Panic

I smile less ;(
It's been about a week and a half since I've been seeing psychiatrist(first time!) and been taking anti-depressant(Citalopram-celexa 10mg/day) and anti-anxiety(Clonozepam-klonopin 0.5mg/3 times a day as needed) medications. I know the Citalopram takes few weeks to get effective, but the anxiety pill has been w... 9 Apr 2006 15:27

Inderal/propanol: some breakthrough anxiety
Today was a really lousy day at work. It started out OK but then I began feeling nervous and having racing thoughts. I even thought about cancelling class and saying I was sick. Something tells me that without the inderal/propanol I would've probably had a full-blown PA. I guess inderal/propanol can't stop anxi... 10 Apr 2006 03:16

Upper Endoscopy Report and How it Went
First, I apologize for not calling those people that I otherwise would have, my throat is pretty sore. No tumor you all NO TUMOR!! I have the actual medical record. The doctor found a slight peptic stricture which was dilated to 18 mm (how big is YOUR esophagus? Anybody know the answer to that one? LOL) ... 12 Mar 2006 09:26

Passed first 2 interveiws Re: Job interview
Holy crapolla! I thought I was going for 1 interview. It's good I didn't know or I may never have applied! First I filled out an "honesty questionnaire". All about stealing money, parts, if you lied or cheated or beat up kids on the playground... I filled it out honestly. The first question was "If you kn... 3 Mar 2006 15:31

BRIDGE PHOBIA
The thing about phobias is that they get worse and worse. I discovered that I had a bridge phobia when I was 18 years old. Now I am 42 and the list of bridges extends beyond the Verrazano, Goethals, Tappan Zee, Throgs Neck, Triboro, Driscoll, and now after 24 years I can add on the George Washington Bridge. This... 1 Mar 2006 23:50

Question about Avoidance Issues
I have slowly found myself avoiding things, events, people, etc. over the last few years. I noticed, when my husband would be out working in the yard, and I would be with him, if someone pulled into the driveway or came walking into our yard I ran like the wind or at least would hide. I didn't realize I was... 17 Feb 2006 14:26

I Drove 14 Minutes on the Highway!
Hi all. My life has been hectic, and I have not been keeping up with the group, but I *HAD* to let everyone know about my accomplishment today. I really made a dent in my highway driving phobia that has crippled me for years and years. My younger son is car - less right now, for reasons I won't go into. He i... 12 Feb 2006 02:26

NIRAVAM: Has anyone tried this new orally-disintegrating Xanax product?
Nirivam is simply the proprietary name for orally-disintegrating Xanax tablets. This is the REAL DEAL...not some inferior, generic alprazolam medication. They say it does not work any faster than taking a regular Xanax tablet...but logic dictates that if one were to place Niravam sublingually--and it dissolves i... 4 Feb 2006 14:22
