My wife's sister is dying in the ICU. We were told that it would happen two weeks ago and in spite of removing life support systems she is still lingering. She has been sick a long time but is has...
Every night without fail I wake up between 2:00 and 3:00 am and the anxiety symptoms start to build. From the start they are so severe I can not get back to sleep. Then over the next 3 or 4 hours...
I just took an antidepressant for three days and felt so wretched the doctor told me to stop. It is now 5 days after stopping and my anxiety is way worse than before taking it. I suspect it tweaked...
I don't actually vomit but I get so sick it can put me into bed for days. James...
I tried my last resort - medications and I felt worse than ever so know I have to try a different approach. It seems like those who are recovering are doing it by taking the fear out of the...
It is not uncommon for a patient to have sensitized nerves after a surgery, partially from the medications and also the stress. Unfortunate that you were not given support and education to calm you...
Thanks for the FYI barely computer literate James...

[sup]After over three years of anxiety hell that has brought me to near 100% disability I gave up and agreed to take Doxepin and old but well regarded antidepressant. It is supposed to have an...
[sup]My doctor suggested I take magnesium supplements to help the anxiety. I did tons of research on it and it all looked perfect. Now I seem to be much worse. I am jittering and having more weird...

It is easy to like all the benzos until they stop working and you have to get off - it was worse than my original anxiety...
Since the most current understanding of anxiety and sensitized nerves is around cognitive issues I was wondering how much relief you have had by working a comprehensive program of affirmations and...
[sup]The last psychiatrist I saw was also a neurologist. He said that peripheral neuropathies don't move around like my burning does. Mine can also totally stop for hours and occurs inside my head,...
I have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder by at least 10 professionals over the years. Once I got off benzos it took me 3 years to recover and then all the symptms and burning stopped and have...
This is the same burning I had coming off benzos 21 years ago- neuropathy occurs in isolated areas, mine moves all the time and ebbs and rises. I habe been to many doctors and misdiagnosed about as...
I count as personal friends 3 clinical psychologists and a psychiatrist - all old college friends - none have been any help James...
Over three years ago I was chronically tired and pushing myself when I had a major medical dignosis that proved not to be true. It scared the heck out of me and I went into some type of nervous...
