Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Has anyone been diagnosed with GAD? My 1st diagnosis was in 2016 and I suffered and anxiety episode for about 2 months. It scared the crap out of me because I was not sure what was happening to me. I was placed on Lexapro and it helped. I had another episode in 2020 when COVID hit, it was not as bad

GROWN WITH SEVERE HOMESICKNESS AND TRAVEL ANXIETY
Hi everyone, I've been on here quite a few times and have dealt with my past struggles. I still deal day to day. Currently, my biggest battle so far is leaving home and traveling. It's something I've always wanted to do but my brain just makes it so hard. I've always been the type to hate sleepovers

panic attacks
hello all. I’m new here. I’ve suffered with anxiety and depression for about ten years now but the past few months the anxiety has gotten bad. I’ve started medications again but the panic attacks are no joke lately. I’ll have a couple good days and then out of no where have one happen. Any suggestions

sensitive to noises
I have PTSD so and I’m not sure if this has anything to do with it but there are certain times when I haven’t slept a lot or I’m not feeling good, I tend to get very jumpy and sensitive to loud sounds. It seems the slightest loud sound makes me jump out of my own skin. At times like this I wear my ear

Newbie, hi
I'm 60. I was diagnosed 1 month ago with RLS. I've had symptoms since I was about 13 years old. I'm taking Pregabalin and have just moved onto my clinical dose. I'm not enjoying the side effects but hope they will pass. My life has been one of dealing with excessive daytime sleepiness, mental health

Weaning off Prednisolone after miscarriage
Hi Ladies, Sorry for another question, but I have been on 20mg of Steroids for 6/7 weeks since my transfer. Sadly my pregnancy ended in a mmc and I have been advised to wean myself off the steroids. The clinic haven't been too clear about what that means. I was taking 4 5mg tablets per day, and just

Yes, I agree, ADHD needs a new name!!!
I think it can be rather negative and traumatizing to stick these labels on kids at such a young age. Just because some kid is having some trouble paying attention in class, well then they get labeled as having some kind of disorder and then they’re probably thinking Why is something wrong with

Hallucinations and depression.
I'm having a awful year as far as suicide attempts, and hallucinations. My doctor started me in a different antidepressant, and it's made my mind alot worse than ever before. I think my suicidal thoughts have become worse instead of better. The doctors office is closed the next 3 days.

ECT for Bipolar Disorder
I’m new here so please be kind. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 about two months ago and I’m starting to think Lamotrigine is not enough. Has anyone ever tried electro-convulsive therapy? During a stint in a psych ward I saw this treatment help others but I’m honestly afraid of it.

Advice on medication
Hi Everyone, I've been offered medication as an alternative to the mini pill as I've tried Noriday which caused floods, and Desogestrel makes me bleed constantly. Norethisterone and Provera have been mentioned but I don't know which one to go on. I'm a bit weary of Norethisterone as Noriday made me

How to get over weight gain?
Hi all. I’ve never had a positive body image and I’ve been struggling with an eating disorder since 2018. For personal reasons and decided to start recovery in April 2022 and stop all the food restrictions. The first few months I ate enormous amounts of food and, obviously, it resulted in a weight

lorazepam effect in elderly
my father (89) has just been prescribed Lorazepam- he has dementia and has nightmares at night and poor sleep. The lorazepam seems to help him sleep but he’s in a terrible state during the day, very disoriented and depressed- he’s been on it 4 days and I’m worried - my question is should he keep taking

Alternative/Natural therapies for RLS
For those who want to manage their RLS without medication, there are recent science articles on Paeoniae Alba, a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. It seems interesting. I'm too far down the medication route but for those newly diagnosed or with milder RLS or those who do not want to take Alpha2Delta

I've decided to go with eight donor frozen oocytes and fertilise with fresh semen next week. Has anyone gone down this route?
The donor produced and froze 18 oocytes three weeks ago. So I'm hoping that means it's a lot stronger. Please do Share your stories especially if you are using the same method. I'm currently on progynova to prepare the lining of the womb and would appreciate any good tips or suggestions
