Do whatever makes you feel good!
I have probably suffered from depression since I was about 14 but it wasn’t diagnosed until I had a full blown breakdown when I was in my early 40s (about 18 years ago). Since then I have progressed from citalopram to sertraline (with a brief but horrible detour via amitriptylene) and am still on sertraline

I’m New Here
Hi, I’m new here, although NOT in anyway, shape or form new to major depression. I’m a 61 y/o female who has struggled since I was 15. That’s a long time. It’s always been cyclical. But, here’s what’s crazy; I never identified it as a “disorder” before. It obviously is. I didn’t get on medication until

Two Besremi doses and the itching begins!!
So I am off the Bomedemstadt clinical trial and just began Besremi on 10/9. I am on 50 mcg, which I have had twice thus far. My numbers didn't budge much at all although my hematocrit was not too bad. The doctor wants to double to dose to 100 mcg which I am scheduled for this Sunday. Since being on

ECG help
Hi all, First time posting in this forum I have posted in the main BHF a few times. I'm currently waiting for an AF Ablation and recently had my preoperative assessment for it. The nurse kindly gave me a copy of my ECG and naturally I took to googling to try understand it ofcourse getting nowhere 😂

Wellbutrin
Hi, I'm new to the community. I have been on Wellbutrin/Bupropion since 2020. I feel like it may not be working as well. Is anyone else taking this and if so, have you had success? I have depression and anxiety and wonder if I need another prescription. Thanks

Clinical Physiologist
Please can any of you explain to me what exactly is a Clinical Physiologist ? I usually see my cardiologist once a year, along with a routine echocardiogram and ecg. This year, I saw my GP because I have been getting a lot of palpitations which Kardia diagnose as PVCs and SVEs ) He said he would contact

A Good Day's Night
AFib status: Permanent for at least the past two years. 75 years old. Medication: Apixaban, 5mg Bisoprolol, Amlodipine, 5mg Ramipril, Atorvastatin. No offers by my doctor of a cardioversion or an ablation. I have been fairly stable on those meds since it was confirmed that I had Permanent Afib.

Red blood cells
My red blood cell count increased from 133 in September 2022 to 151 in March 2023. The haemocrit count went up from 4.43 to 4.96, both outside the normal range. These were both marked with an asterisk on my blood test sheet but that was all. I went into persistent afib in August 2022. I am worried

Do I need to be concerned? UPDATE!
Hi fellow AFibbers. Further to my post below; Firstly, may I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who have kindly taken the time to reply with support and advice. Too many to thank you or reply to you all individually! So, as wisely advised by many of you, I took myself to A

Graduation!
Done it! C25K week 9 run 3, done! 2nd time in 4 years, easier this time round I think and completed in 8 weeks, rather than the 8 months it took me last time 🤣You were all right about Strava, by the way ... what a lying b*****d! It says I ran not as far, and therefore slower, than last Wednesday's run

Prostate Cancer-Thoughts
My husband was diagnosed in January 2020 with prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones. His PSA was 30 and after the biopsy it was 130. He has had radiation three different times, Firmagon, Zytiga and Prednisone. His testosterone is low and his PSA did get as low as 2 but then started rising

Feels worse than Ectopics
7 years of this feeling, think of rolling you tongue irregulrly heart feeling, my heart at times does that but, then feels like an engine trying to start Bing Bing bang and hate them so much. Just be relaxed talking and it happens, lay down feels like not enough blood is being pumped and heart struggles

RLS & BURPRENORPHINE
Hello everyone, I had been on Oxy for the past couple of years for pain. Recently I switched pain doctors and he switched the Oxy to Buprenorphine 8mg (film). The Buprenorphine, like a miracle, stopped my RLS immediately and it also controlled my pain so much better than the Oxy. In the past couple

ADHD and Psychedelic
Presently, legal access to psychadelic therapy is limited to only some states, nations and
clinical
trials
. It tends to be expensive too. But some of us are at wits end.

Persistent Afib - next stop Amiodorone
Following a short-lived success with cardioversion, my EP has prescribed Amiodarone 200mg daily. So not a massive dose. The waiting list for ablation is long, so this is a stop gap. And a lot of the drugs prescribed for paroxysmal AF are not much help for persistent AF - at least not as an antiarythmic

All good things must come to an end
I just had my 3 month checkup and it looks like my Ibrutinib is starting to stop keeping my counts in check. They have not gone crazy but have been slowing rising this past year and actually doubled over a 6 month period. My Doctor thinks it's probably good to look at another treatment while I am still

Stopping Firmagon if castration resistant
The cocktail of painkillers plus Radium 223 is making me very tired at the moment. This may seem like a daft question but what is the position with continuing or stopping Firmagon when you're castration resistant? Is its purpose to control the spread of testosterone that would otherwise make the cancer
