Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
anyone on cymbalta, buspar and wellbutrin for depression going through PE recovery? Depression taking a stronger grip at this time?

My doctor had me on cymbalta for fibromyalgia treatment. I recently switched over to Celexa because of insurance. I am on wellbutrin for the depression. I also take another antidepressant, trazodone, for sleeping issues. Surviving a PE does weird things to the phsychi. I never really dealt with depression & anxiety until after. Even with so many good things in my life, it is like I can not help it. I hope this helps.

Well at first my doctor prescribe Paxil and I'm not a medication taker and I had a horrible reaction to it, just from one little pill, I talked to my GP and we dicussed I'm not depressed, it was situations that made me anxious, I didn't want something I had to take everyday and so he did prescribe Buspar, I had heard about it from my son's doctor who prescribes it to her teen patients, very mild anti-anxiety pill, since I don't tolerate medication well he gave me 5mg tablets, I can take like 6 in a day, but I haven't had to take any yet, I think I'm finally coming out of this fog I've been in during the last month. Just knowing I have something "if" I need it helps and I only need to take it "if" I need, not everyday.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
