Hello D, Sorry you woke up not feeling well. I'm still taking prozac(since April 2) and I think it has helped a lot. I might talk to my doctor to see if she thinks I need to up my dose though. I...
Sorry that it didn't work for you. Maybe the lexapro will. I haven't noticed that the prozac is doing anything yet and the pharmacist, my doctor and a friend of mine said it would start to help...
I don't like the idea of being on meds either. I mean I take xanax and that helps me but that's an 'as needed' drug. This new med, Prozac, I won't be able to just stop taking if I want to and that...
Thanks so much for the support, it means a lot! I will check out those links. I have felt pretty miserable. Not any bad nausea but I feel really depressed, like a zombie. The pharmacist said my body...
I'm currently on a new medication and waiting for it to start working, if it does. My doctor said I should notice in a couple weeks and to check back with her in 2-4 weeks and seeing how I only have...
I just started Prozac a week ago. I wondered if anyone has used this and when/if it helped and what it felt like. I hope this med helps. I've tried anti-depressants before but never took them long...
Well, I've been taking Prozac for a week now. I've been taking my anti-nausea meds with them so I have to wean off those. I just wondered when it would start to work. I know it's different for...
Well, 2 days down on my meds. Unfortunately, yesterday was a little uncomfortable for me. I got a little nauseated around lunchtime and couldn't eat, then I got nauseated again at night after my...
Well, I did take my first dose yesterday(Prozac). I didn't have any problems but I did take 2 anti-nausea pills with it, so I will have to wean myself off from those. I do hope this helps me. I've...
I too just started on Prozac yesterday. I've just been miserable lately, stomach bothering me, severe anxiety and depression, not knowing which thing is causing the other. I will always have to be on...
Thanks for the support. I know I need to try. I'm afraid though if I don't feel well, I won't continue with it. I just want to get better though....
Well, I managed to get to my doctor this morning and she recommended a low dose of prozac. She said I may not even have any nausea from it, that many people don't. But I'm freaking out. i thought...
Thank you Scaredy Cat! The support means a lot. I think the self-help route would be beneficial for me, if I am willing to put forth the effort. I know it's all about my thinking. I will get all my...
I'm at one of the lowest points in my life right now. My anxiety is at it's worst, panic, agoraphobia, depression, nausea which I'm not sure if it's caused from anxiety or possibly acid reflux. The...
Sometimes when I've had trouble driving places I 'practice' driving there on my own relaxed time. Driving an hour away just for no reason may seem unreasonable. But for me, if it meant desensitizing...
@ Tinlou I am 36 now and have been suffering with this for about 5-6 years now. I am taking prilosec everyday. I'm wondering if the nausea is caused by a weakened LES. That's the only thing I can...
I love coffee too. I miss the days of going to a coffee shop-haven't done that in years. Just yesterday I got really nauseous, thought I was going to be sick several times and the only thing I can...
I get very jealous too of what others are able to enjoy. I can't not want those things too. Going out to eat without the fear of an upset stomach or nausea(thus leading to panic), having drinks with...
It's giving up a lifestyle that you were use to and that even brought you joy. The simple things like going to a friend's house for dinner, going out for drinks with friends, my morning coffee-a time...
I read some posts about people who have GERD or acid reflux and it's linked to their anxiety. Their anxiety makes their acid reflux worse. Let me explain my situation a little and if anyone can...
Keep searching, there will be people, mabye only 1 or 2 , that will understand and be supportive....
Oh my goodness, do I know how you feel!!! I was diagnosed with acid reflux(mild) when I had my EGD. I thought, well at least it's mild, nothing to worry about like an ulcer. But the problem is it...
Thanks, just have no one to talk to right now. Looked on my city's websight and there is an ordinance about dogs barking and howling. Don't want to be petty but may call about it. Need to remind...
Venting...more irritation than anxiety I guess....I'm waiting for a friend to stop by to pick something up. I've tried getting a hold of her a few times to find out what time, no response. I decided...
Welcome missmomma and thanks for posting. Can I ask you, though, what caused you to be stuck on the couch for a year? I only ask cause I can relate. I was too for a while. Just stuck on the couch...
Ok, well I did get up and 'DO' something. But I also took some anxiety meds too but I think getting up and doing something helped even more and a little quicker. I thought of going through my workout...
I want to vent again!! I'm sitting here on my couch, on the computer and I all of a sudden start to feel a ton of anxiety, panic and nausea. Why??? I'm safe at home. What's triggering a panic attack...
So it sounds like you desperately want to stay in the relationship and he doesn't think it's a good idea to have a long distant relationship. You can't make him do something he doesn't want to do....
If you don't mind me asking a personal question.... Did you guys break up over the argument? Don't have to answer if you don't want to. You are NOT crazy!! If you were, then the rest of us would be...
Well, I posted in another thread about my dilema of taking a break from my job or not. Well, I finally talked to my cleaning job just now and I told her what was going on. I just felt it was the...
Thanks for your feedback. S.C., I will try that deep breathing and see how it goes. I guess I feel so lazy about it, because to me it feels like using the same effort as say working out or...
Yea, I think for my husband, the only fear he might have would be if I died-that would be something I'd have to get him thinking about. If he stepped outside and saw I was suffering or was being...
I know everything I've read and everyone says to do deep breathing on a regular basis, everyday and during anxiety and panic. I find it difficult to keep up this habit so I haven't experienced any...
This forum has been helping me too. I have talked to my husband and a few people who are close to me about my anxieties getting worse. And they are being supportive but I know they can't completely...
I totally see myself in your words. I've been having anxiety for a few years-I think because of some things that happened with family-stress. But I have been able to function just fine-enough for me...
Yes I think it's good to be questioning it. I don't know much about klonopin but think it's a benzo like xanax, which I am on. I have taken xanax then had some beer but I was never a designated...
The last time I got better from my panic attacks, I was put on xanax which helped to relieve some of my symptoms so that I could get back out in the world again. I remember that time...it was kind of...
Are you emetophobic?...
Yes, I would rather deal with my anxiety than to have that type of disease. Scary! I too have been hit hard lately with anxiety and panic attacks. They've been gradually getting worse I've noticed so...
I can totally understand. It's so hard for some people(guys, specifically husbands) to understand anxiety unless they have it themselves. Anxiety is an emotional illness. Although it's very physical,...
I know I'm totally "What-ifing" and telling the future. But....I'm already freaking out about having a severe panic attack. We have our car up for sale and someone's interested in it. So if he wants...
Yes, it is snowing here too. We've had some nice weather but just had a snow storm today so i didn't make it out for a walk. I think walking will be my thing, as I love being outside without having...
I am 36 years old. My sleep seems ok. Have had better sleep in the past. I usually get around 9 hours a night, as I don't have to get up in the morning except 1 morning a week to go to my cleaning...
Yea, going for walks is so good for me. I've been trying to get out more and do it as the weather hasn't been too bad, except for today. I love walking and sometimes feel so peaceful I don't want to...
Duh, the video was right here on this site!! It's called psycho motor retardation where the brain doesn't have enough neurotransmitter to organize normal movement. This is important to me to find...
I am feeling so depressed today. We had a snow storm so everyone is held up inside today. I haven't gotten any emails from my friends today. I have spent a bunch of my time on the anxiety and...
Kitt, what if you invited a friend over also to help you with your granddaughter? Is that a possibility? Or make a play date for her somewhere during that time. The GOOD side of what-if thinking is...
That is so true what you said...when I was having my last panic attack I was telling myself the whole time, "make it through this and get home and I will never put you through this again, you can...
As I was reading through all of these, I could identify with everyone's experience. It's hard to put into words exactly what you're feeling. Well, I hope one day soon I can post on here how I...
That's a good way to explain it to people. Last night I was trying to talk to my husband about how I was feeling. He knows I get panic attacks but he doesn't realize that sometimes you can only have...
