Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sue - I had a reaction like the one you describe to one of the basic SSRIs - damn, the name has slipped my mind - ah! Zoloft! Actually, I was imagining that I was being watched from surveillance sat elites... See if your doc will let you try Neurontin - did me a lot of good and controlled seizures I didn't know I had to boot...lol. ~Haley ssr3351@... wrote: Hi everyone, Recently some of you have talked about anti anxiety meds and not being able to take them. Last week I saw my family Dr. because I have become very anxious lately. I feel awful, worry about everything and my stomach is in a knot. I feel like a wet towel that is being twisted to ring the water out. I was given Buspar (15mg) 1/2 tablet twice a day. The first 2 days seemed okay but after that I started to feel worse that before. VERY nervous, anxious, upset stomach, couldn't sleep, headache, & I felt like my insides wanted to crawl outside!! My question ..... is anyone taking anything for anxiety that is working well? I don't want to be a zombie but I need something. I don't even know what has brought it on. I've been out of my work place for 4 yrs.and doing very well but now I'm having dreams about mold behind my walls and dread when it rains for fear of leaks. I don't even like turning water on in the house for fear of it leaking. Anyone else have these fears and anxiety? Thanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sue, As for me, I said I couldn't take antidepressants but my thoughts on Buspar: My feeling is that Buspar is a combo medicine for depression/anxiety although it is marketed as an antianxiety medicine. I took it but so long ago I don't remember if I felt worse or not but it didn't help me at all. Buspar will be given to you by very conservative doctor who does not like to deal with sedatives. Tell him it makes your anxiety worse. Maybe he wanted to try this as a more conservative first step. A mild sedative doesn't hurt anyone if you keep dose low. If you don't experience anxiety everyday, don't take it every day. That will prevent getting 'used' to it. I would have a drink of wine to relax but I cannot tolerate wine and beer or alcohol. Some things that might help: a high protein diet, low or no sugar especially in evening, magnesium supplements, some of the over the counter things at health food stores. Try all of them. I have something called 'Knock out' with has Valerian Root, Melatonin and other herbs. It is by Schiff. Dr Tiedlebaums, Chronic Fatigue doctor, recommends L-Theanine (amino acid), which Knock-Out has in it also but so do other otc things I've seem, plus you can buy these separately. If you sleep okay, I wouldn't try a benzodiazepene since it is so strong and can be habit forming. If you have trouble sleeping, try some of the above things first and if those don't work, try a benzo. You need the sleep so it is worth it, also one of the newer sleep aids, such as ambien, may be easier to get. Also there are a bunch of combination herbal teas that are supposed to be relaxing. You just have to try them. Dr Tiedlebaum addresses the issue of sleep alot at his website because he thinks it's central to getting over cfs, so you might read his suggestion, either his book (End Fatigue) or on his website. I believe it's endfatigue.com or similar. Dr Tiedlebaum is in land also but he charges a huge upfront fee to see him. However you can take his online 'test' and input info about yourself for 100.00 and you will get all his tips and suggestions for 'you' in a printout and discuss them with your own doctor. He prescribes antifungals for cfs as well as many other things that now he markets under his own labels but you can get similar products in another label. They are not 'proprietary'. From Rx.com: Clinical trials were done with people who were depressed also: >The efficacy of BuSpar has been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials of outpatients whose diagnosis roughly corresponds to Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Many of the patients enrolled in these studies also had coexisting depressive symptoms and BuSpar relieved anxiety in the presence of these coexisting depressive symptoms. The patients evaluated in these studies had experienced symptoms for periods of 1 month to over 1 year prior to the study, with an average symptom duration of 6 months. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (300.02) is described in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, III1 as follows: from: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/buspir_ids.htm > > Hi everyone, > Recently some of you have talked about anti anxiety meds and not being able to take them.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Zoloft made my anxiety <<<MUCH>>> worse!! OMG. That was worse one Rxed for me. It will definately make you more hyper than Buspar!!! Zoloft is called a combo medicine but I think it is an antidepressant myself. I've never heard anyone who had a relaxation response to Zoloft. It's even in it's name, loft. There is so much confusion over anxiety and depression and how to tell them apart. I personally think they try to diagnose person who suffers with anxiety as depressed since there are soooo many medicines marketed for depression AND doctor can Rx them for long term without liability, since they aren't a controlled substance. Almost all sedatives are controlled substances and doctor has to be careful to not over prescribe. Re: Neurotin. I've heard Neurotin is helpful. You might want to read up on side effects and cautions on it before asking for it. It is in a class of medicines that are anti-seizure medicine. There are more 'cautions' than sedative medicines except for habit forming side effect of sedatives. However, I would try everything otc for relaxation first, unless your sleep is disturbed, since getting and keeping an Rx for anxiety is such a hassle and there are good products out there that help with mild anxiety. > > Sue - > > I had a reaction like the one you describe to one of the basic SSRIs - damn, the name has slipped my mind - ah!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 All of Barb's cautions are excellent, but I'll tell you what worked for me about Neurontin for anxiety - it gave me distance...I could notice it coming on and learned what it felt like as the clouds were rolling in, which gave me enough of a chance to have a cognitive response to interrupt it - 'oh, that sensation of discomfort is anxiety coming on again, hmmmm, maybe I should do something soothing for myself.' That made a HUGE difference for me - without it, I tend to get blizzarded over by anxiety before I even know what has happened... but I do have much better discernment abilities than I did before Neurontin. God bless Neurontin, as far as I'm concerned - and if you knew how reluctant I am about taking meds, you'd realize that's saying a LOT for me...lol. ~Haley barb1283 <barb1283@...> wrote: Zoloft made my anxiety <<<MUCH>>> worse!!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Buspar made me think the whole world was doomed! I thought I was going to die and that very night! I had only taken about 2 dosages but that was enough for me!! I had to get my sister to spend the night incase I died so someone would be with my kids..come to find out, that's one of the side effects!! OUCH! Neurotin is OK, that is if you never want to get of of it. It had the worst withdrawal side effects I ever had.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks Haley, the reaction was horrible. This morning I'm feeling better but still anxious. Sat. night was the worst feeling I've had since the way I felt when first exposed to the mold. I'll asked about the Neurontin. Thanks for your advice.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Barb, I think most Drs. are too conservative and afraid to give their patients anything. Years ago I had some severe back pain and couldn't see my chiropractor until Mon. Since it was Thursday I asked my family Dr. for some Darvocet. I begged him to give me just enough for 3 days and he told me to take extra strength Tylenol!! Very frustrating! I pretty much stick to a high protein diet and rarely use sugar except an occasional dessert once in a while. I will look into the magnesium supplements this week. I do take a Melatonin & calcium at night that helps me sleep along with an over the counter sleep aid. I think it's tylenol PM without the pain reliever. I'll look into the CFS info you mentioned for some help. I appreciate all your help. Sue Sue, As for me, I said I couldn't take antidepressants but my thoughts on Buspar: My feeling is that Buspar is a combo medicine for depression/anxiety although it is marketed as an antianxiety medicine.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Barb, I agree with what you say about the anxiety vs. depression. When you tell a Dr. you are nervous they seem to automatically think you are depressed which isn't the case with me. I am just severely anxious!! Can you tell me what particular OTC products, for anxiety, you refer to? Do you suggest a health food or vitamin store? Sue Zoloft made my anxiety <<<MUCH>>> worse!! OMG. That was worse one Rxed for me. It will definately make you more hyper than Buspar!!! Zoloft is called a combo medicine but I think it is an antidepressant myself.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I know when the anxiety is coming too. It feels like a wave starting at my feet that just sweeps over me! I try talking myself out of it but nothing seems to work it just builds until I'm totally overwhelmed by it. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hmmm - I've been on and off Neurontin four or five times, I think, and while I tapered some, I haven't had any problems... we all have different chemistry.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I look at it this way when they say it (the medication) shouldn't do that to you. When you read the info & it says one out of a thousand will suffer adverse effects someone has to be that one and I happen to be it. Since then, doctors try to give me Buspar. when I tell themn what happened, they say it is my mental state. If I can convince them to read the insert which clearly stated feelings of death or doom, they say, " he he, you are right!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I think you're correct about the nerve damage but I need something to help me relax. I worry about running any water in my house, rainy days and I am always checking everything. I wasn't worried about all this 4 yrs. ago when I got so sick and had to leave work. I know I'm not sick from my home because Dr. Shoemaker put me in and out of my school, on and off medication and each time did the blood work to prove that it was from the contaminates in my building. I haven't had any real problem until just after the new year when I became anxious about everything! Sue THE REASON THAT THESE MED'S CAUSE BAD REACTIONS IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT ANIXITY, IT'S PHYSICAL NERVE DAMAGE BECAUSE THE PROTECTIVE MATTER THAT PROTECTS OUR NERVE ENDINGS IS DAMAGED, I KNOW THIS IS WHY I HAVE BAD REACTIONS TO MOST MED'S. I CAN ALSO TELL WHEN I'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO SOMETHING THAT AGGERVATES IT. TRY A SEARCH ON ANXITY VS. NERVE DAMAGE, IT MAY MOSTLY BE ON ANIMAL STUDIES BUT WHAT'S NEW ABOUT THAT. HAVEING SAID THAT WHAT ABOUT THIS NIGHTMARE WOULD CAUSE ANXITY ON TOP OF THAT. SOME WHO DONT HAVE SEVERE NERVE DAMAGE MAY GET SOME RELIEF WHILE ONES THAT DID IT MAY JUST AGGERVATE THE NERVE DAMAGE.--- ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 It's quite possible that what is happening is some kind of physiological conflict between these various drugs (which are physiologically active - physiological activity is sometimes called 'xenobiotic activity') and some " xenobiotic " component of mold which is also physiologically active in you. They may be clashing, in some way which could be what causes these reactions. That clash may be something which is not yet understood. (Science is always evolving, and many drugs are best classified as 'blunt instruments' that effect lots of systems that they are not meant to act on but do.) For example, some chemical in the mold may be telling some part of your body to do this and the drug may be telling it or something related, to do the opposite, and the result is metabolic chaos or worse. Something you feel, and which makes you feel sick, but which isn't clearly defined by science or has been ignored intentionally. I'd expect that the more chronic conditions someone has, or the more drugs that someone takes for other conditions, the higher a chance there would be for ANY xenobiotic to cause some undesired action, just because of the number of variables. (Thats why drug formularies are also a bad idea, BTW, doctors need to be able to change drugs when one doesn't work or interacts badly with another drug the patent is already taking.) Of course, there are lots of people who would like to blame it on you, its all your own fault, they say, but the reality is that people don't choose to be sick, its not a lifestyle choice, and many of us have to take drugs of one kind or another to address illnesses, so we should do our best to avoid anything ADDITIONAL with xenobiotic activity like mold because its like playing russian roulette..the chances for some of those effects to be damaging increases exponentially the more variables that get introduced into the mix.. even ones which are (wrongfully, IMO) claimed to be 'harmless' according to those responsible for forcing them on us.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I don't take tylenol,. just the sleep aid part of it. It's the one without the pain reducer in it. Reading seems to help before I go to sleep. Getting on the computer after 9PM keeps me awake, it must stimulate my brain too much. I think my biggest issue right now is the anxiety. I just can't seem to relax, I just worry about everything. Today is a beautiful sunny day so I'm feeling better but the minute I hear rain I start to get anxious. I saw all tlhe flooding on the news, in upstate NY, and had to turn it off. I try to focus on other things but then it starts to creep over me like a wave. Sue Sue, Just my opinion, but I would not take Tylenol since it's effective dose is very close to it's toxic dose. It is VERY hard on your liver and since mycotoxins are too, I don't think it is worth it. There are other things. Tylenol works to aid sleep by lowering your body temperature. Your body has to cool down in order to sleep, actually your brain has to cool down and a fever reducer dose that. Possibly a coated aspirin would be better. Read up on good 'sleep hygiene'. Keeping a regular schedule gets your body clock working well and your temperature should go up during the day and down at night if body clock is working well. You can't come 'down' at night if you didn't get 'up' during the day/bring your body temperature up, get bright light during the day, associate relaxation with darkness, etc. Do something repetitive and boring to relax before bedtime. I play online solitaire. That makes me very tired. My eyes are too sore at night to read, or watch something soothing, set television background light to low brightness, set a sleep switch to turn it off, etc. Children have died from liver failure from parents giving adult dose not knowing how toxic it is. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks, Barb for the excellent information. I know I don't have a Wild Oats in my area. I think the closest one to land is in NJ which is a shame. I looked at the website and the store looks wonderful. I see more and more otc products coming out for anxiety. I go to Wild Oat grocery store that has alot of health products but any health food or vitamin store. Whole foods if you have one too. There are tons of them. You have to experiment around and try them. Right now I like the Schiff's Knock-Out which has It has vit B6 which in combination with magnesium has had good effect for me before (Solgar makes a good magnesium product with vit B6 which is one of few magesium supplements which had good effect without giving me 'the runs'-magnesium is active ingredient in Milk of Magnesium and can give you diahrea is you aren't careful with dose. Knock-Out also has Calcium, magnesium, Melatonin (3 mg), L-Theanine, Valerian (root I'm assuming) extract, GABA (gamma=aminobutyric acid. It helps me and I'm hard one to relax. To be fully honest, I take a benzo though at night!!! ...so telling you to do something I'm not but I frequently fall asleep before taking it. I have to slowly taper off of it. NOT because I get withdrawal ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks, I have read the information about Tylenol and don't take it anymore. When I first started getting sick at school I would take tylenol and ibprophen all the time for the headaches I would get everyday between 10 and 11 AM. I always knew what time it was just by the headaches!! Since leaving the school 4 yrs. ago I can count on two hands the number of headaches I've had. I haven't even had a common cold, cough, sore throat or sinus infection. I saved a bundle on kleenex and cough drops!!! Sue My sister passed away when she was only 60 due to liver failure. She suffered a lot of pain due to heart surgery and issues. Her doctors always told her to take Tylenol. She did not abuse tylenol at all but it killed her. She would most likely still be alive had it not been for tylenol. We never know just how weak our internal organs really are...it is best to not push them. My sister really did not know she had a weak liver. Every now and then her enzymes would be elevated and then they would go down again, but it was the liver that gave out. A doctor once told me there were a record number of people who would go out drinking and take Tylenol for hangover and die. Yes, it is toxic alright ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
