Hi Joan, Despite your congenital problems with the hammer toes, it looks like you are making a concerted effort to try to exercise (on a daily basis). My wife, I'm afraid cannot accomplish the long...
I was fearful of the prospect of dreaming when I was aware of my depression, and diagnosed as such to the point of using these psychotropic, mind-altering drugs. I am since off all medications, thank...
Hello Everyone, it seems that most of you are having problems based on your revisitation of the past in one way or the other. You can only control the moment in which you find yourself. The past is a...
I have now been off the Effexor XR and Seroquel for exactly 1 month. I have never had anything that approaches the way you guys describe your "brain zaps" either while I was on the medications or...
Sunny, I had about a year of bruxism (teeth grinding) which coincided with my taking of antidepressant medications. I tried one of the "boil it and shape it" sports mouthpieces you can buy in the...
Judy, I had written you a longer, more technical response last night......but, alas, the computer froze up and I lost it. In summary, I have not tried fish oil consistently in the past because of its...
Hello nk007....... I just joined the forum a couple of days ago, so I imagine it is probably too late to give you any advice to help you pass that stone. How did everything "come out"? I have had...
Jo-Anna, pardon me for saying so, but you seem to be a woman crying out in the wilderness, a tree falling in the forest when there is no one around to hear. Your folks seem like a bunch of heartless,...
Hello coopsmom.....I truly feel for the quandary you seem to find yourself in, regarding your medications. I don't feel as qualified to respond to your situation as some of these others who, like...
Hello Andy, I echo the sentiments of all the other contributors. This is one drug that you should never play around with. I was on it for about 8 months, starting at 75 mg. and working up to 225. I...
Hello anxious 24. Just came across your recent post regarding your endoscopy procedure. By now, it is hopefully behind you, and I pray that the results were good and encouraging. I have only been on...
CVC.....I was looking at your numbers and can offer you some feedback, take it for what it is worth. I have been fighting elevated triglycerides all of my adult life. A textbook normal for that...
Dear BnotAfraid.....My coping skills were born of sheer necessity to overcome the great obstacles that were in front of me. Necessity is the mother of invention, they say. I have always been a man of...
Hi, Joan.....my wife has osteoarthritis in her knees and back. She is also quite overweight, to the point of significantly obese. I am sure this is the cause of her developing the disease in the...
I must admit, I have already posted replies on a couple of the forums...but, now I realize I may have jumped the gun a little bit. First, in the way of introduction, I am a new member as of 6-9-2014....
My weaning process was a joint effort, probably accelerated to some degree, due to my determination to become drug free. My doctor was very cooperative in this endeavor, and advised me not to try and...
Am I allowed to refer to you as Karen, or should I reference your username? Since I just started on this community today, I don't want to do anything that would be inappropriate. I am off the...
I have found some old posts on this topic, but none in the recent past. I have been off this stuff for about 3 weeks now, and would like some discussion on some possible irritating side effects that...
