I had my appointment, and it was agreed, that since the anxiety is calming, I will hold off. I was told i just need to make one phone call and celexa can be called into the pharmacy for me. For now, I am gonna wait. I HATE adding new pills. I have enough to swallow right now.

I find this also quite surprising. Marinol, like Nabilone (Cesamet) that I take has no 'street value', due to it's cost and the fact that it's nowhere near the level of 'euphoria' produced by smoking the plant (both the above are lab-made THC, as you may already know).

Sounds like a real 'winner' who voted that one out, seriously. :cool: I find Cesamet helps with pain where other options, including some ADs, didn't at all.

With that said though, I don't find Cesamet as effective as treating said pain than going for the real stuff.. my pain doctor also never discourages that, other than he doesn't want to hear about anyone smoking anything.

Shame my insurance doesn't cover Sativex, because I would have liked to try it to find out if it's results were better than the pill form.

Anyone notice increase in perspiration with Prozac? I started 10mg approx 3 weeks ago. Ive been sweatier then usual day & night. Curious.

Not me...I loves my 40mg. :eek: :D

I have heard that some have that, though, I think it goes away, when your body geys used to it.

Stopping the light dose of Prozac as of today because as I type this, my sweatpants are soaked with sweat. I know being a paraplegic that sitting still and not relieving pressure off your bottom can do it but I havent changed a thing other then Prozac. This is approx day 30. We'll see a month from now if it persists. Pitty because Prozac does seem to brighten mood a smidge.

I edited this to keep it to the point.

Sorry to hear that, Eddie. Maybe try another AD..:hug:

Well I took the Prozac for 1 month then started having sweaty episodes early afternoon. Stopped the Prozac 4 months ago and I'm still getting the sweats. They go away if I get out of wheelchair which could mean they're pressure related but somethings telling me my bowels may be playing a part. I'll get a colonoscopy. Anyway I enjoyed the Prozac (made me a believer) plus it could possibly prevent MS lesions so back on P I go. I've been moody lately and i'm usually an easy going guy. CCSVI frustrates me because nobody in my area is familiar or even heard of it till I started spreading the word and if something as simple as a narrowed vein is taking my feeling away, boy does that bother me. I'll get it figured out but something so simple frustrates me! Prozac my friend, here I come. Like I told my dr, a happy patient is a good patient :)

The only one of the above which I can take is Klonopin. I take a very low dose, 3/4 of a .5 pill per day, broken into three parts usually. If very anxious or spastic I take another l/4,
making it a total of .5 a day. I was on a dose three times that to start, many years ago,
but brought it down. I had bad reactions to all of the other drugs mentioned (that is, the ones I actually tried). Prozac put me into extreme spasticity and sweat after one pill. Xanax--I was in clinical trials for that, and became semi-paralyzed after 2 small pills. My sensitivity is due, for the most part, because I have Porphyria, and no one knows for sure where the porph blends into the MS. All one ball of neuro reaction, but
spasticity and pain are my worst symptoms rather than, usually, paralysis. I HAVE had
periods of very clumsy hand use and eyes "double" and blind spot but those things are not present now. My clumsy feet is mostly due to neuropathy which is permanent in the feet, and caused me to fall down stairs and break my knee.

What worked for me yesterday when my anxiety was at a roaring peak with spasticity
was acupuncture. This is too expensive for use all the time, but it really worked. I had a whole day and a half not depressed or anxious, even though big problems are still around. Thank God for that and may it beocme a more common remedy--no side effects!
