I too wish I could do more for the homeless too. I like helping at the Suncoast Haven of Rest Rescue Mission , it fits my ideal of an organization that gives 100% back that they take in the name of...
Hi Dysthymia! I'm glade your doing so well. I was thinking of you ... been looking for new music to annoy my neighbors with at high volume. Been listening to Pain and Paradise Lost ... dark and moody...
Hi Mary, It sure is hard this time of the year. I try to count my blessings and I'm thank for each. I like the lights at night, I see them when I come home from the Mission on the Bus ... There two...
Well, time for an update ... Lets see having been diagnosed slightly nuts, I made it into Category 1 on the Vocational Rehab waiting list. Ok must be more than slightly nuts because they didn't even...
I need some peace and quiet in my head, got some work to do today for my buddy. Hope everyone gets a little peace and quiet in the noggin....
No answers here Mary. I'm sorry you had a bad day Mary. I'll be thinking of you today, Buddha...
I could go some Guns n Roses ... good idea....

Thanks Percycat, not how I missed your post ... I'll be going up to the mission soon. Holiday's the buses don't allow me to get there and back with any certainty. Anyway, I looked up the schizo...
Personally, I'm going to try sleeping through this holiday season. Merry Christmas ... wake me when it's over. Hugs, Buddha...
Thanks Mary....

Hi LazyTiff, Welcome to HW. If you're in the US you can probably get a medical assistance through your county health department. However, they may not be able to prescribe Klonopin, basically you...
Hi Happiness, I use to have 6 to 12 BM a day for 4 to 5 years. It's only recently that changed to once or twice a day. I'm not sure what it was ... IBS, CD or UC ... but it's in remission. I'm pretty...
Good luck Meg!...
I can certainly understand the stress of alcoholic parents, mine sound a lot like yours though my father also had PTSD from 20 years of combat in the Marines. I don't know if there's any thing you...
Hard to do anything when the doctors wont listen to you. I had a Durable Power of Attorney (got anything like that in Scotland?) which meant they listened to me or I got her a new doctor. I did that...
Alcohol and hypertension medications don't go together. Usually alcohol will further reduce a person blood pressure causing hypotension - low blood pressure. Alcohol will increase the side effects...
Check her medications -- number of prescription, number of doctors and Google for side effects (and possibility of addiction too). My mother, who had kidney failure, had four prescriptions, all from...
Everyday seems to be a struggle anymore Mary, Kitt, Lyn, Percycat, Meg, Dysthymia, JustBreath and so many others ... you keep me here -- you keep me alive. Sometimes the only reason I have to get out...
Hi Kitt and Percycat, First, who's getting any sleep!? I still can't take those Hydroxyzine PAM to put me to sleep. 300mg and the best they can do is make me drowsy nine hours later. That much should...
Certainly. It seems no one asked, are you in a safe place now? That is the first step, as far as I'm concerned, to recovery. Take care, Buddha...
Another day of community service, oh joy! Just about recovered from the last one. Still got a knot in my right arm, actually can see it there. I have no idea how I'm going to get to the doctor on...
The occurrence of side effects do go up as the Paxil dosage is increased. However, for anxiety disorder there's only three adverse events that show a relation between dosage and occurrence: asthenia,...
Many police departments these days have a identity theft officer now. Your bank will certainly have someone you can talk to able this incident. Buddha...
Hi P-Fit, Your weekend sucked!! I'm sorry to have break it to you like that. You just lived my worse nightmare. I am glade you made it home alive. Sorry they screwed up your clonazepam schedule. Hang...
Hi Feelgood, Not many drugs that don't have side effects of some kind even aspirin isn't perfect. However, if your healthy with a good liver and good kidneys the chances of most adverse reactions are...
Hi Maz, sorry you didn't make it into the clinical trail. Don't let it get you down. Did you find the clinical trail on Craigslist? I've see a number of different one on there just in the Tampa Bay...
Hard day yesterday working in the Rescue Mission's kitchen. I helped feed more than 120 people, probably the only thing that kept me going. Met a red headed Irishman at the Mission, yesterday was the...
Hi Kitt, Standing still and going forward both cause me pain. Too much typing or writing will cause pain. Yes even sitting can be a problem. It started about ten years ago when I fell down the stairs...
I've had some serious adverse reactions to the medications I've been given. However, I don't see how a medicine can be "evil" in any way. Only thing I want to avoid is the doctors that don't listen....
Still alive. First thing I did this morning was take out the trash from the kitchen. As I was going out I started having chest pain. Got the trash in the dumpster and I couldn't breath. I was scared....
Good morning Meg, I think I'll make it to the Mission today. Woke up a little dizzy but it passed quickly. Pizza rolls ... can't afford them till the food stamps come on the 11th. Hopefully. I'm...
Hi Mary, Vision problem was probably the Micardis along with the dizziness. The shaking? Not sure, it seems to becoming a problem, it's happening rather randomly. I just start shaking, it's not...
Hi Kitt, I didn't make it to the Mission, woke up with my heart going nuts, dizzy and blurred vision. The cat kept shaking the bed and it felt like the whole world was spinning. Still not feeling...
Kind of tired of the pain. Can't figure out why I do it anymore? Is eating really worth this kind of torture? I'm not really that fond of tuna fish sandwiches....
My counselor was by today. I'm really not feeling to well. Usually when I'm going through something panic attack or flashback, I don't stop afterwards and analyze it. Of course counselors seem to...
Hi, Onelove, if your suffering an adverse reaction to your med, contact your doctor they can switch you to something else, lower your dose, recommend a better schedule for taking the med ... all...
Well got Micardis today, started it tonight. I found one study that said Micardis can have a 6 fold increase in half-life in moderately hepatic impaired subjects. Not that my hepatic impairment has...
Actually the electricity is fine this month but next I'll have to cut it because I can't pay for it anymore. Same with water and phone. Next month I dance in the dark....
Good Morning Onelove, I'm afraid you've come to a amateur when it comes to feeling good. However, I've had sometime to consider the problem. The trick to get out of the black hole seems to be to find...
Arrrrrg!!!...
I really hate this not being able to sleep thing. I figure I have another 2 weeks maybe till my system is back to normal. Of course, I see the doctor/nurse tomorrow so I'll be on some more meds that...
Hi Paulos, nice to see you back. Sorry you have people changing things on you. Best wishes, Buddha...
Hi Onelove, It's doesn't really matter what you call it. PTSD can hit you months or even years later. Depression well that's a pit just waiting for anyone to stumble into it. Could be something else...
Well it was a mental status exam. Don't know if you can flunk one but I'm thinking I just might have. I'm going back to bed, should've never got up in the first place....
Hi Mary, nice to see you again. I'm still trying to figure out why to climb out of the pit. I'll keep your line steady while you climb out though. Nobody belongs in the pit especially you. :smile: Hi...
Demon just woke me up with a racket. A dog wondered into his territory and he just chased it off whimpering. He really is a little demon. Still not getting much sleep. Fever. Shakes. And the pit...
I take it back, there are somethings that are in focus ... just wish they weren't....
