Hi all. I have posted here before in the past, but my posts are few and far between, so I'll try to summarize my anxiety history. I began having panic attacks around last summer. Around November (and...
Hi! So, it's been a long time since I posted here. A (hopefully brief) background: Almost a year ago now, I started dating my best friend of several years. I had a steady job. Basically, life was...
I've been on ZOLOFT for just over a month now. General mood better but still get panic attacks. Have them when people are around. It's Friday night and boyfriend has friends over. I start to panic....
Today was technically my first day, but it was only orientation. Unpaid, getting to know where everything is. I had a bit of a dizzy spell - apparently my waffles weren't enough for breakfast - but...
Hi again! So, a brief summary of my antidepressent-taking-life: I started having panic attacks about a year ago. When I finally went to my doctor about it, she prescribed me a steadily increasing...
My Mom badgered me and called my doctor until I was forced to go and get the prescription. I am taking it very against my will. I'm not at all comfortable with it. It also causes nausea, which I'm...
I was supposed to start something, as it turns out I do/did have strep. I haven't had the 'script filled yet, because the day after I went to the clinic I felt 100x better. I no longer even have a...
I feel a lot better two days later. Very, very slight sore throat, but I'm getting my appetite back and I went out for a few drinks last night with friends. (and by drinks I mean water, because I...
I got the culture done and am waiting for results. If I don't hear back by Wednesday, the test came back negative, in which case the doctor wants me to go get bloodwork done. My throat is feeling a...
Another update: Zoloft had me up the first night I took it throwing up, and now my tonsils are swollen and I may have strep/tonsillitis. So that's good. On the upside, I haven't had any...
Welp - aches and pains got a lot worse, and then I sort of blinked and realized I should just take a hot bath. It helped immediately, and while I was in the bath I had no pain at all. Sadly, it's...
An update: I'm still slightly nauseous, and have very minor aches and pains in my back, backside, neck, upper legs. Was wondering if this is common?...
I wasn't exactly walking into walls, but I think I lost around 20lbs - and I didn't want to! It gave me terrible mood swings, too. Wish I had that compazine now, haha. Mind you, I haven't NOT felt...
Mine was around the time my life started coming together. I had a steady, reliable job with good hours, and I'd recently started going out with my best friend of several years. He's an incredibly...
Hi! So, as some of you may or may not know, I've recently been having a bad experience with Bupropion (both 100mg SR and 300mg XL) for the past couple months or so. I had most of the side effects...
I already went for a walk earlier today. It helped, right up until the moment I got home again. I am currently calm, not happy, not better, but not sobbing and writhing in agony anymore. I've tried...
I'm trying to breathe through nose and mouth and can't stop crying, everything upsets me, the pill I've been on for two months gave me maybe three good consecutive days and it's now getting bad again...
I got past the urge to hurt myself ... I always have. It just felt a lot closer this time, I guess. I physically struggled with it, I was tense, trying not to cry ... got through it, though. I was...
It's almost 3am and I'm feeling no better. This started around 6pm. I've been in bed for hours, not sleeping, my heart thumping too hard, I keep having these images of me hurting myself and it feels...
We do have some really good talks. But it's beginning to feel like it's the same really good talk whenever something happens. The problem with asking him to read something is that he's very ADHD....
Hey. So, I've been on Bupropion SR for anxiety for almost three months now. The first two months were terrible: stomach pains, trouble staying asleep, headaches, decreased appetite and nausea, etc....
Hey! So, just a bit of an update on how I'm dealing with the anxiety and how the meds are affecting me ... I still find myself feeling sad or angry over the tiniest things, but with a bit of effort...
I get the nausea and fatigue, too. Feeling it right now, actually ... this is my first medication of the kind, though, and haven't had any experience with switching meds or getting off of them. My...
Hey, welcome to the forum! (Can I say that? I only joined today myself!) Side effects of medications can be (as I've recently figured out) very hard to cope with. I thought I was having a bad...
Just had a talk with my boyfriend. Or, he had a talk with me. The look on his face when I reminded him of what he said was enough to tell me he regretted it. It was a good talk, essentially, but...
I'm glad this psychologist is promising for you! That's a great thing to hear, especially on the first day of the new year. Actually, I get basic medical, and the clinics around here are all free....
Thank you, SC, for replying. Just seeing a reply helps. My boyfriend is my favourite person. That's why, when we struggle with this, it's so hard for me to cope with potentially hurting him or him...
Bupropion SR, alternating between 200 and 300mg a day....
The antidepressants I started taking are apparently used for weight loss. Everybody I come across who's taken it before seems to be ecstatic about it - never hungry, losing weight! Well, I'm never...
I know the feeling of "I'm a burden" and "Please don't push me or I'll break." I've been feeling that ever since I started my own meds. And my life, too, actually got way better this last year - and...
Therapy would usually be an option, but I'm currently without anything but basic medical benefits. My boyfriend suggested it, but of course in order to go I'd need to be under his medical coverage,...
Hi, I'm new to the forum, and more than a little self conscious about posting, as I've never done something like this before. I've recently starting taking medication for panic attacks. It's been...
