Topic: RE: Increased anger, temper tantrums, aniety post op
WOW, and I thought I was alone, as well as my mother saying I am acting like a spoiled brat. I tried really hard yesterday to say calm about everything and I still broke out crying twice over something minor. Oh well I know better days have to be coming. I did go talk to my PCP and she totally understood and prescribed me EFFEXOR XR. I am totally a baby when it comes to taking medicine, I almost have to be held down to do it, but I know that my marriage is almost in trouble if I don't at least attempt or give this a try. I go back next month to see if it is helping or need to increase the dose. I also go see a counselor on Thursday with my husband to try and talk through some of these issues. Although to be honest I have no clue what the issues are. Thanks for the support, I needed it. -Shari

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BUT I'LL BE SURE TO ASK MY DR. ABOUT IT THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION. AS FAR AS THE SEX DRIVE I HEAR THE MEDS WE WERE TAKING COULD CAUSE A LOW SEX DRIVE. BUT GO TO WALGREENS & GET YOU A BOX OF ESTROVEN PLUS (OVER THE COUNTER) IT HELPS WITH YOUR HARMONES. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WAS TAKING THAT MINE WERE RAGGING (IT TAKES ABOUT A MONTH TO GET IN YOUR SYSTEM GOOD)

It's so nice to see how everyone around that date is doing. And it also helps to know and remember when I am having a particularly bad day, that I am not alone. I started out at 357 and now am 265..down 92 pounds, and am anxiously awaiting that century mark! Whoo hoo. Still have a bunch to go, (around 80 or so) but hopefully that will come off too. I've lost 11 inches off of my hips, and 10 from around my waist, and 8 from the chest. My arms...I swear are going to become big ole wings! 5 inches off each thigh. My hair has slowed down in falling out. How about you guys? It really came out for about 3 weeks, and has slowed somewhat. Keep up the great work everyone, and have a great and sunny Spring! Cindy

Just checking to see if anyone is on this, I can totally relate to the previous post. I'm feeling the same way and my doctor sug. the Effexor that it should help with the anxiety and flying off the handle. But I'm conxerned about the side effects, as in no sex drive...... Its weird I've lost 66lbs and I'm at a all time low there!!!!! My husband has been great thank goodness, very patient, just wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing? Thanks, Mitzi

You're not alone. I too have more feelings of anger and am really impatient with people. My PCP said he could give me a prescription for Celexa (?) which is basically an anti-depressant but I'm not sure if I want to take it. Besides that I am really bad at taking pills so it probably wouldn't help. I just try to take deep, calming breaths for now.

Topic: RE: Easter Candy!
I had a miniature Kit Kat. No problem so then I had a miniature Three Musketeers. Luckily I did get sick so I won't be trying it again for awhile. Funny thing was that I haven't had any cravings for chocolate or candy until I saw that darn Easter basket just sitting there!

YOU'RE NOT ALONE. I ALSO HAVE BAD HEADACHES & NO ENERGY. I'M MOODY ALL OF THE TIME. I WANT TO ASK MY DR. IF HE HAS SOME KIND OF HAPPY PILLS TO CALM MY NERVES. I NEED SOMETHING TO MAKE ME FEEL AS IF I JUST DON'T CARE. I'M SO UPTIGHT! GOOD LUCK TO YOU. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.
