hi.... Hope you are feeling well. Yes, I am on it. I was on 120 mg for 6 years. I developed Diabetes type 2 out of nowhere. No history in my family and I was never a candidate to be predisposed to...
thanks so much everyone. something to consider. Makes alot of sense. I"LL see if my p doc will be on board....
I've been seeing this mentioned lately. Can anyone tell me what it is , how it's done, what it does and does insurance usually cover it? Thanks so much Linda...
Oh my goodness...you sound exactly like me when I was at the stage of whether or not to have children. (I am 52 now and have two awesome kids). I regarded having children as a liken to being hung on...
Hi Alantra.. I am so sorry to hear you are getting this anxiety. I am 52 yrs old and have had it for most of my life-since a child. And you are right--I find anxiety much more difficult to manage...
Hi everybody. I haven't written in a while as my panic has been quite manageable lately. Yes, that is a good thing indeed, but what I am discovering that is happening to me is that I am not really...
Hi Michael. I'm so sorry to hear of all your struggles. As everyone else here has said this is all CLASSIC anxiety symptons. That shock feeling you talk about---I get that often as well. My whole...
Medication changes are always tough. But you are doing it slowly so hopefully it shouldn't be too bad. I really get what you said about the beautiful day.....this happens to me too. I get so...
HI there....sorry to hear of your current troubles. As the moderators said, the best bet would be to see a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis. Your regular Dr. does not have as much knowledge on...
Hi BlueMoon. I am new to this forum but not to Bipolar. I can so relate to where you are at now. Those rotten dog days. The moderator is so right in the fact that you really need to reach out for...
I'm 51 and get these. Have had everything checked and it all buckles down to anxiety. Everything is running as it should inside me they said. As they mentioned above, the coping skills can help with...
Hi Garlene and welcome. I'm sorry to hear of your recent struggles. Anxiety can be truly debilitating. It can consume you. Sounds like you are doing some really helpful things for it but know there...
I actually came across a term that helped me get through a great deal. Similiar to what you say. I was spending a great deal of my time in "anticipatory panic" always just waiting for the next one to...
Oh Jd.....I'm so glad you got to discover on your own , the panic cycle. You used your help that others offered you here and followed it. Then you were able to see that it was panic. This is huge now...
Hi Daxter.....not to scare you but incase you haven't had an inhaler before I wanted to warn you. The medicine in the inhaler tends to increase anxiety. It made me very jittery and nervous. I believe...
I'm so sorry to hear of this. Scaredy Cat had some really important questions that would help us to help you. It could even be that it was just you and not the meds that did this to you. You could...
Can you put a call in to your Dr. before you decide to do this? Perhaps you two could figure out something else or he might have advice for you on the Lexapro. It's never a good idea to do this by...
Hi Jd. Sorry you are feeling this way. What you are describing sounds exactly like panic attacks. And there is also another term which you have going on is anticipatory panic. Meaning you feel like...
Hi Pinkie.... You are not alone with this feeling of frustration. My family does not even want to hear me try and describe it to them. They constantly tell me it's all in my head and to just get over...
great job! Being able to work through your anxiety is huge. You sound so grounded about it. It's not easy caring for a little one while having this anxiety--but it's something you know you just have...
At least you have a wonderful reason to persevere....to prepare for pregnancy. That is exciting! You will have two things to go thru; the physical dependance and the psychological one. The latter...
That sounds wicked cool going to the range!! For me, alot of my coping comes from constantly staying in learning mode about panic and depression. I am constantly reading articles and studies,...
I wish you well with this. I was wondering what prompted it? Did Dr. want you to do this or you made the decission yourself? If you decided yourself then it should be pretty easy to do. Slow and...
I know how you feel. I don't feel like any of my family truly understands the enormity of my panic. They have no respect for how hard it is for me to do things. They think I should "just get over it"...
It''s awful when those we care for can't show it back. Sounds so similiar to my home. I feel for you. I too am having teeth problems and can't afford to get them fixed, meanwhile my husband plays...
thanks so much for sharing. Not only the words, but the music and photographs are so beautiful....
Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear you are having this struggle. I can totally relate. I remember the feeling as if the Dr. must have missed something-that there is really something wrong with me. But in...
How horrific! Do get into see the Health Dept. or Social Services. They can help you with Obamacare. I know i just got my 21 yr old daughter on Medicaid that way. She is not covered on my insurance....
Just a quick thought.....would it help if you were to find out ahead of time where the local hospital was? Every community has one. Also I know many of the campgrounds i've stayed in, the local...
nausea feel like a ball of fire is in my stomach. My throat closes in. Dizzy and an overall feeling like I am loosing it....
I'm so sorry to hear how you are feeling. You certainly have alot going on., Boy do I remember those days. Don't know how I made it. My babies are now in their early 20's, but I don't miss that old...
Sorry to hear of all your anxiety troubles. I love your mantra..."just keep swimming" perfect for anxiety sufferers. This is very much like mindfullness meditations. Alot of what is found on our...
Hi....hope you are feeling better. Wondering how it is going now for you. I have been very interested in your posts because I have been through much the same thing. I have been on 42 different psych...
I just want to let you know that if you google latuda and go to it's website there is a coupon for it. You can get the script for 25.00. It would have been 75.00 with my insurance. Hope this helped...
when i was using the patch I too needed more nicotene than it gave me. I supplemented with nicotene gum as well as the patch. Yeah., you definatly feel the difference of nicotene level if you just...
congrats at your attempt to quit smoking. It can be done. I quit back in December . I was a pack a day girl. I thought it was going to be so much harder than it was. Honestly think about using the...
Wow you have alot to contend with now. I loved your saying that you were not "vibrating" today. That's too funny. So true though-I totally get it. I am on 1mg xanax twice a day. I usually have to...
I just want to really thank all of you here. I was in major turmoil yesterday and so much kindness was sent to me. I am proud to report that I did go to you tube and did a self esteem meditation and...
I'm so sorry to hear of all that is going on for you. You have some real "biggies". Good for you to reach out here. I always find it so grounding when I do so. So many people here reach out with love...
My sister just phoned me to say that my mom is being taken by ambulance from her nursing home/rehab (she just had surgery). My sister is on her way to the hospital as well as my other sister. Let...
Hi there...my first time posting here, It struck me sharply though as I was reading the posts....Let's just say that the Lamotrigine is causing the bleeding when you skip a dose and it makes you feel...
I just love your name here..."Beach Life". The one good thing that did come from googling was that it brought you to this forum. You have found a home here. I have horrible panic myself...not so much...
That's tremendous how you were able to bring yourself back into the right mindset. Just goes to show that doing this work you did does pay off. I know what your talking about when you say that your...
hello again CD. 25 years is an awfully long time together. I find it hard to believe that YOU are doing something wrong. In fact, I can guarantee you that it is not you causing his problems. We are...
Hi there...and welcome back. I am fairly new here myself. It sounds like you are at an impass right now with this relationship. It's so hard. When you give so much of yourself to it and feel like you...
Thanks so much JM. Yes, I made it to the gym. Feels good. And that is great advice to give her a call. She'll go easy on me....she knows I am also struggling with an active alcoholic husband as well...
Hi everyone. I was on here the other day and was talking about working up the courage to go to the gym. Well, here I sit yet again......la la la..... It's not just the gym though. I put off...
Hi and welcome....so awesome you' ve reached recovery and are so happy. I too am an addicted person. I am currently on suboxone treatment. I used to be a drinker along the years but luckily that has...
