> It was good. But I'm in the middle of such fear right now. I do remember two years ago when I first started the WB and it made me so jittery and nauseated. At least I can remember that I did get through this back then so I've got to give it a shot now. >
So, your meds are now WB, buspar and temazepam?
Is it only the WB anxiety side-effect that is causing the nausea? The other 2 seem benign at this point?> I've got to deal with the unemployment/disability thing tomorrow which is adding to my anxiety right now. I woke up crying this morning and gripped by the worst feelings. I did manage to take 7.5 mg temazepam after being up for two hours this morning once I was sure I wasn't going to be ill again. I was ill last night and again this morning. Last night, this morning and now tonight have been the really bad times.
Alii~do you mean more physically, mentally, or emotionally ill?
I know it can be difficult to dissect/discern which symptoms are worse, when nada seems particularly great.But, if your nerves/anxiety or WB are wrecking your belly, it seems like this might be addressed with a drug such as Phenergan (promethazine hydrochloride).I have taken it to control the nausea caused by migraine, but promethazine is also used as a sedative and sleep aid. Helps (or prevents) nausea, calms, and promotes good sleep. The usual dose for nausea is 25mgs, double that for sedation/sleep. I don't know exactly how it's categorized, but, I think it is as an antihistamine, not a benzo.---anyone reading who knows proper classification, please chime in!
Therefore, I don't think phenergan is habit-forming aand the generic is dirt cheap.< I had my friends come and take me to their house for the day but when I was feeling slightly better this afternoon I wanted to be brought back home. Now I am alone and low.
You've got so much going on right now, I wouldn't know which way is up, much less be visiting w/friends! That is a great sign, that you are reaching out instead of doing the total isolation-'I am nothing but a fiber on this couch, watching movies I've seen a dozen times before, "nolo mi tendere"' routine I do every time I hit the pit.

I had a nice long post I wrote to you around 7 a.m. today, but I couldn't get it to go thru. I saved it on a letter to myself, so, if ya need another windy message of support, just let me know.
I know you must be feeling terribly scattered, mentally and physically.
But you are posting and seeking, so, please press on!And please keep us updated
Onward and upward~
