meds on and off

[Guest guest]

hello all,

i actually wrote this to ZEB, but thought i should throw it in the

group, ya never know what comes to the surface........rik

 

 

 

i wanted run something by you, concerning me coming/being off the

medication taken for anxiety. i took lorazepam 1mg 3X per day, and

inderal(propranolol) 20mg 3X per day. i am happy to tell you that i

have managed to come off the lorazepam which was a complete

nighmare! but i did it this time! (O: and boy am i happy about that

one. such a nasy drug.......i came off the inderal as well, and was

a lot easier than the lorazepam (ativan). after a few weeks, i

started having real problems with nerves, very raw and i was very

anxious, attacks. attacks means or feels like when you stand on the

edge of the john hancock buildings top, or someone holding a knife

when having a talk with your neighbor or walk through a crowd to

just name a few circumstances, very uncomfortable. so i went back on

the least addictive medication again (inderal)just 5 to 10mg 1X per

day or i skip a day or two and see how it goes, i feel better and

relaxed. i have taken the nerve sedative from " doc " but don't feel

relaxed, also take viamines B E CO Q10 biotin calcium and magnesium

in capsules and mash any pill to powder. also juice few times per

week, eat just about no meats anymore, cut the dairy

completely......... i think i'm on the right track here....anyhoo,

i'm writing you, because i don't have the money for doc and feel

uncomfortable asking, so that's why i email. also i'm getting sick

and tired talking and or thinking about this, 20 years is a long

time feeling misserable! been doing ok though, so now i was

wondering what your thought where about this, perhaps you have a

hint?? i drink teas, chamomile, tension tamer and some lose herbs

that i use in tea.... catnip, scullcap and passionflower. no caffein

and stopped drinking alcohol and smoke no more (I keep trying :)i

walk /run/bicyle almost every day........i try to think and breath

good and relax as much as i can........uh, should i not worry too

much about the medication??? i guess that is it. thanks, rik
