Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I’m worried about my health, I have really bad anxiety attacks which makes my chest really sore and I’ve tried paxil, and now celexa which worked for awhile but now i have 5 or 6 panic attacks in 1 day. So will this herb pill work with the anxiety and attacks?
I am on paxil and there is A Lot of stresses in my life atm. I wake up so many times in the night. Some times I wake myself up by talking in my sleep. Or sitting up in my sleep. This has been going on for over a week now. I just want to know if I have a sleep disorder or if it has to do with the pills I take…. or if it is neither….
Hi,
I take 25mg of paxil CR and I want to take a prescription sleep aid like lunesta because I have insomnia. The pharmacist said there is a slight interaction but to ask my doctor about it. I’ve tried OTC sleep aids like sominex and they don’t do anything. So, is it safe to take a sleep aid and paxil together?

Anger issues perhaps, Charlton? Go masturbate you dumbass.
I take paxil and seroquel, i’m going to be off them for 24 hours before and after I take the benadryl. I am trying to achieve high.
No matter how long I sleep 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, or even 10 hours… I loath getting out of bed because I’m still exhausted. Can Paxil be causing me not to get a good night’s sleep?
I’m taking 10 mgs for mild depression and moderate social anxiety. Both my depression and social anxiety are alleviated, but I still can’t get a good night’s sleep.
My old doctor had me on valium and or paxil since high school for panic attacks and now that I’ve moved to a different city I’ve been to 3 doctors and they either "don’t believe in them" or just won’t give them to me. I know I need them sometimes I feel like my brain is going to explode if I don’t calm down n nothing I try helps. So if anyone has any answers for me that would b great ..
Im addicted with klonopin 1 mg for the past 2 years, i tried to quit several times, but without success because it gives me insomnia, now my doctor wants me to quit that medication abruptly and start with Lunesta 3 Mg, what are the risks? is it better that klonopin? ( I also take Paxil Cr 12.5 Mg)
Thanks.
I have been taking Paxil 40mg for about 6 years, I quit taking it on my own about two months ago my Doctor perscribed Wellbutrin 300mg and ambien. I am having horrible thoughts like the kind I had before the Paxil. Therefore, I took half of a Paxil and I am just wondering if it is okay to take the ambien also?
He is a 20 lb Boston Terrier and has been on 20 mg of Paxil for about a month. He rolled around in the backyard and came in with at least a dozen bites (possibly from ants?) around his right eye. The area is swollen and itchy. I’d like to give him Benadryl for the pain and swelling, but not if it will interact with his other medication. Our veterinarian’s office is closed and I can’t call to check for interactions.
OK, I’m a 20 year old female that has been suffering from severe sleep problems for about 2 years now. I can NEVER fall asleep easily. I don’t remember the last time I just laid down and had a good night sleep. I’ve tried everything I can think of:
I haven’t had any soda for 2 months.
I get lots of exercise during the day.
I don’t bring my home phone or my cell phone into the room with me at night. (Used to be a big problem for me)
No matter what time I go to sleep, I always get up around 8-9a which REALLY sucks sometimes, because, like last night I laid in bed til 7.30a before falling asleep.
I’ve tried reading, listening to extremely relaxing music, even watching infomercials.
I don’t know what to do to make my Dr. believe I have something going on with me.
Any suggestions??
I’ve had blood tests run on my thyroid and they say everything is normal, but thyroid problems run in my family. I just don’t think my Dr.’s are caring enough it seems. I ALWAYS feel like they think that I am making it up. I feel like my age makes it look like I will abuse any drug they put me on.
I have been on 20mg of Paxil for about 6 months for bipolar (which I feel is the wrong medication) and I think it gives me nighttime anxiety.
I have depression, adhd, and anxiety
I have been dealing with it all of my life at the age of six I was labeled and introduced to paxil and seroquil for sleep my mom not knowing what to do didn’t fill the prescription for seroquil and substituted it with benadryl and sleepy time tea that worked for a while but I quickly built a tolerance. I started paxil at age six because I was a depressed child with anxiety and sever agitation. The paxil took effect helped my depression but severely increased my anxiety and made me irritable. I was on and off medication the benefits were not worth the side effects. We decided to take me off medication until I was older if it was necessary. I had on and off insomnia all my life we would treat it with benadryl but honestly that did not put a dent in it. When I was younger I had social anxiety issues I would not go near people I did not know. The only people I would trust was my family and my best friend Kassie my next door neighbor. Kids from my class would always try to talk to me outside of school at the grocery store or after the bell rang I would avoid them at all cost. I honestly believe I wouldn’t take the chance to befriend them because I was taught at school all strangers are bad stranger danger. I had an anxiety disorder so little things like that would rule my life. As time went by I realized that I needed to communicate with people and make friends. I became more assertive and happier. Every grade I was closer to being a normal kid whatever that is. By the seventh grade I had many friends. Everything was going good. But my perfect grades started to slip. I went from all A’s to all C’s and eventually I was failing. I had not changed any study habits I just couldn’t make heads or tails of the work. I told my mom I was spacing out I would be doing the work and my mind would wander away and I would just stare out into space. I would be on the same problem as everyone else go into lola land look up at the overhead and all of a sudden there five problems ahead. I went to my doctor for a check up my mom mentioned what was happening to the doctor. We got a referral to see a neurologist and found out I was having absence seizures. I was put on topamax and lost nearly 20 pounds I got a little underweight. We scheduled an EEG without the medication to see if I had any seizure activity I didn’t thank god I was able to discontinue the top Amax. The neurologist gave me a test and said I had many symptoms of GAD and ADHD. She started me on focal in 20mg and lexapro 10mg. I was doing ten times better in school and was happier than ever but me and anti depressants don’t go together well I developed tics a discontinued the lexapro they instantly were gone. My anxiety freaked out I don’t know what happened I blamed the focal in and started to skip them and give them to my friends. I was going crazy the closest thing that describes the way I felt and still feel is the symptoms of severe akathisia it can cause extreme anxiety and uneasiness to the point that suicide may result. Akathisia can occur for no apparent reason or may be induced by certain drugs. If you’ve ever paced a hospital floor waiting for bad or good news about a sick or ailing loved one, or have been so nervous about something you couldn’t sleep, you’d have a good sense of what akathisia feels like. Some people develop the condition when given SSRIs. In this state, people are more likely to kill themselves or to try than they are when they are in a depressed state. They feel they must do something to make the restlessness stop, because there isn’t a single second of rest from it. This is exactly what I feel like they told me I don’t have it but I can’t imagine something else that would cause the exact same symptoms. I had these feelings and the doctor was no help I took matters in my own hands and started drugs. I took six of my dad’s 10mg valium hoping for just a few minutes of relief. I got just that and a trip to the hospital. I can’t honestly say that it wasn’t worth the relief. I still feel like this I don’t know how to fix it or if it can be fixed it has made my life living hell. Id rather die than keep on feeling like this I would be dead if I didn’t have family to worry about. The only couple of things that help are currently illegal or unavailable. I honestly have tried almost every anxiety medicine the only legal thing that puts a dent in this feeling is valium. Xanax and colonzapam actually make it worse. The only thing I have ever come into contact with that completely rids this horrible feeling is marijuana but medical marijuana is currently illegal in Texas. Honestly smoking it anyway is worth the risk of getting into trouble but I care for my mom to much to drag her down with me. I don’t see one thing wrong with medical marijuana if someone needs this healing herb for
Why not let them if people can use heroin like opiates for pain why not let people who need it use non addictive marijuana. Unli
I would like to know whats wrong with me and if i have akathsia or a akathsia mimicing disorder
is there anything that can help rid me of the symptoms
I’m taking 2 X 150 mg capsules (Natures Made) of St. Johns Wort extract (standardized to 0.3% hyperecin), three times a day to treat a lifelong problem with moderate depression. I’ve spent years taking SSRI antipressants and counselling, so now I want to give this herb a try. I’m also taking Passionflower whole herb capsules for anxiety.
So far, after a month on St. Johns Wort, I do seem to be feeling more calm during the day, but no relief from my insomnia yet. But, NO side effects, unlike what I got from Prozac, Paxil, and Desyryl. Passionflower has been great for relieving early morning anxiety.
I also am a member and activist for NAMI, which I feel has been a great help to me in making new friends and helping lobby for mental health issues.
If you have been or are taking St. Johns Wort extract for depression, I would appreciate your comments.
My real problem is staying asleep, My seroquel knocks me out but I wake up 4 or 5 times a night to eat and drink, its been going on for 2 years straight and nothing has helped I’ve tried all the above abien, lunesta, sonata, melatonin, lunesta, and seroquel XL
I already take prozac, would a more sedating one like paxil help
