Close Panic Attacks
I was having terrible panic attacks with almost no time in between when I decided I couldn't go on like that. I went to see a therapist and I got on paxil about 4 months ago and I am feeling much better now.
Treatments
- Paxil Working / Worked
- I am on 20 mgs. and it has been around 4 months. At first it seemed to make me jittery but now I feel pretty good. It does affect my sex life though.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- I have always been a positive person and I think with the anxiety and panic attacks it really helps.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I go approx. every other week and I quess it helps to talk. I don't know that it is making a big difference though. I think the paxil helps more.
Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Treatments
- Paxil Not Working
- Not working for the OCD but is working for panic attacks
- Relaxation Somewhat Helpful
- My therapist is helping me with exercises and it seems to be helping just a little bit but a little bit is better than not at all!
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am trying tol lose around 50 lbs. that I gained while on Paxil and also I think I am going through "the change". I am hoping that the Alli works since I am also increasing my exercise and decreasing my fat intake.
Treatments
- Alli Too Soon to Tell
- Just started it
- Curves Not Working
- thought it was a waste of money
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- LOL of course this works!
- Jenny Craig Working / Worked
- worked but you have to totally stick to it and then the trick is to keep it off. I did lose 50 lbs. on it 12 years ago but put it all back on.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I am kind of lazy so I find this very hard but definitely works if you do it!
- Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
- always hungry
Open GERD & Heartburn
Treatments
- Aciphex Working / Worked
- Worked good but my insurance wouldn't pay anymore
- Antacids Not Working
- Don't work at all for me...once I get the heartburn only time makes it better
- Nexium Working / Worked
- worked good but insurance denied this too
- Prilosec Working / Worked
- works good and I am currently taking it...20 mgs. daily
- Protonix Working / Worked
- also worked but yet again insurance decided not to pay
Open Incest Survivors
I was sexually abused by my biological father for the first 13 years of my life. At that time me and my brother went and told my mother and we left that night. My mother always blamed me (she never said it but I could feel it) for the breakup. My father is now deceased and so is my mother. I had very very shaky teenage years where I wound up on drugs and tried to commit suicide. I sought counseling and I am now a survivor. Happily married with 3 children and 5 grandchildren.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking about it helped but I still have trust issues.
