Well, the luidomil has finally stopped all the burning sensation. No more pain, in combo with taking the ativan. So, the doc and I believe the problem was withdrawal effect from going completely off...
The Ativan is not working as well as it was when it was first started. Sometimes after taking it, within a couple of hours the burning sensation is back and I'm walking, crawling, jumping, making...
I don't see having one beer a day over 3 days to relieve the burning sensation as a problem. I see it no different than taking ativan or kava kava. I'm not drinking to get high or loaded, or to...
It got bad enough on the 18th that I went to the ER. I was given a shot of Ativan and an RX for Ativan 2mg q8h. It is working a lot better than the Valium was. Some discomfort at times, but feeling a...
I realize it isn't an answer, but I haven't functioned well in 13 years and don't see an end to this crap. I've held out hope for that long that things would change. I've done all I know to do,...
Neuropathy appears to be related to hands and feet. I don't have tingling and it's my torso and head rather than hands and feet, although my hands and feet to itch when this flares up. What is...
Thanks for your replies. I was on 6.25mg of luidomil for weeks before going off of it. That's not much med. It's 1/4 of a 25mg pill which is the smallest pill made, as far as I know. IT could be...
Hi. I've had depression a long time (diagnosed as bi-polar in 1977) and was on medicine for it from age 27 to a couple of weeks ago (now 60 yo). i'm off depression meds now, but every day I have long...
I am late in posting, Rianna, sorry. The healingwell message that told me I had a reply went to my old email add. There are some biological depressions, I think, so that may be what you have. This...
Thanks Rosie, and coquitlam55. Sometimes I have bad days also, but thanks to what I have learned, they don't last beyond a few hours to a day usually. I know it is harder, perhaps much harder when...
What I am going to say may not feel good to some. It's not said to make anyone feel bad. But it is what I see as true. There are some on this board who are suffering from physical illnesses which may...
I would suggest you look into cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT. I am amazed at how successful the drug industry has been in creating the illusion or delusion that only drugs or chemicals can help a...
Hope those on this forum don't mind if I post to this thread. Kita, I agree wholeheartedly with AlwaysRosie. No one but your husband can be responsible for his happiness or unhappiness. I am not...
I've been on meds for 28 years, but for most of those years the meds never really enabled me to function as well as I needed to. I knew that my thinking was a large part of my problem but I didn't...
Hi Hurricane, I've recently come back to this board after being away for a year or so. I've had problems with anxiety and depression for most of my adult life, 18 to now at 54. It's good to hear that...
Hi Wordbird, I'm sorry for the pain that you feel. I've felt like you too many times and some of it very recently. Do you pay attention to what you say to yourself on an hourly basis? Do you...
Hi clrk131313, I don't frequent this board often, but thought I would share some of what I have learned with my journey. I am now 54. I first had problems with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression...
My mother had Alzheimer's for a couple of years before she died of a blood clot from hip surgery. I read several books on the disease, but have forgotten most of what I read. It can be scary for the...
My mother , who is now deceased, first showed signs of Alzheimers in late 1995. In 1996 my dad passed away and it became clear she needed help. The hospital in a larger city about 25 miles from her...
