A slight relapse that lasted 20 days last august with Roxycontin 40 s and I have been clean and sober ever since. They put me on Topamax 50 mg, 1 25mg in the morning and one in the evening when I was in rehab. When I visited my doctor out here in Vegas, I was in rehab and put on Topamax in CA, she changed me from 2-25 mgs to one 50 mg a night. Three weeks later I hear voices. I am curious however if it could be due to the fact that I had a root canal I never got to finish having closed.

I am a student and I m 22. When I try to focus, it looks like stress on my mind is increasing. Look like everything is being stuffed into my head. Also, I am getting slower and slower day by day. Now when I look back, I remember this slowness started around 6-7 years ago. And I really did not noticed it then. I remember that was the time when it started taking me more time than usual for daily tasks and I remember that was the time when I started reaching a little late at school. From them I can see it increased now. Now I take lots of time while eating and bathing. Late in university class on almost everyday. And all this increasing my stress and I tried my best now to do thing quickly but nothing helped so far. My face also doesn t look fresh. I look sluggish and people say you look in some deep thinking all the time. And yes, I can notice it myself that my mind doesn t stop anytime. It keeps on thinking about different things.

I also have continuous big pimples on and around my nose. I use to masturbate even before adolescence . Last night I had a wet dream and lots of liquid flown out. After that I had a very painful tingling sensation(like my penis is going to blown out) and my penis remain fully erected, probably stronger erection than normal. This happened to me earlier 3-4 times in life. The painful tingling sensation goes away when I sleep again after wet dream and when I wake up in the morning everything is normal again. But I have noticed that whenever that happens, I get some really big reddish pimples on or around my nose. When I wake up today, I can see a few on them on right side of nose.

You are always on a tight side, and seem to worry a lot and remain preoccupied with your somatic symptoms. you seem to have an irritable bowl which is common with generalized anxiety, hence your bowl habits tend to be moody. The wet dreams followed by pimples on nose are unexplainable and I recommend you to consult a dermatologist if the swelling persists and becomes troublesome. Do not worry as there seem to be no symptoms of depression or OCD currently. You may benefit from a course of Low dose anxiolytic agent ( say a Low dose SSRI with pregabalin) along with daily practice of Meditation / Muscle relaxation exercises. You may need some initial training in learning formal procedure and may consult expert for it or there is enough genuine material on net to learn meditation techniques / relaxation exercises." } ]

In December, almost a year ago, my youngest daughter, Kylee, was accidentally ran over & killed in my driveway when a family friend was leaving the house. I didn t even know she had run in front of the car, it all happened so fast and as you may know, two year old children are very, very quick. I have a four year old daughter also that has definitely been my strength. Immediately after the accident I was admitted into the state hospital to be put on a 48 hour watch. I wanted to die. Because of my hospitalization, Child Protective Services removed my then 3 year old daughter from my care as I was incapable of correctly taking care of her at that time. That made the whole situation worse. The only thing that truly kept me alive and going is the fact that I have another daughter who needs me and it wouldn t be fair to lose her mommy like she did her sister. She is now back home with me which is wonderful but it makes me very sad to realize that Kylee IS gone.. and she is not coming back. The one year mark is quickly approaching and I am very, very worried about ruining Mackenzie s Christmas. Given the fact that Kyky passed away one week before Christmas.. It is going to be very hard for me to deal with. I have also been diagnosed with severe & chronic PTSD with anxiety . I think back on the accident SEVERAL times a day and see images I d much rather forget & no matter how I hard I try they will not escape my brain... it gets to the point where I have to go to my bedroom and scream in a pillow and frantically cry. I also struggle with not knowing whether or not she was hurting... ( she was alive for one hour after the accident ). I freaked out and nobody would let me near her (nor did I want to see her like that) ) so I stayed away, hoping that she would somehow pull through. I very much regret that now. I wish I d held her and talked to her and told her I was there. How do I live with regret and these images and the guilt of It s my fault! if only I had done this.. or that? I am her parent.. I am supposed to protect her from any and all harm! ... They had me on Ativan for a couple of months and then took me off because they were afraid that it was preventing me from grieving. It has now been almost a year and I will grieve for the rest of my life but I would really rather find some help to ease the pain. Do you think it is time for some medication and if so, what would you recommend? Can you also inform me of any coping strategies . Any help is greatly appreciated. God Bless. 3" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "If there is hypnotherapist nearby, you may contact.

My parents did not want to medicate me as a child, and even though I made good grades in school I was constantly struggling.

I have tried supplements and natural remedies, and nothing seems to help me feel normal. Is it safe to take medicine like adderall for attention deficit on a long term basis as an adult?
