me, i was at my fattest. i wore a sixe 5 xl shirt, and size 56 pants. now im wear a 2xl and a size 44 pants. not...
being around my fiance, basketball, watching basketball especially the portland trailblazers, this forum and all the friendly supportive people, my co workers(well maybe 2 or 3 of them), and just...
i saw someone else post that they get anxious. im kinda calm right now, but just got out of the shower. i am usually calm at home, but at work i can't help but think bad thoughts. i guess i should...
just got back from the gym after an hour long basketball game. im tired, but i feel good because before i left, i weighed myself thinking i maybe lost a lb, and come to see i lost another 8 lbs. im...
definetly keep taking the meds. i don't like taking anything, but which is worse, depression and anxiety, or being a little jittery and headachey for a month or less and having a chance to kill the...
I started taking it on saturday april 30th, and haven.t had any of the side effects anybody has talked about like headaches. maybe my throat gets a little dry, but i also get a little anxious. is...
thanks lefty. i feel like you can't really move forward unless you admit your mistakes. i have admitted everything i have done to her, which is nothing bad, but still felt good to get it off my...
i remember when i worked graveyard like 5 years ago, i would have the same thoughts i have now. i use to try to sleep and all i could think about was if i were going to have a heart attack like my...
i have to learn joy i think. i don't even remember real joy it's been so long. but i was using marijuana to cover it up and make myself think i was joyful, when in reality i've been a mess. i feel...
thank you. i feel very blessed. she is always there to cheer me up no matter how down i get. she has even helped me in my job search and when im asleep during the day because of my graveyard shift...
thanks for the response. i feel better now that you guys have shared your numbers. my numbers are even after being on a low carb diet where it's fat, fat and more fat, so my cholestrol should go even...
about 2 weeks ago i proposed to my girlfriend of almost 5 years, and we are going to be getting married sometime in august of 06. i think back on some of the things i have done to her and i wonder...
can you tell me if soon after, or even before your heart attack what your cholestrol was at. i am having anxiety problems, and keep worrying about heart attacks, so i am trying to use my recent blood...
i know that i am sober for good. 10 years was plenty of time to zone out, do nothing but get high, eat crap and watch tv. now it's time to take my life seriously and be something i know i can be. i...
thank you so much ray, that helped me out a ton. all my tests, as far as cholestrol and blood pressure have come back fine. i don't have any symptoms, such as pain in my arms, nausea,lightheadedness...
after my psychitrist said i was moderately depressed, which isn;t mild but isn't severly depressed, which is a good thing. I think alot of my depression comes in my standing in life and some other...
the as needed med is lorazepam, at . 5 mg. i was taking xanax, but my psychitrist thought this one would be better because of my past drug use with marijuana. i havent taken one yet, just a half a...
everybody has those days. i have to work tonight but all i want to do is stay in bed and either sleep or watch tv, anything but work. i think what you need to do is just make yourself do it. it...
all of this sounds very scary, and honestly kind of a hopeless battle. seems like its just cheaper for people to die, so doctors don;t do the necessary tests to find problems, but instead do the less...
just got lexapro today and will take it in a few after breakfast. but from what i have heard, it sounds like it works. i also have another med for the anxiety, but will only take that when needed. i...
i have insurance through blue cross, but it is a ppo. my mom use to work with blue cross, and said most insurance companies won't cover it unless it is totally necessary. mine would be just for piece...

thank you for your support. I am 24 right now, and was 13 when he died. the anniversery was just about a month ago of his death, and was very hard this year. Right now i have the fear of dying of a...
thanks lefty, but i also didn't ask to have my dad die. I feel horrible for kids like that, but try living your life without your father, then get back to me and see how you feel. not only did he...
And I am afraid the same thing will happen to me. he was 41 when he died which was 11 years ago last march. I am losing weight, but am still at about 320 lbs, which is down from 420 lbs a year ago,...
you need to tell your friend you do know what you are talking about, and that he needs to cut back on the salt, but he should monitor his bloodpressure at home and not at the doctors office. they...
But haven't had the same thought since. My thought wasn't i want to die, someone kill me or how do i kill myself, but if my anxiety or depression will be with me for the rest of my life and is...
