Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi For those lucky enough to have a properly functioning adrenal system and who don't need either steroids or thyroid hormones and likely don't have depressive symptoms ...... and don't have a megalomaniac government wanting to invade your household at the drop of a hat.....to jam 'drugs' down your throat ~ it must be really pleasant. In the meantime, I've requested a tertiary referral for someone who isn't getting better fast, after dropping the citalopram and quetiapine, preceeded by a whole 'Armada' of prescription psychiatric meds over an unacceptably protracted number of years. The paper I posted shows to whom it is approriate to refer....in the first instance. best wishes Bob > What point are you making there Bob?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I do agree you need to be on SSRI's for a while, 6/8 weeks just to see if it works, but I dont believe in stopping and starting and then trying something else too quick, I always give them a good chance, a lot of people stop after the first pill if they get back effects, some docs fail to tell them they need time work. I am lucky enough to know how this works but have found it out myself, although I now see a very good doctor, who is so easy to talk to and we actually have a laugh Hi ,Age about 40y male.The diagnosis is in doubt.The quetiapine was a bolt on goody that was supposed to compensate for the poor response to citalopram (SSRIs). Polypharmacy ~ if you drop one of the drugs, all the withdrawal symptoms then confound the issue as to whether you had anything wrong in the first place so they then say, ah, a relapse..... ..I accompanied someone to an appointment where citalopram was prescribed and that was the exact line that was taken by another doctor ... you need to be on this for a longer time.... like as not, the words ~ straight from the mouth of the very pretty dolly bird that gave him all this guff.best wishesBob--- In thyroidpatientadvoc acygroups (DOT) com, sarah s <xxsarahxx_40@ ...> wrote> Just out of interest Bob I see the other drug you mentioned is an antiphycotic (sp?) is this person you refer to young or old?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 , I have had the same symptoms as your father - waking up and while mowing the lawn. Saw a respiratory specialist and they did complete diagnostics and found nothing that would cause it. A few months later after being diagnosed with achalasia, i had the Heller Myotomy surgery and that seemed to help with the waking up out of breath or choking. Of course now I sleep with the head of my bed elevated too. I think mine is related to neck injuries and not hereditary. Marco > > Interesting .
