I've isolated myself from every body and sleep most of the day, I feel there's no reason to be awake, I have no enthusiasm for anything any more. I've tryed slitting my rist a few days ago until some one came into my room, now I have a bad red mark on my rist that hurts and itches. My friends noticed my... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/76603/hill http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/73375/feeling Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:33:26 -0400 mark I'm been feeling different lately after starting to take two meds. The klonopin is getting me loaded and the celexa that at first made me feel no different is now making me extreamly drowsy to the point where I have to go lay down or i'll fall asleep where I stand. I've been having trouble sleeping for more than 5 to 6 hours, maybe if I start taking the celexa at nite I'll sleep better.? I have a regular doctor now so I think I can better... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/73375/feeling http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/73125/stomach Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:13:15 -0400 mark I don't know if any one else has this problem but, does anyone else have a funny, tense, tingling and/or turning feeling in their stomach just before an attack? That's how my start most of the time and some times milk or orange juice can contribute to it. I think I'm going to try eating a lot of yogurt, I hear that it is good for the gut and maybe it'll help. It's how it starts every morning, my stomach feels real tense and vibrates a little and... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/73125/stomach http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/73055/meds Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:25:56 -0400 mark I'm now taking konipin and celexa. the konipin seems to work better than the ativan. When I first starting taking the klonipin I felt all doped up and high, every time I got loaded but now it's not so bad. The celexa doesn't make me feel any different, I don't feel anything at all, just less motivated to do anything and no enthusiasm for any thing, I don't feel like doing any thing, nothing seems to interest me, but if the doctor thinks this... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/73055/meds http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/71647/terrible-thoughts Wed, 20 May 2009 02:30:55 -0400 mark Tonight I was thinking about taking all of my meds and then going to sleep, I'm sure 18mg should have done the trick, but my friends threatened to call 911 and spoil my plans and have me put in a mental hospital. I'm affraid of waking up in the morning because all I have to do is get up out of bed and I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. It's to the point where I don't want to go to bed any more, I stay up as late as I can until I... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/71647/terrible-thoughts http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/71630/bumpy-road Tue, 19 May 2009 20:45:40 -0400 mark I have been sober for 3 years now, no longer addicted to anything so at least I have something to celebrate. I figured that there would be better days to come until my anxiety went from being a acaisonal thing to being a constant thing. I'm now on clonezapan and it seems to work better than the ativan except I feel like going to sleep a few hours later but it's better than nothing. so just another step to finding the right meds that suit my... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/71630/bumpy-road http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/70259/don Fri, 08 May 2009 21:54:35 -0400 mark I finnally got cmsp so I can pay for medical care. Only one of my two meds were covered by cmsp, the other is $70 for generic, so I'll have to wait on that because I haven't been working, I even have a hard time writing this. I have two panic attacks aday, once in the morning and once in the early evening and ativan is the only thing that makes me feel better and calmed down. The dotors are weaving me off of ativan first it was 2mg then 1mg and... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/70259/don http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/69713/follow Mon, 04 May 2009 18:15:43 -0400 mark Today I had another follow up apointment, the doctor gave me two prescriptions. One is for more Ativan 0.5mg and the other I can't make out because her writing is so sloppy, you would think that doctors would have learned proper writing skills in med school. She says that I can mix the two, but I'm really parinoid about mixing meds. She signed a paper stating that I can not work for the next two months, how long can an anxiety disorder last any... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/69713/follow http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/69361/sick Fri, 01 May 2009 15:34:24 -0400 mark I'm sick and tired of these scary feelings. Just a few minutes ago I felt like my heart stopped and I felt like I couldn't breath and my my torso became numb, now my heart is acting weird and my wind pipes feel as if their going to close and now I'm having chest pains. I took a ativan and it's taking forever to kick in. The ativan usually takes about 45 minutes before I feel calm but this time it's taking forever, it's been an hour since I took... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/69361/sick http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/68509/slowly-surely Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:27:41 -0400 mark Today I got fed up with constantly shaking, even though I feel my chest tighten up and feel sick to my stomach and short of breath, I held my breath and layed down and held my legs still and stoped shaking, it was a bit hard to do but I found that I feel a little better, I can actually get up and walk around with out feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack. I still feel constant anxiety but not as intense. I still catch myself shaking from... http://www.healthcentral.com/anxiety/c/829751/68509/slowly-surely
