My doctor just prescribed prozac to me for chemical imbalance. I have not started it yet, as I was told he would like for me to stay on them for at least 9 months.

I am on risperdal and prozac, my memory is shot and I cant focus on anything. it has affected my job adn home life, my wife says I get these dazed looks on my face, my buddies at work tell me I always slur my speech and my boss has told me some clients arr complaining that I dont even seem to be paying attention to them when they talk to me. I of course do not see any of this and thought I was acting normal the whole time. I went back to the shrink and told him of these issues and he said lay low at work and keep on taking what you are taking. two more talks from my boss again got me scared (he now knows I am on meds and so does everyone else ) anyways asked a friend that I knew had problems and he said that his DR gave him ritalin and this gave him his focus back. I bought some ( without prescription ) and tried them. they worked great. I wenback to the shrink and told him what I did and he said that was the worst drug I could have taken, he said just to stay what I am on. help?

I have been burning all over i.e. head, legs, arms, eyes, nasal passages. I have had all kinds of tests and nothing shows up. I have even seen a neurologist and got no help there either. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

yesterday. Everything was fine except her BP was pretty high. It always goes up when she goes to Dr. and she gets really nervous. It was down to 140/80 last night when I checked it. This morning when I got up she was sweating (cold sweat) and said she had felt sick but she was feeling better. No pain or any other symptoms. She also is diabetic and on oral meds for that. Thinking it may be a blood sugar drop (cause it was running low a couple of days ago) I gave her some cereal. She's fine now but I'm unsure about what to do if it happens again. Could it be her heart if the only symptom is a cold sweat? I don't know if I should take her to the ER right away or not. She gets so nervous when she has to go to the dr. I'm afraid it might make her worse.

Does anyone have any ideas for learning to keep emotions hidden or at least to not be ruled by them?

I find that whatever I'm feeling is extremely apparent to everyone who knows me, especially people who care about me. I have no defences. When I am hurt or angry or just depressed, I cry. The tears just come and everyone knows that I'm worked-up. I can't just put on a cool face and pretend that I'm not affected. This makes it easy for people to "get to me" and I feel weak when they know I am that bothered.

Also, I find it very hard to do anything when I'm having a problem emotionally. I can't work well or get on with my life until the crisis is solved.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't drink coffee that often-- maybe 3 cups a week. But when I do, I noticed I always have to go to the bathroom a lot (and I mean #2). I also get gassy. It's kind of embarassing when I try to go study at a coffee shop and I have to keep packing up my computer just to go to the bathroom. It's not that I get diarrhea, but I just have these obvious induced bowel movements (sorry to gross anyone out!) that I can tell are from the coffee. I can tell because it happens everytime, like clockwork-- so much so that I would never think of drinking coffee on a long trip or at a place where I would not be able to use a restroom for some time.

Does anyone else experience this? Is there a way around it, so that I can enjoy coffee without it messing around with my digestion?

I suffer from depression a lot but everyday I keep plodding along. The thing which keeps me going is the media. Now I think that I can't die until I have seen saw 3. After that I will hopefully find a book that I have to finish or a computer game that I have to complete. What keeps you going through the bad times in life?

Last night I had a really bad nightmare. Basically, I was at school- it was mine in the dream, but not mine currently- and (even thuogh I'm a good student, straight- A's normally) I was skipping classes and getting into all kinds of stuff. I'd have weird periods of disorentation, and frequently find myself with...less clothes than I'd normally choose to wear. Near the end of the dream, I had what I now recognize as one of the scariest revelations anyone could have. I realized I was going crazy. I knew I needed a doctor, but our family couldn't afford it, so I'd have to spend the rest of my life mentally unstable.

I woke up in a cold sweat...can anybody tell me what this means?

A member of my staff has gone home ill today after being sick. Her mother has been sick and it appears she has got the same thing through looking after her. I have looked up the symptoms on NHS and it says that this can be extremely infectious. Technically she should not come in tomorrow but she is a temp and will not want to lose the money. Do I have any rights to demand her not to come in? Thanks

I'm 32wks pregnant and for the past few months I've been getting nore and more discharge. Not anything different and what I described to the doctor, he said was normal, and it looks normal to me because I have had yeast infections before and a couple of others. But has anyone ever noticed a smell like garlic in their discharge. I know that sounds gross, and I'll ask my doc about it at the next appt. This isn't the first time I've noticed this it happens sometimes, even when I haven't been pregnant. It just seems stronger now. Any ideas? I don't have ANY other weird symptoms except the normal pregnancy discharge! Thanks and please be kind!!!!
