Day 34: meeting new people becomes no big deal?

here's a review of what i wrote in that day

* today I had meeting with a stylist girl, went ok, i think she's a very nice person, very accepting and understanding, I think i've made good impression on her, but i also know she's like very accepting from her side too , she made good impression on me too. later the same day went to see a movie - jackass 3D...

OMG....this movie is sick....funny but very very sick... considering the fact that in the past(like couple of weeks ago) meeting someone new used to cause anxiety and panic attacks, it went kind of cool.

Give CBT a try before cipralex

Hi,
I personally gave it a try and it was useful but was not enough to deal with my issues, however if you're problem in mild it worth giving it a try, "Cognitive behavioral therapy" google it, and try it.
it can save you a lot of money and time...and more important anxiety and panic attacks. also good for specific problems.

cheers
let me know how it went

Day 20 to 27 with cipralex...

i sleep a lot , still wake up tired , still not feeling good enough, but there is improvement, yesterday i had a panic attack suppressed....still felt it...i will wait until a month will pass , see if there's a major improvement...mean while its up and down, mostly down... my patience is running out, I'm getting restless and i want action now, come on already, I've notice i got anxious and can't wait no more , however i do feel better , or at least stronger and very pissed or angry at this thing that annoys me, very angry about it... so angry that i will start moving things to fix it , face it and deal with it until it will lower its face in shame.

Cipralex and Alcohol

Not recommended, I said it before, this is what my doc told me, however, its hard not to...
sometimes in social events its hard to avoid it, so if I must I drink beer and the one with the less alcohol... no more than one, than its ok, manageable, Its better to avoid wine and whisky totally.

When I did drink I felt kind of bit dizzie and had an headache couple of hours after...

to summarize it - try to avoid it, but if you must, one beer from time to time is manageable and ok.

Is it really a last resort?

I'm not sure how to answer that, but I did tried things like hypnosis, NLP, CBT and many others before I decided to give cipralex a chance...

if you're not feeling good about taking it you should try those things first, because sometimes it really helps, in my case it was a waste of time and money... and the worse was that i did not get better...

Now I can sure notice the change.

if you take cipralex here is what you should do

make sure you write a diary or fill up an excel file, or post in your blog or whatever, just keep record of everything that's going on, every minor change, its really important!

you should include the following parameters:
1. sex ( from 1 - 10 how much sex intrest you and how are your....)
2. toilet ( any problem with that? write em down)
3. control ( how much do you feel in control from 1 to 10)
4. feeling ( how do you feel from 1 to 10)

do this everyday, at least for the first three month so you can make sure you progress according to your plan, if there's any problem which is not limited time side effects... than you will easily notice it, mark it and keep following, if doesn't change after a month talk to your doctor about it.

hope this helps

Are you afraid to take cipralex?

Are you scared to take cipralex?
At the beginning so was I, and i'm a freak control, but when it comes to the bottom line, which is better to suffer this anxiety and panic attack, or to suffer some side effects for a while....

you know the answer, If you can manage without it, than do it , however if you suffer, than you should do something about that too, there are many alternatives you can look into , including hypnosis, NLP, CBT and more, but the best thing to do is to consult your doctor, be brave and honest with yourself and make a decision you can keep up to.

Seroxat VS. Cipralex

for your benefits, i've had the chance to try both, and I must tell you that cipralex is way better in terms of the side effects, they almost completely dissappear after two - three weeks comparing with seroxat that even after months i still felt strong side effects, including chills, teeth clinching, shaking, breathing wierd and sweat....the worse part was the sweat, cipralex after 10 days all the side effects almost gone completely , so if you ask me i'd prefer cipralex much more than seroxat...

can't fall a sleep, can't wake up

had a bit hard time to fall a sleep and also had hard time waking up...

but streghing is fun, i think i notice some minor differences, but i'm still feeling stuck in terms of borders around me or something....side effects are minimal at this stage... in 2 days it will be 2 weeks, many said after two weeks the cipra start to kick in and you start to feel improvements...crossing my fingers and hoping for the best...just came back from the nlp, i've noticed i'm not getting the panic attack when the attention is on me, it was actually like a challenge i enjoyed facing....thats interesting....

Day 10 on Cipralex, I feel sleepy all so sleepy...

woke up stretching with good feeling, but could continue to sleep more, feel bored...was very tierd slept in the afernoon, but havent done nothing today....cant seem to get the motivation to get my ass out of this house...at night i felt bit better, but still not where i think i should be considering....i should probably focus more on the minor/big changes that do happen, the way i communicate and less give a #@@@ about things that are silly to give a @@@ about...optimizem is king...
