Ok, I will! I'll have to find out what it is and I'll get back to ya....
Most definitely SC! I gave my niece the link for this site because I'm trying my best to help her through her panic disorder now. She's getting worse with the extreme health anxiety, so I figured...
Hiya Larry! Good to see you again my friend! I am feeling pretty good. I've learned that you have to have a positive outlook on things. Especially with the way the world is today. ;) Hope you are...
Hiya SC! I've missed you my friend! I can't even remember last time I was on to be honest, so I don't know how much you know. But my oldest son got married this past November, and I have a new...
Hi Toulouse... I don't have any experience with Gabapentin, but I did try Prozac at one point in time. I do remember it made my anxiety worse, and I stopped taking it. Prozac is an anti-depressant,...
Wow Force... that was extremely insensitive on your part. People are not on here 24/7 to instantly respond to a post. Patience is a virtue... That being said, there have been many posts that I read,...
Hi guys! Sorry I've been away so long, lots of stuff going on in my life within the last 2 years, not to mention the fact that I forgot my username and password. Hope everyone is doing well! I wanted...
Too much, too fast! Please do yourself a favor and start by cutting down in 25 mg increments. Do not do 50 mgs at a time or you will definitely feel withdrawal symptoms. I was on 200 mgs also (one of...
A good alternative to lettuce, is spinach leaves. Very good for you, and yummy too! Whenever I make a sandwich or something like it, I usually use spinach leaves because plain lettuce doesn't seem to...
RN, I have just started back on Zoloft again for the 5th time. I have been on it again, 25 mgs, for the last 16 days. I was supposed to bump up to 50 mgs after 2 weeks, but I'm waiting on that until...
Merrida, Boy! You are definitely entitled to have a good "freak out" whenever your little heart desires! I honestly don't know how you managed to hold it together for this long without having any...
Awww Lisa! Don't make yourself suffer! If you need to take that one little pill to help you get through the day, then take it. That's what they're there for. We all need a crutch to lean on every now...
Oh RN, I didn't take it any sort of way. I was thinking that you thought my panic attacks only lasted 10 minutes, that's all. I'm very proud of you for sticking it out as long as you could. It's not...
I agree with you. I'm not saying that she's not qualified. I'm 42 now and wish sometimes I would have had another one with my husband now. We've been together for 20 years now. But when we got...
Cornell, I agree wholeheartedly that we are all here to help MG, AND each other. And I also understand that those are your issues to deal with. Perhaps if I give you some background on me, you might...
It was directed toward me T&S, and that's ok. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I just gave my input as an outsider, using the information she gave about how her husband was treating her, the...
Greyfox, Zoloft (aka:sertraline) Is a very safe SSRI. Like I said in one of your other posts this morning, this is my "go to" med, and this is the 5th time I'm starting it again. There can be some...
I'm going through the same thing right now. I am on day 13 of taking zoloft, for the 5th time now, and the side effects right now are pure hell. I wish there was a way to describe them better, but...
Oh, mine DO last longer than 10 minutes. You may have read my response wrong. Trust me, it's no walk in the park for me. I have had to drive myself to the hospital on a few occasions because I...
I'm back on Zoloft, and going on two weeks. 12 days to be exact, and I'm still suffering from some of the side effects, but I do take xanax 3-4 times a day. Don't get scared, I was on xanax alone for...
Jay, Please don't feel that way. Trust me, I KNOW all too well how anxiety and panic can affect you, I've been dealing with it for about 28 years, ever since I was 14 years old. If you are having...
Cheers to you for getting out of the house and driving, AND going to the park! So glad you went even when you didn't feel that you could handle it. This is definitely a step in the right direction...
Mg, I am so very sorry for what you are going through right now. It's an awful feeling, but just know that we are ALL here to support you. Please, if you don't have any family or friends to talk to,...
CD, So am I correct in assuming that you haven't actually been diagnosed with PTSD? I just want to be clear on that before I comment any farther. Fox...
I'm sorry if I offended you, and I didn't mean it to sound like you were trying to save your marriage by having a baby. That's not what I meant at all. I'm just saying that you need to work on your...
MissGigi, Please don't take this the wrong way, but if your husband is treating you unkindly and criticizing you, and not being the pillar of support you need right now, what makes you think it would...
Rn, I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. It is SO hard to get a handle on it, especially where driving is concerned. I have had similar experiences, to the point that I had to leave my job...
Well, I may be a little late on this, as you may already be there, but Good luck! Shake your booty momma! :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: I wish I could be there with you! Maybe it would help me, but then...
Thank you so much for the kind words Lisa. It really does help in times like these. I'm just trying to hang in there on this med and hope to God it helps me again. I'm feeling quite anxious at the...
Cornell, I am the same way. I have extreme health anxiety when it comes to my heart. I was only stating that I can't blame her for feeling anxious about it, because me personally, I would be in a...
S.C.! Thank you for just "popping in"! I have missed you guys too! There's just been so much going on that I put myself in my little bubble. I have a tendency to do that, so please forgive me for...
I have the same problem with allergies. It's not so much the "room spinning" kind of vertigo, but I can just be sitting there, and all of the sudden I feel like I'm falling, or sometimes it feels...
Thank you Lisa! It was a very hard thing for me to go through, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. We were told he had 3-6 months, and 49 days later, he was gone. He fell, and started his...
Cornell, I'm NOT trying to worry her! I understand, from other's posts to her anyway, that she was cleared by a cardiologist, and that there is nothing wrong with her heart. I'm just letting her know...
TMA, Just curious as to whether your cardiologist recommended a beta blocker for you? Reason being, mine tried to give me a Beta Blocker because my heart rate was 106, when they hooked me up to the...
Hi all, I'm definitely not new to the forum, and not new to Zoloft either. BUT.... I'm not sure if it's just been so long since I've taken it (this is my 5th time on it), or if I just can't tolerate...
Stresshead, It is possible to have a seizure without having epilepsy. Like the others have said already, it could have something to do with your meds, or it could be a one time occurrence. The reason...
:cry: :cry: :cry: I was just coming on to check in, and to see how everyone is doing. I really have no words... my thoughts and prayers are going out to Kitt and her family in this very difficult...
Thank you Beth, and Lisa! The thoughts and prayers are most definitely appreciated. I'm just taking things one day at a time. I think with all of the stress I've been under, and having to remain so...
Thank you SC! You don't know how good it feels to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Everyone else was saying I am "overreacting". But the way I look at it, is people deal with things...
I just had a colonoscopy a few months ago to rule out Crohn's and UC, and trust me, the most disturbing part of it all is the "prep". I was not anxious at all really when I went in. It felt like no...
Thank you all so very much! It means the world to me to have such an awesome support group that I can come to when I'm overwhelmed like this. I'm not sure why it's hitting me so hard now, three weeks...
SC, I'm so very sorry to hear this! Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and her family. (((Many Hugs))) Fox...
Sorry I haven't been on to keep you all updated. I've been super busy since finding out my dad had cancer, trying to spend as much time with him as I could. On August 6 (my birthday :sad: ), my dad...
Thanks so much everyone! Yesterday went pretty well, we had a picnic type party for him at my sister's house, but he did have to leave early because he started feeling sick again. He did stay for...
Kitt, You are one of the greatest people I've ever known since coming to this forum, and I want you to know that you are ALWAYS in my prayers my dear friend. I thank you so much for all of the...
Thank you so much everyone. It really did take a lot for me to sit and even write that out. It felt like a confirmation of "Yes, your dad is dying". Even though I KNOW this, for me to sit here and...
Ok, so as most of you know (I think?), I was in the process of moving a few months ago and couldn't be on here that much. We moved back to our home town on April 30th because something kept telling...
No withdrawals to worry about. You have to be taking a benzo on a daily basis, for a month straight at least, in order to have any type of withdrawal from it. You're good! :)...
Oh No SC! I wasn't talking about you! I just didn't want to hijack Kitt's post with my own troubles. I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. I will post shortly about what I've been going through,...
