I have tried Trazadone several times and it doesn't work. We've been pretty much thru all sleeping pills too. I've become resistant to anything with a benzo base to it, which Halcion and many other sleeping pills have. I've been using 20mg of Melatonin and think that has helped me. One of...

I just drank a small glass of Diet Pepsi. Can't drink too much caffeine this late (7pm) as I've also not been sleeping for the past week. I was taking Rozerem sleeping pills, but they stopped working so another med gone. I had a script for Halcion sleeping pills which also didn't work, but I...

What I did was take a 10mg pill again today. I loaded my week's worth of meds case today and took a 10mg Celexa and used my pill cutter and tried to cut it in half as best I could. It was hard as it's a 20mg pill that I've been cutting in half to get the 10mg and a small pill to begin with...

I've been on Celexa for maybe 10 years. I've been on a low dose for the last years (10mg). Met with my psychiatrist last week (5 days ago) and felt pretty good and optimistic. I take so many meds and am ready to get off of some. I take 300mg of Seroquel so we lowered that down to 200mg. I...

Withdrawals are the worst. There's a benzo website that tells you how to detox off of them. My psychiatrist (pdoc) wants me off the Klonopin and earlier this year initially told me it would be hell but I had to get off. That's really not something one wants to hear (is it?), and he didn't...

Back in 2003 I was taking Klonopin like it was candy. I got upset with H in Sept. and took 3mg and went to bed to escape the pain. Got upset again in October and took something like 6mg. Had a breakdown November 15th after a week from hell at work, plus numerous other stressors and took 56mg...

Welcome, I'm fairly new to the forum also.

I decided I need to have nothing else planned for EMDR therapy days just to give myself time to recover. I want to add that after the death of our Pomeranian I knew I could never get another pet. Probably 8 years past, my children got older and started pestering me to get a dog. After much...

At the beginning of our therapy session yesterday we started talking about my cat's death, which led to the death of my other pets. I don't even remember what our Target was when we started doing the EMDR, but I know we had one. I have terrible remorse/guilt over the way I treated my cat. I...

I didn't read all the responses to your post so apologize if someone has already said this. My feelings are since you've invested over 3 years with this therapist I wouldn't be so hasty to just throw it all down the drain. Has she helped you overall? Did you trust her before this email? I'd...

I can definitely relate to your post. I have been on antidepressants (Celexa and before that Zoloft) and mood stabilizers (Trileptal and before that Lamictal) for over 10 years. I felt zero emotions and remember thinking that if something drastic, say one of my children dying, I would feel...

This week (3 day ago) we didn't do EMDR during therapy. I read her what I posted here about how traumatic the EMDR sessions have been and how hard it's been to recover from them and we just talked. I've been trying to remember what we talked about, but for the life of me I can't remember. But...

We didn't do EMDR this week, just talked and I read her what I posted here so we had a lot to discuss. I will this out. Thanks.

Thank you for your replies. It's helpful. EMDR is new to me. I've only been doing it a couple months. It's not my therapist bringing up these thoughts. In fact she says as little as possible. I do EMDR using headphones and listening to tones. She sits to my side. I close my eyes and...

My therapist wants me to stay on track with the target we're working on, which is a sexual abuse experience that happened in my 20's. We're trying to get to the root of it and I have had extreme flashbacks to when I was around 5 and being held down and raped by at least 3 boys. During our...

This is so wonderful. Congratulations!

Thank you. I just want to start feeling again so I can explore those feelings and start healing. I see my psychiatrist (who I love) on Tuesday and at my last visit he said we needed to stay focused on med management as I was telling him all about my therapy sessions and taking up too much of...

Saw my therapist last week and was finally able to discuss my meltdown from the previous week's session. I was feeling more stable after getting back on my Trileptal med I had forgotten to take the previous week. She described how she witnessed my rage meltdown consisting of ranting and raving...

Does she work for a larger practice? If so she probably has a supervisor to answer to. I know it will cause you serious anxiety (it would me), but I would report her. She's damaging her patients. You've escaped spending another minute with this nut job, but she needs to be reported. I...

I'm on so many meds I could be a pharmacy. I just had a sleep study two weeks ago and typed up a letter listing all my meds as there wasn't enough room on their form. I take Klonopin for anxiety and sleep and am now trying to cut down my dose, but it's a benzo (like lorazepam) and almost...

I just started EMDR recently with a new therapist (since April). We spent the 1st two months just getting to know each other. She doesn't do traditional EMDR. I put headphones on and listen to tones which go back and forth. R ear, L ear. I set the speed and volume of the tones. She never...

I made a huge discovery last night. After I saw the doctor on Monday to go over the results of my sleep study I decided to put my pills in my pill case to better keep track of my progress. Normally I just keep them in a certain order in my drawer. Well last night I poured my night time meds...

I honestly never put the two and two together that it could be coming off the meds cold turkey. Esp, the ADHD med (Vyvanse). I really didn't think it was working, but the other night I was out at a party (minus H) and found myself wanting to talk and laugh a lot more then usual, or more then I...

I know it sounds crazy but really do feel I've stepped up my therapy by months. I've gotten more out of therapy with this Tdoc, and our EMDR sessions then the last 11+ years in traditional therapy.

Thank you so much for replying. You gave me some great advice and I'd love for you to PM me what happened to you this morning. Feeling so grateful for finding this site as I have nobody to talk to between sessions. I'd go everyday if I could.
