Obviously medications work differently for different people but when I was on it I saw absolutely no difference. It was like I was taking a sugar pill. It could have been I was just on a small...
I seen IJ last weekend. Very disappointing....
Interesting post. I'm wondering if others that have similar problems with anxiety, depression also go thru the same things with their spouses? I must say that I have felt similar feelings in the past...
I'm sure it won't be easy but kudos for you for not just sticking with it. My daughter has had a boyfriend for 5 years that is a nightmare. Contstant crying because he is mean to her and they always...
I don't know much about the medication but know what you are going thru. You would think I would know more since I have been on Lexapro & Cymbalta but since they didn't really do anything I just...
Hey Blue, Been there. Being in crowds doesn't really bother me any longer but when I was in high school the cafe made me feel very awkward. I used to get there really early get my lunch then go eat...
Man, that is some Bourne Identity stuff there. Since we don't know the whole story forgive me if I say something wrong. I'm not prying but just find this interesting. If you were married to him and...
thanks. I didn't know what that was called. I think I'm probably doing it more because effexor makes me sleepy more often but I can't really get to sleep completely. I kind of like it because when I...
For a new member it sure seems like I am posting a lot so I apologize. It is just really good to hear from others that have had similar problems. As I have said before I am currently on Effexor and...
Thanks, I wish I knew what circumstance caused this fear but it is completely irrational and I know that. I just can't get it thru my head when it is actually happening. We had 4 inches of rain the...
Gramps, I'd put that tape in but the first half of that game was so ugly it wouldn't surprise me if that didn't start my anxiety problems. Thank goodness for Rex Grossman or the Colts may have blown...
I was wondering what methods people use when they start feeling anxious to calm down and keep from getting a full blown panic attack. Obviously you are supposed to take deep breaths and try to relax...
I'd say it could be but it never hurts to get a second opinion. A few years ago I went to my family Dr twice complaining of chest pains that had been happening for months. He just plain out didn't...
Crying, The way you describe the way you used to be sounds exactly like what I'm going thru now. I live in Indiana also, Evansville to be exact, and we had some pretty good storms come thru last...
Anyone else suffer from anxiety more when the weather is rainy or the weather is just bad? I have always heard people get depressed when the weather is bad but I get super anxious when it is getting...
Sorry. I didn't mean to insinuate you had OCD or lived in a pigstye. I was really speaking more about myself. I do think if I did all the things I wanted to do I'd have OCD really bad. I used to try...
Hello. I have the same problem with house cleaning with my 2 daughters. They are both 17 and their rooms are disgusting to me. I'm not quite OCD bad about having my house clean but I do like a very...
Hello all, I only found this board last week so I guess I'm a newbie. I live in Indiana, obviously from my username. I'm also fairly new to having anxiety and panic attacks. As a teenager I was...
I understand. It isn't really the inconvenience of taking meds daily as much as forever needing to rely on them. If that is what I need to do to maintain my sanity then I will definately be taking...
Thanks, I'll check out the resourses. The therapist has been doing this CBT exersize with me but I'm not too sure about it. I forget the exact name of it but it has to do with Rapid Eye Movement. For...
Thanks for the info. I agree that if the medication really does end up helping me as much as it appears to have done so far I have no problem staying on it. What I've noticed since having this...
Hello all, I have a question about medication. about 2-3 years ago I started feeling very anxious and started worrying about everything. I have never had a problem with this in my life. I decided to...
