Hi, I had general anesthesia a few times and it has been just fine. Basically, one they put it in the IV you just doze off very quick. The next thing you will remember is when they are waking you up....
Thank you! I have not tried that but will look for it....
Hi, I have not used the med you mentioned but was taking Lovastatin for years and it did not really lower the cholesterol to great levels. No side effects. Now, I take Atorvastatin 20 mg (for like a...
Regarding Buspar, I did try it and it did not help me. Actually it gave a horrible panic/anxiety attack and ended up in urgent care. I couldn't stop shaking, so for me it was awful. Maybe for mild...
I do not think I would actually be cured. Some periods of time are good and calm and then suddenly out of nowhere I feel really anxious. With mine I do get lots of physical symptoms so I think it has...
Hi! It is the first time I write in this group. I was diagnosed with IBS like 12 years ago. I do no get constipated, but I do get diarrhea almost every single day. I also get cramps when I need to go...

I do the same thing and my teeth started to worn out so I have to sleep with a mouth guard. I am used to it so it does not bother me. I do it during the day too but at least I can stop myself when I...
I know this makes no sense at all. We are going for a week to Cancun tomorrow to a beautiful resort and I have so much anxiety. I started feeling sick. I really get bothered when something that is...
Good morning, I think it was 10 mg, then 25 mg and 50 the last months but this was like 5 years ago. I did tapered off slowly, like 3 weeks. I did not try another SSRI. Before Zoloft, I tried Lexapro...
Hi, I hope you are feeling better today. I think 18 days may not be enough for your body to adapt to the medication. You may have to wait probably at least 2 more weeks to see how you are doing. I...
Hello, I came back from vacation on 6/29. It was for a week with all ladies from my family. The place was nice but isolated and the last day we spent 8 hours in traffic. I hate being stuck in a car....

Hi Tela44, I was reading your last post and I was thinking that as a child I also felt pretty normal. Taking to my therapist, I see now how much pressure I had a child. My mom had to have the house...
I completely understand. It is exhausting. I also agree that sometimes you just need to take a break and rest and do what calms you and makes you feel better. Do not feel sorry for yourself. You are...

Hi Rich, Maybe you can change your morning routine. I do not know what you do in the morning but I understand that watching TV and looking at your phone does not help. Maybe try some tea, read a nice...
Hi, I take benzos to deal with road trips and it helps (klonopin). I do bring anything that I could need just in case and it gives me peace of mind. In this country 911 will get to you pretty fast so...

Hello G, I have never had that with my anxiety. I worry more about my family and primarily my health all the time. Maybe someone here can relate. I think that probably you could talk to your doctor...
Hi Cilly, I do take BP meds and it is under control now. I always noticed that my BP was always really high at those pharmacy stands so not sure how accurate they are. I think the readings at the...

Hi, 2 weeks ago I went to see my doctor because I have been having really bad back pain. Because I have been taking lovastatin for many years she wanted me to stop it and see if the pain improved. So...
I only take benzos as needed. My chest pain with the klonopin goes away almost completely. I have not found any med that helps with the pains besides that and obviously I cannot take the benzo daily....

I also have GERD and anxiety and I do believe that they feed from each other. My anxiety has been very high lately and I have also all these weird stomach and back/chest pains. Just like you my...
I am sorry you are having a bad day. But I guess when we have them, we just have to keep fighting and remember that we have been through that before and made it. Yes, it is going to be a hard day but...
I guess maybe home alone, but I noticed that if I am really anxious and I am interacting with people, I get distracted from my anxiety and enjoy the moment. I even forget and do not feel the pain....
I have not posted in a while. I was feeling okay for a while, then my mom came to visit, I traveled and an uncle died. My mom's visit and the vacation were great. It just seems that when there is...
I am so sorry for your loss. I really do not know what you could do, this is very recent and I think it is natural you feel the way you do. I hope time helps some. Best wishes....

Thank you for sharing! It is so nice to hear stories like this because it gives us hope. I am also trying to get better and trying to not avoid doing things because of the anxiety. I am also seeing a...
