Avatar m tn It's not time top stop going then. Therapy can't be rushed. It's also possible the therapist you chose isn't right for you. It's possible CBT isn't the right form of therapy for you -- it's the gold standard for anxiety, insofar as there is one and there really isn't, but depression can be a different can of worms.

8513688 tn?1398467158 People must demand their right to effective pain relief, and pain treatment must not be denied to people who live with intractable pain conditions for the sole reason of protecting the budgets of the DEA and other anti-drug police bureaucracies that perpetuate prohibition -- a highly ineffective effort to keep "illegal" drugs from our borders that's failed miserably since the 1930s. We don't need or want police setting policy on the practice of medicine.
Avatar f tn Some do very well on the new Armour at a different dose. I do not see any labs listed with your post or comparisons so it is not clear if after the new formulation your numbers may have dropped a bit. How you feel is your best guide to doseage so if you don't feel well it may be in need of tweaking. Many people say the TSH is useless on combined therapy and that they feel best with the free T3 in the high normal range and the free T4 in the upper third or half.
Avatar f tn t handle them either (I apparently am very sensitive to that type of med and they make me EXTREMELY hyper and actually increase my pain a LOT) I currently take hydrocodone for pain and ambien for sleep. A while back I was having trouble with the Ambien not working and my doctor tried me on trazodone, but once again, I reacted badly to it and rather than it helping me sleep, it made me hyper and I was not able to sleep for 2 1/2 days while taking it!

I do not know if you are able to recieve avastin or not but you might suggest it to your Dr. I am currently back on Gemzar (having been on it 2 years ago) and we are now trying it with avastin. If not there are still a lot of drugs out there, so hang in there.
Avatar m tn The first couple weeks my wife and I both noticed a big improvement with my symptom of ADD. Than all of a sudden it stopped working. I told my doctor, he changed it to Bupropion 300mg XL.

901137 tn?1267626189 I have treatment resistant moderate depression. (My doctor characterizes it as "moderate" as I am able to function on a daily basis. While saying this he acknowledges that it doesn't feel moderate to me) I tend to keep the hurt to myself. I was wondering if there are others who are experiencing the same situation.
