Lithium and hair loss
RisingRayne replied to anxmess's topic in Panic / Anxiety Disorders - What, Me Worry?
Lithium can affect your thyroid levels and cause them to decrease. Have you had blood work recently? One of hypothyroidism's symptoms is hair loss (alopecia). -
New here, looking for advice
RisingRayne replied to trystyn_vex's topic in Panic / Anxiety Disorders - What, Me Worry?
Hi! Welcome! For me, I've kinda always had panic attacks even in middle school, I just didnt know how to describe them. My chest gets tight, heart pounds so hard it feels like its skipping beats or losing rhythm, feel as if gravity may not hold me down, and every time I breathe, my heart hurts worse. I've found that gently holding my breath in increasing duration segments, that it helps stop or lessen the reaction. My medications stop them from occurring altogether. I would also talk to a MD or OD about medication treatment if talk/DBT does not fully resolve it. Counseling is a defin -

Ativan making anxiety worse??
RisingRayne replied to neptune93's topic in Benzodiazepines - Take a Chill Pill!
Ativan can definitively affect people differently. I would be hesitant personally if I were you to try Klonopin because you could suffer for much longer. Those medications, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin are not first line generally for anxiety. Have you tried SSRI's or SNRI's or even Vistaril/Atarax/hydroxyine? The SSRI/SNRIs are for prevention of anxiety as a whole, Vistaril/Atarax/hydroxyzine are used for short term relief. Propranolol, a beta blocker, non-stimulating, can help decrease physical manifestations of anxiety (facial flushing, racing heart beat, twitching). It also is used for pe -
I have thought about this for a long time but have never signed up. I have bad social anxiety and some attention issues/going mentally blank from anxiety. 1. Has anyone done this for therapetic reasons? 2. Anyone brave enough to make a contract between us, if I do it, you will too? It would mean the world to me to have a buddy.
