Hi windancer.
I had a TAH-BSO and a prolapsed rectum, so constipation is awful. Drink lots water, every couple wks 2 Dulcolax w/ plenty water and attach yourself to your toilet for a day, but works. Will have surgery soon.
Thing is; what do you think is happening to all the medicine you just keep putting in and it doesn't come out????????????
I've always had good control of anxiety on Eff-XR, the only drug that has helped besides a benzo. Lately tho', having breakthrough anxiety. Phillipa couldn't have said it better than you - anxiety that is all internalized so that I am frozen.
I have really had no bad side effects w/ Eff-XR, except maybe some fatigue and memory probs.
Today saw P and ditched Klonopin, started Xanax .3 a day. Klonopin was like taking sugar pill.
Guilt of course accompanies my 3 Xanax a day; if I feel the need to raise; I won't, I'll do something different, because I've been down that road before.
Any opinion about skipping a dose here and there if you are not a regular 'going to the john type' person???????? cf
