I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you....
I've been dealing with ear pressure and buzzing for about 2 weeks. Suddenly came on after I went walking. I did go to my doctor and he told me I had a middle ear infection and my ears hurt on and...
Ok thx...
Hang in there.... I follow your posts. Wanted to ask you a question. I searched the site and saw that you took Brahmi (bacopa). Did it work for you? I am taking a supplement that had 50 mg of it....
Hang in there Wolverine!!! I also will not be on here too much as I am trying to avoid any triggers. Take care!...
Ya I tried it twice and on that minuscule dose and both times same reaction. Hangover and anxiety. I never took it 2 nights in a row but it seems that 2 days after I feel even more anxiety. Yes meds...
Glad to hear things are on the up for you. It gives others hope! All we can do is keep fighting!...
Ya the trazodone gave me next day anxiety. And then the following day it was even worse. The same thing happened the last time I tried it. Today I am less anxious so it definitely was that.... Off I...
Hey Yes taxes are something we need to get working on as well. My sleep has been horrible. I have to see my doc and perhaps switch meds. Have a busy weekend as well with birthdays. It's March Break...
Hey I did sleep but it took me a while to fall asleep on the Trazodone. I still woke up at my same time so I am wondering if it's even worth it for me as I feel so tired. Do you find that you...
You are brave to be trying these meds! How many mg of Remeron are you taking? I heard that 7.5 mg or 15 mg work well for sedation. I understand what you mean by those feelings of depression. That was...
Your advice is always welcome. I don't have a cbt therapist so I welcome it. Your trip sounds exciting! Good for you! Gonna try the Trazodone tonight again. Took my klonopin in the afternoon. Gonna...
Yes regarding kids adding stress but adding joy. But it has been more now that my almost 9 year old sees this. My 5 year old has never made me as many drawings and cards as she has during this time,...
Hi Wolverine, I am stubborn really is what it comes down to. I am taking klonopin but have been since December because I have had tons of anxiety getting onto the Zoloft. So I was taking .5 in the...
Hey Wolverine, So glad to hear that your getaway was nice and that you were able to relieve a bit of your anxiety. We changed our clocks forward so today was the first day for it to get dark at 7:15...
Thanks Hibee...
yes Feeling Good is a good book. I also think I have too much time to think. Gotta busy up my time!!! Enjoy your weekend away!!...
I feel like the daytime anxiety goes up and down according to how much I have slept. Funny you say the part about dwelling as I was just talking to my husband about this. It is time for me to live. I...
Hmm it's up and down for me too. I spoke to my psychiatrist as I have one good night then one not so good night. She just told me to move my klonopin all to the evening as I have been splitting it. I...
Hey Wolverine, How have you been adjusting to the Seroquel?...
Hey Wolverine, maybe talk to your prescribing doc about what you are experiencing? How about something like Remeron or Doxepin? Do you discuss these things with your gp or psychiatrist? Maybe ask...
I didn't mean to scare you. But you made a switch to something else so the doctor must know. All I know is even though I only took 12.5 the following day I had increased anxiety and the following day...
I didn't use it but luckily I slept last night. I wake up early but I felt so hungover after the Trazodone!!! Yes this site is to encourage everyone and we will get past this!!!...
Things will come together!!! The only constant in life is change!! All will work out!...
I think that there are withdrawl symptoms from Trazodone. It gave me anxiety the following day and i took that puny dose. Because it blocks a certain receptor that can cause rebound anxiety. Everyone...
Thank you. You are the only person I have been in touch with on this board. I am not sure what triggered this and I will be checking in on the board from time to time but I think I have become a bit...
Hi Wolverine, How did night 2 go on the Seroquel? I myself didnt take the Trazodone last night because of the way I felt the next day and I only slept 1.5 hours. Not good at all. I have been trying...
I'm pretty med sensitive and since I took it with klonopin I felt it. Got restless legs initially and then slept. Not sure I like it as I have anxiety now. I've heard seroquel knocks you out just...
Good to hear that you tried it. I did the 12.5 measly mg of Trazodone and I slept but woke early and felt really dizzy. Had to get my hubby to help me out of bed. Did seroquel knock you out? I'm...
Good luck with the seroquel as well! Thx...
Wolverine, I had a horrible night last night in terms of sleep. It was improving, but always early morning wakings. Last night total insomnia no sleep. Finally got a psychiatrist after waiting...
It is best to have symptoms in complete remission and during winter months many people need to go up in dose. I am on Zoloft and still working on getting back to normal after stopping. Wolverine let...
Hi Wolverine, I have been sleeping but it has been up and down with the dose increases. Saw my doc yesterday and he gave me a seroquel script. It too sure what I will do with that... As for Trazadone...
Happy turtle how long were you using seroquel for? Did it help you though? I am concerned about the cardiac issues and weight gain issues associated with it. Maybe Trazadone is better.. I did hear...
Canada you remind me of myself by the way. I have researched so many medications that my husband was shocked when he heard me naming off different meds to my doctor. I guess when desperate we want...
Canada I feel your pain. I am seeing my gp today. I had a horrible night on Saturday night no sleep at all. And then raised anxiety on Sunday. Talk to your doctor. Keep at it as its your wellbeing....
Anything is possible with natural supplements. I'm on Zoloft and took sleepy time tea with passionflower and valerian and it made me feel anxious and depressed. We all react differently...
It is so nice to get so many supportive answers and knowing that I am not alone in this. It has been such a tough couple of months. I see my doctor on Monday. Since my original dose was 150 Zoloft I...
Thanks for the input! I'm just scared of withdrawl. Yesterday I was more anxious than usual and am wondering if it was from the valerian root tea I took. Hibee- I see that you take mirtazapine. Is...
So regarding Zyprexa do you take an ssri as well or zyprexa on its own?...
I would try benadryl but not sure if it can be mixed with a benzo......
I havent posted in a while but have been on quite a rollercoaster!!! Took Zoloft for 4 years stopped weaning gradually and 2 months later got horrible insomnia. Reinstated zoloft Dec 3 slowly...
I would be interested in hearing people's opinions on zyprexa. I'm having a hell of a time on Zoloft. Up to 125 after 7 weeks. See some improvement but I'm restarting it and was originally at 150....
I also have alot of anxiety around sleep. It makes it so much harder when we have to care for our children as well and not only ourselves. Do you take xanax on a regular basis? I heard that if you...
I'm a fellow Canadian as well. I'm also waiting to speak to somebody as well. Been waiting a month!! Glad to hear that your appointment went well!...
Thanks for your support guys. Surprisingly I am enjoying being home with peace and quiet. Went to the gym and relaxing! That's the thing I feel bad because all I want to do is relax! And social...
Yes you are absolutely correct. I have also heard that even if the sleep isn't great the worst that will happen is you will feel a bit lousy that day. I am glad to hear that the Paxil has kicked in....
I also fear being home alone. Everyone goes back to their routine tomorrow and I feel stressed. I have things planned to keep occupied but it is going to be so cold this week I'm in Canada. We will...
I am in the same boat as you just with Zoloft. Got off it after 4 years and feel so silly that I did. I get a lot of morning anxiety and then it calms later in the day. Like you it makes me so upset....
Ya I seem to let my days be ruled by how I've slept so I fear scheduling things ahead of time now. It's so silly. So Wolverine how is the Trazadone? Does it help? Thanks for your feedback very much...
