I haven't taken the pills yet- I am starting them tomorrow. I freaked when I saw that a side effect was weight gain! I am trying to loose weight. If I don't eat ANYTHING, I can't gain weight, right? The medicine says to take with food, but if I fast while I'm on it will my body still gain weight?

Don't tell me this is stupid- just tell me if I won't gain if I don't eat, or else I'm throwing out the medication.

thanks.

I'm 5'10", 130 lbs. When i eat a lot and weigh myself at night, I'm amazingly 140 lbs. The next morning it's back down to 130 lbs. What the hell's wrong with me? It always goes like that, whatever i eat or do (gym, protein, whatever), it always go back down to 130 lbs. Is there something wrong? How can i gain a few pounds without losing it the next day?

and needing to lay down to make it improve - (still not great but a bit better)

When I stare at the computer screen, if only for 10 minutes - I feel so dizzy and off balance I have to lay down, which helps a bit...

When I have a shower I have to face away from the wall (into bathroom) because the walls seem to make me feel dizzier and more unbalanced and I feel like I am going to lose balance and fall, so I get in and out as quick as possible.

Also tired a lot, very fatigued.

Its like a dizzy light headed unbalanced sensation and its rather scary. It is an everyday occurance now.

Doctors keep telling me I have anxiety - and I DO - but this is NOT anxiety - I KNOW the difference.

Other syptoms include prolonged periods... weeks at a time... including some clotting...
For this the Dr said take some iron tablets and he took bloods to check for anemia (though he looked at my eyes and somehow knew it wasnt that )- Im waiting for them to come back.

Any ideas?

I'm only on my second period so I don't know really what's normal for me or how to deal with it. But right now I'm kind of dizzy and I have a small cramp and pain in my lower back. Is that all normal? What can I do to feel better?

someone to talk to..I have no support essentially.

(please see the last paragraph if you do not want to reed the whole thing)

I do have a counselor but she was out of town and dealing with a family problems when all this was going on in the two weeks before she died and the last two or three weeks so no counseling 6 weeks but one last week but whole session was taking up with a brother was is relapsing into schizophrenia due to the stress who lived with her. I am a loner with no friends and family too dysfunctional and backstabbing and stuff..very little support there. All the community options mostly were dead-ends and I am starting a grief support group in 3 weeks but it is at a church and I feel I can't express all I am feeling including some mixed feelings on my mom and how messed up my family is and such.

I had a second appointment with him today. The first appointment went great. I thought he was a little on the wierd side but was friendly enough. All in all I left feeling that I was in good hands. I should mention that it was at the Health Science Center and he had a PA shadowing him. The second meeting was today and it was like a different doctor. He was alone and it was a horrible experience. It was like my lips were moving, but he couldn't hear me. He did not listen to any of my concerns. he diagnosed me with Fibromialgia, told me I would be in pain for the rest of my life and there was no medicine available for it. At one point I was actually crying, my husband was getting angry and Dr. Ratnoff looked at me like I was crazy. He said ..."have you been feeling weepy lately?' My husband and I just got up and left, me in tears, him very red faced... we just walked away from him because we didn't know what else to do. Has anyone else had a similar experience with him?

Hi, I am a 23 year old male and university graduate. I suffer from OCD, depression, anxiety disorder, social phobia and dermatillomania. I am pretty sure I suffer from all of these as I did a bit of research over the years. Don't get me wrong, I am not self-diagnosing myself but I feel I relate to all of the symptoms shown in the above illnesses. However, I am yet to speak to a doctor with my problems as I am affraid to do so.
I have found some Flouxetine in my mother's cupboard. She has a regular supply for herself from the doctor. Should I take them without informing my doctor?

p.s. I haven't been to the doctor for anything since I was 17 or so. Along time ago, I don't know his name or even if I have a doctor at the moment.

I have a mole on my…private part. Not on the outside but on the inside. I’m 14 years old and I really think I should get it checked…but I’m sort of self conscious. I don’t really like stripping down in front of people and I sort of don’t want to show my parents…if you know what I mean. What should I do?
