    • About Me

      I'm 20 years old with a 19 month old daughter. I have had OCD and anxiety disorder since before she was born...and since I can even remember. But, three years ago it came on strong and very noticable to everyone around me. I am currently seeking help and I have a small support group behind me. I joined hoping to have an even bigger support group. If you'd like to know more...feel free to ask or read my journal. :)

      I have horrible panick attacks and also have OCD.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      I switched to lexapro after Paxil. It had just about the same effects.
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      It was like speed for me and lasted about 2 weeks. After that I went back to being ...blah.

    • Open Family & Friends of Cancer Patients

      I just lost my grandmother this past april to cancer. She suffered for a year before it took her life.

    • Open GERD & Heartburn

      I was just recently diagnosed with GERD and also have horrible heartburn. I have been in horrible pain since I've been diagnosed and have yet to find a medication that helps with all the pain.

      Treatments

      Antacids Somewhat Helpful
      It helps to ease the burning for a short time.
      Carafate Somewhat Helpful
      I take it in the mornings an hour before I eat anything. It helps for a bit...but near the end of the day the pain is almost too much to handle.
      Prevacid Somewhat Helpful
      I now take 30mg of the prevacid once a day. It helps with the heartburn to an extent.
      Prilosec Somewhat Helpful
      I took 25mg twice a day and it helped a little with the heartburn.
    • Open Panic Attacks

      I have OCD, anxiety disorder, and with those come the panic attacks.
