Related support groups: buspar, xanax, panic disorder, depression
Callianne's answer: I used to use buspar. Took it for nearly a year, and for me it was like taking a sugar pill. It did nothing for me, and certainly never touched my anxiety. Yet I know people who swear by its' effectiveness. Goes to show how different, ...

Callianne's comment: Nope, Stadol doesn't ring a bell, but to be sure, I'd have to ask. You're right about the chiropractic treatments, though. I had a back/neck injury years ago, and my neck often goes out of whack. Most times I can stretch or use gentle pressure to ...

Related support groups: migraine, elavil
Callianne's answer: I agree with the others; go back and see your doctor. The dose isn't really too high, but medication reactions are very personal things. Amitriptyline (sp?) usually has a calming effect. It slows the brain down so that you can process your thoughts ...

Callianne's response: Hi again, I tend to agree with LaurieShay. Stress has a lot to do with weight gain (or loss), as does depression. And I know that I'm harping again (just a bit), but an underactive thyroid can and will cause stress, depression, weight gain, etc. ...

Callianne's comment: You are more than welcome. I don't know that I said anything that will help you, but the antidepressants are a great place to start, even though it will take a lot of trial-and-error to get going on them. Be patient. The estrogen saliva test might ...

Callianne's response: While you could have fibromyalgia, as has been suggested, you definitely need a far better thyroid screening for hypothyroidism. Low thyroid can cause depression/suicidal impulses, weight gain, difficult weight loss, brittle hair and fingernails, ...

Related support groups: doctor
Callianne's response: It's likely that your friend has seen this doctor in the past, and therefore the doctor would know his history fairly well, so yes, the doctor might have given him an injection if he thought your friend would benefit from it. When I first asked my ...

Callianne's answer: Hi katiest, with most antidepressants, you can decrease the dose of one, while starting on a new one at the same time PROVIDED that they are in the same family. (ie: they are both SSRI's or both are tricyclics, etc.) It is not easy coming off of one ...
