I was taking 20mg of lexapro once a day, and it really helped. My insurance stoped covering it so they tried me on paxil, zoloft, effexor, and prozac. The only one that worked for depression was the lexapro. I am wondering about what to get for the anxiety attacks--the lexapro does not stop those. I cannot take xanax. Would valium be appropriate to take when I feel a panic attack comming on.

So last month I was 3 weeks late, after several negative pregnancy tests, got my period and it was normal.
This month my period came on schedule, counting from the beginning of my late period last month, but I am in soooo much pain and it is very heavy. The pain is radiating from my lower abdomen to my lower back.

Has anyone ever had a similar experience?

I'm 29 and in good health.

We went to an Ob/Gyn who did an annual exam and now the insurance company won't pay for the visit and says the doctor billed everything wrong. The doctor says take it up with the insurance company. The insurance company says take it up with the doctors office. And we just keep getting bills for $2000 for an annual exam! What do we do? We can't afford that at all. We are just students. Is there someone out there that can help fix this? Is there a service like the Better Business Bureau for medical practices?

How am I gonna get down to 110 lbs. if I'm 5'2" & weigh almost 300 lbs.? I'm 23, going on 24. It seems like it would take forever if the only healthy amount of pounds to lose is 1-2/week. I remember when I was taking Tae Kwon Do classes, I was losing a pound a day. But I heard that if you lose weight so fast, you'd be at risk for gall stones. My friend is very slender & athletic, & she said she's gonna help me eat right & exercise, but she suggests I also get a professional personal trainer & get fitness assessment. She said that she doesn't like seeing me be this big. But my psych medications make me eat a lot, & also I eat a lot of "comfort" foods when depressed & I'm depressed all the time. Also, she said that she's gonna exercise with me to motivate me to stay dedicated & not quit. I know how to eat healthy, but certain healthy foods I can't swallow for some reason-I gag on beets, bananas, yogurt, & tomatoes. & healthy food is very expensive for my amount of income. Any diet ideas?

I have a lipoma (fatty tumor), at least that's what the doc thinks, on my breast. It's rather large & he may not be able to remove, it if that happens he'll have to do a masectomy. It's on my good breast, I've had breast reduction and lost sensitivity in my other breast. I know my breasts don't define who I am as a person, but yet I'm feeling depressed about how my breasts will look & feel. In fact, I'm saddened by it. Luckily I don't have a history of breast cancer in my family & the doc thinks it isn't cancer. I was wandering if anyone else has had a similar experience or if anyone can give some encouragement. I know I'll be fine b/c my father's church & my friends are praying for me. I'm just hoping for some positive feedback. Men feel free to advise as well. My husband & some of my male friends are really loving & supportive and I really feel blessed, but I can't shake this depression. Thanks. 2D

How tall are you & how much do you weigh? Do you obsess over your weight? I OBSESS over my weight every second of everyday! I HATE my body because I've gained 25 pounds (YIKES!!!) in the past 2 years!!! I'm not technically overweight, my BMI is 22.4, but I feel like such a COW! All I can ever think about is how fat I feel! I eat healthy (I have a piece of chocolate here or there but not even once a day) & I do get exercise (I admit not as much as I should) but I get a fair amount...Oh I also drink a TON of water & no soda! (like 15-20 TALL glasses of water a day!) I try to only eat no more than 1500 calories a day... I can't stop thinking about how fat I feel though! Why is this??? Does anyone else OBSESS constantly over their weight like me? Is there something wrong with me that I'm so unhappy with myself?

Nutritionists, medical doctors, natural health gurus bamboozle us to no end about "omega-3 fatty acids..", "the surgeon general has determined.." , "triglycerides & HDL".

I am sure, people so much into statistics, and with such genius expertise in the extraction of "control group" data must have amply documented over the past decades the SIGNIFICANT good that their carefully controlled life style has done for them.

So, how much longer do these "control groups" live than you and I ?
