>Hi all
been awhile since I posted... just got back from holidays... and I felt not too bad during this time... I had some bouts with anxiety /panic type feeling out of the blue, but overcame this by just plain meditation and a "tapping" technique that the acupuncturist taught me some time ago... it really does work if the anxiety is overwhelming... I think holidays did help change my mind alot,,, did lots of swimming and beach time and just being with nature.. I think my mood has been fairly stable... still get these so called "episodes " but they are not every day... anxiety that I was getting every morning strong has somewhat reduced these days.. dont know if its holidays related or if indeed my body is slowly balancing out... only time will tell as i return to work tomorrow..
My sleep has been pretty good now... some nights i wake up a few times, but that could be hormonal.. I dont have any trouble to fall asleep. I usually have been getting 6-8hrs/nite.. which is pretty good ... I just toughed it out and absoulutely did NOT take any sleep aids... I have been clean from ativan for 2yrs now and know that I can manage without it... its a nice feeling not to be tied to this pill... that I have my own control within me..
I have often wondered about that rescue remedy and was going to try it some time ago... so far i have mangaged on my own and want to continue to do so if I can... I just try not to dwell on this stuff... Its been 3months off the Remeron for me now.. and I am glad... my appetite is getting much better and IM not sooo restless as I was when on it... I am not as scared being off of it now like I was before... I dont think of it every day either like i use to... so I am just taking one day at a time...Time will heal
I hope you all are doing better.. johnny how are you??? and jules sounds like the rescue remedy is working for you.. thats great... its completely safe and natural.. good choice.. the only thing I have noticed thats wierd is my memory blanks out off and on since being off the Remeron... has anyone else got this?? like I cant remember a name or something ,, then i finally kick in... its wierd...never had this problem before... wondering if the brain is just readjusting to being abused for so long by the Remeron...
MuskyHey there guys,
> thats interesting... i bought some rescue remedy, and it really does the trick when anxiety crops up in the mornings as it seems too do... Hope your all doin' well.
