Prozac20 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Has anyone tried Himalayan salts? Adding to the water you drink .? I read that it contains lots of minerals and gives you energy but I'm not sure if that would increase anxiety . Xanax PRN ( 1/2 of .25mg approximately 2-3 a month when needed ) since May 2015 In April 2016 started birth control and in my opinion it triggered anxiety for almost a week straight and took 1/2 .25mg Xanax everyday for that week ( never had taken that many in a row before ) Saw the family MD and gave me Prozac 20 mg. took it for 6 days and could not handle the side effects and had to stop working Went back to the dr on the 7 day and told me to stop CT . I told him that I was scared to stop so suddenly so he gave me 10mg to take to see if the side effects decreased Took the 10mg that night and the next day felt so much worse . After that did take anything any more except and antibiotic due to UTI It's been almost 7 weeks and I have a lot of weakness ( comes and goes) anxiety , cortisol urges at night and worse in the morning which usually lessens throughout the day , tinnitus , heavy leg feeling , fatigue and burning skin mostly my left arm, face and neck mainly when I fee the cortisol surges .

Moderator Emeritus KarenB Posted August 29, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 29, 2016 We use them on our food, both in preparation and in the salt-grinder at the table.

Effexor 150mg. 2015 Begin using info at SurvivingAntidepressants. Cut 10% - bad w/d 2 months, held 1 month. Micro-tapering: four weekly 0.4% cuts, hold 4 weeks (struggling with symptoms). 8 month hold. 2017 Micro-tapering: four weekly 1% cuts, hold 4 weeks (symptoms almost non-existent). 2020 Still micro-tapering.
