roll call 43

well i was supposed to see my sister today for an early birthday celebration but im really sick.

on the other hand im having really extreme anxiety right now. so its like double the crap thats going on right now.

That sucks, sorry you are ill & anxious...

Is that your or your sister's birthday you are talking about?

My bike is in storage. I so wanted to use it but I can't leave it outside here, and I can't carry it up and down the long flight of stairs. I loved riding my bike a few years ago. I wish I could get those days back.

thanks
its my sisters birthday.
i havent finished her present either

As my last semester approaches for my Associate's, I'm looking for a hospital laboratory position since I will only be taking humanities next semester which will be an a easy semester. I also made breakfast today for my bf and I and picked up a bit.

Sorry to hear angelique. I have to carry mine up two flights of stairs and it's a pain in the arse.

Yes. Unfortunately it doesn't work as well as I'd like. Propranolol seems to be far more effective. Like without it I would not be able to sit and type coherently like I can right now. Akathisia is a nasty little devil. I've had it before, thankfully it's not nearly on the level it was last time. Right now it's manageable, going to keep it that way and call my doctor to tinker with my meds since it's a horrible idea to do that yourself(voice of experience here).

I don't feel so well. My antidepression that I use to block panic attacks isn't working well this past week. Today it feels like my full range of emotions are back. I feel like I could have a panic attack any moment. All I did was change pharmacies. Is their version of Lexapro (SSRI) that much different from the other pharmacy I went to? Phew! My heart is racing. My palms and feet are sweating and cold because all the blood is going to my heart. My eyes are wide open, I can't relax. What is going on with me. I'm out of balance.

Try to focus on the fact that right now, everything is OK. Just in the moment, nothing bad is really happening. I used to have different reactions to switched generics of some meds too. Fortunately not recently though, but when I did, my body still accepted the new generic enough so that I didn't have withdrawal or discontinuation problems.

Have you ever tried chamomile tea? There are certain kinds of tea that are made to help reduce anxiety and I actually use one that helps a lot.

I can certainly say that different generics can absorb faster or slower depending on fillers. I switched Citalopram brands & I ended up getting nausea like I did when I first started / went up a dose for a day or two! In theory they should all be the same but that's not the case.

It should be back working fully again soon.

hearing lots of voices right now

i hope you people get better from feeling sick, my problem lately is that i sleep in the day and am awake all night. any suggestions

Anxiety sucks

Hope it gets better

Yurp!!!!!!!!

I'm anxious all the time.

the only time im not anxious is when im sleeping

I'm sorry.

Do you have a anything to combat it? Congentin, benadryl or inderal?

Saw that you answered. Yeah inderal/proponanol helped me the most too.

Another panic attack night. To cope tonight I told my mom the story of Goethe's Faust Part one and two. She thinks I should write the screen play lol She's cute. On a serious note, I took a second 1mg Klonopin and it's not working very well. I feel fear in my heart. I'm on edge. jThese panic attacks are starting to wear me down, and I can only talk to my mother for so long. I see my psychologist tomorrow. We're going to review coping mechanisms I'm betting. My PDoc better call me tomorrow. This constitutes an emergency in my book. Something went dreadfully wrong with my meds. I'm going to count the stucco on my ceiling now until I get to a thousand. brb.

That really sucks, I hope you get it sorted tomorrow.....do you know why you felt OK yesterday?

This all started when I came off of Wellbutrin and BAM Panic attack city. Sometimes in the mornings, sometimes in the evenings. Usually I would have extreme anxiety from 8am until 12pm. Then one day the anxiety never stopped... It increased as the day went on and I thought I was having a heart attack. I called the suicide hotline asking what I should do because I had no clue what was happening and I had no insurance. They said you should go to the hospital if it's getting worse. I found out it was a panic attack. And Then the next day I had another one. Then the next morning I had one. and it became a regular thing and My doctor gave me Klonopin to fight them while the SSRI would start to kick in.

So yeah, my doc thinks that Wellburtin caused all of this, and now Ill be fighting it for the rest of my life. The good thing is is that I need an antidepressant anyway, and they treat anxiety too. So it kills two birds with one stone. It still sucks but it's treatable.

my whole body feels like its drying up from dehydration or something

My arse is hurting so much from biking yesterday. I'm guna have to force myself to endure the pain so I can go out again today

Wonder why I listen to my dentist more than my doctor.
