Thank you, Tim Tam. I appreciate what you have to offer. I believe she has inherited it. My my had bi-polar and I have had anxiety issues (mild - moderate usually) but for a 3 year period after...
BNotAfraid, thank you so much. This morning the doctor said it's her belief and the other doctors who have had sessions with her (in just one day) that my daughter has ADHD, which is probably giving...
Hello, my daughter is just 11 and over the last 3 weeks, she has plummeted into a deep depression with thoughts of suicide/self harm. She has revealed she has been "sad" since she was 8, but we, mom...
You sound a bit like me. I felt much worse after trying Prilosec and then Raberprazole. Granted, like the others suggested, I did not keep taking them for more than a week. I switched to H2 blockers...
Thanks for your response. I have not had any other tests except for blood work he wanted to see, which all came out normal. I'm rescheduling hopefully for later this week....
My doctor thinks so, but he was quick to evaluate me. I am worried it's stomach cancer, though he said off the cuff he doesn't think cancer. But here goes - 6 weeks ago - Started with a sore throat...
I am very very similar, Gunner. I had a sore throat and a little nausea. I did have some trouble here and there coughing on my water sips. I had heartburn a couple times, but nothing major. Then he...
Good luck you you. Keep on healing. -hug-...
I have been dealing with the heartburn pain that comes and goes, some days better. Other days worse. Usually there's bloating, belching involved. I get pains in my upper left stomach region (that...
Moderator - Please delete my post. Thanks...
Hello, as the subject line states, my 40 year old wife was just diagnosed with non-invasive, stage 0, level one DCIS. It was a routine mammogram that detected the abnormality and we are both shocked...
Today I skipped Welchol and didn't have that flu symptom, fatigue lightheaded feeling. My doc said to skip it for two days and to start it back up with a lower dosage. I think I'm super sensitive to...
Sounds like anxiety symptoms. I've had all of those. Try deep relaxation or meditation and see if it helps....
I have been on Welchol for two weeks to treat mold. The last three or four days I seem to be having flu like symptoms that come and go for hours at a time. Malaise, weak, fatigue, lightheaded. Is...
Reviving this discussion. So I tried Cholestryramine and it was a bit too constipating for me. (even starting at 1/4 a scoop and increasing by a 1/4 each day). My doc had me switch to Welchol, which...
As someone who came off of antidepressants last year (and went through hell)in the tapering WD process, and also who took Xanax (as needed) only to become addicted in a few months and having very bad...
P - thank you for your response. I just started taking it two days ago. This is day three. I started at just 1gm first day and 2nd day. First day bad heartburn. Regular BM. 2nd day NO heartburn...
Yes, the doctor is Lyme literate. He also tested me for that through Quest diagnostics. My CD57 was 98 and my C4a was 15k range. My current house has no mold (recently retested) my old home had a...
Hi gang, I was diagnosed last week with having CIRS. I figured here in the Lyme section people have experience with this drug removing toxins from their bodies. I just started it up (titrating up...
I decided this morning to start the Cholestyramine but introducing it at a slow rate (1gm) and gradually increase it throughout the week. I noticed after my first dose, frequent urination. Not sure...
My c4a was in the 15,000 range. My cd57 is 98. My doctor thinks it's definitely mold. (CIRS) and put me on CSM. He seemed confident that the treatment will bring my inflammation down and I should...
I am seeing my doctor tomorrow. We haven't discussed what this means yet, and I don't have a diagnosis from him. Tomorrow I will see what he says and recommends. I've never had a disease before so...
My c4a test came back 'sky high' (don't have the numbers yet but will tomorrow) and my cd57 is at 98 (which the doc considers a gray zone). All this time I thought I was suffering through a long...
The diagnosis would explain a lot of my other symptoms. I'm trying to look at the bright side of this, in that at least now I Am getting answers and soon will have treatment and game plan to getting...
My integrative doctor mentioned to me my recent lab results in which he was checking for infection. He found c4a levels were sky-high indicating mycotoxins and my cd57 was in the gray zone at 98. I...
Thanks for all the well wishes. But I'm putting the breaks on the Gabapentin. After trying to figure out what's been going on lately, talking with my doctor, and others who know about Benzo...
I had nausea and weakness all day and was awake all night with a racing heart. I am going to bite the bullet and try the Gabapentin. I am going to try not to be anxious or worried about trying it. Be...
Thanks. I found it helpful to read. I have a new therapist who is going to treat me with 'mindfulness' meditation. A little different from CBT but I will try it....
Thanks for the responses. I just contacted my first p-doc who said Prozac and told him about the 2nd opinion on the Gabapentin and he thought it was a good choice for me and that I should start the...
I've been getting sporadic panic episodes these last few months that begin with a sense of vertigo or dizziness. I sort of feel like I just got off a boat, or that I've been drinking. I know it's...
Pretty kittay, your story sounds exactly like mine. 14 years on Paxil, 9 months off now. Just recently started getting panic and anxiety.ive also thought about Buspar. My dr is recommending...
Scaredy - it seems like anxiety/panic. Sometimes when I'm walking outside, like taking my kids to school I'll get a small bout of dizziness (then it subsides after a few moments). Last night, I got...
Yes, sorry, thank you so much. The article had a lot of positive feedback. It definitely makes me feel more comfortable trying it out. I already had a prescription for it, i just have been afraid to...
In my case, I am trying to soften the blow of anxiety from the results of coming off of 14 years of Paxil use. I stopped Paxil 9 months ago and had many withdrawal symptoms, but didn't get anxiety...
Scaredy, there is no article link. Looking forward to reading it...
A new Psychiatrist highly recommends this for my anxiety, panic issues. Has anyone tried it and what was your experience?...
Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm finding less anxiety just by reading the CBT books I have. I think understanding it is helping. Hopefully I'll get even better in the coming weeks with a new...
I have experienced some of those symptoms too, and I'm sure for me it is anxiety/panic. Anxiety can effect your whole body, mind, muscles, organs, heart. I've also gone to the ER a couple times only...
Hibee, what were the other therapies that worked for you!...
I am reading up on this, and not sure if it really is helpful or not. I am switching to a new therapist in a couple weeks who specializes in CBT (my current one doesn't seem very experienced in this...
@super20dan, when you got on the prozac, how high or low did you start out on? My doc wants me to do 10mg but I am afraid it might be too high for me. I seem really sensitive to supplements so I'm...
Yes, Paxil is the hardest to come off. I am nine months off and after suffering numerous waves of symptoms, I'm finally being hit with intense anxiety, which I never had pre-Paxil. This is the first...
Thanks for the input. I will decide soon what to do after I talk to another dr for a second opinion....
So after 9 months off of 14 years of Paxil use, I am considering reinstating because the severe anxiety bouts are proving too much. My doctor is suggesting Prozac. Paxil had pooped out on me the year...
Thank you super. Actually, I just realized I am 9 months off. I finished my taper in August last year. I will not reinstate, I spoke to my integrative doctor today and he told me never to touch paxil...
Thank you so much, Scaredy. You have been there for me whenever I have sought help here. I wish you the best too....
That's funny you should say that. I read a great article yesterday regarding people trusting their gut instincts. My gut says ride it out, even if I have to temporarily deal with taking a xanax.(by...
Thanks Scardey, my GP just got back to me and recommended me to do what I've been doing for the time being, and use a xanax if the anxiety hits me hard (like today when I was driving). He said try...
14 years on Paxil, I did a 5 month taper last year from 20mg to 0mg. I've had all the usual WD symptoms one typically gets while coming off a SSRI. As many know the symptoms come in windows and...
