It's funny that you say that. I have alarms for the last two pill doses but, not for the 1st. Duh. It's normally the 1st thing I do each day. I got sidetracked this morning. I freaked out because this is the 1st time I missed that dose. Also, my brain was feeding my panic with the "what...

I take 300 mg of Trileptal and 2mg of Ativan at 11:30 am. Then I take 2mg of Ativan at 4:30 pm. Then 600 mg of trileptal, 15 mg of remeron, 1mg prazosin at 11:30 pm. I took the first one at 3:30 pm.

It says take it as soon as you remember it. Which I did. However I take 2 drugs together on my 1st dose and just 1 on my 2nd 4 hours later. Then I take 3 drugs including my 2nd dose of the original before bed time. I'm waiting on my T to call me back.

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?

I've been having a rough couple of weeks. On the 17th of July had a medical scare in the family which turned out to be a false alarm. Still it sent my adrenaline into a frenzy. I experienced symptoms and crying spells for each of the next 2 days. Was ok but, not great from the 20th-24th...

Well, here we go again. I woke up with tension in between my eyes. I was also tired. Just crabby. I started to feel disassociative. Then anxiety. Tremors started to occur. I could feel my body going into yet another crying spell. Lasted for 30 minutes. Only this time.. I'm not sure what...

Thanks to cupfish and junebug. Today was a bit touch and go. I was fine until the late afternoon then the symptoms bubbled to the surface again. Had another crying spell. Then felt off kilter for a few hours after that. Even for a bit after my hour and 15 min excersise routine. The mid...

Well I have been doing ok since I last posted. A total of 3 crying spells that didn't linger into the next day. I thought things might be heading in a positive direction but... I had something frustrating happen on Thursday which caused symptoms to occur. It caused a crying spell. Then I...

Had a stressor the other day do in part to a dream. It was intense. It's made me edgy for a couple of days. This includes an intense feeling of dread that's not normal. It's motivated by the feeling that I no longer have things to look forward to compared to the past because of my...

Woke up with head tension and tremors. My metabolism is cranked up. Trying to stay calm. This one is fairly intense.

The last 2 days have sucked. I got into a heated argument with a family member over something important. It's one of those times where you can't avoid the stressor. I turned out to be absolutely right about the issue with undeniable (almost embarrassing evidence). The family member doesn't...

Yep. It only got worse today with family around. My emotions built up to where I couldn't take it and burst into tears. It was a harder cry than yesterday. I've been a bit messed up since then. Maybe I went a little too hard. I hope it decides to lift soon.

Sorry to hear that cupfish. Your right about the drain. It's like our existence is a teeter totter between getting through the day and full blown trigger. Great advice from hanginon. I just had the cup tip today. It seems to happen right on cue around holidays. Family coming by tomorrow...

Saw my T today. Went over some of the dreams i've been having and what they might mean etc. I don't know if that's what caused it but by the time I got home I was a bit sad. I was starving and about to eat. Then I felt this sort of twitch on the right side of my brain. It caused a tremor...

Thanks so much for the replies. Very good advice. I have been pretty much fine until today. My cup tipped hard and I had another long crying spell. Emotions just pop up. I think I'm a classic example of the PTSD cup. I do all of the activities and therapies etc. that cupfish suggested...

Just had a crying spell. Things have been getting to me lately. I guess it's been a while since my last episode. I've even had a few stressors that I have been able to work through. I guess the cup has to tip sometimes.

Got some bad news today and I am at the beginning of a trigger. Had a crying spell. Putting the issue in perspective has helped. I feel so helpless in these situations. Of course my brain has to fly off the handle when stressors come up. That sucks. I guess I'm just whining to the choir...

Cry spell again today. It's anxiety from anticipating an event or, watching something sad or bad news. My brain is sensitive to these things. Sometimes on its more intense than others. I think the cup is a good description. I just haven't figured out how to keep it at a normal depth.

Thanks for the reply. What does it feel like to be on it? Any regular or transient symptoms? What's been your experience?

Went to my T and the symptoms for the most part went away for about 3 weeks. Today the trimmers came back and I had a crying spell.. Feelings of dread. Roller Coaster. It definitely helps to stay away from negativity but, it's impossible to avoid all together. That's why I am posting today...

I can't take ssri's. What are my options? Asking your opinions in addition to asking my doctor. So let me know what you think. This weight has to go. Is there an easy transition one? I hear mirt is hard to go off of. Also.. I walk fast for 35 minutes and stationary bike for 30.

Any fresh prospectives on the subject? Still having trouble. What's a good exercise routine that's helped?

That's very nice of you. Thanks and will do.

This has lasted awhile now. I've had a few days of peace hear and there but, the symptoms keep coming back. It's like my brain is super sensitive right now. The tension is a major factor. I don't know what to do. I have these doom and gloom thoughts. Experiencing a lot of regrets. My...

Once again I'm in the same situation. Tremors are more intense this time. Crying spells. Head tension. Metabolism is increased.. I had a pretty bad nightmare a couple of nights ago that set this one off.
