I'm touching keyboards, dodgeballs, pencils,doorknobs, (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) desks, chairs, books, and other random things. I am a super germ freak, and even when nothing is going around I still freak out about opening a door.

I am currently on a mood stabilizer for bipolar 2. Lamictal, 100mg a day. I have mild anxiety that can at times get severe. I don't want to add another drug unless absolutely necessary. Been doing some research, and came up with two herbs that may be able to help. Passion Flower, and Valerian. What, in your opinion, would be the best one to take?

Also, does anyone have experiences or advice for lithium orotate? I am thinking about adding it to my daily regimen. I know you are going to say talk to my doctor, but none of them are supportive of me taking herbs.

Thanks in advance!

I been on over dozens of medications in the past but when I was 16 I took Prozac, it made me start cutting then I tried to kill myself but I was younger and now Im 21. Since I started taking it again- 20mg which will slowly be raised to 80mg I notice I have strange homicidal dreams but no dreams about suicide. The doctor said to continue taking it and give it time to work. Im taking it for bulimia. My appetite has also chilled down a little but I dont know if its from the prozac or just my strict will power that I often have to starve myself. The doctor prescribed it and said its suppoasto help with the binging/ purging so thats the only reason why Im taking it now. Has anybody taken it? I notice I am able to sleep at night and piss alot. What experiences did you have with it and did it work for your depression and anxiety? Did it make you gain/lose weight? Did the binging stop? Can I continue taking my diet pills and diuretics? Im addicted, I know its bad It will end hopefully 1 day.

I went to scratch a part of my back and I reached back and lifted my head a little and I had this sharp,stabbing pain above my shoulder blade. Then I got it again when I looked down and now it won't go away. Did I pinch a nerve or something?

i'm 5'2" and used to weigh about 105 lbs. that looked ideal on my small body frame. i've been working out for almost a month because i noticed i had started to gain weight and wanted to keep it off. but i ended up getting to 110 lbs! i use the treadmill for 30 mins (incline of 4 and speed of 5.2) and an elliptical cross-trainer for 10 mins (at the lowest resistance level). i also do lateral pull-downs (4 lbs) and push-ups (no weights). why have my thighs gotten bigger?! i don't restrict my eating, but i tend to make at least one meal a salad.

so i'm wondering why i can't lose the few pounds i want; i know it seems like i'm at my ideal weight, but the flabby tummy, big thighs and double chin is NOT suiting me! :)

i'd appreciate advice on how i can use the machines to my advantage to get back to 105 lbs.

thanks in advance!

For 8 months now my throat has felt like it's not draining properly. I was living in the Middle East and picked up a virus which led to sinusutus, this mixed with the dust and pollution there made me quite ill but I shook the sinusitus and thought I would get better.

Since moving back to the UK I have had this feeling of post nasal drip, where it feels like my throat is filling up with fluid. I have the constant need to clear my throat and cough, then it fills back up. I have been to see an ENT specialist who ran all the allergy tests which came up negative, also a barium swallow through which showed nothing untoward. He has had me on acid reflux tablets now for a month but they aren't doing anything. He's run out of ideas (?!). I am NOT a smoker.

Please someone help me, I'm going out of my mind. It feels like there is a pool of water CONSTANTLY in my throat.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Alright ladies this is my newest question, a topic that I actually have shared with a very small number of friends but still would like some feedback from ya'll.

My whole life I have enjoyed that soft/smooth/clean feeling, which of course comes natural after shaving or waxing. Given that knowledge I have continuously been waxing most of my body on an occasional basis...those areas inlude the underarms, chest, abbs, waist, butt, brazilian (everything down there!!), and full legs; only once did I do the arms though.

Am I being too overly crazy about that soft/smooth/clean feeling?? I do enjoy it, not just because of sexual purpuses.

I have already begun the laser hair removal treatments for the underarms, butt, and brazilian area (taking it all off).

I do not plan on getting anything else lasered, but have been wondering if I should continue waxing all of it. I am not an extremely hairy guy, nor am I gay.

Ladies please, please, please! comment...thanks :)

The past week every day my nose has started bleeding and I don't know why. It just starts gushing, then after a minute or 2 it stops. I know that it's not healthy to lean your head back and plug your nose when it does that because it gets back in your head. My question is.... why would my nose be bleeding so often and what can I do to stop it?
