I was on 2 mg Diazapam/Valum for 15 years, took me a year to wean of it..Bad anxiety 4 times so far this week. Last night and this morning was the last straw. Called the VA they told me to go to the emergency room at the local hospital nearest me. So I did, and they gave me an emergency supply of Xanax. Enough for a few days, as needed. Time to get this crap under control. I'm sick of it.
Holy cow, yeah I know the stuff can be habit forming. I don't want that. I took oxycodone for 15 years as needed, but apparently not enough to form an addiction. I just quit with zero side effects, other than my neck hurts now more than it ever has. It was still a good pain killer but, I was sick to tears of the stuff seriously backing up the ole body works.I was on 2 mg Diazapam/Valum for 15 years, took me a year to wean of it..Bad anxiety 4 times so far this week.

I've lived out west in Arizona, Nevada and Montana, and I've been in every state west of the Mississippi, and most east of it. I cut through the upper NE corner of WY every time I drive to my sister's in Montana. She moved to a little town not far from Dillon way back in 1970, and she's been there ever since. I lived out there briefly a couple times, once in 1974, I worked for my brother in law who owned a lumber yard and construction company with his dad, and then again briefly after I got out of the Air Force back in 1987. I liked it. Wouldn't mind living out there. But it would take a lot more money than I have for me to have the house, shop and size chunk of land I do here in WI out there. The home prices are through the roof. I paid $79,500 for my place here in Podunk, WI six years ago, and it would take $350,000 for me to buy something like it Montana. Needless to say, I'll stay where I'm at.I spent 35 years of my adult life in Wyoming, and we referred to it as the Rocky Mountains, and considering a historic bar on Center Street was frequented occasionally by cowboys on a spirited horse that older people remembered and artists painted it to recall it as a special part of the Rocky Mountain West.I would like to visit those places before I get too much older.
I want a road trip through all those mid west states (and others). Covid permitting.
Most Americans I think would consider Wyoming west rather than midwest, but on the eastern edge of the west. But yes, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico all on the eastern edge of the west offer some stunning scenery and a lot of history and fun things to see and do. Some of the best climate in the USA as well.
The best thing about Wyoming was the wonderful, sturdy people who celebrated helping each other out in deadly winter conditions, not to mention their love for animals and deep respect for others, whose wise ways saved lives in blinding snowstorms and search parties in wooded mountainsides if kids got lost at a summer picnic attended by many, or just being a good neighbor when the nearest house could be a couple of miles down the Platte River.
Enough nnostalgia. Hope everyone had a taste of Irish potatoes, corned beef and cabbage this week and are going to have a lovely weekend coming up.
I haven't posted in he Coffee Shop lately because I've been busy being a bad boy on other forums and didn't want it to rub off here. I can be good enough though to announce my bride and I celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary yesterday, the 18th. It's been a great ride so far. Now it's back to the forum battles. Ciao.
So glad you are controlling the situation instead of the situation controlling you, 007. Prayers up.Bad anxiety 4 times so far this week. Last night and this morning was the last straw.

I don't see it every time. I think it might have something to do with the speed at which the board can process posts, because it happens most on long comments. Maybe the websites server is getting full effecting it's processing speed, or possibly this website is sharing whatever processing speed it has with something else... IDK.I'm not seeing it, too.Why do I get the new green line moving across the top of the screen and the three little green blocks blinking when I post now? This is new.

Maybe it's an alert as 007 & Ollie both mentioned specific drugs in their posts. Not illegal or improper in any sense of course but a warning to keep it legal or some such? I don't know. I haven't seen that phenomenon either.
Yeah the anxiety rekindled long before I stopped taking the vitamin D3. I stopped mainly because one of the side effects which is stomach problems, like stomach ache, nausea and constipation, which I believe it caused all three. Once I stopped, those symptoms stopped. If you don't need it, I wouldn't recommend an extra 5,000mg a day to anyone. Not unless you've had labs done and you are actually low on it.
007 I think Mindful's post is something to consider. It is true that Vitamin D and Vitamin A can be toxic in very large amounts, but taking 2 to 4k units of Vitamin D is not toxic and does wonders for our health and immune system and, as the chart here mentions, can help with anxiety. Maybe discontinuing Vitamin D is a factor in increased anxiety attacks? I don't know but I would consider that.
I applaud you for recognizing them for what they are and not overreacting to them as too many do, but they are not at all pleasant for anybody. For omegas, the fastest way to increase those is via adding chia seeds or freshly ground flaxseed (a couple of tablespoons of whole seeds ground in a coffee grinder) to your salads or smoothies or oatmeal or whatever. Anyway hope you and your doctor figure it out soon because the attacks really suck bigtime.
The VA is pushing the vaccine, I have no idea which one, to all us veterans, but it's a HARD PASS for me.Hombre andI got our first shot of the COVID vaccine today. So far so good. Zero side effects noted. No hair growing on our toes or anything. I wavered getting it reading so many alarming things on social media, but honestly many many of our friends and kin have now had the shots with no problems whatsoever. And since we are first in line as caretaker for my 94-year-old aunt and our heart transplant friend, and our weekly 42 partners are among the extremely high risk group, so we decided we would get the shots just in case they actually work. One more defense not to infect any of the high risk people.
Congrats to you and your lovely bride of 60 years together! That is so wonderful and definitely a valuable milestone to pass. I hope you've had plenty of sunshine to help make your day a great one!I haven't posted in he Coffee Shop lately because I've been busy being a bad boy on other forums and didn't want it to rub off here.

Happy Anniversary to you and your bride Hossfly. Those milestone anniversaries are special and get more special as time passes.
