    Why Are Symptoms So Strong In The Am To Mid Afternoon?

    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...

    Any Tricyclic Anti-depressants Work For Ptsd?

    I went to a trauma therapist and she felt like she wasn't helping me after 5 months. I have to find something that stabilizes me. Some concoction that doesn't involve SSRI's.

    Want To Go Off 15 Mg Of Remeron. Need Suggestions.

    I don't think my sleep would be effected. Trileptal and Prazosin make me sleep hard enough. I take the benzo after about 2 hours of being awake. I can see how it can make me sleepy at bedtime but is not the issue. I just don't feel remeron is doing anything for me accept making me gain...

    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...

    Mirtrazapine, Venlafaxine, Quitiapine ;-0

    I never had nightmares. I'm on other meds also. Coming off trileptal while going on neurontin. I also take Ativan everyday and propranolol as needed. My psych doctor wants me to go off the mirtaz but, neurologist said I would have increased anxiety that I just can't take. So many meds.

    Extreme Shaking. Uncontrollable.

    I was definitely triggered. I noticed cognitive improvements. My lower teeth are no longer stuck to the back of my upper teeth. I wish I would have kept it up instead of taking a beta blocker and a benzo. I thought I was losing it on Friday. Yesterday was wonderful. I didn't wake up...

    Extreme Shaking. Uncontrollable.

    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...

    How Many People Are On A Daily Benzo?

    And of corse now I'm dependent. I guess it's back to kolonopin. Longer lasting. Unlike Ativan which is fast acting with a short half life. Like crack. I really wish that I responded well to ssri's. I have a huge battle on my hands.
