Counsellor symptoms and conditions

I had Mirena put in the end of November and was thrilled with it. I instantly regained my sex drive. I had a lot of spotting for the first few weeks but hardly any bleeding since then. About two weeks ago I noticed that the right side of my body was numb but brushed it off as I have previous neck problems and thought it might be a pinched nerve or something. The numbness is constant, from just below my ribs down to my toes, worst in the hip/groin area. I now have very little sensation during intercourse. My doctor has run blood tests and was mentioning testing for MS but after reading these posts I think it may be the Mirena. I have also had painful joints and started seeing a counselor as I have been feeling very depressed (she has recommended anti depressants). I have also had a lot of bruising, not sure if this is related, and am sick more often (have spent a total of 38 days on antibiotics since I got it put in, hadn't needed any for years before this). Making an appt today to talk to doctor!!!

I was prescribed Clonazepam for anxiety about 3 months ago coupled with a generic version of zooloft. I am definately starting to feel insane. My head aches at random times. I do still drink and smoke leafy substances, which i know is not recomended, but I am still in college and I feel sometimes like its the only way to meet ppl, drinking/partying, especially in places where there isn't much else. I want to get off the drug, but I am so afraid of the side effects. I don't really feel better on it. because I like having energy, I am a spunky girl and it takes away my spunk. I just wanna know how to function in society. I get nervous around new ppl, especially bosses/or anyone in my field, if I don't take the drug, but I can't even really tell if it is helping. At first it was fine, but now my head hurts all over/ headache. I forget things, which may be the sertraline, but regardless I want to get off of it. I feel more insane now than I did before.

MY SON WAS A VERY ENERGETIC TEN YEAR OLD UNTIL HE STARTED THE ADVAIR DISKUS NOT EVEN A MONTH AGO. ALL OF A SUDDEN HE IS HAVING CRYING SPELLS AND IT SEEMS THAT HE IS STRUGGLING WITH WORRY. JUST TODAY HE HAD TO TALK TO THE COUNSELLOR AT SCHOOL. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR HIM. HE USUALLY HAS NO PROBLEM WITH GOING TO SCHOOL. HE IS AFRAID SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIS FATHER. ALSO, HE HAS STARTED ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER- EVEN THOUGH WE ANSWER HIM VERY CLEARLY. THUS HE STARTS TO WORRY AND BECOME UPSET. IT IS AS IF HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. COULD HE BE STARTING TO STRUGGLE WITH OCD ALSO? WHATEVER IT MAY BE, I AM STOPPING HIS ADVAIR IMMEDIATELY. THIS MEDECINE IS DRAGGING MY SON DOWN.

Desperate Boyfriend

It's me again, unfortunately my girlfriend says she does not want to be in a relationship at the moment. She said that if Brad Pitt came along she would not care less either.

She says she has no desire for anything and that includes me. She has been advised to see a counsellor and probably will this week. She only wants me to be a friend, which I have reluctantly agreed to. I think she is suffering from depression.

I am feeling pretty down about things as only a month ago she wanted to marry me, was deeply in love with me and could not wait to be with me. She did suffer from some anxiety before going on Yasmin I am just hoping that it is the Yasmin that has caused her to go downhill and lose interest in me. She has been off them for two weeks ago but was only on them for one month. Has anyone else lost the plot so badly after only one month. Is there any hope for us?

Cheers Even More Desperate Boyfriend

I have been seeing a psychologist/counselor for anxiety and depression. I have a lot of anger that seems to burst out at times uncontrollably (verbally not physcially). The counsellor reccomended Paxil or Lexapro (for anxiety/depression/some Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms) and had me see a psychiatrist for the prescription. The psychiatrist did not prescribe any of the SSRIs and prescribed Neurontin instead to "even out my moods." I was not very comfortable with him and thought that he may have jumped to some conclusions without truly listening to me. I am on a total of 600 mg (200 mg 3x/day) though I am working up to that level over the next few days. (Right now I'm just taking 300 mg) I've been researching Neurontin on the web and this is the first site I've really found that talks about Neurontin being prescribed for things other than fibromyalgia and pain management. (I do get migraines and he thought the neurontin may help.) I have yet to experience noticable side effects though my back and knees are beginning to hurt. Does this sound like a possible side effect of neuntin? It appears that others have been prescribed Neurontin for the same symptoms (anxiety/anger management) that I've had. I'd appreciate any feedback or contact regarding it. I'm 29, married w/ two children and am homestly quite scared about starting any medication like this. My email is ****** Thanks.
