Hi Ida. Was wondering how you're doing with the meds. I've been doing ok, having more good days than bad, so hip hip hooray. Hoping you are doing the same. Just wanted to touch base with you. Take care my Irish pen pal. Sending angels blessings 😇

Hello Ida, was just wondering how your doing. Hoping your med is working and that the rough days are fading away. I've been not so bad, having better days and better outlook on life. Went to my doctor about increase but we both agreed to wait another month or two to see if the stress of putting together a family reunion caused the extra stress which caused the feeling of not improving. Time will tell but it does seem better. Well take care pen pal and let me know how your doing. 😎

Hi Brenda. .just wondering how you ate doing?had lost contact cos cudnt find this forum on this on new fone id 2 buy. . Hoping u get this msg my friend. .god bless

Hi Ida, I'm doing better , clouds seem to be lifting. The bad days are getting less and less. Went to my doctor's last week and we agreed that all the stress that i had due to putting reunion together caused some issues. So I'm waiting another month or two to see how I'm doing and if I want to increase to 75 I can. So my friend how is life and zoloft treating you. Glad you reached out , was alittle worried. Tried to reach you through this forum. Hoping you are getting to a good place. Take care my friend.😎

N.B. .my forum number has changed used to be 19624. .thanku

Hello there my irish pen pal, was wondering how u were doing. Sorry to hear ur not doing so good,was hoping to hear better news from u. R u still having problems with ur med. I did upped my med to 75 and then will go to 100 in a month. I am now having some affects from increase but know its my meds and not dying. Keep in touch, was worried about u. Wish we could text one on one but have no idea how to do that. Take care my friend. ?😎

Hi there my friend. .So glad to hear from you. . No there's been family illnesses. .our son took epilepsy and other family members have problems too. . So having this MONSTER makes it that bit harder to deal with. .I'm still on 100 sert and was doing ok until all this kicked in unfortunately. . So glad ur doing good and getting sorted to. . . Yea would be good to keep in touch on a one to one. . .I am on face book as Ida Linton. .northern Ireland. .worth a try Brenda. .then wee could contact by Private Mail. .give it a try. .if you are on fb yourself. .looking forward to hearing from . . God bless for now

Sorry friend to hear about ur son and family illness, that alone would cause alot of stress and anxiety. All i can say that without this med helping me through the times that just seem so terrifying and stressful, i would probably either be in a corner hitting my head or screaming and running down the road. I am in the process of opening a Facebook acct, so expect something from me in a week. I have to wait for my niece to help me and she works alot so have to wait until she has time. Take care, prayers for ur son and family. 😎

That's great Brenda. .looking forward to hearing from you. . Our son is on meds and hasn't had a seizure recently. .So it's stressful for me as I'm home alone with him. .not a nice experience.

God's blessings for now my friend x

Hi Brenda. How are you doing? I havnt been so good. .doc has upped my meds to 150 now. As I'd started feeling weepy and anxious again. . Seems no end to this misery 😓 also have ENT app on Wed about my vertigo/or whoever it is. .so my anxiety not good. . If it's not one thing it's another. .hoping this finds you loads better my friend. .God bless

Hi Ida, i am so sorry to hear that u are having such a bad time with it again,my heart just breaks for you. I truly hate this disease. All my prayers r with u. Maybe ur doctor will figure out why the vertigo. Talk to him and see maybe u need a different med. I know , starting all over could cause more stress. Still haven't yet got on Facebook, been so busy with family issues but will make top priority, so we can talk one on one. Hang in there my friend. 😇

Yea Brenda. .go to specialist (ENT ) on Wednesday. .maybe they will be able to help with vertigo. .hopefully. . And maybe not. .I know loads that have it. .and nothing seems to work. .as it's the INNER EAR problem. .but. .please god. .I can get some answers. .take care for now my friend and thank you x

Hi Brenda how are u doing my friend?. .I'm afraid to say I'm not so good. .had to go back to doc who upped me to 150mg. .And all the old side effects kicked in again. .so I went to another and he gave me anxiety tabs. . So for now it's trial and error. .I've cry'd a river these past few weeks. .I'm so hacked off with myself as first doc said I wudnt have side effects by upping them. . . It's a horrid roller coaster Brenda. .god bless for now.

Hi friend, so sorry to hear u are having a hard time. I'm in the same boat since I upped my med. My doctor told me the same thing about no side effects, well he was wrong. What kind of anxiety med did he give u? I take ativan, had to take one this morning. I get the shakes. I keep on telling myself its the meds helps some but then my mind kicks in again . So can't win for losing. I hope we get over this crap and live our lifes . God bless you too. 😇

They're called pregabalin Brenda.

I've to take 2 a day for a week. . . Then go back. . My head fry'd. To say the least. .

Well let me know how they work. I know what u mean , i feel like I'm hitting a brick wall. Gotta be a light after the end of this long tunnel. 🙃

I will my friend. ..u sound how I feel. .at such a low ebb. . It's been a long lonely road. . 😐

Hi Brenda. .those tabs that doc gave me start of week are horrendous. .thot my head gonna burst. .was talking to a nurse friend and she was horrified I was even percribed them. . .told me to take no more. . .gutted. .

Hello friend , so sorry to hear that. But thanks for letting me know, will stay away from that med. I don't understand why the drug companies put out these meds that can cause grief. Gotta be something out there for you and the rest of us in the same boat. How long have you been on 150? I'm still dealing with the 100, occasionally anxiety, and stomach issues. Its weird, you try to feel better with one thing and another pops up. As my blessed mother would say, if isn't one thing its ten. Well take care of yourself my friend and one day i will get on Facebook. 🤗

Bout four weeks. .truly Fed up and very low today. . .like being back to square one. . 😐
