Although Rx effects everyone differently, I can tell you by experience that Zoloft didn't make me feel any different from myself. That is the reason I stopped the Zoloft and stuck with Klonopin - I...
Stress test was today. Nurse Pract that administered the test said that I did very well and have no limitations, but my lungs burn!!!! I haven't ran like that in a while! We'll see if this REAL MAN...
I figured that 20mg was max daily. So I guess that I am on a pretty low dose. I always thought that clonazepam was a maintenance drug. I know someone who takes it on an "as needed" basis. I was never...
I know what you mean Scaredy. I was referred to a cardiologist because an ECG found that a heart defect that I was born with(VSD) never healed like it was believed to have done. No heart attacks or...
Thanks Scaredy. I wonder why I am getting new anxiety symptoms all of a sudden? Ugh! I will let you know what they say. Anything that can help others. I'm pretty sure that I should have no issue with...
Thanks for that info Chris. I never knew that the max dose was as high as 20mg. Back when I started taking it I was 21(don't do the math!!)and the Psych told me to be careful my booze intake(at 21...
I figured that I'd start another post for this question becasue it really has nothing to do with my other posts. I've been taking clonazepam since 1988 daily. For as long as I can remember my dose...
I agree. Thanks! I just read my post again and I left out one of the more imortant, if not the most important, "symptoms" that I've been having since the cardio visit. I've been experiencing constant...
this also looks interesting. http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Depression-Anxiety-Apryl-Ryder/dp/B003U2KEM4 ...
It would be wonderful if there were Cliff notes for these, but next time I'm at the book store I will look for these. Maybe I'll try this as well. http://www.yogajournal.com/for_teachers/2390 ...
Thanks for the info! 300 pgs!! I hope they keep my interest!!...
Correct you are, Scaredy! I do and have always seen things as Black or White! I feel this is a trait that I will always live with. I'm never comfy with grey areas. It probably won't hurt to learn...
Hello all, After my last personal post I was starting to do better with panic/anxiety attacks and feel better in general. I feel that most of the help was by learning to pay attention to my...
P.S. Also, I understand what you mean about being sick of feeling bad. It is as though I forgot what feeling 'normal' is like....
Chris, I pretty much share the exact traits that you have. I pay way too much attention to how I feel and every little ache, twitch or pain is an 'emergency' in my mind. I often try to remind myself...
Ruhr said... The deal with these benzos is that if you keep taking them regularly, over time you may build a tolerance to them and need more or increased dosage.This could be why I am having a harder...
And here I thought, as I typed in a previous post, that I knew what I was doing when it came to breathing until I watched the breathing excercise vid in the resources. I've always taken my deep...
Your right, totally different. Mine is always(I think)about me worrying that something is wrong with me over every little twitch in my body. I guess I pay too much attention to how I am feeling at...
Hey Ruhr, You are correct. It is sad that you get all these tests hoping that the doctor will find the root of the issue and you are disappointed to hear that you are physically fine and fit! To most...
I've lived with anxiety/panic attacks for almost 30yrs and am still here to talk about it. Dangerous, no. BUT, sometimes you really do feel as though you are on your way out. I'm still learning to...
Thanks S.C. will do on the PGR. As far as breathing. It seems like I am always paying attention to my breathing to mack sure that I am not hyperventilating. The feeling that I have is more like that...
Flongo, Is your constant feeling simular to my last post in my thread "New member intro"? The way that I dexribed it was a bit different, but the feeling has been with me since the 80's....
Thanks Kit and S.C. I did check out the resources. There is tons of info there!! Too bad that I'm at work at the moment and can't get too deep into all of the info! You nailed it S.C. My anxiety is...
And Hi to you too, Hibee. Actually I have never heard of CBT or Mindfulness. I did try hypnoses in the 80's. Didn't work! The thing with me is that when I start to feel crummy, I am done for the day....
Hi Scaredy Cat and thanks for the welcome! Unfortunately, the prescribing doc is retired now. I will take a look at the Resource section for sure. Med "poop out"? Meaning my dose is inadequate or...
Isn't this the same as L-Glutamine? It is an amino acid? I take it for weight training recovery. Never knew it was also used for anxiety/panic. Good to know!...
Hello all! I just sign up on this forum last night. I too have been battling anxiety/panic since the 80's. Been taking meds, with great luck, since '88. BUT, it seems that things for me over the last...
