problems -- but "candida sensitivity" (where candida is blamed for
everything that is wrong with you from fatigue to bowel trouble) is, at
best, dubious.

| Mertazapine(Remeron, Zispin) Fraser 16:39:44 |
| | I suffer from severe social anxiety. I was diagnosed in 2002, and was
prescribed Nefazodone (Dutonin) which I took for 6 or 7 months. After seeing
a clinical psychologist for a month or two, it was decided that I would stop
taking the medication - I was feeling great, my life was back on track.
In recent months my anxiety has appeared back and has gradually become
worse. After discussing the situation with my doctor I have been prescribed
Mirtazapine (as Nefazadone in no longer produced) and am now on 45mg / day
after a month. A good friend has just come round to visit me, who I haven't
seen in a couple of months, the first time i have been in a situation which
would make me anxious - I realised that my anxiety has not become any
better, if anything it has become worse, I was in a bit of a state.
Has anyone experienced anything similar with this medication? I have an
appointment with my doctor tomorrow and am trying to find out about
suitable alternative medications with minimal side effects which I could
discuss with her? Can anyone suggest any such medication from experience?
Thanks for taking the time to read this

| Geodon-The Whole Story + Sharing With The Other NG Guest 21:31:05 |
| | Greetings one and all.
I have a dilemma. I have posted a rather lengthy message at the other
unmoderated alt.support.anxiety-panic support group titled "Geodon-The
Whole Story". How many people reading this post can or will go to that
group and view this posting? I suppose I could retype it here, problem
is my typing skills are mediocre at best, and it took me over 2 hours to
type it there. I could really use as much relevant feedback as possible,
and I don`t want to appear to be lazy or presumptuous. But if anyone
reading this can go there and check out my story, I`d really appreciate
it. Again, the title is "Geodon-The Whole Story".
Thank You for any comments you`d care to share.
Sincerely,
Bob

| Nighttime panic attacks? Pigdos 14:04:11 |

these days and then I wake up and it's not much better. Sorry for dumping on

| Linden Method? Sanijan@Gmail.Com 18:24:21 |
| | Hi
I came across an advert for a Linden Method for anxiety. I was
wondering if anyone knows anything about this method. What does it
involve and what your results with it were?
I did a search on google groups for it but didn't find any posts with
any relevant information. There were a lot of posts dismissive of the
method but no explanations why.
Thanks,
Jan

| Just rambling Phillip Morgan 11:59:50 |
| | I'm just rambling a bit, because I'm having a bad night
anxiety-wise. Not
panicking, but I've been doing so well lately, so this is a bit of a
let down, being
too nervous to sleep.
I've been thinking about what a friend on the net said to me last
night. He says
he thinks I am something of an idiot-savant with regards to anxiety. He
says this
because I recently told him I've been working 7 days a week for the
last month
and a half. He says he could never survive that kind of stress, and
yet, I've done
it a number of times. But, if anything presses even slightly on my
phobias, I will
collapse completely, and take weeks to recover.
I think I have reached my limit for working those sort of hours for
now though.
The worst part is that I'm not even getting paid overtime for this, I
just won't get
blamed and fired for failing to do the impossible.  I'm still not
sure how I managed
to get screwed over so thoroughly, but now all I can do is try and get
through it.
I've developed an odd sort of thing related to my anxiety over the
last few years.
Basically, I can't seem to watch drama on TV any more. I keep seeing
the
events unfold, and I start going to myself, "No, don't do that! Don't
say that! Bad
things will happen!" Which is usually the point. But then I end up
obsessing about
it for ages afterwards, as though it had happened for real. I've never
had a pdoc
willing to tell me what he thought I had, beyond the word anxiety. But
from the way
I act, I'm pretty sure I've got a reasonable dose of social anxiety. I
am quite frightened
of meeting people, and talking to people. And one of the things that
really sets me
off is conflict. Which is what TV drama is based on. *sigh*
Until tonight I was doing very well. In fact I was doing better than
I had since my
mid-20's. I am wondering if my anxiety is cyclic over a period of
years. I tried to
discuss the idea with my wife, and got a lecture on sampling biases,
and other
statistical flaws in my hypothesis. I guess that's the trouble with
being married to a
researcher who does statistical analysis. I haven't been free of
anxiety since I was
12, but I've had better and worse years. If I am right, then I should
be able to cope
without medication of any kind for the next few years. We shall see.
Tonight I am not
feeling well, but I know that even just a few years ago I was going
through far worse.
Just writing this out has helped me to calm down. I think I will try
and sleep again.
I know I'm going to regret posting this in the morning, but, just being
able to say this
sort of thing in front of people who will understand is curiously
calming. Even if no one
replies. I guess the appropriate thing to say at this point is, "Thank
you, you've been
a wonderful audience. Good night."

I did call again just now, and he called me back -- he said to stop
taking the antibiotic, and he's calling in a vicodin rx for me, and I
am to call the office first thing in the morning.
I hope he can shoot my face full of novocain, get me stoned on
something, pull the tooth, and say "That'll be five dollars, please."
Yeah, okay -- I'm not reality based today. So sue me.

| Stress Can Shrink and Age Your Brain Frizzie 10:12:34 |
| | Stress Can Shrink and Age Your Brain
Effects range from memory problems to cell damage linked to aging,
studies say
By Randy Dotinga
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Aug. 11 (HealthDay News) -- New research is providing insight
into how stress can shrink your brain cells and prematurely age your
immune system.
Essentially, the researchers say, stress can addle your mind and make
you older. But there's good news too: Exercise can make a huge
difference. And, in the case of the brain at least, time might heal the
wounds caused by stress.
"The brain is very resilient," said Bruce McEwen, head of the
neuroendocrinology laboratory at Rockefeller University in New York
City. "Give it a chance and it will make every effort to repair
itself."
McEwen was scheduled to present his research Friday to the annual
convention of the American Psychological Association, in New Orleans.
McEwen said his research has found even more signs that repeated stress
actually causes neurons in the brain to shrink, at least in rats.
Earlier research showed that the neurons shrink in the hippocampus, and
that seems to impair memory in response to stress, he said. More recent
research suggests that the same thing happens in the brain region
called the prefrontal cortex, which is crucial for decision-making and
attention, he said.
When stressed, rats lose what McEwen calls "mental flexibility" -- "the
ability of the animal to use a familiar set of cues in a different way
when the location of a food reward is shifted."
What does this mean for humans? "Stress hormones act on the brain to
remodel it and change it," McEwen said. "The brain of a stressed animal
or human being is a different brain. It has different capacities, and
it may be more anxious and have less ability to pay attention or learn
or remember."
But there are potential fixes for those with mental stress, McEwen
said. "A combination of psychotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy and
pharmaceuticals could actually change the brain and restore it more or
less to normal," he said.
Exercise is another potential booster, he said, adding, "there's
growing evidence that exercise has very powerful effects."
Outside the brain, stress can wreak havoc on the immune system,
according to another study to be presented at the meeting.
Research suggests that stress can shorten the chunks of DNA at the tips
of chromosomes in cells, making it harder for them to work properly,
according to the researcher, Elissa Epel, a psychologist at the
University of California, San Francisco. The bits of DNA "are like the
plastic caps on the ends of our shoelaces. They prevent the ends from
fraying," she said.
What does this mean? "We examined healthy women and found that
psychological stress was related to shortened" tips, she said. As a
result, the immune system of the stressed-out women is apparently aging
at a faster rate.
The treatments for this problem are what you might expect. "Everything
we already know about fighting off chronic disease, like getting
sufficient sleep, staying active throughout life, and having a healthy
diet" may stave off premature aging of the immune system, too, Epel
said.

It must be a freaking miracle that I reached age 64 after having my
first panic attack at age 16. Talk about a lifetime of stress. My
brain must be the size of a pea by now. I did a net search on stress
and panic disorder -- you can imagine how many articles came up on
google.
Just thot I'd share.
