Kava symptoms and conditions

Voice

I dont think the purpose of this forum is to be lecturing eachother.

iam still in desperation phase.

Patience you say........do you not realize that the number one symptom of anxiety is no patience??
Do you not realize that it would be Dejays husband writing to us had she listened to people say have more patience.
She was seriously going to kill herself in the bathroom that day.

Patience you say???
I have been off Yaz for 8 weeks now not 6 I have suffered and cried almost everyday I have yet to have a good day. I have pieces of good days but not a full day I can say is good.

I was a holistic person prior to Yaz my doctor insisted it was totally safe and would cause no effects my mistake for trying it yes.

But it really bothers me that you tell others on here to be patient when you dont know if they are home and suicidal would you really want to send that message. We all have our own tolerance level.

Obviously I didnt try Kava for 6 weeks than Valerian for 6 weeks I really didnt have calmness so no I couldnt try each thing for 6-7 weeks.

The Lexapro is a drug I was desperate I was at the end of my rope I was hysterical....does that mean now 3 1/2 weeks on it I want to keep taking it of course not I want to be the old Kim the old Me on my own not by another drug.

Its the old saying you guys feel better and have been thru it Dejay and I are in the midst of it we need support comfort understanding kind words soft hearts.

Y you felt necessary to lecture me when Iam already sad upset discouraged hurt and dont feel like myself in my own body.

I asked for advice on the Lexapro I know 3 1/2 weeks isnt much time to give it...but Iam terrified of it terrified of not getting off it terrified something is in my body that is a chemical again I want to go for a walk and feel like me not a stranger to myself.

Today I went out but I feel like a total stranger I dont know if this is the Lexapro making me feel this way or the hormones or how Iam going to be I post on here for help because I need it. Iam so scared.

I guess I dont have patience like you Voice you must have more patience than I will ever have Iam glad your patience made you get thur easier than Iam having but not everyone is the same.

I just post here for advice and help now Iam stressed out

I know it takes time but also iam a single mom who hasnt worked in 7 weeks and who has to I cant even comfortably go in stores and feel normal Iam lightheaded and uneasy how can I work.
I went on Lexapro to help me but I feel like a stranger to myself.

Patience i have been so patient for 8 weeks Iam scared
I want to be me!

Sorry Kim,

you had asked for an answer of Sarah, so I didn't react on your post.

But another thing: I really don't understand, what else you want to hear from us! Sarah had told you so many things, you could try to help with the anxiety. Did you even read her posts? And sorry, I don't think, that you really tried EVERYTHING prior to Lexapro. And if you did, you didn't do it long enough!

You wrote that you had tried Kava, St. Johns Worth, Valerian and nothing helped... Well, you've been off the pill for 6 - 7 weeks, am I right?? So how long have you taken each of the meds you've mentioned??

The only thing I can say a hundred times again: You need much more patience than you have. You can't be cured within a few days, that's a fact and that's what you have to deal with. We all had to and we're all still alive! And you will be too, I promise!

Kava and Valerian and all the other mentioned pills need a few WEEKS until they can show any effect! So I really ask myself how you will have tested all of them within only 6 weeks??

Why do you want to go off the Lexapro again after such a short time?? You don't give anything the chance to help you somehow because you can't await an effect. Your health should be worth more time and patience that you give it!!

Sorry if my words may sound hard but seeing that you don't take any advice from anyone makes me a bit enraged (and please remember: I went through pure hell, too and I definitely know what you are going through right now!!!).

All we can do is tell you the same things a thousand times , but if you don't hear any of them and do, what everyone tries to advice you, no one here can help! It's YOU who can change your situation and TIME and no one else out here!! We only can be here and talk to you and give you some advice and tell you that we've all been there, too and are still alive and that you WILL be better some day; the rest has to be done by YOU!!

Best wishes

Silke

Hi

I have read Kevin Tredeaus book and was a follower of him prior to this experience. I almost or did have a nervous breakdown from taking Yaz I tried to deal with it for 5 weeks on my own taking natural things Kava and St Johns Wort valerian walking swimming, I almost killed myself by not taking anything so be careful to scare women on here against taking anti anxiety meds.

Its a case by case situation.

I never took tylenol or nothing before this

Now Iam on lexapro I was one step away from having to be admitted to a hospital Dejay was locked in the bathroom reading to hurt herself she and I both treid on our own to solve the anxiety ours was horrible. I couldnt sleep bauseated lost 15 lbs crying hysterically in and out of the ER 7 times.
The anxiety was so horrible I cant even dscribe how horrible I felt. I still dont feel good on the Lexapro yet but Dejay is back to her old self shopping going out and is sleeping well but only after 3 weeks on Lexapro it saved her life.

Just be careful telling people not to take them someone could take their life by reading this forum and being too scared to take them.

Again I would of never of in my wildest dreams thought I would take one I didnt own a pill but I was at the brink of maddness.

If I could of done it without a pill trust me I would of.

Iam still shakey as I type my stomach is so torn up I cant eat well half the time cant work cant go in stores not doing well

iam using Calmfortay with the Lexapro tried it last night it is very soothing and homeopathic.

I wonder what Kevin Tredeau would do if he took Yaz or Yasmine and felt like us???

Dont say that!!

That the dirutic can cause permanent neurological damage thats horrible I hope not!!

Iam still not better 10 days on Lexapro I have taken a 1/2a day so I have taken 6 pills I think.
Some of the anxiety is gone BUT
Iam still lightheaded just got me period again so it may be that but I start to feel like myself and than I feel bad

And sleep I cant sleep I use to be a perfect sleeper now I cant sleep....any thoughts tried melatonin it doesnt help tried kava tried valerian tried all the holistic

Thank you so much for your book we need that right now because we feel we arnt going to be mormal its the most scariest thing in my entire life. Iam so mad at myself for taking the pill I wish I could go back in time.
And my doctor doesnt believe its the pill and that makes me cry I dont have her support.

I cant shake the feeling off aggitation under my skin. I have Xanax but Iam afraid to take it.

I tried Kava and that didnt help I will try the Valerian I heard of it.

What is causing this aggitation under my skin I want to pull my skin off??
Is it nerves.

I will take my Osteo protect I stopped it because I thought it was making me more anxious. But it has B6 Magnesium in it
My doctor told me to stop all supplements as she thought they were making me more anxious.

I dont know where to turn because I have a good day and feel normal and think Iam getting better than the next day Iam miserable. Evertime I think iam getting better it hits again and no one understands. iam a Director of Marketing and Iam losing my job I cant do it anymore.

A compund pharamcy told me what Iam feeling is lack of progesterone from the pill effects so they compounded me progesterone natural and for the first couple days it seemed to soote me but now day 7 Iam all anxious bad.

I dont know what to do

I want to be me again and enjoy my family and my daughter.
She is sixteen and wants her mom back!!

Iam so sad
