My agoraphobia ended up getting the best of me and I lost my therapist because of different reasons that I couldn't go, I would literally get sick knowing I had to go.....it wasn't so much seeing my...
Thank you for your replies. My therapist is amazing, in fact I don't mind seeing her at all, it is that I wake up like 5 hours early when I know I have to go some where and start my panicking. She...
I was taken off of Brintellix and put back on Zoloft the beginning of this year, Brintellix was an awful medication for me. When I went back on Zoloft I believe I had two reasonably good months that...
Happy Turtle, my Therapist had information for me, but when I told her about my discussion with my Aunt and my concerns with anyone messing with my brain she totally shut it down, and didn't go on at...
Wow thank you for your replies, Thank you Happy turtle for such detail, you said basically exactly what my Psychiatrist said right down to the toe :smile: my Psychiatrist never wanted to get into...
Superdan as my Psychiatrist explained it isn't barbaric as it once was, but you do suffer some memory loss and it "usually" comes back, I never want the word "usually" used in any treatment of the...
Can anyone tell me if they have ever had Electroconvulsive therapy, and if so did it help? My anxiety and depression is at the moment very untreatable or I am considered medicine resistant. My...
I think the symptoms came on so gradually that before I knew it, I was deep in despair. I started a medication called proprononlol to help with my anxiety, but after 6 weeks I had a severe allergic...
Thank you Scaredy cat, I have to say this is really bad, I can't even explain to anyone how I am feeling right now, I feel so very lost, my therapist gave me her personal cell phone number if I...
I know people have different takes on therapy, but it is something I am really trying to do, unfortunately because I have such severe anxiety issues it is to the point that my Psychiatrist believes...
Okay stillme, so was I, which it did help me and I was able to reduce my intake of xanax. 6 weeks later I had an allergic reaction to the medication and had to quit, I saw my Psychiatrist yesterday...
Thank you Trina, I think as it get deeper into my therapy I will hopefully be able to move on from the traumatic events that has really caused me to be stuck. Funny after my first Therapy session,...
still me, how do you do on the propranolol, not sure if you take it for blood pressure or anxiety. My Dr started me out on a small dose 10 mg's 3 times a day, it really worked well for me, but then I...
Thank you for the words of encouragement, when I saw my new therapist on Friday, she did say that is a very good thing about me, that I do reach out before it is too late. When I found this...
I haven't posted in quite sometime, I seem like a broken record I do well for a few months and then I start falling back into depression. This episode I am going through now is probably the worst...
Nightcrawler, I have been on and off of Zoloft for a long period of time, I didn't think I had any side affects from it(other than occasionally an upset stomach), but I am wondering now if it is the...
Thank you Jakesmom, unfortunately I think I've really caused bad damage to my teeth, and oddly enough I wasn't even aware that I was doing it for the longest time, now that I am aware of it, I try to...
Wow, Anxietyrose so do I, I've actually made my teeth in the back loose, I wake up with my teeth aching, so funny I never thought the medicine had anything to do with it or could have anything to do...
I know this may sound incredibly ignorant, I have a really bad issue with grinding my teeth all the time, whether I am awake or asleep(doing it right now), it has become such a habit that I do it...
Wow I can relate to your post, my Father is 75, and hasn't had Alzheimers for very long that we know of, but this year has been a difficult one for him. My Mother who is in excellent health takes...
My Father who has Alzheimers has issues with sundowners syndrome very badly, especially when he is away from home. He was in the hospital in March and I stayed with him a couple of days because of...
I take zoloft, and 25 mg's is normally the start-up dose. I did feel more panicky the first few days, but it does get better. I've been on it a few times throughout my life, and it does seem to make...
I guess there are a couple of posts on brintellix from different posters, I posted on a few about my experience with the mediation, but I am not normal :wink:...
I may have commented on your post in the other forum, it is a very new drug, incredibly expensive and I have heard wonderful success stories from people who are on it. I was on it for several months,...
I was on Brintellix for a few months, I've heard great success stories from people on it, my Psychiatrist has other patients that are on it and do amazing, unfortunately I was not one of these...
Oh wow, I could never ever part with him, I don't care if I am 95 years old(lord willing and the creek don't rise) :wink:, I will take care of this boy. I was told when he was about 9 years old by...
This could be long, but I will try to make it brief. When my Son was 28 months old he became ill over night with a rare neurological condition called Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome, he lost all...
Thank you Scaredy Cat, my issue with therapy is not so much the therapy, but the drive to therapy, so I am trying to find a therapist closer to my area, I think I was traumatized by my last ride to...
I've recently started getting migraines, I've had one for 4 days now, and like you I am quite worried. I've tried tylenol, and advil, tried a combination of both and it just won't go away. It makes...
I've wondered for myself about receiving disability for my Depression/anxiety/agoraphobia. I have a case worker and she highly suggested that I apply, especially being I have been seeing a...
Thank you for your replies, I guess being I am a little obsessive compulsive having a blood pressure monitor could be an issue, just because I may be attached to it 24/7. I am dieting and exercising,...
I suffer with agoraphobia and panic attacks, as most know. I had an appointment with my Psychiatrist on the 5th, and when they took my vitals my blood pressure was 176/97, with a heart rate of 103,...
Park I am on Zoloft, I've tried many other AD's and Zoloft has helped me the most. This time it doesn't seem to be helping my anxiety as much as it did before, or I am just having a terrible issue...
Thank you all for your replies. Strangely enough even on Face book when people tend to try to get too close I always back down, I've had a few people stay with me even though I avoid conversation...
Thank you Karen for your reply. I recently ended a friendship that I had since I was 13 years old, my friend whom I do love would make plans with me, and never follow through, then when I would see...
I haven't posted in quite sometime, I really didn't feel like I had a lot to share for a while. My depression has seemed to be pretty good for me, but my lack of social interaction has seemed to...
I have noticed whenever I respond to a post no one will ever comment back, maybe I have been blackballed from this group, I just find it strange. Keaz was one of the only people that would even talk...
Benadryl gives me the complete opposite effect, I get antsy, can't sleep and feel weird in the head. Before my son would go under anesthetic they would give him benadryl to help the effectiveness of...
She said she is going to watch me very closely, they take this serious. I do see a Psychiatrist and was in therapy for a bit, but the therapy(unfortunately) was making my panicking way worse(which I...
My Doctors appointment went very well, I lost 7 pounds in less than a month since seeing her. She thinks the fluctuation in my blood sugar is my panic disorder, and I am hoping my medicine will...
If a Doctor weans you off, he will know how to do it correctly. I had to quit cold turkey years ago(lost insurance so couldn't afford to see the Doctor that prescribed me xanax), it was the worst...
HA! I didn't remember that :blush:, but I will keep you posted. Again thank you for your awesome support in a very foreign situation for me....
I literally am terrified of bats, my apartment is near a wooded area, and about dusk the bats come out to play, they fly so erratic, I would surely think that you would have seen one by you, I mean...
Thank you Lanie, how did you know it was my birthday? We had a get together at my Moms, my Son's birthday was yesterday, mine was today. Today is the first day I've eaten bad in quite awhile, and I...
Thank you Lanie, I did do a GTT years ago, it was a 3 hour test, I did very well for the first 2 hours, but my doctor at the time said the 3rd hour my sugar went into seriously low numbers, he said...
I have Lisa(lesweet) on my Facebook, I see her post from time to time, we haven't talked personally in a while, but her posts always seem uplifting and good....
Thank you Lanie, and I don't at all take you as trying to be a Doctor, you are just trying to help me, and I appreciate it. Today my sugar has been very good. Unfortunately I do suffer from an...
Sherrine I have an appointment with my PCP on Thursday we will discuss what is next, which I am assuming will be an Endocrinologist. I am eating low carb and usually don't eat after 7pm, so I will...
Sherrine I have never been diagnosed with diabetes, but I have been diagnosed with Hypoglycemia, I just had my fasting blood sugar checked it was 91 and my A1c was 5.7 or 5.9 so my doctor said I am...
Thank you Lanie, I know it is really a bad situation for me. To be truthful at this point I hate testing my sugar, it is just so unstable. Last night at 7:30 pm my Doctors office called and said my...
