hi all,its me again.i have finally read most of the messages and am even more scared.cos of being disabled,i have put weight on anyway,and this makes my rheumatoid worse..extra weight on the joints,i also have a long term back problem from when i was run over by a car when cycling 10 years ago,and again extra weight makes it worse! has anyone ever lost weight,or is it all weight gain?im sure my doctor thinks im imagining illnesses cos i can never take any medication longer than 2-3 months ,and i have to stop them.im freaking out here.just tried to have some water and dropped the cup.has anyone else felt so weird so early on the first day?sorry for the ramble.
Hi Wildcat
I've lost weight on it but who knows why?
I don't seem to be able to take medication for long periods i don't know if its my body not liking it or my head just decides enough is enough?
My GP is still cross with me for stopping my thyroid medication for an overactive thyroid, so has been less helpful on the AD, but did he want me to be alive or not. Thats how bad the thyroid meds made me.
He also thinks its all imaginary illnesses.
Keep taking them they do help lots of people.

Hey, i am not even supposed to be here ( lliterally) , Hey huns all I can say :Docots\" ( lets face it they really , well are human, but probably know a great deal more about the bodies chemitry than you norr I, therefor, I say dont be freightened, if they have an issue and think you have something or another to get over, they would not prescribe it..I am quite sure, Pls take securtity in that comment, the pair of you. I am no expert and believe me, I have my fair share to deal with, but if it helps then , I say take it. Ive used citalopram for a long time. My head was messed up ) though I must admit I dont know when I started to fall) there is no dividing line. Look, Ive been banned from this site and blah blah , but I say this and this as I know that probably, you dont go to a doc without a severity ( well I never ) whoops apart from the acne ( HA ha) anyway, my point ( which I seem to be loosing) is that an experienced individual with mediacl knowledge , would not prescribe a pill , without their own backbone comfort ( I hope). Though , like my daughter syasy \"weather...men\" My point is, if it does go pear shpaed at least you can go back to the professores ( well thats what they get paid for) and say look doll, this is happening...blah blah. So instead of feeling insecure about getting yourself better, feel like they are there for you. The professionals have listenerd to you far enough and fair enough to prescribe it. so do not feel ashames, do not worry, ride the bike, swim the water, Just take the pill. i say help is nearby if it goes wrong. Dont analyse the side effects, Hey look , take a look a cough meds, at paracetamol, look at thos. ( Bear in mind , more people take a worse reaction to harmless, non- prescribed peanut butter) so dont resent yourself, do it for your self, Stop analysing...get better babes. Life is incredibly short, so make it sweet, Itsa quality;not quantity , that important. I hope Ive helped. Hugs and love, and never beat yourself up...you do things for a reason/love KJM.
cheers lizzy.today was horrible.went to bed exhausted and then tossed n turned til 5am.sounds and light hurt me ,and then my slippers(?) on the floor turned into a dog!!!my son asked if i was ok cos i was so weird and couldnt get my words out and was shaking so much.i settled at bout 4pm,felt normal.im now faced with ...do i take another tablet tonight or not?dont do \"drugs\",but a close friend said i was stoned and tripping.after one day i feel that any benefits arent worth being like this for maybe 4-6 weeks till it settles.i am the only person to care for my son,so if im ill i truly dont have anyone to help care for him.i hope it works for you ,and you have a great life,cheers,wildcat. :
Hi Wildcat
I would keep at them they take 4 weeks at least for the body to settle down the benefits will far outway the side effects when they start to work. Its more important to be well especially when you have children to think of.
Take care.
