I am 4 hours late on my meds. Took them. I was wondering why I felt so messed up. I still have 2 dosses left to take but, now I am off schedule. Feel a little off kilter so to speak. How should I manage this? What's your experiences? When should I take my other doses?

What works for you. What are examples accepted in the field. Looking to add some.

A situation this last weekend triggered me. I'm having intrusive thoughts, trimmers, emotional crying spells, metabolism is ramped up, nightmares in the few hours before I wake up, nerve pain through my body. I also feel pains in my head. This sounds like a lot of symptoms but, they are...

Is there a range that people have experienced? Also.. What are your best coping strategies?

I'm switching from Ativan to Klonopin. I've read some equivalence tables that seem to conflict with what my pdoc said and a very experienced person in another forum (an Anthony type). I just want some opinions on equivalent doses. Save the recommendations of not taking them or doing what the...

I know it's common but, I want some pointers on how to avoid gaining more weight and maybe taking off some of it. I tried going off of it but that is not going to happen. I am pretty immobile the 1st 3 hours of the day. After that I can do something. I am cutting all sweets out of my diet...

I get that meds are different for everybody. Just seeing what others are doing. Fire away, please.

My level of anxiety keeps rising with no relief. I keep upping the meds for only temporary results. They start to ware down and it's extreme symptoms again. Then coming off of it quadruples the symptoms that already nearly send me over the edge. The last thing I want to do is bring...

I wake up to hell every morning and it peaks around 11:30. Then it starts to very slowly dissipate as my drugs start to kick in. Usually ending around 3pmish. Symptoms include hypertension, intrusive thoughts, crying spells, tremors or shaking. Then after 6 it really winds down. Between...

Does anyone either take or have had experience with these? I can't take ssri's. Maybe there is one out there for me.

How hard is it to come off that dose? I have been taking 15 mg remeron for about 9 months. I take it with 600 mg of trileptal and 1mg prazosin at bedtime. I also take 1mg of Ativan twice a day.. Morning and late afternoon. My pdoc says to go off of it as I am feeling way to drowsy in the...

Was on tripleptal and it wasn't doing anything but, making me tired. I am on neurontin for head pain, anxiety and ptsd. Can't take ssri's. Also lorazepam as needed. Propranolol as needed and remeron at bedtime. Blah blah blah... Which one of these f*cking medications is gonna work...

I experienced a huge panic attack after getting worked up. It lasted into the next day. I then experienced uncontrollable shaking. Like the dt's when you drink to much. After this I noticed that part of my frozen trauma was gone. I had a near regular day after I got some sleep. Woke up the...

I have experienced them lately. They have been extremely vivid and frightening. I know they are stupid but, what is the best way to handle them? If you feel comfortable.. Feel free to give an example. I've been dissociative for a while.

I'm not functioning. Just curious how many other people are debilitated to this point. Or if you are supporting someone who is to this capacity. Feel free to list examples of symptoms that keep it this way. Maybe even people who have been this way before and were able to over come it...

I have intrusive thoughts that I am trying to get over. I understand how you are supposed to handle them. I still feel the body pain that are associated with them. If so.. does this symptom subside? Anxiety type of pain. I am trying not to respond, agree or disagree with them. I guess its...

How do you contain this symptom? I feel it every day to some extent. It takes any type of arousal to the extreme. What type med have you found works best with this? I can't get sexually aroused without having a panic attack start. Its painful. Not cool. This releases adrenaline in spades...

I just liked the way this read. It may not be new to any of us but, its a well written reminder of whats possible.... Survivors of traumatic experiences are often told, Its in the past. Forget about it and get on with your life, Why cant you just forget about all that, and enjoy life like a...

Just curious if anyone has had any experience with taking them. I have a pretty bad adrenaline rush when I experience anything that causes a stress reaction.

When I get the least bit worried about something.. I get this severe adrenaline or cortisol rush. As if there is no longer a threshold. I'm not sure which it is? Does anyone experience this? It is very painful and frightening. If so.. Does this symptom subside? Does your level of internal...

What is the best way to get through it? Through the darkest of periods?

Does the shock part at least taper off? Its amazing. I get super worked up over things I simply assume. This accompanied with an extreme butter fly that goes from the pit of my stomach to the top right side of my brain. The brain feeling is a burning sensation. Its horrible. As if there is...

Not like head aches. Tension. Like your head is pulsating. Unusual head clinching or tightness on the side and top. Between the eyes and up the middle of my forehead. Hell just anything unusual in the cranial area. I'm experiencing these symptoms that know one has ever heard of or can seem...

I was just prescribed this by my p-doc. 600 mg twice a day. What should I expect?

I have it in my head, neck, shoulders, and arms. It causes me to have a nerve twitch that is pretty pronounced. I was starting to turn the corner and felt way better. Then I had a day I was real tired. The next day, I felt a weird sensation in my head. I got angry and went into fight or...
