In reply to How long for Rem to help anxiety?, posted by ravenstorm on April 20, 2004, at 20:43:33
hi raven...
it was week three-four when the weight gain hit. and it hits very quickly and suddenly! i began to feel sluggish after that point...as far as treatment for anxiety? i actually found myself getting angry more often and had difficulty controlling my outbursts. i didn't notice any of my agitations/depression/anxiety improve over the seven weeks. i am almost finishing weaning off and this past week, i've not felt better than i do now in a long time. another friend of mine who is at the three week mark now, whom had previously said "well, if it works...what's the problem with gaining a bit of weight?", just called me yesterday to apologize. she told me that in a matter of days (the past three), she'd put on five pounds and was seriously concerned. it seems to gain around the middle/thighs and hip area, so it's very noticable. anyway, she also experienced some anger, though great sleeps. she has started to wean herself off...
i just don't know what to tell you. i'm disappointed in yet another ad...but this one was by far the worst (with the exception of those that decreased the ability to orgasm ;) today i actually went for a one hour walk with my dogs! and i'm thinking i may also mow the lawn...at least i have some motivation/energy now.
