Good day everyone

I've been given the pill xanax for anxiety

Seems to work fairly well. Wondered if any of you take it. Also have any of you used

Rescue Remedy? I hear it works quite well.

Thanks

Rubyxx 😊 :-)

I've not had any experience of Xanax but I do take Seroxat for anxiety and panic attacks which works brilliantly for me...

Bach's Rescue Remedy is said to be good...I've tried it in the past and it didn't have any effect...but different remedies work for different people...

Hope you soon feel much better...xxxx

Thanks Flibbert

I find the gabapentin I take seems to help some with anxiety also.

Plus it seems to help me sleep.

☺☺

During my last hospital stay I saw a psychiatrist to help me talk out the fears and anxieties I had about my illness. He added Xanax to my drug chart , to be given if I needed and asked for it. This was really great because usually in hospital they act like you're asking for crack cocaine if you ask for a relaxant. I only tool them the night before and the morning of my dreaded 6-minute walk test. This was a huge help to me because I was in a state of such dread and fear about my oxygen sats and how sick, weak and sob I was. I got a prescription for them on leaving the hospital and they are in my bedside locker which I find very comforting. I have used maybe 3 or four during the last three months, but just knowing I can have one when needed has greatly lessened my anxiety.

Hi Argana,

Hope all is well with you.

How many mgs. You take?

I have them because I get heart palpitations. I'm very sensitive to my heartbeat. Its all about anxiety.

I'm much better since I take them.Another thing that helps is my oximeter. I just look at that and see my heart isnt beating fast at all.

Rubyxx 😊

I'm not sure how many mgs Ruby but I think it's a fairly low dose. I only take one if I feel really stressed. Last week after we had the call about our new grandson's arrival, my heart was lounding so much I took a Xanax.

Palpitations are very annoying and the more we eorry about them the wotse they get. If you have your heart checked out that would probably reassure you as well.

Keep well !

Flibberti, I agree and mostly sort out my anxiety with breathing, thinking optimistic thoughts etc. But in Oct/November I was so sick and my physical stress ( muscular tension/pain) got so bad that I was happy to see the psych. He was a great help to me and much more compassionate and insightful then my bronch team. In fact the psych brought his head of department to see me as well and they were so understanding of the problems associated with chronic illness. Clearly I was having trouble coming to terms with the implications of my illness and we agreed that this was adjustment anxiety. I found it such a relief to verbalise my problems to a supportive professional. It helped more then tve Xanax, but I'm happy to have them for when I might need them.

Fluoride is one of the causes of anxiety as it prevents the acetylcholine esterase enzyme being made which removes the acetylcholine which is released by your brain when you have a traumatic experience.

Xanax contains a chemical cousin to fluoride, fluoride is derived from uranium most other anti depressants contain fluoride. sodium fluoride has been scientifically proven to shorten your lifespan.

Iodine removes fluoride, bromine and chlorine out of your body just a few drops a day of the lugols 7% solution sold on altcancer.org (or any other company that you can find) will benefit you greatly it will improve anyone's intelligence who takes it as well.

Try and find a fluoride water filter (just because countries have stopped putting fluoride into the water does not mean it is not still in there most medicines use fluoride to bind the ingredients together) there are a few on the market do not pay more than 150 dollars for a unit as you can make a water distiller unit from scratch for this amount (water contains around 75 thousand chemicals in it)

Also try meditating this has been proven to increase the matter in your brain, 30-40 minutes a day is optimal it has also been proven to cure many ailments and greatly reduce stress.

do your own research the more you look the more you learn the more you realise you are being lied to.

and on a general level stop worrying about things and educate yourself.

If you have any doubts about fluoride, research the new Zealand doctor who was used to implement it in the NZ water one year later he saw the government figures of the dental health and it had worsened.

I've used it in small doses daily. Stops the anxiety and panic in about 10 min. Addictive but effective for me. Does not help me breathe better but calms my fear. I take .5 mg 3times per day. Best wishes.

This is them Citalopram. Discusting so the write up says.very ill.

rubyred777 in reply to Colours23

That pill you took-citalopram is a antidepressants. They do have alot of side effects.. you can't get xanax or valium? You sound like your nerves are very bad. Have you talked to anyone about it?

Rubyxx 😊 ☺

Xanax are very similar to Valium, Colours. I'm not sure why they choose Xanax over Valium but doubtless they have their reasons. A Xanax will relax you in the same way a valium does and you can just take one when you need them, as opposed to a longterm medication.

Benzodiazepines are great for anxiety - but you really do need to be cautious. I've suffered from generalised anxiety/panic for over 30 years and was told, back then, that the benzos would do me no harm and I could take them for life. So I took them for years - by the time I decided I was in trouble, I was up to a dose that would kill most people! 3 years of painful withdrawal followed - I had to leave my job because of this. So, please be very careful!!! (My anxiety has been dreadful since the COPD diagnosis and I would sometimes kill for a valium!)

Placebo or not, I do find that Rescue Remedy takes the edge off and I always carry a bottle in my bag - have done for years. It can't do any harm to try it.

For palpitations (and anxiety), I take beta blockers (propranolol). The jury is out as to whether or not they make shortness of breath worse, but there's no way I'm stopping them!

Hi Frankie

Saw your kitty ( my namesake RUBY

Shes beautiful..

I have no problem with the xanax. Only thing I notice is they tend to make me depressed sometimes.

thanks for your advice.

Rubyxx 😊 😊

My mom has been on Xanax for 20years But she was still (OK I'm going to say it ) CRAZY. 2 months ago Zoloft was added. She's a new person. I love this new mom. I now have the cheery sweetheart of a mom I aways wanted. Oh the Xanax DID work for her panic attacks but her stress levels remained high

I am assuming you are replying to me flibberti

these are some of the sites that you can read to understand things I know what I talk about is heavy all I can recommend is that we take Iodine this improves our intelligence and rids our bodies of a lot of the heavy metals a minimum dose of Iodine when you were ill used to be between 1.5 & 3 grams back in the olden days, Do you think they would give us that if it was poisonous which is what they tell us about Iodine.

so this is the research from one team about fluoride inhibiting ACHE

zdnet.com/article/a-blood-t...

There's another post in the lancet I think with another separate link when I come across it I'll post it up.

This is an informative site shows you snippets of what's going on, this page ceri.com/trypto.htm

links to the banning by the FDA of tryptophan which cures depression,

They ain't on your side, this is why it's so hard to cure yourself using doctors, you have to educate yourself, they only cure the symptom and not the cause which is insanity on the doctors behalf but when the system is so corrupted from the top to the bottom what do you expect I am amazed governments haven't been hung for their corruption but when you dumb down everyone they get away with it

Caffeine is also really bad for you as it inhibits the take up of serotonin caffeine is also an abortifacient and ACHE inhibitor

Fluoride also inhibits Melatonin which is also linked to depression have a read of all the things melatonin is linked to.

link.springer.com/article/1...

as to the toxicity of Fluoride or the natural version Fluorine

chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/fluorin...

now this is the Fluoride that they used to put into the british water up until last year they are also using fluoride to bind medicines this is 633kb have a look at the toxicity scale both have a ranking of 3 out of 4 and obviously using outright in some of the antidepressants they give you

datasheets.scbt.com/sc-2535...

fluoridationfacts.com/scien...

consumerhealth.org/articles...

When I come across how fluoride is made i'll post the info up but it basically comes from the tailings which uranium are extracted from they can only extract 15% uranium from the mining process, these tailings then go into making chemical fertiliser Yes the stuff they grow your food in. The smoke that comes from this process goes onto the smokestack walls which they rake off and put into your water they call this fluoride,

this then contributes to lowering our IQs and makes you not question your governments who are being controlled by these corporations, anyone see the anonymous marches on Friday the 13th trying to expose the hundreds of politicians who are not very pleasant people.

These are some of the facts behind meditation.

youtube.com/watch?v=m8rRzTt...

And noona I also think its funny that our education system is so poor it teaches people not to educate themselves even when it comes to our own lives,

do you know Doctors listen to 18 seconds of people describing their symptoms they then cut them off and prescribe a pill this leads to 10% of all people getting the wrong diagnosis have a look at the MSDS and look at the side effects of the Drugs.

They don't want people knowing these facts about our system because they are generating money lots of money for themselves there are heaps of cures from just plants but if anyone values their health it starts with water as that's about 60% of your bodyweight having basic common sense and trying to help others should be the No1 thing on this planet not the last thing they think of.

Don't be sorry It is not my health it's yours, and the Truth stuff which the media calls conspiracy comes from my own work on this matter and can't really be relayed but once you are aware of the possibility that maybe the gov are not on your side you will begin to see it clearly, everyone I talk to thinks I'm mad then comes back a year later and says you were not wrong about this as they then see the truth about things. I'm currently trying to get Sydney council to remove the bromine they put into the swimming pool water which is highly toxic to ingest for humans yet they do not check this and jeopardize everyones health as they too can't be bothered to research what goes into their bodies and just trusts authority.

As to your health If you don't want to research things that's fine I can only point people in the right direction and give you are starting place to take responsibility for your own life, researching the way the body works and the lies we are told by people who work for money is fascinating in my opinion. but some people would prefer to turn on the TV and pay the consequences later none of us should suffer ill health yet the majority do.

when someone prescribes me an anti depressant that is going to deplete my stomach bacteria which then leads onto other absorption problems due to your villi not getting enough B6 and starts a cascade of deficiencies which eventually end up as cancer and other nefarious things then I want to know about it but that's just me

other people are quite happy to be ill obviously

The fluoride links clearly state it's a poison and if other people want to use this info as a starting point then they will see it causes arthritis and calcification of the brain due to fluoride having an affinity with calcium and the body storing the calcium into the soft tissues.

The Iodine works on over 200 parts of the body and is the most potent anti biotic anti viral and anti septic there is but not at 150mcg the reason we don't need such high doses compared to a hundred years ago is that we understand it far more now and realise that we only need a smaller amount.

All I'm giving people are starting points we need humans that are going to educate themselves not dismiss things cos they are 10 or 100 years old do you think the BMA who tested pasteurisation in 1928 and concluded that milk that has heat applied to it has no beneficial effect for the human body whatsoever, is science to be discarded because you think its old,

when heat is applied to the majority of things it breaks the bonds or bends chemicals.

if you expect someone else to do the work for you and you do not take responsibility for your own health you are the only one that is going to suffer. we have been conditioned to believe what we are told and that there are not cures for illnesses when simple things do indeed work as Iodine has been proven to cure 90% of thyroid disease as one example.

I'm not digging you out but others will read this and stop at your comment and this will put people off, again this is their choice but they need to know research things and you will literally be a lot more happy in your lives able to enjoy playing with their grandchildren and not worry about if they are going to fall over or be put into a nursing home where their kids forget about them.
