What is this? I'm the next heir to the family and I'm only going to grow to 5'5 (doctor said). My whole life I was told that i am a late bloomer and ill be 5'10-6'. Now it drops to a measly 5'5. My younger brothers and sisters have already beaten me in height. This is the most depressing time of my life. I hate being this short. I never got a girl even when i tried. Even the girls that are like 5'0. Girls are pretty tall these days... and I'm shorter than them. Is there a way to grow? Maybe Growth Hormone shots? I really need it I'm desperate.

To those with anticipatory anxiety?

How do you deal with it?I have lived with this and panic disorder for years. 99.9% of the time, what I am worried about does not happen.It is very tiring to do this to myself.When I go on vacation, I cannot have fun, I think too much, what if this happens or I lose control of myself. It is almost like I cannot trust myself.This has been my whole life. Going somewhere new or far from home bothers me. I want to go see my son in NY and the thought of getting on a plane alone freaks me out-also the fact that I have to navigate by myself once I get there.Other people it seems so easy. I see other people living it up and I feel like I can't do anything.Driving is becoming a chore- if I have to drive far from home-I get scared what if something happens and I can't get back home?? I know that sounds stupid and there are probably people out that that that has never crossed their minds before. Is it too much thinking? I have to analyze everythng I do before I do it. I want to stop this.

I have been using PROZAC for 4 years. Are the side effects of Prozac reversible?

I have been using Prozac for over 4 years. I have noticed the following changes changes:
1.I am emotionally inactive (I can not smile, laugh, cry….etc). This almost include all my feelings except anger.
2.I have tendency toward anger.
3.I am being careless and lazy in many things.
4.I am sexually less active than I was before using the drug.

My question is: are those side effects reversible when quitting the drug under the supervision of a doctor?

And thank you very much for reading my question

Have the pain pill junkies ruined it for the rest of us?

Yesterday morning I went to the ER for wisdom tooth pain, a nerve is exposed and my pain is through the roof. I was given 800mg ibuprofen. I was happy that I was going to get some pain relief. I took the Ibuprofen and nothing, for the rest of the day my tooth pain was cutting right through the IB.

I called the hospital and asked for a script of something stronger or even Tylenol 3. and was told that the Ibuprofen that was perscribed was enough to handle the pain. BUT IT WASN'T.

So what is the deal, did the hospitals adopt a blanket mentality that everyone is an addict. I'm sure my expirence is not unique and there are probably more people that walk out of ER rooms not having their pain managed correctly.
