I slept but with vivid dreams so real I thought it was real life in a wacky way. I thought these dreams would go away with the lower Cymbalta dosage but I guess not. I've tried every class of antidepressants out there and this is the only one that works. So for now I'm stuck taking it and...

I feel overwhelmed as long ago symptoms are starting to re-emerge after a long absence. I know the cause is my inability to take certain medications due to side effects. The medication isn't fully out of my system yet. Where will I be at when it is?

I feel lost, used, worthless, and that everything is useless. I hope this will pass. I need to start checking out my housing options. It is a two year wait in the state I live in for disabled housing.

I feel like I dove head first off of a cliff and crashed into depression. I'm hoping this doesn't last. I also got ripped off at the ve4t's office today so I'm feeling taken advantage of. The vet took the dog in the back to do blood work and did other tests without my knowledge. When I went...

I went into my pdoc's office to talk about my high anxiety. I left with a script for lab work that had a manic episode as the diagnosis code. I am feeling very up.

I'm feeling total relief. My pdoc prescribed something different for anxiety and it is working so far.

I am feeling relief. I stopped the Seroquel and started gabapentin under my pdoc's orders all in the same night. That was last Thursday. By Sunday I was seriously suicidal, almost passed out three times, and have facial numbness. I am still having a reaction to the class of drugs Seroquel is...

@Anrish Happy Birthday!

I'm feeling validated. My pdoc actually listened to me earlier and acted in my best interest. Yes I'm allergic to zyprexa and had a bad reaction to it. But I'm also having a reaction to seroquel which is in the same class as zyprexa. So I can't take any drug from that class. I stop the...

@Anrish and Ms Spock Thanks for the well wishes and sympathy. I don't know how the manufacturers keep zyprexa on the market with the side effects it has. My family doctor increased the lasix and put me on tramadol for the pain. The tramadol worked yesterday for the pain. Finally some relief...

I am feeling anxiety and totally fed up. There is very little that can be done about my bad reaction to Zyprexa. My legs are really swollen and the pain is severe. My joints are creaking and cracking. I can't stay in one position long enough to sleep. I'm trying tramadol for the pain because...

I had a horrible night. I woke up in pain and with a really bad nightmare. I've been up since 3 am.

Another day of pure anxiety. I'm headed for a panic attack. I don't know how to stop the panic before it escalates more.

@gizmo Thanks for the hugs. I'm sending you a bunch of hugs to you. I'm feeling pure anxiety. My anti-anxiety med is not working. I see my pdoc on Thursday and hopefully she will help. Until then I'm escaping to my room where I can just sit in the quiet and block out the chaos all around me.

I woke up twice to nightmares and was really drugged from a new medication. I fell back asleep but pain woke me up. So not a good night overall.
