Gia, no plans for tonight. Just gonna kick back and watch some Christmas shows or something. I was going to bake some sugar cookies with the little one, but am feeling a bit pooped out after bawling my face off at the Dr's office.

Momof3 - My Dr. gave me something else today. I thought he was going to put me back on the Wellbutrin but has something better for me. It is called Cipralex. It is an Antidepressant/Anxiolytic/Antiobsessional medication. He gave me two weeks worth. I am to take half (5mgs) for 3 days then go up to 10mgs. I see him on the 17th. Because I am depressed, angry and agitated he said that the Wellbutrin can make the anger part worse. He was fantastic today! SO, I am hoping this will work. He also gave me a prescription for Ativan for my panic attacks. I have been getting those every few nights thinking too much once I lay down. He also gave me a referral to Hospice here. I was so scared to go, as I hate burdening anyone with my woes... but I am glad I went.

So, I am off to go and pick up Little AFM from school. I hope she had a fantastic time at Jumpin' Jiminies today! I need a ray of sunshine. I also picked up some helium balloons for dad for tomorrow. I am looking forward to lying low tonight and just hanging with the child.

Have a great night everyone! Although, I am sure I will be back on here lol! xo

AFM have you done any bloodwork lately? could be low in B vitamins and/or hormonal imbalance.
do you get plenty of bio-available B vitamins in your diet? just think out loud here. I also found inositol to help a great deal with anxiety and would take it before bed. (about a 1/2 teaspoon sublingual)

Hi Det,

I had blood work done today. I have been religiously taking a B50 vitamin for a couple of weeks now. I am also eating better than I have been the past few months.... I will find out more on the 17th in regards to my blood work; unless something comes back upside down.

What is inositol? I guess I could look it up on Google.

I was trying my hardest with vitamins and eating properly to kill the blues and stuff, it just wasn't working. I would start crying all of the time, everywhere. People probably thought I needed to be institutionalized

I probably shouldn't have waited so long to see my doctor, but when you are in a funk, it is hard to reach out for help.

I will research the inositol. Thanks for the suggestion.

Deter -
inositol is a chemical.........used to cut cocaine & such, yuk!

AFM, I replaced my antidepressant (Lexapro) 2 years ago with an OTC herbal product called Amoryn. ZERO side effects!!! Once I had my anxiety/depression kicked I was able to quit drinking permanetly
Worth looking into........
The same company that makes Amoryn makes a sleep producy called Mellodyn - works great!

:thanks: I will look into it for sure. Lexapro is pretty much the same as Cipralex I am seeing. I have been doing some reading up on it.

AFM,

Lexapro & Cipralex are the same thing (name just depends on your location). It is a Rx anti-depressant anti-anxiety medication.
I didn't like the way if left me feeling medicated, numb & still wanting to drink. Oh & the bizarre dreams it caused!

www.amoryn.con

Amoryn is an herbal preparation - no Rx needed.

Keep it in mind if you ever want to give it a try - it really helped me tremendously & no side effects!

inositol hexanicotate is available from health shops and is essentially a better form of niacin. Dr Carl Pfeiffer has found that it matches the efficacy of prescription anti anxiety, anti depressants, and anti psychotic drugs and does so with zero side effects. Additionally in therapeutic doses it can fight and even reverse diabetic neuropathy.
for insomnia, about 1,500mg for moderate anxiety disorder 2 or 3 grams per day.

please follow up with your own research as always.

from personal experience it works very well indeed.

Lav, I am a little nervous about the side effects on this new AD. I don't want to be left feeling numb, either. Or gain mucho amount of weight! I guess I will have to see how this does for me. I prefer to be more on the 'natural healing' side of things. I never did well on any other SSRI, so this should be interesting. When I was on Wellbutrin, it was pretty pleasant - just didn't help with anxiety.

I am going to go and look at the website you have there now. I will definitely keep it in mind if this doesn't work out for me. I took my first dose 4 hours ago and have been to the bathroom 3 times already, if you get my drift? The side effects are to go away over time, so I will just see how I fair with it. Thanks again!
