Hi Court Reporter, Hope your surgery went well. Please let us know how you are. Annie...
Had thumb joint surgery in 2004, best thing I ever did, no pain since recovery. The basal thumb joint had completely deteriated and the bone fragments cut through a tendon. Went to a surgery center...
Didn't go to the doctor today. I thank God for this, my blood pressure is back in the low 30's or 20's over 80's. I got to thinking about reasons that it could be getting so high and realized that I...
Go ahead and cry. It just proves that you are human. Hopefully you will be able to get help with your problems. God Bless...
This morning my pressure was down to 143/86. This is still too high but much better than yesterday. Before the Wellbutrin my numbers were usually in the 120's over 80's. I guess I must decide if the...
Maggie, May I ask if the BP issue is why you can't go back on the Wellbutrin. I really like the results the Wellbutrin gives for the depression. I hate to have to give it up. Also, how hard is it to...
I know that I can make my BP go up when I am worried about it being high. It seems that when I take a reading if I think, oh I know this is going to be to high, sure enough it is. The Wellbutrin has...
I do not see a psychiatrist, my GP prescribed the Wellbutrin. It was making me feel so much better but I obviously can't take it. Other AD's react differently on me, it seems that they make the...
I am taking 150mg of generic Wellbutrin XL daily. It is causing my BP to go through the roof. The doc increased my Bystolic to 10mg and I am having a hard time tolerating it. How can I ween off the...
This drug is known for making you lose weight. Is there anyway that you can avoid the weight loss?...
I didn't know that anti-depressants caused this problem. I am on Wellbutrin. I will look it up to see if this is a side effect.Thanks...
Would sure like to get some comments on this. I am very concerned at this point....
Hi everyone, All of a sudden I have had a sudden jump in blood pressure. My reading have been in the low hundreds over seventy for a couple of years. I take Enalapril and Bystolic to keep things...
Thanks for the encouragement. I get so depressed and upset with myself because I let these things happen to me. I am wondering if the Wellbutrin that I started taking about three weeks ago was the...
I am so embarrased, had to take my dog to the vet today and while I was waiting for the doctor the weird feelings started happening. I was in a tiny room with the door closed and thank goodness my...
Can anyone help with this information. does the dizzyness ever go away??...
New prescription of this drug. Makes me dizzy so I am almost afraid to take it. What results have the rest of you had with this. Thanks, Annie...
I thought the new anti-depressant was helping me but evidently it is not. I can't get rid of the diarrhea that I have had for weeks, doc gave me meds for it and I nearly passed out when I stood up it...
Thanks for all the responses...
Welcome to the world of anxiety. The doc will get you started on some meds if you don't improve. What you are feeling is normal.\ Annie...
For years my doctor has been wanting to give me anti-depressant meds. I tried to many different ones with bad results. Finally I got to the point that I told her that I give up, bring it on whatever...
Which probiotic did you use? I take Digestive Advantage but it doesn't seem to help....
I am having stomach problems, nausea, the big D. Down deep I know that this is the result of stress and anxiety, but the negative thoughts keep going through my head. I am so depressed over the whole...
I have bad anxiety issues and I know that I have caused myself to have IBS. I mentioned this to my doctor a few months back and she said she was not surprised and that there was no cure for it, told...
Thanks everyone. I was really bumed out as I went out with this group to have a good meal and social exchange. I am no beauty anymore but I don't scare small children when they look at me. ( age is...
Here I go again. Health anxiety.....went to a dinner this evening and one of the people there started telling me how bad I looked. Wanted to know if I was ok... First thing I knew, here I am shaking...

I am very lucky to live within a 15 minute distance to all the grandkids and my daughter. I will hopefully be there when our little blessing arrives. Will let you all know the details. Love to all...
I guess I have won this contest. LOL Although 72 years are behind me, I am very lucky to feel like I am still 50. ( until the stress/anxiety hits and then i am sure I am 90 ) I have one great...
does this just help with constipation or does it help diarrhea too?...
We will be starting a new year tomorrow so, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF MY NEW FRIENDS. I was thinking that after reading post after post that I must be the oldest member on this forum. How about all of...
Hi Marie, what is Kefir and what do you take it for, diarrhea? I am interested in finding something to help me in this area. Thanks , Annie...
Shelly, you just described me perfectly. I worry about everything. Stress is tearing my body apart. I worry about bathroom issues being something fatal which makes me have to go even more. I know...
I freak out over diagnostic invasive tests. I am so afraid of being told the worst. I have high BP also but am so used to checking it at home and having it checked at the doctor that it no longer...
Welcome, you are in the right place for help. These wonderful people have helped me so much. I too have stress/anxiety. When stressed to the limit the cramping and diarrhea start. Its no fun, but yes...
I have the reverse effect. When I am stressed out or having anxiety issues I can't make myself eat. Nothing tastes right and I can't swallow it....
Don't give up on your marriage without seeking help first. If you have a minister, talk to him/her. Talking over my problems with someone really helps me get through the rough spots. This forum is a...
Joint therapy sessions would be good for you and your hubby. I have a cousin and his wife who were having problems and this is the path that they took and are having very good results. Best of luck...
Yes Tina, I got through the day just fine. Thanks for asking. I was so busy that I too forgot about the things that worry me to death and wasn't a bit anxious; however, when everyone left and I sat...
This is supposed to be such a happy day. Here I am stressing out and already ready to throw in the towel. I have decided that I am going to bite the bullet and tell my doctor that I need more meds....
Sounds like you have the same physical symptoms as me. Stress/anxiety= digestive disorders, no fun. We can make it one more day, we will just pray for strength to get through the day. Christmas...
Hi, How well I can relate to your situation, and I am sure that there are many more on this forum who will respond to you. You will get answers from your Gyn when you go. I am sure that you will find...
Hi Tinlou, Sorry you are also having a bad time. I got through the day before preparations in the kitchen but I was so tired and worn out that I had to lay down and rest for a while before I start in...
I would love to go back to CBT, but my insurance won't pay for it anymore and I really can't afford it since my hubbie takes so many expensive meds for his diabettes. He is in the medicare doughnut...
I was wondering if hyptotism could help control the crazy thoughts we have concerning our health issues. I know I make myself have symptoms. I can feel fine and then think, I wonder if my stomach...
Count me in. Will try my best not to self diagnose or to check symptoms. Annie...
Praying for your step dad to have a complete recovery. Annie...
Thanks Scaredy Cat, I have told them that I am to the place that I can no longer handle things. It seems to go in one ear and out the other. I also know that I can't be taken advantage of without my...

Thank goodness for this forum. I am convinced that the stress and anxiety are giving me IBS. I am to the point that I feel like I can't take anymore. I have so much to do before Christmas and...
