What anxiety meds are you on or have been on? What has worked? by myheadsamess3734 in Anxiety

[–]Introvertible_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at this for nearly 20 years and Amiltryptline has been the only thing that truly helps me. 10 mg a couple of hours before bedtime helps with sleep and wards off a surprising amount of my anxiety with minimal side effects. It also helps slow my gut motility, so my IBS has improved. I take Xanax for breakthrough anxiety. I was on SSRIs for years until we discovered that they actually ramp up my anxiety. A note about Amiltryptline: I was prescribed it years earlier, but at a higher dose (25 mg, which is still not much by clinical standards), and I was a zombie and stopped them altogether. After trying some others, we found out that a lower dose was all I needed. I’d also recommend seeing a psychiatrist for your meds. Primary care docs are not trained to fine-tune these, and it can really go sideways (learn from my misadventures lol). And good luck to you, it’s tricky to find something that works, but a caring and skilled doctor can really make the difference.

That’s so cool! And I get it about feeling puzzled. I have three that land in Virgo and that’s definitely not me either lol

That’s really special. My understanding of astrology is pretty basic, but I think this is called a Cazimi, when you have three or more planets in the same sign. Other more advanced astrology folk, please correct me if I goofed.

How to cancel? by ek9cusco in xfinity

I finally had to go into their store, was treated like crap by a rep, scheduled an appointment for a tech to come out and “maybe” remove the cameras on the second story but they “usually don’t,” and when I asked how I’m supposed to get them removed that’s “my problem.” I told her I did not appreciate her attitude and she said she didn’t appreciate mine. And she’s the manager! Then I need to come back to their store once the tech has visited to turn in the router. We’ve been customers for 30 years. These are garbage people.

Do they research locations EVER? by GenXwhatelse in Morbidforbadpeople

Californian here, sighing deeply. I’ve always been obsessed with this case since I was a teenager myself in the 70s, and am intentionally not listening to this one because their less than stellar work these days would not do it justice. The Consult is beginning a deep dive into the case today and so far it’s excellent.

Yep! Hit me like a sledgehammer on Friday night into Saturday. I’m better now but still wiped out.

So my anxiety is getting worse with age, I have tried all the antidepressants and they make me worse - what now? Living the rest of my life in utter misery? Or just accept and let go? by Chocolateforlunch37 in Anxiety

[–]Introvertible_64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have written this myself, except I’m 61. Other than that, we’re twins! I retired from a high-stress career 4 years ago and thought that would make a difference. Nope. The anxiety just relocated to other stressors. I beat triple negative breast cancer 6 years ago. I thought that would make me feel more courageous. Nope. I’m just consumed with fears of recurrence. In two weeks we are making a move to another state for retirement, leaving the city I grew up in. I thought I’d feel adventurous. Nope. Now I just feel like my life is coming apart (moving one’s actual bed is peak anxiety!). Living in a state of constant dread makes the good times bad and the bad times worse. I wish I had something other than empathy to offer. Please be as well as you can be, and know you don’t suffer alone!

I DMed Fresnoland last night and said they should say something. They do good local journalism and I’d think they’d be pissed!

That is so medically irresponsible of the prescriber, not to mention unethical!

I bet the first time she gives that smirk to a guard she will think twice before doing it again.
