			<description><![CDATA[I have bad social and situational anxiety, the worst of which usually happens at the end of my shift when I’m crashing off my vyv@nse. At my worst I can feel myself almost trembling and like a quavering in my voice. A V@lium will always get me right but I’m trying not to be too reliant on them. Does anyone have any tips on smoothing the comedown and helping with the anxiety. Some things that have helped me are limiting vaping and smoking while I’m on it, eating a balanced meal before taking it so the dose is more consistent, hydration. I also find that when I’m feeling jittery I flex my thigh and calf muscles as hard as I can for a few seconds and repeat, it helps give an outlet to relieve the tension. Anyone have any good tips for me on helping with @mphetamine comedown or anxiety? Thanks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I wanted to share some experiences with CBD for anxiety relief, and would be curious to hear what people have thought. I hope that this will be helpful to someone.<br />
<br />
First off, I don't currently use it since I moved and the only places I can find aren't workable for me (see below!).<br />
In my old (and I hope, future) location it was easy to find in doses of 10-25 mg. Although the brand of 25 that I could find had another cannabinoids. Also I'm really sensitive to all of them, 25mg is my personal ceiling (the extra ingredient is liable to make my anxiety worse), and it's never happened often. If I find it here, it's in really high doses. I'm not sure if that's because it's less popular or to local availability.<br />
<br />
<br />
On the other hand it was a good adjunct to other treatments and offered me some relief from some of my fears around some commonplace things.  I'm not sure whether it has muscle-relaxant effects (I'm sorry! I should have looked!) but that seems to be the main source of relief.  <br />
<br />
YMMV but some side effects were: brain fog, difficulty waking up and some effects on my short term memory, particularly after it started taking effect. And of course that varies with dose.<br />
<br />
Sorry. This is all badly put.  If you've given CBD a try, I hope it's been helpful.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi all,<br />
I am relatively new to this forum, but I'm an old timer. I've been lurking and discovering the good, the bad and the ugly since 1999.  I have found that sites like this should be visited at least once every 2 days even if just to say howdy. But when you make a discovery and you're hesitant to share cause you think you are onto a good thing, you are probably wrong.<br />
All I ever wanted out of the internet is to find where the nearest Burger King is, and a person who speaks to us via email only.   Then he lasts longer, usually.<br />
I used to have some terrific fellows in the past, and when I didn't want them,I asked for their permission to pass along their email addy.<br />
We would get a price list and choose from there.<br />
Oh but I did find the most amazing online companies, usually from Spain, that would sell whatever you wanted with no qualms. I had a group, Pharmagroup I think, that would sell me boxes of 60 or 90 mg of pure codeine. It was so cheap too! /<br />
Sorry for going on, I am having issues locating T3, the most common pain killer of all. get a brokerage<br />
Then there's this other site who cannot let me on because I cannot pay their fee of at least 10 dollars because I am not allowed (company related) to get a brokerage account for the purpose of trading , buying or selling btcn.  I offered  to send a &#36;10 bill if it would please the court, but nothing. And they claim to be the descendants of DB (drugbuyers for those young ones whho never knew that site).<br />
I am here to share but IO want to folllow your rules, that is the top priority. Okay, I wish you all a wonderful evening.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I won't go into insane detail but I intermittently deal with Chronic stress and Chronic Fatigue about 3-4 times a year. It is usually brought on by sickness and then its like after the sickness wears off (5-10 days), I'm left completely wiped. I'm on day 18 now and it started out with the sniffles. My anxiety is up so I cant sleep, I cant think, I have a hard time finding energy to perform my physically demanding job. <br />
<br />
I prefer to live life without crutches or anything that will get ahold of me as far as medz go. But it is these seasons of extreme fatigue and stress that causes me to look for something to knock me out so I can finally relax and sleep, or I look for something that will pull me through it. <br />
<br />
My question is, what, if any helpful solutions has anyone found to break the cycle or stress and fatigue(coupled with anxiety), so that you can actually truly recover. I'm currently on zero medz but am at the point of needing something to help me physically, emotionally and mentally relax. Need your input.<br />
<br />
Thanks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There will prob be a lot of questions but in an effort to not write a novel I will give the spark notes version.<br />
<br />
I went w my GF to Hawaii for vacation. Within 12hrs of touching down, I was in the ER for 7-9 days. <br />
I was diagnosed with E-coli poisoning, Sepsis, and Noro Virus. It was the closest thing to a living hell I could imagine. <br />
<br />
While in the hospital they found my Ejection Fraction rate (I may have that backward) the amount of blood your heart is able to pump. I was as low as 30% while sick and climbed back up to 35-37% right now. <br />
<br />
Just had an angiogram last Monday. I have to go in this am for my consult with the surgeon to find out when they are going to perform open heart surgery. My guess is ASAP so sometime this week.<br />
<br />
They found 5-6 blockages up to 90% blockage. I know this is urgent and I thought they'd prob get me in last week after I came out of my Angiogram the way it sounded. <br />
<br />
I guess they remove arteries from other places in my body to use in my heart. If it's anything like the pain I felt for a week after they did the angiogram since they go in through an artery, well then I'm freaking out. <br />
<br />
Mind you I'm a 38 year old male in fantastic shape on the outside. Single-digit body fat percentages, train 2-3x per day including cardio. Anyone who has looked at me has pretty much said "This can't be yours" referring to the testing results but it most definitely is. <br />
<br />
Two things I wanted to convey:<br />
Don't neglect your health &amp; do blood work.  You need to know what's going on. If I hadn't gotten food poisoning id prob never have known any of this and would be dead within 2 years max.<br />
<br />
I'm freaking out. I know the recovery time is going to be 6-8 weeks if all goes well. <br />
I own a business and cant be out of work that long even though I know I have no choice. Luckily I have a kick ass staff I can count on to keep things going. However, Im freaking out that I'm going to be stuck on my back for up to 2 months. The gym is my zen-happy place. I don't know what Im going to do. <br />
Thank God I have an amazing GF who has been a lifesaver and stuck by my side for every inch of this. <br />
<br />
Thank you for listening to my rant. Please know you are not invincible. Do your blood work and make sure you know whats going on inside your body. Be proactive not reactive to live the longest and highest quality of life possible.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is one certain medication that makes me feel like the productive, clear thinking and motivated individual I would recon myself ought to be. However, this medication is a p@inkiller. Tramad@l to be exact. I have tried SSRIs, SNRIs, benz@s, supplements, PKs, and all of them have some sort of motivating effect, for a while. Then it seems by body gets used to them and I go back to my unmotivated malaised self. However, tram, for whatever reason, helps my motivation, mood and energy. I even feel more creative. <br />
The long short: I don’t really care for the other effects it has and since it is a PK, I don’t wanna take it for my mood.<br />
Why the heck does this fairly weak PK have such a profound effect on my motivation, and is there something out there like it(thats not a pk) that would target the part of me that struggles with motivation/malaise? Maybe there is and I haven't found it yet?<br />
I def have GAD from PTS(d) events from my 20s. My shrink and I have determined that. But I don’t care for the cloudiness daily benz@ use gives me. Just wanna feel motivated to do my daily responsibilities. <br />
(Also you can tell by the scrambled post that I may have some ADHD as well?)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about talking to my Dr. to find an effective medication for my Social Anxiety since I need to talk to people all day in order to make money. Didn't know what the consensus is on Clonazepam. I am required to do both physical AND social sales during the work day. Cannot be zonked or out of character. Just smooth and simple me.<br />
What is the common feedback people have for the way Clon makes people feel compared to other Benzos?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've had Social Anxiety as long as I can remember and Generalized Anxiety(GAD) since my early twenties that was brought on by a traumatic situation. Its been difficult but also has built a lot of character in me. Having to learn to cope with the physical and mental effects of it(anxiety) without any medical intervention has been hard, but makes the good days that much gooder. <img src="https://www.ioplist.org/images/smilies/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_1" /> <br />
There are times it gets bad enough that I have to implement measures to cope with it, and one "natural" resource has been a few supplements. One of the best for my GAD is Ashwaganda twice a day. Its not an active supplement, just kind of a passive one. Kinda like, you don't realize its working until later when you realize that you have been less anxious throughout the day. Another one that helped me for several weeks was St. Johns Wort. I took it alongside the Ashwaganda and it seemed to calm the speeding internal voice that tends to overthink everything. Gave me a bit of relief from the stress of that internal voice telling me I had 100 things to do and only 2 hours to do them. Instead of a fury of bees in my mind, it was just like a calm partly cloudy day with ducks in a row. Maybe that's where that saying comes from.<br />
The last thing I like to use is a supplement called "Sleep &amp; Relax". Not sure if I can post the brand so I won't as of yet. It really helps me to calm down before bedtime so I can actually fall asleep instead of lay in bed thinking about a million things. All of these things are over the counter at the health foods store in my area.<br />
These are just a few supplements that help me cope with my GAD if I'm having a bit of a difficult time. There are certainly times where it gets beyond this and medical intervention may be necessary. But as much as I am able, I prefer to stay below that threshold.<br />
Maybe next I'll mention some things that I do proactively to help my anxiety from blowing through the roof.<br />
Hope this helps someone! Have a blessed day!]]></description>
