Avatar f tn Some vit/min you can take at night to help relax the muscles and such and some during the day for Energy..Do some homework and find which one you take for what. There are tons of natural ways to detox with out meds, but I would highly recommend the BP med right now. Just know that the physical detox will be over soon..It is dealing with the mental and staying clean that takes the cake..Just take it day by day and get that Support.
Avatar f tn My Dr. prescribed me Clonidine .1mg (2 per day) It does seem to help.
Avatar n tn That's great that you are getting counseling. You can worry all you want, but it won't make anything better. You will have to learn to let go of what you can't do anything about. You will be there for him if he ever gets help with his problems. Listen to your husband. You can't keep getting the stress of it or it can kill you--literally. Put your energies into others who need your love. Everyone needs love. But your son is beyond responding to it at the moment.
Avatar n tn My mother has very similar symtoms but hers sound worse than yours. She cant quit dwelling on things and then will get angy and border on violence. Your way ahead of the game by admitting that you know its not normal to feel this way. I would look up symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It sounds worse than it is. Its basically the inability to control emotions. Always reading into things that aren't really there and then letting your mind run away with you.
Avatar n tn I've gone through lots of issues with my mental health for about ten years now.. Some reasons due to the bad choices I've made, traumatic events in my life, addiction, uncontrolled situations, a disfunctional family, fear of the unknowing, and abandonment. Since I was 15 I have been taking psych and depression meds to help cope and deal with it all. It's been a rollercoaster. When I found out I was pregnant, about a week ago, my doctor told me to stop taking all my meds.
804317 tn?1274207759 I hope you don't mind me commenting. I was sexaully assaulted around dthe same age by a same sex cousin who was five years older than me probably for a year or so. ( can't really remember) For years my sexual identity was Indifferent. I knew I liked boys but was to shy and guarded to talk to any. My sister went Through the same thing as me so I could share with her my thoughts about it. Kind of like a Release for me.

Avatar f tn Perhaps this problem has nothing to do with mental health, if it is to do with your central nervous system. Do you feel you both have mental health problems, or is it pain?
Avatar f tn Has anyones mental health been impacted by living with endometriosis or finding out they have the illness? If so how are you coping/dealing with it?

Avatar m tn I found that in my son, who has a variety of mental health issues, guanfacine seemed to agitate him to the point that he physically attacked his older brother, literally 3 times his size. In addition, in a bizarre medication mixup, I had taken that medication in place of my regular medication and found the same to be true, I was extremely irritable and felt like I bordered on uncontrollable anger.
Avatar f tn if your under a doctors care...ask him for some clonidine, it is a blood pressure medication and helps more than anything i have ever tried with withdrawals...i cant express how much this medication helped...it is not addictive and its quite cheap too. really worth asking about!!
1260240 tn?1336077448 ve been given and whether I think it would be beneficial for my son. We are desperate for help for him so I think this will be worth going ahead with. The hospital consultant psychiatrist is going to call me today or tomorrow so I will put more questions to her then.
1260240 tn?1336077448 Hi my son Glen is 16 and is autistic and has global developmental delay. The professionals want Glen to have a mental health assessment due to Glen's behaviours over the years, at the moment he self harms, i.e hits his head, and is extremely slow in all ways, has stopped speaking for the last few months, and has no motivation at all. The psychiatrist prescribed risperidone and prozac which have helped with the aggression, as there was a time when Glen was hitting out at people around him.
Avatar m tn Let's start by saying that I suffer from a Generalized Anxiety Disorder and ongoing Depression. The severity of the depression comes in "phases" (for lack of a better word) in that it'll be subdued for 9-12 months and then all of a sudden I feel like I'm heading back into the abyss. Well I'm back on the slippery slope and I can feel it getting a little worse every morning, every night.
Avatar f tn i will do that tomorrow, thanks for your help yeah i do suffer with depression but i have extreme mood swings with it. I just wondered if anyone knew what it was or if they had been referred? Thankyou mammo, you always helpful and i really appreciate it...
1719918 tn?1309297630 I spend most of my day browsing the internet looking for my symptoms and what it could be, or sitting in my room worrying for hours. This has lasted for about a week and seems to only get worse. There has been some points where I feel better later at night, but not all the way. I just wanna feel normal again. And I have daily panic attacks thinking that I won't. If it means anything, I had a bad stomache bug about 3 weeks before hand and a cold for several days about 2 weeks ago.
