Hello all. As a teacher, this is a tough topic and one that has also affected my personal life. If these topics upset you, don't watch but I'd appreciate your thoughts as well. Thanks!...
I'm still here, just been very busy. Hope all of you are well....
Hope you had a great Birthday, Jamie! Sorry I'm late, haven't been on in a few days....
Hope you all have an awesome weekend. Cody...
Thanks for the advice and kind words, Trina. I work 2-10pm tonight so I will know soon what is going to happen. If he disrespects me or puts blame on me for his mistakes again, I'm going to calmly...
Hello all, hope you are well. I'm a bit overwhelmed, but I've got Saturday and Sunday off! Still working both jobs and just started to work on my masters degree on the 17th. My one boss scheduled me...
Thank you both. I guess I'll just give it a bit more time and make an appointment if need be to get the paperwork needed. Cody...
Hello all, it has been a while. I am dealing with a lot of stress and depression right now. I work two part time jobs at minimum wage to pay the bills, and I start grad school in a little over two...
I know I'm in the minority, but the colder the better for me. Give me rain,snow, sleet, hail, etc. and I'm at the top of my game. I hate sunny and warm weather, makes me want to stay inside....
A lot of the meds for GERD can cause constipation....
Violet, please remember that you have the power over your life. No matter how bad you feel things can get better if you allow them to. Let people help you, especially if you continue to feel so...
I substitute teach, and had no experience at all. I've already subbed 10-12 times this year at all age levels, as well as special education classes. I like it so much that I'm considering getting my...
Violet, I am sorry you are suffering the way you are. I'm glad that you are seeking help, which is what you need. If a bug flew into your throat, it would be long dead and unable to do anything to...
Well all, I didn't take it last night. Successfully off the meds, we will see how long this lasts. Interesting side note, I had an incredible lucid dream last night. I am a lucid dreamer anyways, but...
Stillme, you should be ok. For me, it made me emotionless. It killed all of my anxiety and allowed me to sleep better, so it did part of it's job. Just give it a try and see what happens! CM...
I'm down to 20 MG a day, going to get off this and try something else. Constant headaches and trouble sleeping, but it should pass.....
Join the club bro. Be happy you have a girl that loves you, instead of some of us with girls that judge and leave us. Keep your head up and realize how lucky you really are. I haven't been happy for...
I must be lucky, no aftertaste!...
Hello all, just thought I would pass this along. I have been taking Zegerid OTC for a couple of months now, once a day. I have almost ZERO symptoms anymore, and can eat anything I want as long as it...
I hope you have a great Birthday Jamie! CM...
He said not to worry about it if I didn't have symptoms, which I don't. I'm easing off of it though, as it has made me emotionless. I took two today, will ease off in a week. Possibly go on something...
I have a doc appointment tomorrow, I'll ask about this! Thanks....
I'm on 60 MG a day and it hasn't affected my heart beat at all. I'll keep an eye on it though....
I don't have a psychiatrist. I went that route before, and it didn't do anything for me, except make me want to punch him in the face. He was really judgmental and I felt like I was less of a person....
I have been taking Citalopram for about a month now, as mentioned in other posts. I have been bumping my dosage up the whole time, as my doc is trying to find the right dose. For a week now, I've...
I agree with the others, take it. If it doesn't work out, at least you tried. If you don't at least try it, you will regret it and allow yourself to avoid working. I'm substitute teaching while...
Glad to hear it seems to be calming you down. Hope it continues to help you! CM...
I've taken both, Citalopram 60 mg now. Ithink that's generic Celexa, not too sure. I had sexual side effects with Celexa where I couldn't ejaculate, but it passed after two weeks. It can also make...
Just sit down, close your eyes, and try to relax. You are in control of the situation, don't forget that. CM...
Jamiee, glad you are back home. Take care of yourself! CM...
Maybe they aren't mad at you at all, but the only way to find out is to ask. Explain how you want them to be honest, and if they are your friends I'm sure they won't be mad at you. You cannot be...
Jamiee, I hope this brings you some relief, take care. Cody...
May, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I hope that each day brings you a little less pain. Your mom wouldn't want you to be hurting, but I can't imagine how tough it must be. Losing anybody is...
Hey Jamie, I can't sleep either. I hate to see that you have felt so badly. I hope that you find some relief, and still aren't smoking. I have never smoked, but know people who quit. They feel so...
Do you guys/gals ever get shortness of breath on this medication? The last week my mouth is extra dry and when I run(I'm in very good shape) I've been gasping for air the last few days. It goes away...
I did, to the point that I started doing it anyway and paying for it. Eventually, I decided it was better to be honest with my friends. I explained to them my situation, and most understood and...
I just graduated, but I had GERD throughout college. My only issue was going out and partying, which I had to avoid. I still did go to parties, but I had to avoid drinking alcohol very often or pay...
Thanks, responses much appreciated!...
Thanks for all the replies. It's such an annoying, uncomfortable symptom to never feel hungry! I was always used to being hungry all the time and food tasted so great. Now, nothing tastes good or...
For the last few years, I have been taking some form of medication off and on for GERD. The last couple of months, I find that I'm only hungry in the morning, and that the area above my stomach feels...
Hey Jamie, sorry you are having a bad day. These headaches/pains have me kinda down as well, all we can do is make the best out of the day. I hope as the day goes on, it is better for you. CM...
I appreciate all of you more than I can put into words. Thanks for being there for me so quickly, and I would do the same for any of you. Hopefully in a week or two the head pains and itchy crawly...
Alright, new symptoms.. My head and scalp itches like crazy, like something is in my hair. Also have aches around my head, mild but kind of scary. Any of you experience this? Going to keep taking the...
Thanks for the comments Karen. So far, it seems to make me really sleepy. Hopefully this stops soon after my body gets used to it, because my eyes are tired and heavy for most of the day o this it...
Was given samples of low dose Lexapro, hopefully it helps!...
Thanks Jamiee. I called this morning and I'm going tomorrow to see if I can get on Zoloft. I'm hoping my physical symptoms are being caused by anxiety and depression so that they will be helped with...
Hello Jamiee, I hope you are feeling better today. CM...
I appreciate all of you for the responses. Esem, very interesting idea and thank you for such a well thought out post. I do avoid medications, but I may have to go that route again soon. Times are...
Hey guys, I finally remembered my user name. I have suffered from depression off and on since I was a young kid, and occasionally used medication. The last couple of years I have been generally...
Zegerid for a while, than Kapidex but I decided that the symptoms aren't bad enough to keep taking them. I take over the counter stuff as needed but this neck pain is annoying....
