Close Obesity
AFTER LIFETIME OF UPS AND DOWNS; BODY IS FREAKING OUT AT OVER 300 POUNDS AND I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO SURVIVE ONE DAY TO NEXT WITH MYRIAD OF ISSUES. MARRIED, STEP KIDS ARE GROWN-NOT IN HOUSE- HAVE VERY DEVOTED HUSBAND WHO SUPPORTS ANY DECISION I MAKE IN RE TO HEALTH- IF ONLY I COUDL ACTUALLY STICK TO A DECISION! MAYBE SHARING WITH OTHERS IN SAME BOAT WILL HELP ME NOT FEEL SO ALONE.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I CANNOT EAT SUGAR OR REFINED CARBS AT ALL - WHEN I FOLLOWED THIS DIET, I LOST OVER 70 POUNDS AND FELT GREAT... WHEN I WENT OFF; RETURN THE 70 POUNDS PLUS 30 MORE...
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- JUST JOINED A CURVES FITNESS CENTER UP THE STREET. BENTHERE 3 TIMES NOW. THE LAST TIME I WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE CIRCUIT TWICE. I HAVE HOPE.
Close Panic Attacks
HAD PANIC ATTACKS FROM WHEN I WAS QUITE YOUNG, ONLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE; THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY! OFF AND ON THERAPY FOR VARIOUS MANIFESTATIONS OF ANXIETY; DEPRESSION, ETC. TRYING TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE I DONT HAVE TO CARRY MEDICATION EVERY WHERE I GO, OR HAVE PANIC ATTACKS OUT OF NOWHERE, FOR NO APPARENT REASON (SO FRUSTRATING!) I HAVE CHANGED JOBS, MOVED TO OTHER PLACES, AVOIDED SOCIALIZING; ALL JUST TO KEEP SOME SENSE OF "CALM" OR "SAFETY" IN PLACE. THIS IS A DEBILITATING DISEASE.
Treatments
- Ativan Not Working
- MAJOR AGITATION
- BuSpar Somewhat Helpful
- ON AND OFF; I THINK ITS MORE A "MAINTENANCE' DRUG
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- USED IT FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS; STOPPED BEING EFFECTIVE.
- Paxil Not Working
- TRIED IT COUPLE YEARS; STOPPED BEING USEFUL
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- sORT OF GETTING BACK INTO IT; I THINK IT WOULD HELP ME TO CONTINUE THIS ROUTE...
- Seroquel Not Working
- AGITATION AGAIN
- Xanax Working / Worked
- USED THIS FOR YEARS. NEW DR FELT IT WAS TOO ADDICTIVE TO KEEP USING/BUT ITS VERY VERY EFFECTIVE AND FAST WORKING.
- Zoloft Not Working
- TRIED IT/NO APPARENT CHANGE
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- THIS IS WHAT I TAKE NOW; AFTER A SLEW OF OTHER STUFF. IT HOLDS THE MANIC STUFF AT BAY ON BOTH SIDES; BUT IT'S NOT REALLY "STRONG" ENOUGH TO MAKE IT STOP ALTOGETHER...
- Serax Working / Worked
- USE IT AS NEEDED; WAS THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE XANAX**
- Inderal Working / Worked
- ANOTHER USE AS NEEDED TYPE OF HELP. IT DOES HELP A LITTLE.
