Another toxic heavynetal is titanium, present not only in airplane feul, and soy bean crop insecticides, but also in some silicone implants and some bubble gums; the latter is latter is probably why the incidence of neurlogic diseasss like Lew Gehrig's Disease are so high in baseball players,Sincerely,

Maurine-

So glad to hear the lead is being addressed. We also have lead in our home and are in the process of abating what we can (physically & financially) and encapsulating/containing the remainder. We would have NEVER been able to do this on our own--we received a loan/grant which was designed to help address the lead problem we face here locally. New York has higher levels of lead in residential buildings than any other state in the nation. The county I live in happens to have, on average, more children with elevated blood lead levels than any other county/state in the nation. Sad statistic. As a result of the funding we have received, I took a class designed to train "average Joe's" how to maintain/repair painted surfaces which may contain lead based paint. It was a very enlightening class--and as a result, the gov't feels I am fully trained and certified in lead reduction. If anyone living in NY State wants info on the class I took or on the loan/grant we rec'd feel free to get in touch with me. It is a long process, but worth it for us.

Thanks for e-mailing, . Yes, we addressed the lead problem years ago. The stupid thing that the health dept required first before they would send an environmental agent-was that the kids get a finger prick of blood to see if lead levels wre high enuf. Course I know and you know that it showed absolutely nothing. That's why it took so long to get someone to check the problem. I had to bring them lab results from Doctor's Data to prove the kids had so much lead. It's sad to think that they use this finger prick method to test other children. Take care.

go back to 5mg and then just take the xanax for anxiety and panic attacks!!!!!

Lexapro is a serious drug! It worked for my anxiety and panic but if its making

it worse than dont take it!! why do we put ourselves through this crap? our

doctors are not at home with us when we feel all of these horrible things. side

affects? we have to feel worse to get better? GRRRR!

Xanax as needed but no more than one .25 mg pill a day and some days

did not need it at all.. Then I went up to 10 mg 2 days ago and I am

more anxious than ever.. cannot leave the house.. am all over the

place mentally so indecisive..i don't know if I am not giving it a

chance... if its reacting badly to me.... but it is ruining my life..

I take it for Anixety, panic, etc and I am at the point where I don't

I had severe anxiety during my first week on 10mg of lex but after that things

improved and it has definitely helped me. I dont think there is a magic pill

yet that can cure anxiety or depression on its own though.

Other things can play a big part in recovery - I found exercise really helps

- I have started walking and cycling - it raises endorphin levels uses up excess

adrenaline and distracts you

from your problems - joining a walking group is good

Meditation and relaxation - cd's are good but joining a local group is even

better - here in the UK many towns have free drop in centres run by the charity

MIND for people with mental health issues - I find it really helpful - they

run relaxation classes , pilates, yoga etc.

Therapy and counselling is good if you can get or afford it - but I find

listening to relaxing music is better - again there are a lot of free resources

online let me know if you would like some links.

My life was a living hell for 3 months - the last 3 have been better but it

is still two steps forward one step back

I am still taking 10mg a day - been on it for 3 months now - it seems to

reduce my physical anxiety symptoms to a level where I can use other methods to

reduce my anxiety - getting better all the time but not sure when to start

reducing the lex - maybe in another couple of months ...................?
