I had the fusion and XLIF surgery last November. The simulator wasn't an option because my vertebra formina ( holes the nerves feed through) were closing and I had drop foot. I only needed 8 PT sessions and 6 weeks of not lifting my toddler and I'm fine now. The only draw back is that I can only...

I take Lamictal 600 mg, Prazosin 2 mg, Clonazepam 2 mg, Zanaflex 4 mg, and the occasional Lorazepam 1mg (usually prior to exposure therapy sessions.

I have C-PTSD, GAD and Mood Disorder NOS. Plus some insomnia and a degenerative spinal issue. I've had an XLIF and an L4-L5 fusion and I'm not even 30 :(

This is SO true. Having another life dependent on your puts things in perspective no matter how much you're hurting.

My daughter saved my life and I can't wait until she's old enough for me to thank her for it. I was at rock bottom when I got pregnant. The benzo addiction has been an on and off thing since 2008 and the Dilaudid started after spinal surgery ( oh the irony),last November and I was able to kick...

Over the past eight years, I've struggled with benzo, dilaudid and heroin. I use them to dissociated and I'm currently two years clean thanks to my two year old daughter but the cravings are coming back to me and hitting me hard. Should I speak with my therapist before my next appointment? Go...

I had memory loss on effexor (which I combated with list making and entirely too many post its.) The Paxil memory loss was the worst for me.

Thanks Casper. I think I'll be okay going up on the dose now that I see others are fairing alright!

Candleflames, it's been a godspend here too. Since I was on Ambien for years, I was not ever getting actual sleep, when I do with the Prazosin. The only down side is that my nightmares have come on in full force. But my therapist says it's good for exposure therapy. whispering: I am sorry it...

My now husband had a lot of anger issues back when I first told him. I was straightforward and told him exactly what happened. He went to therapy with me to understand what he could do to help me for a while. But he stuck by me through drug addiction and he's never stopped supporting me, which I...

Thanks Whispering. I'll keep that in mind :) Its always been hard, having been actually with one of them but I'm in a very safe relationship now and my husband is very supportive, but he's gone a lot for for work.

I'm not a veteran ( thank you for your service). Nightmares have been a steady side effect but my therapist has been using them for exposure therapy. I'll take that into considerations before switching. thank you!

I dated this guy Blake from January of 2007 graduation in 2007 until October of that year; our family's had known each other all our lives. He was pretty amazing. Rich, handsome, kind of an asshole. He had a twin brother. They got me into all sorts of drugs, money, partying and sexual insanity...

I started it in conjunction with my Lamictal and my Clonazepam and I finally was able to sleep without any hypnotic medications. It's also helped with daily anxiety levels. I was wondering if anyone has had side effects increase at the higher dosage? My doctor is about to move me from 2mg to 4mg.

I am a twenty-something, female survivor of a stalking, kidnapping and sexual assault. It's been nearly 8 years since it happened, but medicine, therapy and justice still aren't allowing me to live my life. I'm looking to connect with people that understand how I feel. I look around and friends...
