My poor husband. It seems like every year I've been on Prozac, I get less and less amourous. At times, I think I could easily join a nunnery. Not that I don't enjoy sex when we have it, but I hardly ever initiate things anymore. All I want to do in bed is sleep! But I'm hoping the Wellbutrin will counterattack this. My doc said they often prescribe it to counterattack some of the effects like this of anti-anxiety meds. -- Jenn Malatesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi All. Have an appointment at the pain clinic Friday, last visit was suggested that I might want to try some anxiety meds at night along with the pain meds already taking. During the day I can keep busy and get away with tylenol and such (patches too sometimes) for the pain but when night falls, the lights go out, and it is time for my body to be still, the " pain demons " arrive, along with the spasms, numbness, ice cold feet, tingling, all descend at once. While waiting for the hydrocodone to kick in, I realized that yes, I do have anxiety. Maybe meds for that might help me relax and sleep a little more than a couple hours a night. Was wondering what you all have had any luck with and the name of the meds so I can look them up and be alittle more informed on Friday. Thanks. in NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Rhonda, I name all the " ones you would never think of " and forgot the one of the best.....Rhonda...are you on it for spasms or for anxiety...if you don't mind me asking? I think in my opinion it is the absolute best muscle relaxer out there, the one medical people should compare all others too.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I take Valium (just 2 mg) once a day, twice if I need it, plus Wellbutrin. I have taken Xanax before as well, both short and long acting. Probably for your purposes, the short acting would work well for you. I think chronic pain and depression/anxiety go hand in hand - I have been dealing with pain and depression/anxiety for 10 yrs now. What about a sleep med like Ambien though? That way you can get rest... my Valium does relax me but doesn't really help me sleep. Sometimes in the middle of the night I take a Hydrocodone and you're right - waiting for it to kick in is maddening... feels like an hour. : ) Jenn > > Hi All.
