Health Anxiety coping tips
anyone got some good ones? In a pretty bad bout right now and some of my old strategies don’t seem to be cutting it. Restarted medication 3 weeks ago but not noticing much help yet with the obsessive thoughts and ruminations. Appreciate any positive suggestions. Thanks.

I have bipolar 1, anxiety and OCD. I have been in remission for about 15 years, but recently I have been experiencing feelings of depression and low self esteem. I have an excellent doctor and will be contacting him tomorrow. I would like to know what coping strategies others use when they feel that

Sertraline or SSRI with Olanzapine
Did anyone take Sertraline or another SSRI with Olanzapine. I have bad anxiety and am scared of Olanzapine because of a higher cardiac event risk. And then if you add Sertraline it can also cause adverse affects. So anxious about Olanzapine and then both.

Sleeping aid with Afib.
Just curious to see what you folks that have problems going to sleep have been prescribed to help and not affect your Afib. I've tried, Benadryl, valarian, clemastine, and meletonin and they either aggravate my afib or just don't work. I might need to have a doctor call in a prescription as the over

idk what to do
I've had three medication changes in the past year and each time it helps for a time, and then I have panic attacks and I just spiral down to the point where I can't function. I was fighting through it at college for a while, but then it was just to bad and couldn't keep going to class or being around

Can modafinil treat Parkinson's?
Parkinson’s disease drugs may cause daytime sleepiness. Some people experience sleep attacks, during which they suddenly feel intensely tired or even fall asleep. Because modafinil is a stimulant, it can help people feel more awake and alert. Some also experience a heightened sense of focus on the

What's your experience of coming of steroids
So I have my rheumatology appointment next week so hopefully will get a better understanding of what's going on. In the meantime I am on mycophenalate and a weaning dose of prednisolone for eye inflammation, started with 800mg in December and am now on 2.5mg before stopping in 2 months time. However

The lonely cycle
I've struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life but I spent most of my 20s using drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. I still have some substance abuse issues but the more I deal with those the more overwhelming the depression and anxiety is. I can't seem to keep my home clean or up on

Thought of the day - B12 paradox
Like many aspects of life that we're all trying to grapple with, good health comes from a very fine balance. There is no 'one way' to do things, but a sweet spot in the middle. And I believe it's the same with diet, in particular B12. B12 is a regulator of homocysteine. Low B12 is a driver for high

hello darkness
I come now feeling depressed and defeated. I feel mostly sad than mad. I am angry about life. I had enough of people breaking my heart, by leaving me to start their new life as an adult. I am hurting deeply. Just as a background about me, I have high functioning autism, bipolar 2, and have suicidal thoughts
