hi, i am a 25 year old girl. I used to be really happy, i was overwight at 145 pounds. now 7 years later i wegh 69 pounds, and i was just diagned with cyclic vomiting syndrome. im really scared. im buying a house im always anxious i dont have any friends to talk to... i feel like im dying every day. i work a 40 hur management job at retail but i love my job. what can i do to manage my symptoms of CVS?
I don't know how tall you are but 69 pounds seems pretty low!!! I take 15mg of citalopram I have had increased libido since my anxiety is better. Sounds like you are already experiencing worse symptoms than the side effects that SSRI's cause which typically go away after you have leveled out! I imagine the vomiting comes from anxiety if you get it under control you will get that under control. My suggestion is start on a low dose of citalopram like 5mg and slowly go up every couple of weeks till you find the dose that works for you!
Have you taken anything for this problem, I just lost 13 pounds from gaststroenteritis. They perscribed me ondansetron/zofran and it worked miracles. It convinces your brain you don't need to vomit. I couldn't keep down water and I went to the.r in a rash from severe dehydration. I also drink protien shakes from isagenix it really helps with weight, and feeling healthy.
Goodluck <3
I am so sorry cvs has hit you so hard. It is an awful illness to have to endure. My advice is to go on Facebook and search for the cvs groups they have. I've suffered for many years. Since joining the groups on fb I've met many wonderful folks who go through the same thing. We share as much info as possible with eachother. The hardest part is what works for some does not work for others. This is why the numbers of people there are a valuable asset. Lots of different ideas on things that can help.
