I am a worrier by nature ..that's just me. I worry when will it get better if at all. For crying out loud I get dizzy fuzzy feeling in my head just having conversations w people. My ears tingle when I do things like typing on my blackberry doing wash etc.


I try to take deep breaths when in bed

I'm trying to tire myself out w some exercise on my spin bike most days too

My routine after dinner is ...get boys to take a shower. Then I take a long hot shower
Give them a snack bed and then I have a cup of tea (decaf...chamomillle) and occasionally try to watch a little tv (until my head feels weird)

Any sugesstions? Oh no caffiene all day
DO NOT continue with the Ativan!!! It is addictive (a narcotic) and the withdrawl is hell. Believe me, I have never been on heroin, but this withdrawl is said to be even worse. Use Zyprexa (used for Bipolar I). It will give you 11-12 hours of sleep a night. It is non-addicting and has minimal withdrawal. I have been on both. I seriously caution you with Ativan!
