Shyness has been found to be genetic, can it be overcome? If so are there any meds that help?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:44 +0000

Ive read, and been told by therapists that shyness is genetic. As a big believer in Genetic Determinism, i have concluded that i will never be able to overcome my shyness, just like most genetic disorders cant be cured or overcome. I don’t much are for therapists(too much mumbo jumbo, no hard science), and im crippled by shyness. So my question is, are there any meds out there that can help over come this? If so what? I used to take meds for anxiety and depression, but they didn’t do much to get rid of my shyness. Only thing that does is BOOZE, and im fine with that. But im curious, is there any other chemical out there, or pill that can treat shyness. Alcohol can be expensive, but its the only thing that works so far.
yay no good answer…:/

Anxiety? Depresion? PTSD? Alcohol induced chemical imbalance?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:43 +0000

Once school got out I my drinking, smoking cigars, and dipping picked up significantly. One day I started to notice some withdrawals so I chilled for a bit until they went away. Then I started up again accept with less frequency. Two days after my last drinking episode I began to feel a bit depersonalized and realized I could not focus in a summer class. It felt like there was some gunk in my brain screwing up my thought process. I really could not think like I used to. I also didn’t seem to care about much anymore. I began to freak out as if something was terribly wrong, and know I have figured that that made it much worse. My symptoms happened to coincide with a deadly brain disease so I was convinced I had it. I prepared myself for death for about two days as I waited to see a neurologist. I was pretty sure I had the disease and that death and much suffering were imminent. The neurologist assured me nothing was wrong. I began to search all day for a explanation of my symptoms. I saw a phycologist who suggested it could be anxiety. The symptoms began to occupy my thoughts constantly. One of the most distressing symptoms is that I have absolutely no emotion. No excitement. No drive to do anything. This is particularly distressing because I used to be as happy as a teen can be and very driven. There was a stretch were I was extremely anxious about my condition not going away before school started or not going away ever. This faded as I seeked anxiety help on the internet. After it faded I became very depressed due to the fact that I have no emotion. I am also very easily agitated. I have been trying to self diagnose for about a month now and I seem to be getting no where. Does anyone know what this could be? Anxiety? Depression? PTSD? or maybe a chemical imbalance induced by alcohol?

What helps creative impulse in poetry?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:39 +0000

Does anyone know if alcohol or drugs have an affect on poetry? I know things like depression do, but that just causes depressing poems. Someone told me Freddie Mercury used ecstacy as a creative stimulant. A lot of great poets and story writers(like Edgar Allen Poe) were also acloholics.

panic and alcohol?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:36 +0000

Hi, I have had panic disorder for 20 years. I control the bad attacks with 1/2 xanax. This happens mabye once a month or so. I am also newly diagnosed with insulin resistance and take 500 mg of glucophage daily. My question is about 7 years ago all of a sudden when I decided to have a drink one evening, I drank about half of the drink and my heart started to race and I broke out into a sweat. Never did that before. I tried to drink maybe twice after that and the same thing happened, so I haven’t drank since 2000. I would love to have a glass of wine at dinner or a drink when out with friends, but am afraid because of the past reaction. I by no means was a drinker, but I love the taste of wine. Just want to have maybe one drink. What could cause this to happen, and is it an allergic reaction, or was it a panic attack. By the way my heart checks out fine, so I know that isn’t it, and I am not of Asian descent.

A question on medication for OCD?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:32 +0000

I have been diagnosed with a severe form of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). But now, I’m thinking it might be PO OCD (Purely Obsessional OCD). Either way, I have been on many medications such as the first line treatments including: Paroxetine (Aropax), Sertraline (Zoloft), Fluvoxamine (Luvox), Fluoxetine (Prozac). I have been on Clomipramine for about 2 years but I’m now terminating it. I have experimented with second generation anti-psychotics including: Risperidone, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Solian. Also, I have dabbled with Haloperidol, Largactil, and Stelazine. I have even tried self-medicating with Rohypnol, Oxycontin, Codeine, Dextropropoxyphene, Subutex, all the benzos: Valium, Serepax, etc. Hypnotics: Temaze, Mogadon, etc. Even alcohol and cannabis. NOTHING IS WORKING. Not even combinations. My mental health is deteriorating very, very fast. I am running out of options. This illness is destroying my life. I am getting worse by the day, even by the hour. There are a few possible experiments that I could conduct. Such as Clozapine, Dextroamphetamine, Lithium. If you know of ANYTHING that might work, (Single drug or combinations) please reply. Thank You for your time.

Can I drink alcohol during a Blessed Herbs detox?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:30 +0000

I’m on the 21 day body cleanse and its spring break so I wanted to party for a couple days. I’m in the middle of the program and I was wondering if I should I continue taking the supplements everyday or take off a few days off while I’m partying and continue the kit when spring breaks over.

How do I deal with this guilt?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:24 +0000

My wife and I were having lots of problems and we split up for a while and I got to talking to her very best friend in the world and long story short we ended up having four sexual encounters. My wife and I got back together after a lot of work and things are going very great. Three weeks ago her friend died from alcohol poisoning and its been hard on everyone but I have this guilt and scared to say anything after what we went through and do not want to go through again I want to keep my wife. Not sure what will happen if I say anything but not sure I can carry this guilt around forever. What do I do?

Can alcohol withdrawal generally cause hot flashes and/or fever without Delerium Tremens (DT’s)?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:45:22 +0000

I’ve been feeling unbelievably hot and somewhat dissociated. I sure hope that what I’m going through is alcohol withdrawal, because if it isn’t then I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I take 10-15 30mg Percocet (Oxy) a day, mostly night time, How do I get my tolerance down?

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:58 +0000

I’ve been addicted to percocet (oxycodone) for a couple years now and I can’t stop… it’s the only thing that helps my depression which is extremely bad and I seriously have terrible back pain, insomnia which only perks cure. I don’t know any doctor who will prescribe me these no matter what I tell them… a bad part about it is now I mix other prescription medication with it like Tynerol3 or 4 which is Codeine 30\60mg and Tynerol 300mg. I also take a few klonopins along with it. Yes I get twisted but not as bad as I use to, my tolerance is just very strong and it’s been that way with everything in my life… alcohol, weed… I just need a lot of everything. I’m only 5’8″ 145lbs… fairly normal sized person imo.

Alcoholism withdrawl symptoms?

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:56 +0000

My friend had been having a hard time with life for a while, and moderatly depressed too. She just started drinking regularly in the past few months, but a few weeks ago everything kinda went downhill and she started drinking a lot more and much more often. She gave up for a little bit and was borderline alcoholic until about 6 days ago when me and my friends convinced her to stop drinking altogether, for at least 2 weeks to stop the addiction. Later we will help her get back to moderation. She wasn’t QUITE addicted yet, but was in the early stages of it.
Now she is motivated to stop that problem, she’s a very strong girl who just took a wrong turn. But we both think she is experiencing some withdrawl symptoms. She gets scattered, short episodes of extreme depression sometimes. And she doesn’t usually get those, at least not near that bad. She also has woken up a few times feeling like she has a hangover but hadn’t drinken anything the night before. Sometimes she gets a bit irritable and for a couple days would shake at times. She says at times, alcohol is her every other thought, and that anything that has alcohol in it (face toner, cooking spray, ect) smells a lot like hard liquor. I can tell she’s slowly getting better each day, and even tho her confidence and “good old self” are coming back, she still sometimes worries about the symptoms.
So… has anybody been or known someone who was alcoholic or borderline alcoholic who experienced some noticable symptoms of withdrawl when they quit? Any advice helps, but please keep it positive and/or neutral because this is a sensitive subject! Thanks!

Is it ok to take wellburtin while being an alcoholic?

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:53 +0000

My boyfriends doctor prescribed him wellburtin for depression knowing he is an alcholic. I am doing my research on it the medicine and it says that if he takes it with alcohol it can cause seizures. Any ideas why the doctor would do this?

in essence, is klonopin more addicting than alcohol or pot, I feel great no more panic attacks!?

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:48 +0000

I used to smoke pot but I got tired of it. Now I am on Klonopin instead and its helping my tremors, burning, tingling, and numbness. Could it be that this can be more addicting than alcohol

Does this sound like an anxiety disorder or depression?

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:32 +0000

Okay… So I’ve been feeling this way for a little over a year and a half now and I’m sick of it, so I want to see what I can do to fix it. I’d like to have an idea of what’s wrong with me before I walk into the doctor’s office though.

1. Worried. Constantly. About everyday things that really aren’t that big of deal. Something as simple as driving to the grocery store calls for about 20 minutes of analysis. I constantly feel like everyone’s staring at me, judging me, and even though I’m surrounded by friends all of the time and people tell me that they absolutely adore me, I constantly question whether or not they, or even my family for that matter, really like me or care about me at all, or if they just hang out with me to be nice. Even when I have no reason to worry, I worry.

2. Panic attacks. I do have them. Rarely, but I do have them. nothing brings them on, there’s no reason for them happening, but I get really upset, really nervous, and start shaking and crying uncontrollable.

3. I also feel fatigued alot. Like there’s not much of point in going out and doing anything. I still go out with friends to the bar and what not, but I don’t really talk too much. I typically just sit there. The only time I ever really am active and social and outgoing is when I’m under the influence of alcohol, which I’ve been using as self medication quite frequently lately. (I know it’s bad. I’ve slowed my roll so no comments on alcoholism please!)

4. I feel like I’m not going anywhere. Like everyone else has a plan and is moving in a fast pace and I’m stuck in slow motion. I question whether or not there’s really anything better out there, or whether this is as good as it’s gonna get.

5. I’m not happy, but I’m not really sad either. I’m just apathetic to everything. I don’t really hope or look forward to things anymore, because I always expect the worst possible outcome for any given situation. It’s like I could be hear today, and disappear tomorrow and it wouldn’t make much of a difference at all.

Is this depression or anxiety?
Is it possible it could be both?

Why is it that when my depression acts up I can’t stop thinking about suicide and weird thoughts?

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:14 +0000

I am 38, mother of 4, and 3 step children (all living with me ages 2-17). I have a supportive family, but have been battling depression for almost 20 years if not longer. My dad was an alcoholic vietnam vet so I know I have a touch of secondhand PT SD due to the alcohol and guns. Been to many Dr’s. for treatment all to no avail. 2 hospital stays (one due to cutting in depressed state) and other for vicodin addiction (the only thing that ever kept me from being depressed and feeling happy and energetic). Now on Pristiq, adderal xr, and today dr. wants to add wellbutrin (been on it already). I feel so hopeless to the point I wonder if I am actually going crazy. No dr has given me an exact diagnosis..just more pills. Esp, the week before my cycle, is SO bad. I visualize killing myself, think about what I would write in suicide notes to my kids, etc..I cry and get angry. I would never do that to my babies. It feels like my soul is in a constant state of torment and I want to feel better for myself and children. I feel foggy headed half of the time waiting for the next time ” I don’t feel right”..can anyone relate? I have been to psychiatrists, therapists, Dr’s for the last 10 years. I feel I truly am mentally exhausted and the stress of raising these kids with a husband working his butt off just to pay bills is crazy. Sometimes I feel like such a bad mother, a loser, for thinking such bad thoughts but sometimes I can’t get them out of my head, esp. at night.
Please don’t be mean and leave nasty comments for fun….this is very serious to me. I am in such a bad spot and feel like I can’t get out.

Isn’t Psychiatry bullshit?

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:38:44 +0000

I wanted to know your opinion on this.

I don’t have to know the details to tell there is something wrong with it. A Psychiatrist may prescribe a pill for you in just 10 minutes. Without any testing, without any evidence of how the drug works, or even evidence there is something wrong with the brain/nervous system to have it treated. Its nonsense. A person’s mental health problems can have MANY causes and it could be MANY things. Thousands of ailments with each dozens or hundreds of cure.

You cannot just blindly prescribe a powerful pill. The nervous system is very complex and very delicate. You cannot be giving powerful pills to a healthy person (or make a mistake diagnosis). They will just end up worse. It will be a disaster. You will actually CAUSE an imbalance. It is all very delicate. In fact you would not cure them, make them worse, and/or give them new diseases! It could permanately disrupt the delcate system of the body. It would disrupt the homeostasis of the person.

There can be many many causes. Many psychological, emotional, and/or physical each. To do that is to give people on the street randomly pills and they will become sick. Surely you will find some that will get better but most, 95%+, will develop new problems. Temporary or or permanent. It is all highly subjective. Its not science, it is guessing. The patient him/herself can not know the causes of their problems. There are MANY factors at play there. It must take more than one session to find out the truth. Much more than one. It is just too easy to make a mistake here.

I mean it is total nonsense what they do here. To prescribe in one session, like most do, is like judging a book by its cover. I don’t know how to explain this. Its like it can be just anything. I mean look at Depression. It is so complex and can have many causes. Psychological and subconscious hurts. It can have many physical causes; low dopamine, low serotonin, thyroid dysfunction, low omega vitamins, lack of sunshine, too much caffeine, too much alcohol etc… And you cannot know if a person is depressed or has something else. It does not work that way. A person is very complex and to truly understand one needs a lot of psychology sessions. That’s why they go there for years. But I don’t say it has to take years. It just isn’t supposed to be in one session at a Psychiatrist. I smell a lot of bullshit. This seems to be so so not right.

This is my point. What is your take?
Okay sure a Psychiatrist may be very educated but Politicians are educated and they always screw us up
