Hi. I can't comment on the effects of Lexapro but I'm on Sertraline and Propranolol. I have experienced similar to you only for me it's "vibrating" as opposed to twitching. It's very uncomfortable...
Lou if you're in the UK or Ireland there is a platform called Elefriends operated by the mental health charity MIND; It's very much like Facebook but only in the sense that you have a profile and...
Hello everyone. As always thank you very much for the advice/support. My back continues to vibrate (such a strange feeling) but I have managed today to distract myself from it when I have felt it...
Hiya Lou. I was quite sad to read your post. I can't relate to your depression but I do know what it's like to feel so doubtful and unsure - Questioning everything is exhausting. I'm sorry to hear...
I have Tinnitus with my anxiety so I either hear just my heartbeat in one ear or I hear an array of sounds in both ears; Whooshing being one example....
I don't understand this thread at all and I'll explain why. I don't know what a "Neti Pot" is and in my country (Ireland) we do drink tap water (We are advised not to drink tap water when we visit...
Time2reclaim, I was terrified to start taking my anti anxiety medication. I had to seek quite a bit of comfort and reassurance from the lovely people on here but I did take them. Then I grew anxious...
Hi guys, I hope you're all doing well this weekend. Anyway, I started my anti anxiety medication (Sertraline and Propranolol) 11 days ago where I did have some initial side effects for 2 days but...
Gilly, Scaredy Cat - Please tell me if this is true.... That if someone experiences one of the listed "rare" side effects from a medication it is because they have "schizophrenic genes"? I'm...
Is it true that if someone experiences one of the listed "rare" side effects from a medication it is because they have "schizophrenic genes"? I'm experiencing closed eye hallucinations from...
Hi Jessid, I've been taking Sertraline (What you call Zoloft) for three days now also and I can definitely relate to what you've said about "feeling weird on them" and having a dry mouth (alongside...
I tried B12 and it did nothing but give me horrendous headaches. I also tried Rescue Remedy and I felt nothing from it either good or bad. I think it's fair to say that while natural remedies might...
Hey! You really are having a lot to contend with, I'm genuinely sorry for you and hope you feel better soon. I can't comment on the other medications you mentioned as I have never been on them but I...
I was awake until after 8am this morning but then I must have fallen asleep and only woke up at 4.17pm - Whilst I really needed the rest, I can't afford to have such an unhealthy sleeping pattern for...
Not sleeping at all; Feeling pretty terrified right now and regretting agreeing to take the Sertraline/Propranolol. I know I was struggling bad with the anxiety before and I was scared but in the...
Thanks guys; I took the Sertraline this morning and the Propranolol about five hours later - Taking on board the advice to space the medication out. I got zero sleep last night but at least I felt...
I started Sertraline and propranolol earlier,(I took them at around 7.30pm), I then had a great evening of actually feeling relaxed to some extent, some intrusive thoughts but for whatever reason I...
Hi. I made the mistake roughly 18 months ago of not taking the medication (sertraline and propranolol) that my doctor prescribed for me - Like you I was scared to take these tablets because of the...
Hi Jessek. Feel free to private message me at any time; I'll always reply. I've sometimes found it helpful during really bad anxiety attacks to type out long messages to people on this forum because...
I'm frightened. My anxiety has been extremely crippling the last two days. I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and it can't come soon enough. I'm terrified of these thoughts but I know they...
I know that I am a good person, I have no doubts about that. Admittedly I have made mistakes in life and have likely said or done things at times that have caused hurt to others (as we all have) but...
Tim Tam I agree that I was stressed in the lead up to May; I acknowledge that I was worked up, analysing, over thinking and now I think back on it I recall at least three occasions where I was...
I know exactly how it started; I was reading in bed one night last May, a book I couldn't put down and eventually drifted off to sleep - I woke up shortly after thinking I had heard someone call my...
Hi everyone, thanks so much for the replies (Your advice is GREATLY appreciated). The doctor prescribed Propranolol and Sertraline but as I said that was last Summer - I went to the doctor for help,...
Hey Tim Tam, thanks so much for your reply. The mad thing is that I am aware that people with schizophrenia do not recognise that they are unwell. I know that people suffering from the illness see...
Hi Just Curious, thanks for the reply. Oh I'm sorry about your dad, I hope he's doing well now. I don't have any family history of schizophrenia but I can't beat the thought of having it, it consumes...
Hi everyone. This may be quite long but I would appreciate any feedback. Around last May (2015) I was overcome with a fear of noise - Basically I woke up one morning and out of the blue I was scared,...
