Thank you all for the answers. 4 days later and I am still (relatively) sane. So yes, it was a panic attack. Like a horrible, monstrous, terrible, panic attack. I have had them for 18 years and they...
The fear of going crazy is typical with my panic attacks. I just had an episode in the last day that has made me doubt. I am wondering if I am not in the beginning of psychosis. I have been under a...
Thank you all for your posts. In a way, I know this is a ridiculous fear but sometimes I just feel like it is a real possibility and it makes me totally panic. The one chance in 10 million that it...
OK. This must be the weirdest phobia (or OCD) ever. I am afraid to choke on my dental crowns. I have 3 of them, 2 of them are on teeth that are "bigger" (a molar and an incisor). Since once of them...
Sounds like LPR. Laryngopharyngeal reflux. Look it up....
Is there a possible interaction between PPI and oral contraceptives? The pharmacist tell me there is not but since I am taking 60 mg of prevacid daily (the usual dose is 30mg) I am really wondering...
Prevacid works only for like 16 hours so if you take one in the morning and the other before dinner you will have "acid control" all day long. If you take 60 mg in the morning you will have reflux at...
I take 30 mg twice a day. Yes I feel better but I thought that with such a big dose of prevacid (normally people take only 30 mg) I would have ZERO symptoms. That is why I am still frustrated. I hate...
I also had the dry throat but now with 60 mg prevacid it is gone. It was just HORRIBLE. Now I only have the "food stuck in throat feeling" but I had many test done and they tell me NOTHING is getting...
ok, let me explain! I am doing CBT as a treatment for agoraphobia. The idea is I go further and further away from home. I have to go a little further every time but not too much (I am not supposed to...
ok, this may be a stupid question but I am a young women in perfect health except for a bad case of LPR that started a year ago. I think that stress (I have panic attacks and agoraphobia) may have...
thank you all for your support :smile: In a week or 2 I will look for a job again. The good thing is now I have a lot more confidence because I KNOW I can work. I think it is a great tip for...
hi. I wanted to share something that happened to me. I have panic disorder + agoraphobia for a number of years. I have ups and downs. I have a big down period this last spring. I had not worked since...
hi I just wanted to know if some people here have LPR with dysphagia. I have those symptoms for a year now. I have been on double dose prevacid for 9 months and I still have symptoms. I am better...
hi, I have a question. How can you protect your inhaler from heat and cold? I take my ventolin wherever I go because I never know when I will need it but the temperatures here in montreal go from -25...
hi, I have a question for people who suffer from agoraphobia. I have severe agoraphobia myself and I am so tired of being a prisoner of my own house that I think that even what I fear outside is not...
Believe me you are not alone in this. I have met SO MUCH incompetent health care workers. Psychiatrists, family physicians, psycholgists, social workers, nurses, ... they are all supposed to have a...
When I was at my worst my diet was : -baby's food (the one for 6 month old because the 12 month old was too chunky) or vegetables in the blender -yogourt and apple sauce, cream of wheat -ensure...
I tried remeron but even at only 7 mg I was a total zombie on this. For the days that I was on it I would sleep 16 hours a day! Each persons reaction to a drug is different. Good luck to you....
My diet is almost normal now but when I was eating blends and yogurts some weeks ago it was because I just could not eat anything else. I just felt like I was going to choke from anything else. Even...
I am so tired of this lpr thing... I have this problem since february. I was diagnosed in may and put on a double dose of prevacid. At first I was unable to eat anything except yogourt or blend foods...
hi I have 2 completly different questions but I would really appreciate any feedback you could have. 1) I have read on the forum a little bit on hyperventilation. This is a problem for me when I have...
thank you for all those replies! I think the best thing is that I now feel less alone. Even at the support group I go to in my city I sometimes feel alone because I have severe agoraphobia and many...
this post is old but I am going to reply anyway. The modified barium swallow test is basically a test where they take X RAYS of your mouth, throat, esophagus while you eat food covered with barium....
Hi To answer your question : yes! it is very clear that the society we live in (and our childhood experiences, and people around us, etc.) have an effect on our mental health. The fact is we live in...
hi. this is only my second post but I have a good feeling about this message board so I wanted to share something. I deal with anxiety issues and I have the pleasure :devil: to also have severe...
hi. I just wanted to know that I am not alone. I have been diagnosed with lpr some weeks ago. I have to take prevacid 30 mg 2 times a day. I always thought that reflux was for old people or obese...
I am also glad I found you all even if the posts seem a little old. I also have this fear of going crazy even though I have it for 10 years now with a clear diagnosis of panic disorder and guess what...
