Hi Hopeful 224. Anytime i have a concern about my drugs and if there are side effects i always talk to my phramicist because as far as im concerned the doctor can give you the perscription but the phramicist knows what goes together and what doesn't.Just ask them if what you are taking is not healthy for you and i dont know if you have told any phramicist about your anxiety or not but i did it took me along time to tell anyone because i was so embrassed about it but the phramicist helped me to understand how the drugs worked and if they should be mixed or not.I know it would be great if we all could be drug free but as long as i can feel good and make it through aday feeling somewhat good i will take the drugs. My biggest problem is i cant sleep at night so i end up sleeping in the day which makes me feel awful that sometimes i would just like to sleep all day so i dont have to face whay lies ahead for me in the day.So hopeful try to find out about your drugs you are taking if they are safe or not then you can start to relax and have good days ahead for you.So takecare and i hope you find your answer.........plzhelpme
To Helpmeplz;
I know he feeling. I did call my dr yesterday & he
put me back on 25mg's of imipramine in addition
to 10mg's lexapro & klonopin 0.5mg if needed
(usually only take 1/2 during day & @ night). I feel a
little lightheaded today, but more hopeful! My only
concern & i'm not sure if this is because of my
worrying probem, but i'm scared of getting
serotonin toxic since i've never taken 2 antidpress.
together before.
thanks for your reply Hopeful 224. I have been off of imipramine now for along time. I take 20mgs of paxil and 1mg of clonazepam now.I know that clonazepam is very addicting put i use to be on 2mgs and i went down i did have the shakes for awhile but now i feel great.
I dont know what your anxiety and panic level is at but mine is not bad because i havent had to face my fears in about 10 yrs out of the 21 years. Cause i have been able to not have to face them because im never alone i have someone with me everyday. Now i know i have made a big mistake in not facing them that im trying to find every possible way i can to use the program and to start facing them im so scared that i cant do it and i have had panic attacks but i have not been alone to face them so it scares me to try but i cant live like this anymore. I want to live my life where i can enjoy it...............plzhelpme :8o:
i too took imipramine 75mg's & felt SO much better
than the Lexapro 10mg's that i'm on now. i can't
sleep, i'm gaining weight like crazy & have bad
muscle spasms.
thanks Loana i went and seen my doctor and im now on 30mgs of paxil and i feel not to bad he told me that there are alot of drugs out there that i could take but i feel okay on the paxil so i will try it and see what happens he gave me pills to help me sleep i havent got them yet i have always been scared to take drugs so i guess i will have to get the nerve to try them. i just feel more depressed lately i dont know if it is the paxil or me but i really appreciate your advice ...thanx plzhelpme...cathy :)
Each medicine works different for each person. So you can't go by that. Most people take paxil for panic but I couldn't take it and it made me worse. Even within the same meds sometimes the doctor has to play with the dose and see what works for you. I take Celexa and at a low dose is made me anxious. This other girl started Celexa at the same time as I did and with the low dose she was really sleepy. So see, there is no miracle drug. Hopefully we can all find doctors who listen and are willing to try things until they find the right medicine for us. Good luck tomorrow.
hi it's me again tomorrow i go and see a new doctor and right now im on 20mgs of paxil a day and 10 mgs of clonazepam and my panic seems to be worse.I use to take 130mgs of imipramine aday and 20 mgs of clonazepam and i felt better then i do now. but i was so happy to be down to a lower dose of meds but since i have had a bad setback in my life im not dealing with it that great. so if anyone has any advise of which meds they have found works please let me know i dont want to make the mistake and let the doctor put me on something that i shouldnt take thanks for reading my message and right now i really need some help. im scared and confused so much thanks plzhelp me
