just a thought. My emotional problems have become worse ever since I turned to the medical community. Now they want me to try Depakote even though there's the possible side effects of hair loss,...
hey Robert - thanx for the advice on my post! As for Effexor - I haven't heard any of those bad stories your wife was talking about. I didn't think it was heavy duty, I thought it was more like...
I don't want to lose my hair - I don't have a lot to begin with and its very hard to grow. I have the bottle of pills but I have yet to take one because the side effects sound so scary...
anyone elso on Depakote and if so what has been your experience? I'm hoping it doesn't knock me out....
thank you guys sooooo much for your advice. She would say that weird stuff and I would just nod my head and agree w/ her, then later I'd be like wow thats kinda hurtful. I was on Paxil, but it wasn't...
I'm on public assistance, I have a special needs child who can't go to regular daycare (she's 4) and a 6 year old. I feel stuck most of the time, I have no money for gas & I live at my ma's, my 4...
thanx for the advice. sometimes I just can't control my emotions and its beyond scary. I wish there was a happy pill. I'm only on Celexa right now & hope it works out. Best of luck with your...
I just read everyones posts. I'm still here but I havent found a solution to my mood swings yet. I've switched to celexa and I'm so nautious plus coming off of Paxil I got the electrical shock brain...
by the way I'm 25...
yeah the thing is I take GNC vitamins, I've researched everything and I've tried every natural thing you can think of, Valerian root, extra calcium, multi's, fish oil, extra B vitamins, extra iron in...
I'm on 40mg Paxil I'm either having a panic attack or I'm so lethargic, like right now I physically can't open my eyes all the way (that morning groggy feeling, only some days it never goes away.) I...
Another day I've slept through. I'm sooo tired and have no idea why I keep having these sleepy days. I went to bed at 8:00p.m., slept all night, got up and put the kids on the bus and went back to...
I just want to stomp my feet, like a 2 year old, cry "no fair" and scream. For real. I know this will pass but everything sucks right now and I have this big lump in my throat. I never had PMS until...
Winston, you're soooo funny! I've had my cat Kako since she was a kitten. I didn't pick her, she picked me (she sat on my shoulder). Little did I know she was playing a sick little game with me. When...
I thought I was the only one who had my feelings hurt my a stupid pet. My cat's name is Kako and she's an outside cat and detatched. I need more love than she can give, darn it!!!! Many a time I have...
I am but like I said it's making me complacant about things, you know I'm realizing I've always been like this since I was a kid, so even though my counselor puts out all these disorders I don't...
agoraphobia, feelings of everyone watching me and judging me, panic attacks, the worst part is the "crazy-single-mom disorder". I don't know if its helping its so far making me care less about the...
I've been on wellbutrin which I hated because it made my dry skin dryer. But I had a friend who tried it a while back and he lost weight, and it worked great for him. Wellbutrin gives you more...
somehow its comforting to know I'm not at the maximum dose(!!) how long did it take for Paxil to stop working for you cheer dad?...
well yesterday I was in Never Never land all day, it was like I was floating through fog all day. My kids loved it though they were partying like it was 1999.....I'm planning on taking my next dose...
wow. I guess for me its opposite. I put my kids on the bus and slept, when they came back I fixed them lunch and for their naptime we all slept (again!) I just woke up I can't seem to stay awake....
by the way Rosie why were you not able to tolerate Paxil?...
yeah that does sound easier. I took it first thing this morning and I'm surprised I was still awake while putting my kids on the bus. It knocked me the heck out!!!! I'm scared though that I'll become...
My dr. switched me from 20mg to 40mg. I'm scared I'm going to go crazy. Anyone else out there try that high a dosage, and if so what happened to you? Thanks.......
People can smell desperation like a vulture can smell a corpse. She's using you honey. I know I'm not very socially adept and used to attract all the worst kind of sob stories you could possibly...
My bad, and I understand why you guys don't want to talk aobut it (you want to bring people up, not help them pull themselves down). I guess the anonymity of the internet brings out conversations...
wow that's cool, that I'm not the only one with these gross-sounding impulses. Thats why I've been too embarrassed to say anything, I know it sounds gross and I feel like they'll just say, "well,...
also one more thing the teeth thing once I start picking them I fantasize about all my teeth being pulled out and like being able to put hundreds of needles in my gums, I don't know when I'm doing...
Hey I was wondering about some other odd idiosyncracies that I have, I'm not sure if they're significant enough to bring up to my physician. Ever since I was a kid I have been poking my gums with...
That's kinda funny you pulled a muscle in your ribcage, I hate it when I do stupid nervous stuff. The other day I pulled up to my drive-thru bank teller, first I hit the wrong button in my car for...
I can see how you can't sleep. For me, when I have bills or too many things scheduled in one day I can't sleep. I try to tell myself, well if things get bad and me and my kids end up in a homeless...
The appointment was ok, it was an intake. My counselor was really nice and I even felt comfortable enough to tell her about the mental breakdowns I've had (been in the hospital twice). It's still all...
Thanks Scaredy cat! I got an appointment at Behavioral Health for tomorrow, I've made a lot of other appointments before but have never showed up, I'm afraid everyone will be looking at me and...
I'm truly beginning to wonder if I'm crazy. As young as I can remember I've never been able to make any friends. I'm a total loner and I'm 25. Looking for love in all the wrong places got me pregnant...
