Mental Health - December 2006

Hi,i have been on lexapro 3 weeks now..i feel alot better! All of my side effects are nearly gone except my sleep is still disturbed. last weekend i went to a christmas party and had around 3 or 4 beers, i noticed that it made my sleep more disturbed, i didnt sleep any at all that night..where before the lex,beer would make me sleep well. Has this happened to anyone? Also, i have another party to go to friday night, i was thinking about maybe having some wine, i was wondering if that was ok, and if it would have the same effect as the beer and make me wired for some reason. Id love to hear from people who have experienced this. Thank you!!

I know this question has been asked before but my dilemma is this: My Back Porch. I know it sounds stupid so hear me out:

I do not smoke at work, in my car, in my home, not even when I'm out socially, but the first thing I want to do when I get home is go to my back porch and light up. What's that about?

I believe I can quit with patch-assisted help, but what do I do about the beautiful porch nestled in the mountains calling my name??? I look at my deck as an extension of my home and I've tried to "not going" outside but it drives me nuts!

HELP - I have some freaky mind-block that I can't snap out of.

Recently i been waking up in the middle of the nite from a sound sleep and my heartbeat is racing like its gonna explode. Then i sit up and calm down. I fall back asleep like 20 mins later i wake up again with my heart racing. This use to happen to me 7 years ago a few times on and off since then but now its like everynite. I told my dr. he said to avoid caffiene. I have no idea what is wrong with me but its getting kinda scary. Last time i went to the hospital they said it was a anxiety or panic attack why would i wake up out of a deep sleep if thats the case? Does anyone else suffer from this and know what it is?

I get extremely irritated when I find somebody behaving in a stupid/shameless way or when somebody misbehaves with me. Often i cannot react at the right moment and later I suffer from mental jitterings due to this. Unfortunately I live in such a surrounding that I have to face many instances which later give rise to bitter memories. For example I find some faculty members in our inst to be extremely stupid. I meet highly arrogant clerks offices whose behaviour I cannot tolerate. I feel extremely bitter. How can I handle this situation?

It happens with me all the time. People noticing probably think that I am a demented nut case. Do other people also sometimes talk to themselves? Though in my case its a bit too often. Do I need help?

Well like the question states, i have a problem with impulse buying. Sometimes I'll see things that i dont really even need, but still get them anyways, then later regret even buying the damn thing.

Any tips on stopping or controlling these urges?

First of all i have no insurance, so daily PhD therarpy or a long drawn out medical testin is out. I suffer from general anxiety, panic attacks that have resulted avoidance behavior to the max.

I'm curious what meds will wok best for me. I might be suffering from depression, I'm not sure.

I'm looking for a medication or medications that do the following.

1. No weight gain like I hear most meds of this nature do.
2. Do not cause severe addiction, or present severe withdrawls upon discontinuation.
3. I like sex, so it should have limite sexual side affects
4. I don't want a medication that hops you up like cociane, I've heard some do this in attempts to reduce depression. No thanks.

Any tips?

The only med I've tried before is Xanax, and this was only taken three times per month when full blown panic sets in. I need a med that basically releives panic symptoms, leviates depression and axniet, no addiction, no weight gain, no sexual side affects.

HELP ME PLEASE?

I get really confused after this happens.
It only happens at night.
Around 2 or 3 hours go bye.
What is it called, and what causes it?

I do not know how to deal with verbal abuse from an adult parent. This is my mother and she treats everyone else normaly as far as I can see. If I confront her she starts yelling at me very loudly. She is older and has done this all my life and it is getting worse. I have three brothers (I'm the only girl) who she treats with respect, so I'm puzzled. I have struggled with depression most of my life, I believe it's because of how I am treated by her. I'm in therapy and she is constantly yelling at me to stop going....I think because I have gotten a bit stronger. I get suicidal at times. My husband does not help me with this at all. Any suggestions? I don't want to be abusive back!!

I had temper tantrums when I was young. This was then aggravated by several factors - family problems, stresses in school, continued teasings from certain people, detachments to our community, etc. Whenever I have emotional stress, I get moody, vindictive and destructive. I also get impatient on some things or people I don't like the most. I discovered my health problems related to this: hypertension, profuse sweating, nausea, etc. I also discovered that I have severe cases of inferiority complex. I keep on having this until my present age of 18. How should I prevent this?
