Well yo yo's I need help I'm not doing so good on the increase..Well truthfully who knows...I'm just feeling not so great..I have those scary feelings a lot during the day I just cant explain them they are just all of a sudden its like something goes through my body then I get really scared that I'm going to lose it then it kind of goes away..SO not a panic attack...But

Today on my way home from work I went to the bank to deposit my check and couldnt remember my pin number I tried it 3 times...and got so upset I went to my arobics class then went back to the bank thinking that I remembered it but I tried another 2 times I was shocked it didnt take my card from me couldnt figure out why it didnt..But it didnt work.I use this card all the time..So started crying and was driving home feeling just out of it...I have been forgetting things really bad lately...I forgot to order the signs for the conference I have tomorrow night and 1/2 the time at work I get up out of my chair and cant remember what I was going to do >..I have always been multi tasketed (spelling) but not I can hardly answer the phone..Has anyone else had this problem and does it go away..I finally drove to another bank by my house and finally remembered it...holy pooh I couldnt believe it..This is making me crazy and I'm already crazy...Just hate meds and hate this feeling...!!!!!!!

Sorry to bring anyone down just not feeling my best I'm on the 4th day of the increase to 15mgs and almost ready to give it all up all together...not having fun yet!!!!...SO cant take that post back to anxious babe I got a little hot and I'm sorry but i just want everyone to feel good and not be thinking that they arent good enough...SO me off...Thanks for listening...Hopefully you stopped reading after the first couple of sentences...Luvya all I will be better soon..!>!>>!>!>>mystic

Let's all try to support Mystic right now, she is in a very bad place and needs all of our love. Thanks everybody, Mrs. C

Hey mystic...I don't think you are too harsh at all, I think we or I should say (me) all need a wake up call once in a while and you are absolutely right. I am not going to worry about that nonsense, but I think we all get caught up in something stupid like that once in a while. It's society and it's emphasis on weight and all that all crap they publicize.

Mystic,
I am having the same problems with remembering things. I am on 10mg. lex, 1 mg.klonopin & 15mg remeron. I don't know which one to blame it on but all I know it's getting to the danger stage. Like today I put a pan of water on the stove to heat & forgot about it. Crazy things like that have been happening.IT'S SCARY!!! If you figure it out let me know.

I once put a pan of sugar water on the stove to heat up for the humming birds. Forgot about it until I saw the smoke coming out of my windows!!! This was BEFORE I took any meds. We're all okay. It's the people who don't think anything is wrong with them that have the really scarey problems. Hope you feel better soon. Praying for us all tonight. Mrs. C

I am also having the same problem with remembering things and I am taking only 5mg of Lexapro and xanax. It drives me crazy...I myself have gone to the ATM and forgot my pin and it's the same pin I have been using for years. I go to the store specifically for something and forget what it is when I get there, the list goes on and on and it was really begining to scare me but now that I realize so many other people are experiencing the same thing I don't feel so scared.

If it makes you feel any better...
Can I just tell yas I spent 1,022 dollars at the dentist today. YES ONE THOUSAND TWENTY TWO DOLLARS. I am sick. SICK >>>> I was also embarrassed because i DINT HAVE 1022 dollars!!!! I had to call boyfriend for his credit card. ONE THOUSAND TWENTY TWO DOLLARS
ON ONE TOOTH!!!! IF YOU ADD IN THE ROOT CANAL AND EMERGENCY ROOM we are talking 1700$. This is such bulltofu.

ALSO had about ten kids out of my one class today so I decided after lunch since it was a reasonable number of kids, we would go for a walk around the block, to relax and enjoy the sun and get some exercise...
Ok, boy throws pen at girl. Hits girl in the lip. Lip is bloody, not real bloody, but there is blood. This girl aint a takin none o this and goes after him. They are fighting on the STREET. Where there are cars and people. I am alone, outside with twenty children. I grabbed that girl and swung her around, and apparently, the other kids said she hit me, although I didn't feel it. I left her go and she went back after him, picks up a handful of dirt and whips it at him so it hits me because she misses him. I regrab her and tell someone to go get help. I started screaming at her, i DID not go to school and pay thousands of dollars for a career to break up fights on the streets or anywhere else for that matter...Then I started to hyperventilate and shake so bad I think I scared the youknowwhat out of the rest of them. I was crying as well. It was ridiculous. I had kids all over the place on the road by the road...THIS IS RIDICOLUOUS. Luckily, four of my kids ran up to the school and got help. Otherwise I would still be rolling around getting beat up by sixth graders.Did I mention I grabbed a boy on my way outside that was readying to fight? huge boy, I didnt even know.Yesterday, I had a boy punch a girl in the face and make a cut in her face from her glasses. I hate it that I cry when this happenes, but what would you do? Should I be embarrassed that i cried again for the second time this year? I feel like a fool, but I can not take this. I should not have to deal with this. I am ashamed and embarrassed, but how do you handle this stuff calmly? If i didnt cry I certainly would have sworn or said something I wasnt supposed to...HELP ME FIND A NEW CAREER! I think people not on meds would feel fit to be tied right now!

Anakin,
I was a dental assistant for 15 yrs. & never needed any major work. After I retired I had to have 2 bridges & we don't have dental insurance. So I know exactly how you feel. Ouch!!! But having your own teeth is better than dentures or partials.

Hi Anakin,
It sounds like you work in my school district. I am not a teacher but I work for the president of the teachers union in New Haven, CT and we have been experiencing episodes like this all week - what is wrong with these kids. I give you a lot of credit because being a teacher in today's society is tuff work. You guys deserve to make a lot more money because you have a tough job.
I have a teacher tell me a least once or twice a week that they didn't go to school to break up fights etc...I hope you have a better day tomorrow. 6-8 grade seems to be the worst age to teach for some reason.
Good luck
anxious babe

> ON ONE TOOTH!!!! 1700$.

Yep, it's absolutely outrageous. I went through a similar thing as you, and then some. One molar: I paid for a couple of fillings first over the years. Then the toothache started, but not as a toothache - as a headache. I grew worse and worse until about the forth day I figured out what was causing the "headache", which by then was so bad that I was up all night and banging my head against the pillow. Double doses of Advil and Tylenol together didn't touch the pain. So I called the dentist in the middle of the night. He said to go to emergency and get a shot of novicane. So I drove myself there, got a typical ER doctor, got a shot in the wrong place in my jaw which did no good, but I didn't trust him to keep trying. (Still got the bill, by the way. lol) Anyway, I was sent for an emergency root canal the next morning. I told them to yank the tooth, but they wanted to save it. So I got the root canal, and they put a temporary packing in until the doctor could do a crown. The temporary packing fell out the next day, but they said that was OK. But apparently it wasn't, because the day before the crown appointment, what was left of my tooth split in half. So I told my dentist to yank it. But he wanted to save it. So he built up on what was left. Eventually, the whole thing broke off at the jaw. Well except for the roots, of course. Then I had to have oral surgery for them to go in and dig the roots out. When that healed, I got an incredibly expensive bridge. LOL Somewhere out there is a yacht that I am part-owner of. Talk about being in the wrong profession! =)

You are right, they were behaving rediculously. I have a sixth grader, and she has a wholesome regard for what Mom and Dad would do if she even sassed a teacher, let along beat one up. Honestly, I wish there would be criminal charges brough against some of these violent kids in schools. They at least need a ride in a police car once in a while so they can get a really close look at their future. I know you can't really do much legally to a sixth grader, but if the parents got drug down to juvenile court often enough, maybe that behavior would stop.

You did well, certainly better than I would have done...little brats! Your job is like working as an unarmed jailer in a prison with no jail cells (no restraint for them and no protection for you). It is an incredibly high-stress job, and you have my sympathy.

> HELP ME FIND A NEW CAREER!

Can you perhaps move to a lower grade? Or maybe teach in a special setting, like a computer lab, etc.? Can you talk to your supervisor and ask what is out there in your school district?

> I think people not on meds would feel fit to be tied right now!

You are right! I will be praying for you. God bless.

Mystic,

I am sorry to read that you are having such a rough time with this increase. Can you get back in to see your doctor soon, or possibly even call him and tell him what is going on? Maybe you should be supplementing the 10mg Lexapro with another drug instead of increasing to 15mg (?). Please don't go too long before you get help. Let us know how you are doing.

I will be praying that this situation stabilized quickly. God bless.

Wow that is terrible Anakin talk about a bad day...You dont need a new career you need a new job...Those children are horrors my goodness you deserve a medal not embarrassment..You do the best you can but with the things that you tell us you are doing a great job with what you have to deal with .....Dont be embarrassed because you get upset I was upset reading it..Please just try to relax and give youself some credit because you deserve it those kids are holy terrors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meds or no meds no one could handle them..You were trying to be nice and take them out instead of staying in the classroom dont forget that...

Oh yes and the Rct and post and crown oh yes I work for a dentist and that really stinks..But the person at the front desk shouldve told you what the total cost was going to be before you had it done not that it wouldve made any difference because you needed it anyway but most dentists dont tell you those things and then the poor patient is like WHAT...I tell everyone what there insurance is going to pay and what they will need to pay and I usually let them pay 1/2 at the first visit and 1/2 at the next...I;m very sorry you were surprised that isnt nice..

I hope that you had a restful night and you are feeling better this morning but in NO WAY should you blame yourself for what those little stinkers do they should be ashamed of themselves but unfortunatly they wont realize that until another 30 years if even then...You do a great job your a great person and you need to remember that every day...Take care and let us know how today goes..Lots of Love and Hugs...your friend Mystic

> I am so med phobic that adding something else brings on terrible feelings for me

I can relate to that. I used to sit and stare at a bottle of new meds for a few days before I could get the courage to take one. And even then I would usually start with 1/4 ore 1/2 on the first day. I understand wanting to wait it out on 15mg, but if you keep getting worse, or at least don't get better, please try something else. I only say this because somehow I got the courage to keep trying until I found something that worked for me. And I pray that your fear doesn't keep you from getting to the right meds/dosage for you.

God bless.

hey mystic i didnt see this til just now...but it sounds to me like you are just anxious about increasing...it may be that anxiety that's getting to you and not the actual meds. i am lowering from 20 to 15 bc i felt 20 was too much for me. i did wait it out on 20 for 6 weeks though. also im starting my period today and feel headachey and anxious...are you around that time?

Don't worry anakin - it is definetely not you. These kids are terrible today and it all boils down to no Respect in the home. If they don't learn respect at home then how could they apply it any where else in there life.
These kids don't respect their parents so how could they respect their teachers, peers etc...

I am glad you had a better day today.

take care,

Anakin,
I don't know what you teach, but I teach college and they have no respect either! So it's not you; but I believe that they are just clueless and that the best way to deal with it is to explain how things should be done gently.
