Yesterday I posted my question on Graves Disease and being treated for it with radioactive iodine with success? The treatment with radioactive iodine was a success as it did stop my over active thyroid. I no longer have Graves Disease but now, without a working thyroid, I have permanent hypothyroid. My question is: what natural alternatives are there for someone who has lifelong hypothyroid and a dead thyroid, to replace Synthroid/Levothroid meds? I don't want to rely on those meds and I want to know if there's a natural way to support my body's need for the thyroid hormones.

Levothroid

I had graves disease too. I had the radio-active iodine uptake too...I have to take synthroid. It isn't bad once they figure out your dose. I've been level for years. And even without insurance I think the script is only $15 - with insurance it is only $5 (for a month). As far as alternatives - I don't think there are any - unless you are talking about taking bovine (raw thyroid) which I don't know about but you can google.

No. There are no natural thyroid hormones, and without a thyroid, you won't produce your own thyroid hormones no matter what supplement you take.I see this all the time with diabetic patients. They don't like the idea of needing to take a medication for the rest of their life (insulin).You have two choices: accept your situation. Your graves treatment was a success. You can take synthetic thyroid hormones that work just as well as the natural ones your thyroid used to produce. Have a long and healthy life.Or, resist. Don't take your medication as directed, and spend your money on some wild schemes that will ultimately just hurt you.Some patients find it easier if they imagine someone who is worse off. Some people have lost their arms, and they don't grow back. Some people are permanently paralyzed. Some people have diseases that can't be treated, so they constantly suffer. Be glad that your situation can be treated.

The only alternative to the medication rx to you is a product called armour. It is only available by prescription but it is made from animal rather than being synthesized in a lab. armourthyroid.com/Talk to your doctor about this. He/She will be best able to address this with you.

Honestly, the meds are more reliable - armor is the only "natural" option (don't be fooled, it's still a med - and comes with risks for contaigen as well), and the response people can have to them varies greatly. Good luck whatever you end up with though....

Are there natural alternatives after having radioactive iodine treatment for Graves Disease? In 2000, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. I was 125 lbs. and in 2 months, had lost 35 lbs. I was eating a lot and felt fine, except for the heart palpitations and shaky hands. So, I received radioactive iodine treatment immediately and have been on Synthroid and Levothroid ever since. I am interested in finding out if there are natural alternatives for my thyroid, which is no longer in working condition. Any suggestions?

I want to begin with please asking you to have an open mind before I begin. This is a natural alternative that has been used for thousands of years and it really works. Although it has a bad reputation, it really is a medicine and just now is getting light of the fact that it works. If it is at all possible in your state to receive this as a treatment, please research and look into it. I begin with this story of another individual with Graves Disease.While at the doctor's office a few weeks back we were discussing treatment options for my thyroid disorder (I have failed radio-iodine twice now). I made the comment that the current treatment options paled in comparison to what good mj(marijuana) could do for me. Doc looked a bit surprised at this point. After his assurance that this conversation would not make it into my chart, I proceeded to tell him how I was able to tolerate this disorder without taking the meds he prescribed. He looked very confused at this point. Long story short...he convinced me to quit smoking for a few weeks to see what my labs would reveal and to see how I tolerated life on "approved meds". Over the following 2 weeks T-3 and free T-4 went sky high (no pun intended), and my TSH returned to <0.001 (not good at all). All this while on Topezole@ 10mg , Effexor@ 150mg, and Inderal @ 660mg to control my heart rate. Started smoking again Friday night and I have completely dropped the "approved meds". I feel great again, I'm not poisoning my body with "approved meds", My doctor is seeing the light, and sex is better again.Here is an article on a doctor treating his patient with medical cannabis: mcsocal.com/blog/alternative-treatments-for-graves-disease-marijuana-cannabisGeneral information on how Cannabis treats Graves Disease and it's symptoms, as well as the negative effects of treatment: medicalmarijuana.com/medical-uses/condition.cfm?conID=51I know this isn't for everyone, but when there is little option left, it is good to have an open mind and really dwell into all forms of alternatives even when there is a negative social stigma around it.

Prozac

What will i get prescribed next for anxiety disorder? Ive been on seroquel, pristiq, buspar, welbutrin, prozac, zoloft, ativan, and paxil. im currently on buspar and pristiq and its been months but they are not helping me at all, in fact i feel worse. what med can i expect next from my psychiatrist and what your experience

Prozac

View my previous answer about antidepressants/anxiolytics at au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110921032742AAZn9qX You still seem to be of the medication mindset. One definition of insanity is keeping doing the same thing, and expecting different results. See au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110723233137AAhOjeN about anxiety.

How to stop being anxious all the time? I have an anxiety disorder and people always ask me why im nervous and im so quiet. ive tried medications: seroquel, pristiq, buspar, zoloft, paxil, welbutrin, ativan .5mg, and prozac. Im currently on buspar and pristiq. None of these medications help and im still very nervous all the time. People ask me why im always nervous and its irritating because they dont know i have anxiety disorder. What should i do. Which medications works for anxiety
Prozac is great. It requires monitoring, but the results are good. I would also suggest going to a therapist.They can help you deal with anxiety

can my anxiety increase while/before my period even if I'm on medication? I finally got my period after 3 months of not having it. ( it's irregular because tomorrow will only date 1 year from when i first got it) Anyway, I suffer from panic and anxiety disorder so i was prescribed 10 mg prozac, two days ago i started 20 mg, and i have been taking it for a little under a month. I felt some improvement because i didn't have a panic attack in forever, although i do have anxiety, i started to see it lessen more and more. ( most of the time atleast) but this week before my period started this morning, I felt extra anxious and had a small panic feeling. I also have been thinking about life so much lately and it really frightened me thinking about how everyone will die one day. this alone sparked more anxiety. Is this normal even though im on medication, or are the meds not working yet?
What can I do about this MAJOR OCD tendency? I have OCD which is mostly controlled as I am on Prozac, however, lately I cannot go on the computer (meaning touch the mouse or keyboard) without gloves. The other day I ate something gross by the computer and I washed everything down but I can still "smell" it and it makes me want to throw up. Therefore, I will not touch anything in here without gloves. What can I do?It's not the fear of breaking my computer. Its the fear of the "smell" getting on my hands and not coming off.
Address why you are so worried about touching your computer without them. (Example: you are afraid your computer will break and you have no money for a new one or someone yelled at you about it) I recently started obsessing about a decision I made that really seemed to piss someone off, the more I obsessed about it, the bigger the problem got. You just have to know there is no way to go back and drop it.

Change your medication.. I have OCD and my laptop is white and I can check it in every detail... Now with my meds I let my kitty lay where the keyboard is.. But I'm mostly a checker,I can control my germ-phobia..

Use the Psychological principle of Extinction. What you will need to do is use your computer and mouse without gloves, for as long as you can (even if only 30 seconds). Then, go wash your hands and show yourself that the smell does in fact come off. Do this repeatedly, for longer durations on the computer and shorter durations of hand washing. In essence, you must prove to yourself that the smell doesn't stick. ;DAbove all, dont consider yourself abnormal. And dont be afraid, there is always a solution.

You could replace the mouse & keyboard, but that would just strengthen your OCD; I agree with Matt about using "extinction". View my previous answer about OCD at au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111016062504AAMfoS1 Also read the answer by Niki.

What are your experiences with 20mg Prozac and 0.5mg Klonopin? My doctor just prescribed me 20mg of Prozac and 0.5mg of Klonopin (both to be taken before bedtime, once daily). Has anyone taken these two meds together? What are you experiences? Also, I am considering halfing the pill and only taking 0.25mg of the Klonopin.I may want to add that I am taking them for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
I think doctors often prescribes benzos (the klonopin) to counteract some of the negative side effects of antidepressants (the prozac). I'd take both medications as prescribed.

Take both medications as indicated. They both are used for seizure disorders or panic disorder. Prozac is also used to treat major depressive disorder, bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder) obsessive-compulsive disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Is it worth taking prozac if I'm depressed and unhappy with my life? I've been growing more unhappy with my life over the past 3 years. I have all of the major symptoms of depression- constant feeling of sadness, lack of energy, and trouble sleeping or over sleeping. Because of all this I've become socially isolated and probably just seem weird to everyone. I'm not suicidal or anything, but I'm just constantly unhappy. I've tried everything I could to naturally solve this but I just can't seem to shake it. I've been thinking medication may be necessary, but I'm worried about the side effects. Can you share you're experience with prozac or other antidepressants like prozac?? Thanks
the side effects are the least of your concerns,as they are little if any.make an appointment with your primary,and talk honestly,and he will be able to help you greatly.a brief check up just to make sure every thing is o.k.and you'll be on the way to a new life.

Prozac

questions about prozac for anxiety? my psychiatrist upped my dose of prozac 10 mg to 20 mg. She told me to take 2 pills until the prescription came in. My mom thought it was a bad idea to so abruptly Double my dose, so she took each capsule and emptied some powder so when i took 2 pills it would still be less than 20 mg, she did this just so it's more gradual. Do you think i will get any side effects? I didn't really get any from 10 mg so i don't know what to think

Prozac

Tell your mom that a pharmacist (me) says that there's no need to do that. You went from taking 0 mg of Prozac to 10 without much problem, right? It's the same idea with an increase from 10 to 20 mg. Antidepressants like Prozac take 2 weeks to really start taking effect with regard to mood, and about 4 weeks to become fully effective. So the drug is affecting your brain's chemicals gradually anyway by abruptly increasing from 10 to 20 mg. If you're getting less than 20 mg right now, and your mom wants to gradually increase up to 20 mg, it would take even longer than 4 weeks to see the full effect of the whole 20 mg of Prozac once you start taking it.Also, if she's opening the capsules and dumping some powder out, there's no way of knowing exactly how much powder she's getting out of it each time. So you could be taking 12 mg one day, then if the next day she uses the rest of the capsule she opened, along with another 10 mg capsule, that would be 18 mg you're getting that day. The point is, you wouldn't be getting a consistent dose of medication as long as she's opening the capsules and pouring some of the powder out. Without a very accurate scale, there's no way to tell exactly how much of the powder she's dumping out each time.Bottom line: Tell your momma to let you start taking the two 10 mg tablets right away like the doctor (and this pharmacist) say. It's only an increase of 10 mg, and 20 mg is still a pretty low dose (that is, depending on your age). The increase of 10 mg is actually pretty gradual itself. 20 mg may not even work for you, and he may want to increase it again depending on how you respond. I've seen some patients in my pharmacy on up to 80 or 100 mg of Prozac per day.

was this a smart idea? my psychiatrist upped my dose of prozac 10 mg to 20 mg. She told me to take 2 pills until the prescription came in. My mom thought it was a bad idea to so abruptly Double my dose, so she took each capsule and emptied some powder so when i took 2 pills it would still be less than 20 mg, she did this just so it's more gradual. Do you think i will get any side effects? I didn't really get any from 10 mg so i don't know what to think
can medications influence serological blood tests? can a medication like prozac influece the results for serological blood tests like toxoplasmosis or lyme disease blood tests? can the drug cause a false-positive or false-negative?
Questions about Zyprexa? After being taken off of Zoloft, Prozac, and Ativan for depression and anxiety, I was recently put on Zyprexa. (Dosage: 2.5mg up to 2X daily - as needed. 10mg at bedtime.)I've lost the suicidal feelings and habits for the most part, but I still get sad and depressed. But here's the thing- I can suddenly feel absolutely excited and energetic within a few minutes. It doesn't stop there. I can go from being very pleasant to very angry and irritable for almost no reason at all. I notice the sudden change in mood, but me acknowledging the change in mood does not stop me from acting under the influence of the mood. I have gotten some other side effects such as EXTREME grogginess when I wake up (almost unable to get out of bed), weight gain, weakness, dry mouth, etc., but they seem much more insignificant than this one. I know this medication is also used for bipolar disorder, but for me it seems to be working the other way around. My drug addict friend told me that it's likely because I may be ADHD. Some medications and drugs do not work the way they are intended on untreated ADHD patients. I'm not sure if this is true, but i thought it's worth throwing out there.Any credible answers will be greatly appreciated!
How can I get my dog to walk on a lead and ride in the car? My jack russel is 1. I got her at 12 weeks of age and she is terrified of the car and walking. I have tried leaving the lead and harness on her etc and yet she still cowers and rolls up into a ball and shakes when it comes time to go walking or go in the car. I've tried a choker chain and a regular collar and she just flattens to the ground and won't budge. In the car she is terrified, back seat or front. The vet just prescribed Prozac but it hasn't made a difference. Other than that she has a normal jack russel temperament. Lively, happy and playful. I don't know what else to do.
What will my psychiatrist give me next? I have severe anxiety problems and I'm just 18 years old. How do you get over this problem? I see a psychiatrist on Tuesday. I'm currently on buspar and pristiq. In the past I've been on paxil, seroquel, Prozac, welbutrin, zoloft and Ativan. Unfortunately over the past yr none of these meds work. I've also been in therapy which hasn't worked and I've tried exercising and it hasn't worked.
My social worker raves over the lucinda bassett program which you can get cheap used on ebay, if you can find an old cassette player. Be sure the seller includes the workbooks. You have to work thru the program to get the benefits.anxiety can be a medication side effect. Do you take anything else, even over the counter?cut back on caffeinemake sure you get enough sleepare you sure you are getting good quality sleep? You could have sleep apnea or maybe a baby cries at night and keeps waking you upSitting in a hot bath and reading a novel helps me.Imo, seroquel or any other antipsychotic should not be prescribed for anxiety disorders. This class of meds is too toxic for anything but the most severe mental illnesses, which anxiety disorders are nothing like schizophrenia. Many psychiatrists are appalled at this new marketing of antipsychotics, which actually, I am pretty sure that is off label prescribing.

believe it or not medicine doesn't work for everyone and will always end up making things worse, but this isn't the answer to your question. ask your doctor about benzodiazepines such as xanax or klonopin, they work differently then the stuff ur taking now and get the job done a lot better. the only problem is theis are addictive and they will make you too happy and you could end up craving a higher dose. also realize that life is meant to have pain and happiness, and that u are not alone. but always remember you controll your life and if you relax and be happy with what you have, you could overcome your anxiety

Prozac

21 Years Old Had Head Pressure For Over A Year? I moved into my fathers 1 bedroom apartment a little over a year ago. Moving in was a hard task since I knew I'd be sleeping on a futon until I could find a good enough job to get my own place. This was such a stressful time which sent me into a deep depression. I moved in because my mother kicked me out. It's a long story not relevant to how I feel now. I started getting sick a lot. I started smoking a lot too. I've lowered my smoking intake to about half a pack a day now. I work as an assistant manager at a pizza place (stressed for minimum wage). I don't have a car, I worry about how i'm going to get to work everyday. I still sleep in the living room on the same futon. Heres the real problem... I get dizzy spells every single day. My face goes numb on one side or the other every single day. I have this numb sensation on the back of my head that feels like I've held an ice pack there all day. When I look up from my phone or computer my eyes seem like I'm not clear minded. I've been on prozac and celexa for depression and anxiety. I no longer take these medications because I don't feel depressed or anxious anymore. My neck feels tight along with my shoulders 24/7 and my left arm sometimes feels achy and numb, slowly running down into my fingers. I'm 21yrs old 5'5" and about 180. I live a pretty sedentary life style besides going to work for 8hrs a day on my feet all day. I have been suffering for way too long with this problem. I've had CT scans on my head saying they see inflammation in my sinuses and doctors keep telling me these head problems are coming from my sinuses. I take sudaphedrin pills every day and tension headache meds every single day which don't seem to help with dizziness and pressure or make my mind clear. I need help whether this is sinusitis, eye problems, a tumor, cancer, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety? I need help fast because I'm tired of living. Help please.
So scared I'm falling out if love with my boyfriend!? Ive been dating my boyfriend for 10 months now, were both 17, and hes the sweetest, most caring guy in the entire world. I've been feeling down since around april (possibly because of the birth control shot?) but he has been so supportive in helping me because he knows how it feels. He was diagnosed with clinical depression this time last year, went on prozac, and later met me and has conquered his depression. However, lately i have not been able to feel any of the love I used to for him. Within a matter of days all the love I had dissapeared and i began to become extremely anxious about my feelings almost to the point of throwing up. All I want is for these feelings to come back and these horrible ones are now controlling my life. I have told him all these feelings i've been having and hes so supportive and tells me he wont leave me unless its the choice i have to make. Sometimes, these feelings of love come back and i feel happy again but then the next minute their gone and I feel depressed. I have no interest for any other guys. All I feel comfortable doing with my boyfriend is cuddling in bed, and if we go out somewhere I feel like I am not having fun and become anxious. I have gone off all hormonal birth control to see if that is what is causing this. Am I falling out of love with my boyfriend? Or is my mind tricking me into it through depression and anxiety? Also, I have suffered from anxiety for 9 years, the first two years being severe. Help me save my relationship

Prozac

It could be the shot or it could just be that you are 17. I'm not being condescending or calling you immature. I'm just saying that maybe he isn't what you are really looking for even though he is sweet and supportive and everything a guy is "supposed to be" it might just not be for you. It's happened before to many people. If your feelings don't change soon then let him go. I hope you figure it out.

Hi Amanda, Well, Love comes from God. The truest, deepest, and eternal love that can never be lost, anyways.I don't intend to be judgemental here but I must tell you, out of love for you, that sexuality is intended to be consumated within the bond of marriage and not before it or outside of it.I deeply love a gal who is the same age as you and I wouldn't dream of "consumating" that love in its fullness until / unless we were married.I wish you the best, but please think about what I say.God Bless You.(But know too that love is much more than "feelings". Feelings come and go, ask anyone who has been married even for just one year. Discernment of your spouse, or potential spouse, must be made in a state of chastity. The very best thing, in my opinion, you will ever share with the one you love, will be a simple and deep friendship...if you have some grand parents or know some old people who've been happily married a long time...just ask them.) Take Care.

Why Do Comedians Make Prozac Jokes? bq is it for people with Anxiety
The second you make limits on what can be joked about is the day the thought police take over. There have been many jokes about way more sensitive issues in the past. It can promote intolerance...but can also promote awareness. It just depends on how mean-spirited the comic is. Nothing should be off limits...but it should at least be thoughtful.

Prozac

Prozac (fluoxetine) side effects, facial muscles? I've been on Prozac now for around a fortnight to treat clinical depression, and my starting dosage is currently 20mg daily.Aside from all the other and more drastic side effects, I now can't ignore sort of spasms which keep occurring in my face. I feel constantly as if the muscles around my mouth are being pulled upwards into a snarl and my face grows rigid and there's little I can do to stop this. Like a sort of gurn in reverse. On top of that my whole facial muscles and skin feel like they're tingling almost constantly when I try to prevent my face from going into spasm, which is driving me crazy. It's like I'm constantly having to work to keep my face in its normal relaxed posture, yet still failing some of the time, and a couple of friends have still pointed this out.I can't find this on any listed side effects for fluoxetine and haven't got an appointment with my GP until a week on Thursday, is there anybody who knows what I'm talking about/has had this happen/can share stories/knows what to do, please? Much help will be appreciated!Thanks for the help. I'd no idea about that. It does seem to be getting worse and although the spasms are confined to my face, I have been having a tingling sensation through my back and hands and arms... I think I'll make an emergency appointment with my doctor anyway, I seem to have been getting all of the worst side effects of my medicine even this early on and it doesn't seem to have taken to me, perhaps it'd be better to try something different.

Prozac

that is called a dystonic reaction. Can be an emergency if it gets worse ot your neck stiffens. If it gets worse go to an ER. If it does not wait for you appt.

Not sure what to do.....? Iveposted on yahoo answers before and for the most part have recieved good advice. I am 22 yr old man from new england, and I think at some point soon in my life Im going to kill myself. Now I know people can over exagerate this phrase if they had a bad day or something just went wrong, but each day I honestly think it might happen to me soon. Ive had suicidal thought since I was at least 12 but I ignored these thought or as you can say put them away but after high school they came back badly. Its been many highs and lows since I was 18 and I even consulted with a doctor and tried precriptions on paxil, celtrix, and now take 40mg of prozac.This drug is helpful in a sense that it gets me out in public and productive but I still dont feel good. Most recently Ive been pretty much living for other people in my life cause I dont care about myself at this point. I try to do as much good as i can for my close friends and family spending nearly my entire 40hr a week pay check on things for them. Because if I do commit suicide I know how it would affect some people in my life, and that is the reason I am still around is because I dont want those people to get hurt. But in the same token I dont like myself, being miserable for no reason, dealing with the headaches and stomach pains, and being so anxious. To counter the last three I smoke marijuana to calm me down and give me better peace of mind. I just dont feel as if it feels right forme to move on or continue the life I have because I have little joy or happiness. Ive never had a girlfriend, never had sex, been kissed etc. and never felt wanted by the opposite sex. And not being noticed makes you look at yourself and evaluate yourself and that is where I thought why would a girl like me? Then I realized that because i have no talent, not a ttractive, dont look the right style, say the right thing, act the right way, or any of that, that I will be alone. I feel like im a ghost in a crowd and I have looked deep inside myself and realized I dont like the person who I am. This is not a cry for help this is the only way I can express these thoughts. Ive told 2 close friends and no family about these things because in my experience once you talk about suicide people act differently towards you and then think of you in a different light. I am rambling now...but bottom line is at this pace I dont think I will last more than I year. As long as I do live..... I will not like myself but for the sake of my close friends and family. If any of you have some words of advice I would appreciate it. Thank you and God bless
Hey bro sounds like you are a cool person and you should have fun do lots of things that will help you get your mind away from those thoughts. If you are religious talk with preacher or priest that can be helpful. Also just think of all the people that love you and need you. God Bless and be cool

can i start taking 20 mg prozac immediatley after paxil 37mg?
Have you asked your doctor? Don't take medical advise from the city slickers or red neck back porch medicine man, witch doctors in this computer. Please contact your trusted Doctor. GETTER DONE.

Follow your doctor's advice. If the doc wrote you a prescription for prozac and told you to stop paxil, then finish your paxil for the day. The next day, start your prozac. It will take time for the prozac to build up and the paxil to work out, so you may experience some transition time. If the anxiety or whatever you are on paxil/prozac for persists or gets worse, call your doctor's office and let them know.They are both SSRI's, so will do a similar job, but in some people one works better than the other.If you were told to take both, then you need to find out from your doctor if you should take them at the same time, or space them out.

Prozac

what can be causing my jitters? I suffer from anxiety and panic attack disorder and I'm currently waiting to be prescribed prozac, but until then i have been so tense and on edge. I never used to be so bad until i started getting help. First i saw a therapist and that's what sparked my first panic attack in forever. After that day, i constantly feared a panic attack and because of that it happened so many time more. Basically i created my own problem. lol sick life! anyway I have been doing much better, no panic attack in more than 2 weeks. Just on edge of one occasional. But last week i got sick with like a respiratory infection or something and i felt SO sick. not like a normal cold. i felt super nervous all the time, and woke up each morning verynauseouss dizzy, jittery, and weak. I even lost 5 pounds/ which makes me 15 pounds underweight :O I ended up getting a bunch of extensive blood test so my mom could prove to me that im not dying and everything came back perfect. So i started stuffing my face ( appetite was slowly coming back) and so far ive gained like a pound or two. I'm working hard to get myself back to 110. I felt so much better after eating more, i went to school feeling pretty good, and spent the night OUT in the mall with my friend which i seriously started to fear because " what if" i have a panic attack there. Well it went great and I can see that I'm slowly picking up the pieces of this mess. Hopefully the medication will work well and not mess me up! anyway last night i went to bed, couldn't fall asleep bc of background noises from my parents suddenlynlyi felt that horrible jittery feeling again. I felt like everything was getting hotter and i just felt sick. Could this be a panic attack and im just not aware that it is? I ignored it and fell asleep and woke up feeling better and happy but now as i type this the jitter feeling still lingers in my body and im not even nervous. could it be because im hungry? it's only 10 am so i didn't eat breakfast yet..sorry this is long but any advice?

Prozac

It's not hypoglycemia..... It's anxiety pure and simple.As to the cause there are many reasons why people develop this order. It stems from fear. A fear of something happening or not happening... For example, I used to get panic attacks just *reading* about panic attacks. My mother used to get panic attacks whenever she got behind the wheel of a car... It seems you fear anxiety it's self.You need to figure out what triggers you have, and for the meantime at least - avoid them. I will say I know what you're going through, and it's absolutely horrible, the symptoms you are describing point to anxiety and it's important to remember that it's only a panic attack.. No one has EVER died from a panic attack... it's just adrenalin being released into your blood stream that causes all the symptoms is all :) Once you understand that they aren't harmful and come to terms with what's happening to your body, you'll soon get over them.Good luck

Prozac medications taken second daily alright?
if you mean every second day, not alright, to start, google for effective dose range and take half min dose every day, cut tablet if needed using pillcutter from pharmacy

Did you know that two handfuls of cashews has the same therapeutic effect as a prozac. Try that as an alternative!

I'd just like a few words of advice - I'm really disoriented? I'm 18 years old, and had anorexia for 5 years of my life. Since age 13 (when I was properly diagnosed), I've been to endless doctors, therapist, psychiatrists, and admitted inpatient for 8 weeks when I was 16. I was admitted after having a cardiac arrest and being in the hospital for 1 month and a half. After 4 months, I was judged recovered and was able to continue on with my life normally, though I still went to therapy (and I still do). For these past two years, everything seemed great, I was able to graduate early from high school and entered university, I found a job and finally appeared to be normal and stable for once. I also felt and agreed to be recovered all throughout these two years.These past month though, everything seems to have gotten out of control for me. I've stopped eating, not because I feel the need to lose weight but because food doesn't appeal to me anymore and I find myself never hungry. I haven't slept more than 1 hour each day in the past week. I just feel very numb and empty, which makes me anxious because I feel as though I don't have a heart or bones (literally) and I'm always pinching my skin and punching my arm and chest to make sure there is something there; I feel as if I'm only a reflection with nothing inside. I've also been very impulsive, and its causing me to do reckless and negligent things. I don't want to tell these things to my therapist or parents, just because I'm afraid they might flip out and send me inpatient again. I'm extremely afraid of that, because first, I don't want to put my education on hold (I'm on my sophomore year), and I just do not want to go inpatient again, all my while there I just wanted to escape and I also don't want to be put on any medication, which only makes me (more) numb, and I'm sure they'll put me on prozac or the like, but I am not depressed, and it'll only make me anxious.I'm sure it'll be soon enough until my mother notices my sudden lost of appetite and she'll know something is up. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm desperate to find anything that'll calm me down. If anyone could offer me any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.Thank you for your time.
There are things you can do for yourself and the earlier in life you learn them the better your life will be compared to those who don't. How many times in my life, after learning something that helped me, did I say: "I wish I would have known this a long time ago." Well, this is one of THOSE things; and really, it has helped me more than any one thing I have ever learned and i really do wish I would have learned it a long time ago, like when I was going thrue emotional trauma when I was young. It is called "tapping" or "EFT" (emotional feeling technique) It is FREE, easy and quick. Anyone can learn to use it. They give you instructions right on their website along with other pertinent information - Interesting and fun. Something you do for YOURSELF. In todays world, with all the focus on the "living in the NOW", this will show you how to do THAT and develop into the person you are meant to be! Go there now - put the focus on you and take it off the things you aren't responsible for and can't do anything about. There is nothing like learning to love yourself - JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!

You should t=do something to get your mind of your physical health problems. I think you may be stressed out about something. Even thought you don't want talk to your parents you should at least eat. Probably the reason your feeling numb is because YOUR NOT EATING. Even if your not hungry you should eat.

You must not fall into the habit of keeping the truth, good or bad, from your mother or your therapist. Anorxia is manageable but if it is not managed, it is fatal. You made such good progress and accomplished so much in a relatively short period of time and now you've hit a bump in the road. How you handle this, what you decide to do, can mean the difference between having a good life and losing everything you've worked so hard for. Of course you don't want to go into treatment; of course you don't want to be medicated. I can understand that. Of course you don't want to put your education on hold. But sweetheart, sometimes you have to take the hard road for awhile in order to get back on track. You are to be commended for the progress you've made. Don't give all that up, please. Tell your mother and your therapist everything you just told me. Tell them what you fear and tell them what you want for your life. Ask for help. And I'm going to put you on my contacts so you can let me know how you're doing. Please contact me any time. I want to hear good news from you. God bless you and please, please ask for help so you can find some answers.
