I have been taking 10mg of Lexapro for almost 4 weeks now. It had been helping tremendously until 3 days ago. I had a horrible panic attack and xanax is the only thing that will take the feelings away. Today I am experiencing another attack and was told by my doctor to up my dosage starting tomorrow to 20mg of Lexapro a day for the panic attacks. Does anyone know if this is normal? Does it help or is it possible to make the symptoms of a panic attack worse? Thanks to all who answer.

Here is the problem, I work a couple days a week, I am taken a lot of hours this semester, I'm in a sorority, involved with Habitiat for Humanity, the Hope Care Center, volunteering for a political party, and to top it all off, I live in the dorms. I don't have time or the facilites to cook healthy meals for myself. I try to keep fruit, vegtables, or basically whatever will keep--in my dorm room, but you can only keep so much--and only so much will keep. Did I mention I have no money too? I can't afford to buy groceries constantly. So inconclusion, my question is--what diets are avaiable in this situation? Ideally I would like to cut out carbs, but there isn't a lot of wiggle room.

I used to be so attractive and so nice looking. I had wonderful curves, cute face nice hair...everything. I am still intelligent but I am honest enuff with myself to admit that I am no longer nice looking. I have polycystic ovaries and it is threaten to become cancer. I have gained lots of weight and even If I lose it my body shape has changed drastically, now I’m larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. I have body hair, I mean large amounts, very visible, I have a full grown beard connecting side burns.
I was an extremely attractive girl when I was 12-17 Now I'm 19 and just a mess.
My boyfriend (who’s now decease) brought back the notion that I just might be beautiful. But I can no longer consider that valid cuz he was cheating so I couldn't have been that beautiful.
Anyway my self-esteem is fine, I love myself but I just know in for a fact I am ugly...I just wanna be beautiful again.

I've had the thing for a few years now & its so much better than it used to be - just residing to the top of my feet. The annoying thing is I have to apply powder twice a day with the foot deodorant I use (if I don't use foot deodrant my Athlete's Foot eats away at my foot like nobody's business) and it stays the same i.e. doesn't get worse, doesn't get better. I've used cream & spray. As I alternated between the cream, the spray & the powder it seemed to get better but appears to have now reached a permanent plateau. Basically, any ideas how I can get rid of the damn fungi?

I'm 27 years old, married and pregnant with my second child. This pregnancy has been astoundingly different than the pregnancy with my first.

My problem is that I am getting rather bad varicose veins in both my legs; some of them have even burst and left behind nasty spiderweb like black marks (bruises). To start with... I don't have time to sit back and relax at many times during the day -- I'm a stay-at-home Mom with my 10 month old who recently started walking. I get rest time when she gets nap time and when my husband comes home from work (an hour before baby's bedtime) -- he goes to work before she gets up to start her day.

My question is ... Have anyone else out there had this problem or similar to it? Are there any suggestions to reducing the vericose veins that I already have or to preventing more later on as this pregnancy progresses?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have been having bad headaches that I could attribute to the stress of grad school but I think they might be migraines because tylenol doesn't always help. I just want to know from people who experience these headaches what symptoms to look for and which over the counter medicines work best for you?

I have been getting severe back pain when I've been constipated the last few times. Is it because of too much pizza or stuff? How do I relieve the constipation without ex-lax or that metamucel
