492869 tn?1285018933 Since autonomic dysfunction can be so difficult to treat, I was thinking it might be a good idea for us to list all of the possible treatments we are aware of.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am thirty eight and I have had OCD at varying levels all through my life. Most of the problems that I have concern feelings of being dirty and further contamination if I touch public things. I am currently taking 150 zoloft, but I don't see any improvements or changes in my OCD feelings. I was wondering if, maybe for some people, there just isn't any medicine or therapy that can help. I have been told about behavior therapy, but it scares me too much to try it.
1713494 tn?1327519682 After trying a variety of medicines and combinations of medicines my doctor has suggested ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). Has anyone undergone this procedure and if it worked well, how did you feel afterwords? Could you go back to school? Did you have side effects? Please respond if you have had it recently (like in the last 10 years). Alot of horror ECT stories stem from the 60s, 70s and probably 80s.
Avatar f tn Bioresonance therapy is similar to electromagnetic therapy (EMF), a practice that has gained a lot of attention in the alternative treatments community.

Avatar f tn The good news is, there are a lot of treatments out there for anxiety...relief comes, it just takes time, work and patience on our part. There really isn't a "magical cure" per se, but learning how to cope is possible with therapy, and there are a lot of different meds that have helped countless people control their symptoms. You're stuck in the anxiety cycle, where your anxiety triggers scary thoughts and fears, which of course then triggers more anxious feelings.
Avatar f tn Hi, Thankyou you both for your kind replies, I am waiting to see a private doctor so that I can ask about all these other treatments, my own oncoligist knows nothing about these treatments. She did look up hyperthemia but told me it has caused kidney failure, were you told this Igeli? Because of the NHS system here in England I cant seem to get any info on treatments that arent used on the NHS.
Avatar f tn When I was 16 I started having anxiety for no reason, I'm 26 now and still struggle with it daily and for the past 10 years I've been on every medicine you can imagine and nothing has worked. No doctor or myself has been able to find any sort of trigger it just happens all of a sudden and I can't control it. Has anyone else had this issue? Any medicines that you can suggest that I try?
3161914 tn?1344102618 i know there has been a lot of focus on the involvement of excess glutamate in the brain in relation to ocd and depression. So far i've tried 3 different anti depressants which have had negative results. I am not sold yet on the serotonin theory. I appreciate the reply.
1094370 tn?1317134825 I saw a dentist who is VERY knowledgeable about lyme and spirochetes. He said that he has heard of some amazing recovery stories of people using Ozone Therapy. He mentioned a Dr. Robert Rowen in Santa Rosa (he doesn't know this guy or have any affiliation with him). He has a youtube video up. Anyhow, has anyone looked into this? Just curious....
1318245 tn?1274224373 If so, then you truly need to look at anxiety as your problem. Anxiety usually has a root cause and with therapy you can find out what that is and deal with it. Traumatic events can happen to us during our lives and although we think we've dealt with them, we haven't and it rears it's ugly head as anxiety. It may even be something you've totally forgotten about, and therapy will help you discover what this is so you can deal with it properly.
Avatar m tn if its HCV and nothing else I wouldnt rush to treating you but would let things play out as the therapy can be difficult and cause a lot of side effects. there may also be new meds available soon in the post-liver transplant setting.
Avatar m tn hi basically what physically would actually be causing you to feel dizzy/unbalnaced asthough your walking on a boat if you suffer from anxiety and dont have it during a panic attack but most of the time alot of people say its caused through hyperventalating but i dont seem to experience this when i get it .
Avatar f tn Some people just take medicine, some people undergo psych therapy and medicine, and some just go thru therapy. Kim Bassinger, the actress, she went the therapy-only route and made it through. Me, I went through therapy and medicine, took a year of exposure therapy to get around the big attacks, and I still take the medicine more than ten years later. It all depends on the person as to what works for them.
Avatar f tn PTSD is a very particular diagnosis and has treatments that are different from those with other anxiety disorders. But to truly know if you have it, you need to see a professional who knows how to diagnose it, and a doctor isn't that person.
Avatar m tn Medication combined with therapy is proven to be the best treatment, however there are a ton of alternative treatments if medication isnt your thing. Id recommend therapy to anybody though...everyone needs someone to talk to and that kind of guidance and such. So, dont worry about it, but get it checked just in-case for ease of mind and so you can take the next steps to treat it if it is anxiety. Anyway, excersize is proven to help anxiety. So is healthy eating.
248167 tn?1220363690 I HEAR A LOT OF ANXIETY SUFFERERS LIKE ME COMPLAIN ABOUT TINGLING/NUMBING SENSATIONS ON HEAD AND FACE. HOW CAN WE KNOW IF IT'S JUST ANOTHER HORRIFYING SYMPTOM OF ANXIETY AND NOT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS LIKE TIA'S?
6579347 tn?1388502368 I tried a long series of acupuncture treatments for my severe anxiety disorder about, oh, eight or nine years ago. I think I went, like, thirty or forty times. My experience was that the treatments had a very, very, very light anti-depression + anti-anxiety benefit. It was nothing that lasted for a significant period of time, and nothing robust enough to get me functional in the world.

Avatar f tn I was hoping for some information on supressive therapy. I do not have insurance or much money but this is definately something I want to do. I have been researching it but I feel a little overwhelmed. I am pretty forgetful and my schedule is very inconsistant so fewer pills a day would be better. That is the main reason I was looking at Vatrex or generic. My main concerns are price, effectiveness, and side effects.
Avatar m tn Does anyone have knowledge of future treatments (2 - 3 ) years out. Taking current treatments extremely risky. Dr sez if biopsy comes back within the 2 to 3 range on fibrosis he wants to wait.
Avatar m tn Are there any natural treatments for lyme disease? Can the body over time fight off lyme disease and clear the disease?
Avatar m tn I would recommend therapy to help you learn how to deal with your anxiety. They can help you find out why you're having anxiety and also teach you coping skills. What your caffeine intake, exercise, eat healthy and try to keep your stress level down. The PE may be caused by anxiety.
Avatar m tn The effectiveness of depression-specific psychotherapy can be enhanced by medical-psychotherapeutic collaboration and use of guided self-directed change efforts, marital or family therapy, and participation in therapy groups. A coordinated program of care combining the benefits of pharmacologic and psychosocial interventions and drawing on the expertise of physicians and psychotherapists is recommended for the treatment of depression." Good luck...
