Hello

Sorry I don't live in Ireland lol

I know you have a meds fear and like me you have done exactly what I would do when because I have this fear and read the leaflet , frighten ourselves half to death and convinced ourselves we will get every side effect that we have read !

I am going through the menopause , having a really bad time with it , I actually cannot take HRT and even though I have a med fear if I could take it I would as I cannot stand the symptoms the menopause is giving me but I have been looking for something natural that might help 

I came across this cream it has great reviews I read them all and after ordered it ( still waiting for it to come ) I was willing it to come as soon as possible hoping it will help so what do I do while I am waiting I go looking until I come across negative feedback over it ! 

Why I ask myself do I do this , I believe it is my anxiety mind that does it and not the sensible part of my mind which we all have so now from going from can't wait till it arrives I am thinking O dear should I use it !

But you know I am going to because I am not going to let the anxiety mind win and I am going to focus on those positive comments I read and find out for myself how it may or may not work for me because what ever we are taking we can always stop them at any time we want and even though I know your meds you have been prescribed  you could get some good reviews as well as some negative one's but you will never know how they may work for you if you don't try them and I know this is difficult when we have this fear but if we can keep focused and remember  that now a days they seem to list if someone sneezes when taking a med because they have to but all the side effects are not actually been proven they have caused what they have listed it is just certain things may have happened when people are taking them so they have to list it but they do not know 100% that that person may have still have had that problem if they had not been taking them if this makes any sense 

Also it can be 1 in a 1000 people or more this side effect may have occurred when they were taking them and again I know we think we will be the 1 but why will it be us ?why can we not be the other 999 that they may have had a positive result when taking them reason as always because anxiety gets in telling us otherwise 

I had a quick look at the med and children as young as 7 can take them so do you think they can be that dangerous if they will give them a child ? these are the things I have to ask myself when I start getting full of fear 

Maybe just try them a week at a time and if you are not happy for whatever reason at least you tried them , I always think it must be so hard for our Doctors mine included when we go asking for help and then whatever they give us we go back again and say we could not take them yet we are still suffering  lol -D

If you take them let us know how you get on or if you need more support while taking them pop on and someone will be there to try and help

Take Care x

Hi bounce.as always you answer with such common sense. but after looking up cymbalta I decided not to take it...going to try Inositol..it sounds safer. and not as frightening ,my councillor dosen't want me to take meds .and told me if I feel low to ring HIM not my Doctor..xxxx

Hi

Well your Councillor sounds brilliant , that is a great offer and if it were me I would take advantage of that and put him to the test when I feel low and phone him

Keep us posted how you get on x

He is brilliant Bounce.His idea is that something happened to me, in my life.to cause my anxiety,and when I go to him, he digs deep in my past, asking questions,about things I dont even remember,but he says theres something there,that started all this,and when I remember it.I will be free from anxiety..He says he hasan't failed yet,and has cured 2 people in the last month..He says i'm more complicated cause I hide my emotions....sounds too good to be true,but i'm giving him a try anyway,He is totally against meds,and thinks doctors are handing out A/DS too much..I will keep you informed of my progress with him..Have apt with him next Thursday..Take care. love Miarose xxxxxx,
