Personally I like the Clonazepam b/c it is longer lasting than some other benzos. I didnt have any bad effects from it The depressed feelings you have now might be just initial side effects of the...
I take wellbutrin and just started to take Buspar to help get off the ativan since it is an anti anxiety med but not a benzo. Yeah I have not had the best of luck with DRs. I am making an appointment...
Usually I get myself all worked up over nothing- get those bad feelings in my stomach, get anxiety, etc and USUALLY I almost always am overreacting. Do you commonly question things before you do...
ugh... too bad the ravens didnt win. I am a huge ravens fan. At least the Steeler fans got to see a good game! Hope you are over your cold....
Hey there I know for one that when I stay out until 4, 5, 6 am (probably out drinking) I feel horrible the next day or even a few hours later when I am home. It is funny what a lack of sleep does to...
So I guess the Paxil is working then!!!!! Have you had any side effects with it? I heard it kills your sexdrive so I went onto wellbutrin. What is cbt?...
Thanks Karen. Glad to know you got off of it! My dr is really of no help so I am thinking a switch needs to be made....
Wow usually DRs are pretty good about getting samples for patients in need. I remember my plan wouldnt cover a certain med a few years back but my DR gave me 4 months of samples. That is all i...
Hey thanks Frances. I just hate feeling like this. Like I cant help anything that happens- just annoying since I like to be in control. Hmmm hidden illness... yeah its probably about time for a...
I take ativan which is a shorter acting drug than Clonazepam and the DR always said drinks in moderation are just fine. 1 or 2 on the weekends is good. The main reason why alcohol is not advised...
So I have been on ativan for about 3.5 years now. When I started I only took 1 mg per day; right now I have tapered down to .5 mg per day but still feel awful after about 3 weeks on that dose. When I...
Hey Sam- It has been a while!! I am glad that you got something to make you feel better. I hope that I can find the same relief that you did. Thanks for your input and I hope your remission of 2+...
A lot of the time they use wheat in the soy sauce! Crazy huh... Most tamarai sauce is GF but there is a ton of soy sauce that is not gluten free. PF Changs uses two different soy sauces one that has...
...
Yup yup that is a good one to go to. I just didnt think we could post links to other forums... could be wrong tho!...
When I did the Fleet crap I used Gingerale and now wont drink it again because of the taste reminder! Different strokes for different folks....
yeah all probiotics cause gas at first whether you are intollerant to gluten or not. Its just the nature of them- it should subside soon though. If not maybe you just need a different strain....
Either a corn tortilla or a brown rice wrap.... You can also make brown rice chips out of the wraps so that you can use it more like a chip for the tuna or egg salad. Trust me I know how hard cutting...
only real problem i had was with cheese crackers and bagel, That might indicate that while you are in a flare you are sensative to gluten and dairy products. That is the case with a lot of people....
Man I used Fleet phosophosoda the first time and that was hell in a handbasket. It was only 8 oz but it was nasty nasty nasty. You could mention to the DR that you would feel more comfortable with...
Possible it is a mixture of the meds and you being exhausted from battling the disease. Asacol made me really tired and that could be part of the reason. Try and set aside some time each week to...
The only side effect I got was when my body was ridding itself of gluten. You will kinda go thru a carb withdrawal but should be over in a week. I dont really like many of the processed gluten free...
Hey Peety How long have you been on your diet? How did you find out about your intollerances? How spread throughout your colon was the UC/inflammation before this most recent cscope? I think...
I was tested negative for celiac as well but come to find out I cant eat gluten. Sometimes it just doesnt show up on the tests and I know that is really really annoying. I kept a food diary and it...
If you are interested in this you are welcome to email me. I have cut out all gluten dairy and wheat from my diet. It is tough but now that I have been on it for 2 years we have some great receipes...
I would agree. I take Enzymedica DIGEST enzymes... they have Digest Gold as well- jsut a more potent form. I would say that it helps me. In general does dairy upset your stomach? If so then try...
I would agree 100% to keep a food diary. My mom kept telling me I should be doing that and it wasnt until then that I figured out that wheat, gluten and diary were really kicking my butt. My...
So my PCP wants me to get off of wellbutrin and ativan because he says that it is only putting a bandaide over the wound and not healing it. So naturally his first step was the SSRIs. I tried Paxil...
Yes thanks for the positive post. I am thinking about starting Lexapro, Celexa or Buspar... Paxil and Zoloft havent worked well (plus I have bouts of Diarrhea anyways and dont need the increased...
UC, Crohns, Microscopic colits and most other inflammatory diseases are intensified and sometimes seem worse when you are depressed and have anxiety all the time. Usually I find that I flare when I...
*BUMP* Anyone have experience with Zoloft, Paxil or any other SSRI? They can cause colitis in up to 20% of patients. Just seeing what other people have experienced. I dont need another flare. thanks!...
Hey Potato This is how my DR explained it to me--- prob not very techincal Inflammation usually causes the ulcers which cause the bleeding. then when you are healing and the ulcers scab over- the...
Odd everything is normal thru the tests but obviously it is not. Sorry to get descript ive (you dont have to answer) but is the blood more bright red or is it a darker more maroon color? Bright red...
Hey Carol Good to hear from you!! We are actually in Flagstaff (about 25 miles north of Sedona, about 2 hours north of PHX, 1.5 hours from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and 4 hours from...
Hey guys Boy have I been busy as of late! We are right in the middle of our year end audit and we are all working very hard. My baseball season finished yesterday and our team fiished the season on a...
hey Closure Are you having blood in your bowel movements? If you arent then it probably isnt ulcerative colitis but could be chrons or celiac. There was a time when the DR thought I had ulcerative...
What side effects did you guys get from the Zoloft. I am starting it in a few days and would like a little heads up. Dont mind the weight gain (would love to get back to 150 lbs). An increase of...
Going good: I play on an adult baseball team and we finished the season (yesterday) on a 5 game win streak and ened up with an 8-8 record. Considering last year we won only one game and lost 15- this...
What do you mean by eating clean? I dont really eat too many foods that are bad for me mainly because they upset my stomach. usually eat chicken, turkey, ground buffalo, salmon, and other low grease...
Is there anything natural (like vitamins or supplements) that help fight the withdrawal of ativan? Currently down to .25 mg x 2 per day and been at that dose for about 1.5 weeks. I am have not gotten...
only thing I can think of is that the milk is processed differently/less than the sour cream, yogurt etc- plus they usually have good bacteria in them... but that is strange....
The SCD works for some while another form of a modified diet works for others. I totally cut out gluten and dairy from my diet and I doubt I will go back to those foods because i feel tons better....
I am pretty sure it is just the Paxil I am supposed to be switching to while phasing the rest of the out...
Our puppy is named Rocco- but i call him Punko now because he has such an attitude!...

I would kill to gain some weight!!! send it my way!! I had a real bad time about 3 years ago last semster of college. Got real sick- probably over stress and worry and lost 35 lbs. I have gained back...
Sometimes going on this site makes me feel worse or makes me worry more. Not saying at all to not go to these sites- but maybe go into it with a different mindset. I always used to read posts and say...
Thanks for the reply badgenetics. What SSRI did you start on? Yeah I am going thru the tapering too fast right now becuase i only have those limitted pills... blech I think I will make an apt soon to...
generic form is a joke- made me feel horrible ...
