He already told me to open up the capsule and do that, but i was thinking that dissolving it in water is an easier way to get half, or one fourth, etc. of a pill...
I'm taking Geodon, and ive been opening up the capsules and pouring half of the powder out. I'm already taking the lowest dosage pill - 20 mg. So instead of pouring half out and just hoping im taking...
It sounds like you had problems while working at the USPS, stopped working, and then those problems went away. it was probably the USPS itself that caused those problems, so why would you go back?...
Sounds like you need to go to a different doctor. Going up to 20 then back down to 10mg so quickly doesn't sound orthodox....
I agree that it is to fast a ween for you. I went from 75mg to 37.5mg, and lets just say I'm glad i didn't have a job at the time. You might want to gauge whether the withdrawal symptoms are worth is...
You should not have done this. The tetracycline could have caused you the problems. If a doctor prescribed you a medication like that, you need to finish it's course, not stop it and save the meds...
I was wondering what all your inputs are when that big question "do you take any medication" comes up. I would say no (even though i do take meds) just because of the stigma involved, and because...
Can you atleast explain what those are and what they're for so we can possibly use it?...
There is a mouthwash for people with dry mouth. I know of one called Biotene....
I think your fear of going outside is caused by the abuse you get from people who are close to you -- your family. We learn social interaction from them. It seems like what you learned is that people...
At the college i went to there were services for people who had disabilities. Note-takers, lectures e-mail to you, etc. Have you looked into it?...
im not trying to make a dark attempt at humor, but is this somehow related to anxiety and panic attacks?...
You're so young, don't forget that. Eventually you'll meet someone better... hang in there....
I think you should ponder this thoroughly......
for those with a substance abuse problem you might want to look into PRIME for life....
i went from 75 to 37.5mg without any really bad symptoms... open up the capsules to take how much or how little you need to. and if your doctor told you to "just stop them" he doesn't sound like he...
Explain more about your tapering process. You're suppose to do it very slowly, such as decreasing your dose by 37.5mg for two weeks before tapering to a lower dose. If you tape too quickly you get...
Like someone else said, I think tv shows like that set off anxiety. Even though those shows are fiction, some of it actually happens. And deep down you know that, and you're connecting yourself to it...
You shouldn't worry about being judged over the internet - you're just some text afterall! But that doesn't mean people can't give you helpful incite over the net. I don't think anyone on HW forums...
so what happens if you take something that is meant to hype you up?...
he said to take benadryl but i dont trust him completely. anyone ever been told to take benadryl?...
I posted this in the anxiety forum because that's what causes me to not sleep well. I take sleeping pills, and i sleep about 7-8 hours a night, but I don't look like I do. The area around my eyes are...
What's so bad about that information being out? And she was probably thinking good things when she told other people about you....
Alcohol will negate the antidepressant. For example, I noticed i have withdrawal symptoms from the AD if i drink heavily, as if i missed a few doses of the medication. but thats only if i drink...
Perhaps you should get a boyfriend? a/s/l? :smilewinkgrin:...
I heard someone say it made him dumb as a rock and I'm worried its doing that to me....
My doc prescribed me Geodon after a bad alcohol binge that I had. I've been on it for about 2-3 months and haven't noticed anything majorly bad so far. I read the insert that came with it, and it...
I too have a small lump on my face. It is on the right side, near my ear. It's been there ever since I was a kid. It's probably nothing but perhaps i should get it removed or checked out... I also...
I went through college and i was anxious and depressed too. I cried on my first day there because i didnt want to be there. But you know what? Probably half the people in college with you feel the...
Yes... so much so, he could be arrested for it. But why do you have to ask if it's abuse? In my opinion you should be able to see that it is abuse. And do you think it's related to you being...
You need to take baby steps to change the things you don't like in your life. Thats what i have learned in AA, its one day at a time....
I think the Geodon is a mood stabilizer. I dont have any terrible side effects from it, but I want to see what its like not being on any medications so i plan to get off that too. But I read...
What I'm doing is what he suggested. The thing is, I don't think he really cares... or knows the best way. I was thinking of asking him to prescribe me 25,g of regular effexor, not the extended...
I've been on Effexor XR for a few years and I want to stop taking it, mainly to see what it's like. I've been taking 37.5mg a day for 1 to 2 months, which was tapered down from 75mg a day. On Monday...
