I would like to suggest a category, possibly under dermatology, for Hidradenitis Suppurativa (also known as H.S.,, Verneuil's disease, etc). This is a skin disease that is painful an can be debilitating, affecting up to 4% of the population. It causes painful abscesses/cysts/boils in the underarm, breast, buttocks, and groin areas. It is often misdiagnos...
Vicodin did this for me also, that's why now that I've stopped taking it I'm back at square one with my anxiety. This med made me feel GREAT... for a while. Then naturally my tolerance grew and not only did it not help with my anxiety/lack of motivation/Erv, it didn't help with my pain either. It's a med meant for pain relief, the eup...
also, I often distract myself from the intrusive thoughts, but as soon as I think about my stressors they come back, so I end up not dealing with my stressors, so any advice on that would help too. Thanks anyone for any responses!
Does anyone else have trouble with intrusive scary thoughts? My pdoc considers them part of my OCD (as opposed to my other anxiety disorders) because I obsessivley worry about them. They are horrific and terrifying, things I don't want to think about that scare me more than anything. I recently lost my insurance so I'm not currently in therapy. I&#x...
I went through that with my pregnancy, I was told to stop xanax cold turkey (which we now know is dangerous) and the anxiety was awful. I was on zoloft but the anxiety was still very bad. It does get better! By my second trimester I was feeling a lot better. Therapy helped a LOT, I didn't use xanax again for over a year after my daughter was born. That w...
Benzo withdrawal can be life threatening, you may want to go o the ER if you ran out early. If your script isn't lasting the month there's a problem. Are you to take it "as needed" and your dr didn't predict how much you'd need? or is it like "1 tablet twice daily"? If it's that, then you're taking more than p...
I think you have more going on than anxiety and may need a forum more equipt to deal with your issue.
I don't have much time to post, but you asked if anyone else has been through this. I have several anxiety disorders (I think 6 of the 7), and my anxiety was/still kind of is a lot like yours. Mine started with obsessing over a health issue, when that didn't scare me anymore, I'd fear another health issue, a scarier one to me, and I'd feel...
This sounds like a panic attack, but you've got to be EXTRA careful when you're pregnant, so if I were you id see my dr as soon as he could get me in and explain what you're feeling to rule out anything physical.
Are you in therapy? Meds only treat the symptoms, not the cause. I was extremely panicky and anxious during pregnancy (far more t...
Thanks for your response. I know seasonal depression kicks in for many people this time of year, I would guess it's like that with anxiety too for some. I'm sorry for your loss. My grandparents pretty much raised me and my grandfather passed 4 days after Christmas and Christmas day was the last day he remembered who I was. I live in the northern par...
