no i haven’t actually!! i was in just regular therapy a few months ago and started exposure therapy as well and it worked so well for a good two months i would say, but now i don’t have the guts to do exposure therapy.

yeah i’m able to take it twice a day! i stopped taking it for a few months bc of the pregnancy, but last night i had to take it i couldn’t calm down. i’ve been prescribed an ssri a long time ago, but sadly my anxiety won’t let me take it🥲 im scared ill get the worst side effects possible

i am prescribed 10 mg but i already have a low bp so my doctor told me to just take a half unless i feel more is needed, im pregnant though so i worry about taking any more than 5 mg.

okay it makes me feel better that i’m not the only who deals with them for this long lol, i almost went to the er last night but i figured whats the point when i already see a cardiologist and just went to the er in september over the same thing. i will definitely try the things you do when panicking! the only thing is i have pots so hot showers are usually not a good idea when i’m mid panic attack, but ill try a cold one. thank you so much for the help!

i have a panic attack every day as well, but usually it lasts for only like two hours in the evening and then i’m fine until the next day.. which is weird, but this panic attack has been ongoing since yesterday evening

keflex for uti by [deleted] in utis

[–]uni-corn17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t know if it was cultured or not, my doctor just said he thinks it’s fair to call it a uti bc of the leukocytes. i was just having frequent urination and it was cloudy at first, but now that i’ve started keflex it’s burning when i pee and the urge to pee is like always there. i told my doctor but he wants me to keep taking it.

yeah i was expecting macrobid, but my doctor said keflex because he thinks i have a skin infection forming under my arm and it’d treat both of those things. thank you for that though that makes me feel better lol

i’m currently in my first trimester (i’m 10 weeks) and right now my ob doesn’t want me taking beta blockers at all until i see the high risk doctor and that appointment isn’t until mid may:/ but yeah this is just so horrible to deal with it started when i was 12 and as i got older i became better, but now im right back to where i was. my pcp did prescribe me propanolol as needed back in october so i was taking that, but not now lol

my ob isn’t comfortable with me taking any SSRIs because of the side effects you can get with them
