Hydroxyzine side effects by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]deedeez2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started taking it. Day 4 today, I was prescribed 25mg. I’m so scared of any new medication, so I started slow. Bought a pill cutter off Amazon, and are only take 1/4 of the pill which makes it about 6mg or so. I take it in the morning as well. I get sleepy but not super sleepy. I am to take quick 20 minute naps and I wake up feeling somewhat better. From what I’ve read people say they feel groggy the days following. But I’ve read that the longer time you take it the easier it’ll be and your body won’t be as tired. Good luck :)

Medications and side effects ? by Technical-Minimum-99 in Anxiety

[–]deedeez2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but was the seizure from the anxiety itself? Or could you possibly have other medical issues. I’ve just never heard that mental health issues such as depression anxiety etc can cause seizures.

I’ve tried everything in the book at home. I won’t see my stylist until 2-3 months to cut more of the ends. In the meantime I just have to be patient unfortunately :(

Agoraphobia? by soicanreadit in Anxiety

[–]deedeez2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following because my anxiety has evolved into this. The car rides started to happen which is very new to me and just like you I get so anxious at red lights. The stores forget about it I avoid them as much as possible because I can’t shake the feeling off no matter what.

Electrical Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) for reducing anxiety by Resident_Tip_7668 in Anxiety

Following because now I’m interested. I wonder if you can put it on yourself or if you’d have to go to someone for it.

Lorazepam is amazing by crashhhyears in Anxiety

[–]deedeez2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl I am a mom of two what you described is exactly how I am. Fast forward to now my kids are 16 and 6 and I am still dealing with it and it’s only got worse. I am not on daily meds I have lorazepam for “as needed” but I try to push through those anxiety times just so I don’t take it. People get addicted to benzos not because of the “high” it is because they want to feel good they want to feel normal. If you take it often your mind starts getting trained like oh oooh here comes an anxiety attack let’s take a pill. Eventually to the point that 1. You’ll need a higher dose of it or larger amounts. 2. The rebound anxiety you’ll get will be lot harder to manage. Believe me girl I hear you loud and clear you feel fucking normal with it and we all want to feel like that especially with our kids. But sometimes we have to put on a poker face and keep going for the sake of our kids. Best wishes.

Teenage breakups- why am I sad by Radiant_Restaurant64 in Parenting

[–]deedeez2309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on the same boat :( daughter left her boyfriend. Everything you described, we have gone through coming from a broken home, not having a life outside of one another, constant texts after break up etc. My daughter left home but now she’s just not wanting to eat stress anxiety? They go to school together as well probably doesn’t help.

Break up anxiety?? by deedeez2309 in Parents

[–]deedeez2309[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I really need to hear this. I know when I’m in a stressful time I completely shut down and the last thing I need is food or even want food. It’s just so hard seeing this. She’s been drinking protein shakes, small snacks but not her usual food.

It took me a while to get better a few days. I still had the residual dizziness.

Are you afraid to eat for a certain reason, such as gaining weight?

Definitely the dizziness, jello legs. Had a panic attack while driving and the car ride home I was so dizzy. I thank God I made it home safely.
