So the doc prescribes lyrica for a CFS, which is to give energy and this is day three and this medication has me fucked up…… it has me feeling the same symptoms I get with my IIH I have no idea how I’m supposed to get energy with this I can barely walk. It makes my brain foggy. I don’t understand this. Who else has experienced this? Arghhh

I have a past due balance at my doc of over $100, but have been out of my anxiety meds for several weeks now. I only take these as needed, and the last few days my anxiety has been through the roof and making me physically ill. I reached out on the messaging on their website and asked for a temporary refill (10 days or so) because I had an panic attack last night and am physically sick from anxiety. They are requiring me to make an appt for a med check (that I’ve been on for years)..but in order to make that appt; I need to first pay the past due balance. Which I can’t afford right now. I FEEL SO STUCK. And it’s not helping my anxiety.
I’m not sure what to do but I feel overwhelmed and physically ill from it. Like a boulder in my stomach. What can I do? 😫😫 #Anxiety #meds #help

I just love these little games my health insurance plays every so often since my doctor raised my Gabapentin for my Fibromyalgia to the highest dose of 3,600 mg a day many months ago. When I go to call it in, they won’t fill it for another ten days. This leaves me over a week with no meds, terribly ill, and at great risk for seizures. Not a med you can cold turkey without paying the consequences. When they will fill it in ten days, they will only fill 90 pills. I currently take 12 of them a day. Obviously, this does not add up at all. This is a last resort Fibro med as I did not do well on the others and had heavy side effects with them. I’ve been trying to be better at advocating for my own health this year but I’m just not getting anywhere with it. Any Fibro Warriors out there have any advice for me? Have done Cymbalta and Lyrica. Also have had gastric sleeve surgery at then end of 2021. Suffer from migraines, Bipolar II, depression, anxiety, PCOS, arthritis, and my thyroid bounces around all over the place as well. I am on Disability and on state insurance. I am open to any advice! Thank you!! #Fibromyalgia #meds #treatments #Neuropathy #MultipleDisabilities

I've had vibrations under feet, like a pulse or vibration, it seems like it's only when feet are on floor sitting or standing, it's not painful but I do get foot pain during flare ups, all over pain, just come from a back to back flare up and it is my stress levels that don't help, I guess I have to stop caring what other people think and say. I read some where, what other people think of me is none of my business, I can cop that, if it mattered, really someone would say something, so stressing doesn't help and I know the truth and what I do with my issues only I can deal with and that goes for my fibromyalgia and my liver transplant issues, it's such a gift and I will honour and always remember,I am here to be a help for anyone who has had my experiences, so I will study psychology, I did parapsychology and that's about every human being on this planet, So I'd like to thank everyone who shares in fibromyalgia friends it is a doosie multifaceted and the barometric pressure could have something to do with the peripheral pain but it's not really something that can be measured so far as I can tell, but it's not something that can be ruled out either, it's a beautiful sunny day in South Australia so I'm going to get some paintings finished while my spasms & twitches are limited to some unseen annoying but can do some finer details on my triptages need last touch ups, thanks for sharing, it's not so lonely will my fibro friends I love you all so very much☮️💜✝️🙏Sincerely ShazZx💜x

has anyone had any side effects taking venaflaxine??? #meds #Depression

I’m on a pretty low dose of 20mg cipralex but going up to 40mg I think it’s making me extra anxious. Hope it’s okay to talk about meds here.

Just wanted tips for when it first makes you extra anxious. Or your experience with meds.

If you feel comfortable sharing if you do take meds what dose you are on or what you find helps you even if you don’t take meds, but you don’t want to share that’s perfectly okay
Thanks Everyone #meds #Medication #Dose #dosage #heal #Pain #Hope #Advice #yourexperience #coping #Tips #tryingtobehopeful #adjustjng #change

I super frustrated today. The past 6 weeks I have been feeling off. I live with bipolar disorder and severe anxiety, panic disorder and OCD tendencies. I noticed I was having more severe symptoms and could not figure out why. Over Christmas I was sleeping more than usual (I’ve been on my stable recovery journey for an extended period of time) and was having recurring panic attacks which I am not used to anymore. When I came back to work after the holidays, a coworker pointed out I was not “acting myself” and was doing a check in with me. My mood has been all over the place with little motivation and panic attacks have been coming on fast and strong.
This morning, I noticed in my blister packs that my Prozac looked a little different. The writing wasn’t what I was used to. I was on one generic brand, and now (after telling them not to do this) they switched it going back 6 ish weeks ago. They did not consult me. The pharmacist or whoever made that decision just made it. Some people are very sensitive to brand changes and I happen to be one of those people. The suicidal thoughts that were once an old friend were back and I had been blaming myself for all this! And contributing it to stress etc. I’ve been so hard on myself when really- it was just a pharmacist not informing me of my care plan.
I can only control what I can. I control my self care routine and going to therapy and doing all the things I know keep me well. I cannot dispense my own medication. I put my trust into my pharmacist for this. Last time this happened, unfortunately I almost passed away from complications.
Moral of the story- it’s NOONEs choice except mine to approve/deny a medication brand change because I know my body and what’s best for me. I can do hard things and I will get through this, but not without being a little sour about the lack of patients voices being heard.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk lol!
Stay safe my friends. And always advocate for yourselves! #meds #Depression #Anxiety #PanicDisorder
