well, my experience with topamax has come to an abrupt end. I spent roughly a week trying to tough it out with my legs feeling totally crazy and my anxiety way out of control before I couldn't stand...
I have to question what I last wrote. Yes, stuff has been going on in my family and I thought that resonsible for the other things I was feeling, BUT, I deal with RLS and it has been out of this...

I have a thread on topamax further down the list - I go to the doctor today as it is the two week follow up appt, I've been on 50mg for this entire week. I feel fine, but I've had this dull headache...
I'm confused, I guess I thought that radiation would the first choice to shrink the tumor because I understood that chemo would knock out all the cells in her body, good and bad, to get rid of all...
Hi there - I understand what you mean about being stuck and it's just you. I was just emailing a former therapist of mine when I used to live in KS and telling him about how I used to be and how I...
Hi - this is about a friend of mine - she had a mammogram in October and it came back clear...in November she found a lump in her breast but she had a wedding come up and Christmas and she decided to...
Well, today is the day I start with 50mg, sounds measly with your 400mg, but I can't imagine having migraines for 30 years, NOR can I imagine a doctor that would give me a med like stadol to carry...
I took Cymbalta for a time, no major side effects, but I honestly didn't notice anything different in my life. I decided to stop it, and nothing really changed for me. One thing I want to mention...
Well, happy news, this is the first morning in I don't know how many that I did NOT wake up with a headache...and I do have some congestion (my oldest son has mono and my hubby has strep but he's...
I went into the dentist's office just two weeks ago because I thought I was going to need a referral to the endodontist for a root canal - it turned out that one of my teeth, in their ever moving...
I hope so,I've gone to my control panel and it's all there like it's supposed to be, but it doesn't come out that way! and it's done this for several days now. oh well. at least it signs my name,...
what is wrong with m y signature????...
I would agree with Elisha, Andrew, but I would make sure that the psychiatrist you see does work with young adults your age. I recently took my daughter for a phsych eval (she's 12) and what I...
Please don't worry about being negative, I want to know the good the bad and the ugly. I was doing some research and there is just so much that can be written and then you need to include the human...
I just picked up the full prescription today (they had to transfer pharmacies so I had one a day since Friday) and it said take one a day for a week and then two twice daily...they can't be taken...

Hi there - usually post on the lupus forum and fibro (well, anxiety and depression lately too, I'm just all over I guess), but I've been having problems with headaches, I suppose there's been a lot...
You asked a profound question - how do I feel joy...I agree with elisha, every person's experience of what joy is like is personal. I, too, have high expectations of myself (and others) and when they...
my mother deals with depression, my brother does as well. I don't know about my father, he wasn't part of my growing up years. one of my other brothers dealt with situational depression. I believe if...
I hear you loud and clear about docs being so darn careful for what they give patients these days, it's as if those that do abuse the system and try and get lots of drugs hurt those of us that truly...
Just wanted to give an update that yesterday's session went very well. Gaby seemed to really hit it off with this lady and is looking forwrad to her next session, she didn't want yesterday's to end,...
Well, today is the big day that I take my daughter out of school and meet with the social worker. I hope this is all I need it to be, and all Gaby needs it to be. I realize we didn't get this way...
Thank you Bekah ****hugs****...
Thanks for the sharing again - there are so many sides to consider in this whole experience, I really don't know which end is up right now. I did make an appt for my daughter with the psych. for next...
I just wanted to give a quick update - my daughter has a psych evaluation next Friday...I don't know if she needs meds or not, and i don't even know what meds they give to 12 year olds? Does anyone...
Again, thank you so much for your words of experience for me. I am really trying to work this through, trying to stay in the moment and not lost in everything. I am glad Thursday is over! But I think...
Thanks so much for all the replies - wow - I had to come to the site to see, it didn't come to my inbox to let me know. It's hard not to blame myself, I have to get over that. Thanks, Bekah, for...
I am usually on the lupus forum, and haven't even been on for a long time, so much stuff going on here. I have just been rudely awakened by finding out that my daughter is depressed and cutting...
Liza, I have no words, but I promise you, I will hug my children every day - I have my own Michael, my little bunnyboy, he's 8. Children are precious. My prayers are with you, remember, you, too, are...
My psychiatrist was very nice yesterday, and he told me too, that he didn't think a sleep study would be completely necessary (I doubt the military health insurance would spring for it, but it would...
Also, I looked up the word "pensioner" and I don't get what you mean, I ask because 40 is on my horizon, sooner rather than later (I am 38) and I think I am already beginning that reflection on my...
I am seeing my pschiatrist on Thurday, can anyone tell me what kind of questions to ask him? What should I be looking for? I do have a rheumy, but she said to continue seeing the psychiatrist and...
