I'm here, got the day off work after a crap-tacular yesterday....anyhow, three positive words about me. 1. Good-hearted 2. Loyal 3. Kind ...
Thanks a lot for the encouraging words Kitt, they just about made my lip quiver. /community/emoticons/blush.gif I would have acted quicker with the Klonopin but I really didn't know what was...
Well, not long after I posted about my wife's surgery going well yesterday while I was at work, I started feeling dizzy & almost faint while standing for any longer than 30-45 seconds at a time,...
Thanks to all of you for your kind words, the surgery went as planned with no complications, my wife is now in quite a bit of pain, especially from the gas they "inflate" you with during the surgery...
I've drank to get drunk a couple times since my diagnosis(GAD & Panic) and on both occasions it did " help " if you want to put it the way for a couple/few hours but my anxiety level was much higher...
My wife is having surgery tomorrow to have her gall bladder removed, we are both nervous about it( I'm trying to hide it & be strong but that's hard ) and would appreciate any...
Best of luck to you and if you are able try and see if the therapist can see you sooner, don't be afraid to let them know it's an emergency and you need help....if they still can't see you for a few...
I took the survey, hope it helps you....
How about television?, what are some of your favorite all time shows. My [u]Top 8 would have to be([i]in no particular order ): Seinfeld Sanford & Son The Andy Griffith Show South Park LOST One...
Thanks to board-member [i]unhappy32 , I've had to edit to/add to list. My memory is getting worse by the day I believe. [img]/community/emoticons/blush.gif [2] [/i]...
Thanks for the info, I must be in the 'chemical imbalance' crowd to some degree because at least 75% of the time, I have no idea what's the reason for my anxiety/panic & that really SUCKS....
I am truly very sorry you are in such a 'rut' at the moment and all the positive words you may or may not see on the screen may or may not help but I'm sure you know that. Take comfort in this...
I LOVE MOVIES, they help me 'get away' sometimes. I used to probably watch 8-10 a week, either in the theater or on DVD/VHS. That was abruptly cut about in half(or less) when my son was born a year...
I am very sorry for your fear Sasha, I think the best thing(s) you can do are, try to think positive(as hard as that can be), do not let 'the negative' in, and make sure you talk over your anxiety...
Three Little Birds by Bob Marley , best song ever and puts me in a little better mood no matter how cruddy I might be feeling. Also really like Johnny Cash, Eminem & some Kid Rock.....kinda all...
I am very happy for you, it's amazing what the right medication or med-combination can do to improve the quality of your life....
All I can really say is Best of Luck & please try hard to give the medicine time to 'get into your system', which usually takes around 10 days and let it work. Now, with that said, you & your...
Thanks for the input, and yes I'm aware that it's basically the same med as Paxil, Paxil CR, paroxetine(generic)....sorry it didn't work for you but I'm sure you found something that helped, may I...
Well, I got through the horrible Cymbalta titration/withdrawal 'experiment' and it seems to me & my doctor and my therapist that I truly do 'need something', I have a sister & an Aunt both...
Thanks for the support Kitt, I really appreciate it....I think my system is slowyl adjusting but I also think my body is still kinda in ' shock mode ' like where the hell is the Lexapro, Zoloft,...
James, I just submitted a post and even though I read through yours, I totally missed you saying about[b] the extreme irritability and anger. Do you get angry about nothing at all? I posted asking...
Day 10 Thanks for the positive re-inforcement Kitt, I'll keep pressing on & I'll also look into those Vitamin B supplements you mentioned....
I second-guess most people as well, and it seems the 'smarter' they're supposed to be the more I do it....strange, huh. Anyway, I never thought about what you said but the additional co-pay in...
Thanks a lot, especially the eye advice....I'm due for a yearly check-up anyhow. The reason for coming off the Cymbalta was that I was prescribed it for a severe bout of depression I had about 1 1/2...
/\ What they said. /community/emoticons/yeah.gif I know it's easier said than done but really try writing down any & all questions you might have between now and then and that way you can get a...
I understand what you are saying but I was able to work about an hour after I had the 'feeling' and was here alone with my only option being to call an ambulance to carry me about 2 miles. If I...
Well I was [b]sitting here (thank goodness) at work on this very same PC using the phone right next to me and all of a sudden I felt like my glasses were drawing closer to my face then I saw a couple...
Well I'm still here , Day 7 with ZERO Cymbalta....my physical side affects have slowly gotten a little better but now I have extreme irritability, and just plain old anger that seems to be built up...
...
Thanks for words Kitt, hopefully it will [i][u]only last 2 weeks, I don't know if I could put up with it for much longer & I'm also having to constantly remind myself the reason I'm feeling...
[u]3rd day completely off Cymbalta Well, I've been up about[b] 2 1/2 hours now and I feel like crap again....so far I might feel 5-10% better than I did yesterday but still pretty crappy. God, it's...
Thanks, I may consider going into counting the beads and putting them in my own little empty capsules but I [u]hope [/b] tomorrow is better....
I pretty much get the exact same thing(s) plus a little feeling of 'impending doom', and if I feel ' it ' happening I can usually do the same as yourself and pop a couple Clonazepam 0.5's and hit...
I'm sorry you're suffering....God knows Panic is awful, I've been dealing with it for years. IMO the best way to deal with it is to find a good psychiatrist/psychologist & therapist ASAP....tell...
Thanks for the suggestion(s), unfortunately the med only comes in 20, 30, 60, and 90 mg [u]capsules which makes it hard to get the other doses you suggested unless you actually break [b] open the...
I'm in my second day without any Cymbalta in my 'Cymbalta titration'. I was on 60mg for about 18 months and it felt like it had stopped working basically so I got put on 90mg daily, well it was okay...
Hello everyone, I'm a 35 year old married male with a 10 month male. I've been suffering with Panic/Anxiety disorders for about 6 years & am in the middle of trying to stop Cymbalta which has...
