If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
Thank you for pinging for me. Keep the prayers going. I want to use this opportunity to tell each of you how much I appreciate it.
I allowed the doctor to tell me that I had situational/emotional related anxiety and depression and put me on Lexapro(anti-depression), Xanax (anti-anxiety), and Ambien (sleep med) all psychiatric meds that did nothing but make the sleep anxiety even worse. But I KNEW that my head throbbed and pounded whenever I laid down and when I told the doctor, he increased my dosage of the Lexapro and Ambien and added Wellbutrin (another anti-deprepressant).
Instead of getting better, I progressively got worse until I had to come home from work because I literally could not function and was beginning to have suicidal thoughts. After the 5th trip to the doctor for the same symptoms (headaches, tenseness, no sleep) the doc ordered a CAT scan that revealed what I knew all along, that I am NOT a psychiatric case and that I have real physical problems and the symptoms are real and not imagined.
As a personal note, I want to ask everyone to constantly question the doctors' diagnosis and listen to your body so that you can avoid the personal hell I have been going through.
I am now de-toxing from the psych meds and Satan has been working hard on me to steal my joy for life and the LORD and any hope for a recovery. Tonight I am going to resist the temptation to take the Ambien even if I lose my job (just been there a few weeks). Please pray hard that I find the peace and joy and hope that the medications and the evil one has stolen from me and that I can get up and fonction tomorrow at work.
Please ping your list agian. I finally got a good 8 hours sleep last night after 2 1/2 days on nearly none. I was in terrible shape and ended up having to take the Ambien to save my sanity.
Praise G_d for the sleep I got and pray that I get more tonight.
I have an appointment at a sleep study clinic next Wednesday so they can see if they can figure out what is wrong.
