I had tried to avoid ssris for a year and finally gave in as my life was not what I wanted. I suffered daily with panic and anxiety. My dr started me on 25 zoloft and increased to 50 after a week and...
I agree with Deasin that this may be post partum related and warrants a visit/call to your OB. I also use ice coffee for a pick me up and understand craving for it. Did you ever try half calf? It...
did anyone think some of your symptoms could be due to vicodin withdrawal? still cbt and mindfullness and meditation can help you through the symptoms...
You are right. Exposure is super super hard. You can forgive yourself when you can't bring your kids out(I suffered that guilt too) and congratulate yourself when you can do it. As the zoloft kicks...
I had small kids so I had to make small trips daily to bring them to school and such. But once I was home alone I made myself go out once daily to a mall and measured the time I spent there and...
I was agorophobic ~20 yrs ago. I was put on prozac(zoloft equal) daily and xanax as needed. I did use exposure therapy using the xanax if I needed it each time I increased the distance or time from...
I also am tapering from clonapin and it has been just as you describe. I was at .5 2x/day and am now at .125 2x/day after decreasing .125 daily every 2 weeks. Keep the taper slow and small. First of...
I would like to hear from people tapering klonopin as it has been a horrendous experience for me. I was on .5 bid for a few months for panic but found that regular dosing made me depressed. So far I...
Is the title in the topic of the message? Sorry I should have noticed that....
What is the title?...
google pvcs at the top of this page and you will see all the people who have what you have. you need to be worked up (tests) first by your dr or cardiologist if they don't go away. but a lot of us...
Thanks Hibee This is similar to breath meditation. This has a calming effect. I usually use it at night or if I'm having palpitations and it does work to calm them. Maybe I should just do it as a...
C Needless to say I did not listen to my gp but initially I cut the dose 50% q week for 3 weeks and had severe withdrawal symptoms the 3rd week. Then I went back up to my .5mg 2x a day for 2 days and...
Cianna I am also tapering my klonopin by about the same rate you are. I too have the shakiness in the middle of the night. I originally cut too fast so I went back up and started over again. I try...
Some of us aren't lucky enough to respond so well to antedepressnts and are left with only the benzos. Anyway, all the responses have been super helpful. I did even get some good info from the...
To toomuchanxiety How slowly did you wean?...
These are money making web sites. Most people wean themselves slowly without supplements. I guess I was just asking of others experience. My doc thinks I can do it cold turkey but I find it too...
Has anyone had experience getting off of klonopin? I have been on 0.5 mg 2x a day for 1 yr for panic attacks and am having trouble weaning off slowly. I get impatient and start skipping doses or...
I'm so happy for you. I've been reading you for year (curemypvcs.com) where you announced your pregnancy. THis bundle should keep your mind occupied for a long time. Congratulations....
please keep us up to date on the effectiveness of the adjustments. Thanks...
I was a visitting nurse before I retired 2 yrs ago. I can tell you that the agencies now encourage nurses to do their paper/computer work in the home before they leave for their next visit. Nurses...
Please let other people take care of you. You are going through a temporary mental health crisis. If this was considered l a "medical" condition like heart attack maybe you would feel less guilty...
Merrida You are so reassuring. I always look for your posts when I feel "anxious"....
To Merrida What is the the name of the powdered magnesium that you have had success with?...
I have had pvcs and pacs x 20 yrs off and on. This bout has lasted ~ 1 1/2 yrs and after many dr visits and tests and loss of time on researching crazy cures and taking unfamiliar supplements, I...
To JungRulz.... I gather you had your appt with your EP. I'm interested if he/she had suggested anything as far as further testing, meds or supplements(magnesium or taurine). I've been to an EP and...
I was googling info on effexor on this site but most of the info is more than 5 yrs old. My internist wants to put me on a low dose for panic attacks and mild depression. With all the side effects,...
Thanks for the article info. It was very helpful. I just wonder why there are no more recent studies as this study seems to indicate some promise. And thanks miss spice bomb....
Has anyone had any experience with either arginine or taurine supplements for benign arrhythmias? I've been researching them on the web....
I am the one who wrote about my EP suggesting sotalol for benign pacs/pvcs if they are influencing me with daily activites(work). He was supportive also with doing nothing but the choice was mine....
Thank you for your info. My cardiologist is an EP and he was more concerned over how these pacs were affecting my daily life. It has changed. He also said he would not put me in the hosp for 3 days...
I am going to assume that no one has taken this drug for benign pacs as people have read my post and no one has replied. That in itself is an answer to my question. I'll stick with the toprol....
Has anyone taken sotalol for lots of benign pacs and what has been your experience? My Dr has given me the choice depending on how much these pacs were affecting my quality of life. I amd currently...
When I cheat with things like coffee/ msg etc that I know will cause increased pacs/pvcs, I just assume I will get more. I usually try meditation/ extra dose of magnesium/ or mild sedative as needed...
I hope you keep us updated on how your withdrawal is going. I also am on klonopin .5 twice a day for ~ 1 yr and am looking to decrease it slowly. How much of a decrease and how often works the best....
Metaprolol is generally well tolerated. I take it daily in probably a higher dose than the doctor ordered for you. He probably ordered 25mg. I don't think you need to be afraid to try it. It does...
That's funny as I always tell my husband and doctor that they should imagine being poked in the middle of their chest every few seconds non stop. Like chinese water torture. I'm still not sure they...
yes. they are minimal if I keep my meals small and frequent and I find if I don't eat 3 hrs before going to bed, I'm less apt to get them at night. I do drink a lot of water. and v8 juice for the...
your story is very similar to mine. I also take a beta blocker for hbp. Have had a run of pacs/pvcs for a few months and started taking mag 250 2x a day(magnesium taurate from the vitamin shoppe)...
