Hi Countess18! During my flare of 2008 I started on Remicade but then developed allergic reactions to it so I wasn't on it very long, but I'd had enough infusions to where they could just put me on...
I think I'd say so. I prepared for a 10k from January - March with no problems. Ran the 10k at the end of March. Since March I've run anywhere from 2/3/4/5/6 miles every other day. Last week I only...
Thanks everyone! I'll give the Canasa another week or so to see if it helps, and then request what you suggested if not. It's hard to decipher (like Sara14 said) if the running makes things worse or...
Hello all! I had been in remission for several years but I am now experiencing my 3rd flare. I'm 35. First flare occurred at age 25. I had a colonoscopy last week and they found 2 inches of active...
My husband and I were thinking of trying for a baby this spring/summer. My psychiatrist is of the opinion that I should stay on the 25 mg of Pristiq (lowest dose) I take, and get off of it during my...
My panic attacks lately have been taking many forms. Sometimes I get the classic numbness, trouble breathing, and overall tingly-bad feelings. But sometimes I get these awful ones where I feel like...
I've been trying to manage my anxiety for quite some time, and have had such bad experiences with other antidepressants. My psychiatrist suggested that I try Pristiq a couple weeks ago, and I told...
Totally understand! I went to meet my husband for coffee on Friday afternoon near my office... and the coffee shop was too crowded and I had to text him from outside and say, "I can't go in there....
I typically get 2 types of panic attacks. One is the, I guess, more typical. Limbs go numb. Can't breathe. Rapid heart beat. Fear. Shaking. And the other (the one I've had more frequently) is the...
I have #'s 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, & 11! :(...
Thanks everyone! Your responses have been really helpful. :)...
Larry - you're absolutely right. This weekend was rough but looking back I know I felt the best when I was doing those 3 hours of yard work, or even just watching television. It's when I come inside...
Thanks Scaredy! I completely forgot to mention that I am in therapy once every two weeks. I've been in therapy for years now, and it does help - sometimes. But I almost wish I could see her every...
After having trouble with Zoloft, Vibryd, Wellbutrin, and Celexa my psych. suggested I get the GeneSight test. Unfortunately it showed that Zoloft & Celexa were in the red zone for me and so I (we)...
It's really awful. I sleep with a towel at the foot of the bed and end up changing all my wet clothes during the night and then sleeping on the towel. Then sometimes I sweat all over again. It's...
I switched from 25 mg of Celexa to 100 mg of Zoloft. The Zoloft seems to be better for my anxiety, mood, and sex drive, so I am happy on it. The problem is that I'm getting terrible night sweats...
They had increased the dosage of the Celexa in the past, and the increase caused night sweats that lasted for months and never seemed to go away. The doctor decreased it, and the night sweats ceased....
I can, and may, or I may just go back to getting my medications prescribed by my GP. I just seem to remember having more of an overall sense of calm & steadiness when I was on the Zoloft. I just...
P-doc. Though, to be honest, I felt like my GP was listening to me better than my psychiatrist....
For several years I took Zoloft for anxiety, and then got off of it for a few months, only to decide to see a new doctor and look for a different medication (I hated how hard the come-down was on...
No. I didn't request rectal meds. I would prefer not to take rectal meds if I don't have to. I don't typically "request" any prescriptions from my doctor....
I take the Metamucil in the morning. It's an orange powder. I'm not sure what the other kinds are. No mention of rectal meds....
Thanks for all of your replies and sorry for the delay! They squeezed me in to see another doctor who put me on Metamucil daily & Gaviscon. He also had me do bloodwork because he wanted to check my...
Thanks. I did put in a call to him but he's on vacation until Monday. Hopefully he gets back to me then....
I've been in remission from my UC for several years now and in the past couple months I've noticed a change in my BMs. I used to go twice a day and now I'm only going once every 3 days, and it's...
Thank you! Yes, I'm already taking 40 mg of Celexa but due to it making me "blah" and unmotivated and having a lowered sex drive she felt that adding the Wellbutrin would benefit me. The Celexa has...
Does anyone have any experience with taking Wellbutrin with Celexa? I'd like to hear more about this. Especially whether it was helpful...
I got on Celexa several months ago and it greatly helped my depression and anxiety. Unfortunately my sex drive has taken a complete nose dive, which I understand is common. I'm young, and engaged,...
Will do! I'm super paranoid about such things! Thanks for the reminder!...
Thanks! I'll switch to saline spray and give the Neti a break, and I'll try out some Zyrtec. I'm at my wits' end... I just want to feel better! But I'm also going out of the country next month so I'm...
Ok, maybe I'll try out the saline instead. Also, @kazbern, what (if any) are the side effects of the Zyrtec? Did you have any problems with sleep? (I'm a bad sleeper - so I try to stay away from...
So for the past couple of weeks I've been fighting a cold that seems to be slipping into a sinus infection. I live in Louisiana where the weather changes basically every day at this time of year so...
Oh, well the only prep they want me to do is 2 enemas 2 hours before the scope. So the prep doesn't really bother me so much. If it was the full day bowel prep that would be a different story......
So a little over a week ago I was having some flare symptoms. Cramping, frequent bathroom trips, some diarrhea, and some mucus. I had a lot of pain in my left side too. So last week I went in to see...
Hello all - My new psychiatrist just put me on Celexa for generalized anxiety disorder. I'm only on day 3, and I know that everyone's experience is different with medications, but I'm really looking...
My doctor just put me on Celexa. I had tried Viibryd and I was having memory loss issues. Is anyone on Celexa? What should I expect?...
Thanks for all the replies. I called my GI and I'm waiting for him to return my call. I haven't had any constipation... although today I haven't used the bathroom yet. Just having pains - though they...
Has anyone had a flare up that just started with pain and maybe just a few extra bowel movements earlier in the day? For the past couple of days I've had some pain and cramping in my left side and...
I took Humira for a little over 2 years. It was the only thing that got me out of my flare in 2012. The best advice is to 1.) take it easy. You'll probably feel like you've got the flu the day after....
The Zoloft just never really did much but it did make me feel numb. I never got really happy, nor did I get really sad either. And my sex drive was non-existent. I just didn't like it, so I switched...
Thanks. That's why Wellbutrin keeps being suggested to me by folks that are on it. I need motivation because the more energy I have the better I do mentally. It's just really hard to break that cycle...
Take which? The Zoloft? Or the Viibryd? I took the Zoloft for 6 years and then switched to 10 mg of Viibryd. I took the Viibryd for two months before just quitting that cold turkey. My depression...
Making yogurt is a little out of my realm of comfort, though it seems easy. Maybe I'll just be incorporating some Dannon into my grocery list. Thanks for everything!...
That's a good suggestion. I just don't want to spend a fortune, you know? Especially for something I may not need....
Thanks! Maybe I'll just make it a point to incorporate a yogurt into my daily diet instead....
Currently I am only taking Lialda. I had taken the VSL-3 for a while (many, many years ago) but quit because I didn't want to pay so much for them. I am having no problems lately, and haven't been...
I quit cold turkey. I just stopped it one day. There were entire days/evenings that were hard to remember. Some I couldn't remember at all, and that scared me. I'm 31... my memory is typically sharp....
I quit taking my Viibryd because it was giving me memory loss. Has this happened to anyone else? :confused:...
