Tremors, insomnia, depression, anxiety - menopause?
Posted by: | CommentsI am 51 years old and have been trying to "get my life back" for three years now. I have tried many medications that either make me too fat or too drowsy. I am currently trying Zoloft again, going into my third week at 100 mg. I’m totally frustrated. I shake like crazy, have horrible anxiety, wake up at least three times every night. Either Zoloft isn’t working for me or I haven’t given it enough time. But, I would love to have my life back. And, of course, because I feel so horrible, the depression kicks in. I have done some of my own research and found lots of women get this from menopause, but my OB/GYN says no way. I have been to a neurologist, had a CT scan,MRI, blood work, everything is normal. Any advice from anyone?
Menopause comes in stages. Perimenopause is a transition into meno-pause (pause of menstruation for at leat one year). There can be many, many signs and symptoms, they are not the same for everyone.
Some women experience mood swings, irritability or increased depression during perimenopause, but the cause of these symptoms may be sleep disruption, often caused by hot flashes. Mood changes may also be caused by factors not related to the hormonal changes or perimenopause.
Fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can cause a whole host of symptoms, but tremors and anxiety are not usually listed.
You could be experiencing symptoms of withdrawal (discontinuation syndrome) from other medications. Withdrawal from antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other psych meds can cause tremors and anxiety, rebound anxiety and depression, and many other uncomfortable symptoms. Some symptoms can last up to a year, or more, but prozac should end those symptoms.
Prozac (fluoxetine) takes 4 weeks to get to a therapeutic level. You won’t feel the full benefits until then.
Perimenopause and menopause (no period for at least 12 months) can be difficult and the signs and symptoms last years. Some women require treatment and some don’t. Hormone therapy can help but it increases the risk of cancer.
Help! Wedding anxiety (exsisting anxiety disorder)?
Posted by: | CommentsI hope someone is still reading this, I googled and found this site. I am getting married this april and suffer from nxiety, I have not had an attack in awhile but I still feel symptoms everyday especially when driving. I used to could handle anything before I had anxiety issues but now I am so afraid of life. I don’t like being the center of attention but I used to. Recently I had a high school choir reunion ( I have been out of school for 4 years) I thought it would be fun like old times, but the second I got on stage, panic attack! I felt like I was going to pass out and while I sang I would not breathe well so half the time I just mouthed the words. I worry that the ceremony at my wedding will be like that too and walking down the aisle, I am so nervous. Also my fiance and I have waited to have sex until we are married and I am so anxious about that. Since the anxiety started its really hard for me to handle stress. Can anyone help or relate?
a self help book on overcoming panic attacks has all the info you need
breathe deep and slow with frequent stretches and take lots of valium before the wedding
dont tense up or fight back against the anxiety or fear
What Anti-Anxiety / Antidepression Medications will help with Weight Loss?
Posted by: | Comments
There is no anti-anxiety or anti-depressant that consistently makes people lose weight. Some people do have some weight gain after beginning such drugs. It’s a package deal: all psych meds have side effects. The real issue will be your lifestyle including activity and healthy eating habits. There are no short-cuts for this. Additionally, better activity levels will help to reduce depression and anxiety.

Deep breathing works wonders
Visualize and immerse yourself in the environment of a plane the sensations of taking off etc imagine it’s not that bad
Better yet have a lucid dream and get on a plane to face the fear or realisr you were worrying about nothing
how do i help my anxiety?
Posted by: | Commentsim 12, i have real bad anxiety, i have tablet things that are suppost to help it.
when i have and anxiety attack i find it hard to breathe and my breathing stutters and i cant help it. sometimes i cant get to sleep at night. oh and ive had this since i was 4
When you feel an attack coming on try and focas on something else like coutubg how many blue things you can see.
I also suffer from anxiety attacks and know they can be scary and frustrating another good tip is to take long deep breaths threwout the attack. Thi can make it pass quickly and prevent you hyperventilation.
What Is THE Best Medication Available For Anxiety Treatment?
Posted by: | CommentsI know that everybody reacts differently to medication and that some have more side effects than others and so on, but i am just asking what is supposedly known to be thee best medication out there for this illness?
Thanks.
There’s a number of different ways that doctors battle anxiety.
For panic there are benzos: Valium, Xanex, Klonapin, that kind of thing. Benzos work well, but are easily abused, and extremely addictive
For constant anxiety there are anti-depressants: Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft, etc. These can work for anxiety, but are a major no-no for bipolar people/ people with a mood disorder
For people with mood disorders there are anti-seizure meds: trileptal, depakote. They can work for people with serious problems, but they are also pretty severe in their side effects.
For people who fear medicine there is exercise. Exercise helps!
