Now, now....truly, we are losing focus, here. It matters not who first spoketh the word - - what is important is the fact that the word has been said. A couple of times. :lol:

True dat--I'm the opposite though...on the occasion that I utter such a word I like to take credit fer it! :lol:B):P

"woodie"--haven't heard THAT one in a while :D:lol:

Busted again!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

POOP WEEDSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (new word for "eureka!")

<slapping forehead>

Sillies.........you won't believe this!

*warning - extremely non-sillie post to follow*

and, since I clearly have no secrets, I"ll just share it here. :lol:

well, as many of you know, I"ve been taking Wellbutrin since the first or second week of june. And, it's generic. GENERIC WELLBUTRIN CAN BE EVIL..........I've KNOWN this - there's even a thread on the forum about this, to which I contributed a while back. but, I figured since I was so healthy, and gluten-free, and not quite sure whether I'd ever taken it before......I began to use this drug.

Well, oh my gawd. :o AT first I didn't notice anything but.....a slight subdued-ness and - David noticed changes in me - I was not nearly as fun. Then, the horrible crash happened the last weekend in June, and so - one's grief and sorrow obliterates everything else, naturally, hard to tell where grief ends and depression begins. Then, the breakup - almost two weeks ago, which has fueled an intense anger in me. :angry:

But..........I had been noticing something within me, becoming increasingly more awful and horrifying.

I increased my Wellbutrin about two weeks ago........and the feelings I have been having were NOT just sadness/grief/anger - those feelings are normal and appropriate during this time. But something savagely terrifying was creeping into me and.....it was a state of being taht was alarmingly familiar to me.

what I noticed a few days ago is that I have been carrying within me something VERY similar to the acute dread/panic/horror and terror that I had for nearly four months in the Siege of Terror of 2004 (an absolutely horrifying experience some of you will recall hearing about).

Anywho, this sick dread would hit me particularly hard late morning-mid afternoon every single day (I take the pills morning and early afternoon and increased two weeks ago - ZOIGS). Sooooooo many thoughts of suicide, excruciating angst, heart pounding, severe panic, but......worst of all was the feeling of terrible foreboding, doom, TERROR and......a suicidal dread that I just can't describe. And - my weeping was not getting any better and my mom said something to me the other day, as I was weeping at her house (the terror is always at its absolute WORST in teh afternoons - quite often necessitating a tranquilizer). She said that I reminded her a bit of when I had to live there for nearly four months in original Siege of Terror............

and oh my God, it hit me. Well - that's not exactly true.

I came home and was just sobbing in prayer.........telling God - - I can't carry this weight any more....this is abnormal.........HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME etc. and.......got in the shower and then prayed some more. And suddenly - - a thought flashed thorugh my head - - "Wellbutrin - get off of it"

:o:o:o

so guess what, sillies. today is day two of no Wellbutrin (I am goign to wean carefully but wanted to see what NO wellbutrin would do) and GUESS WHAT - there is NO TERROR, NO PANIC, NO WEEPING, NO SUICIDAL DREAD - - - NONE of the horrible stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay....sorry this is so long and thanks for listening but........this is a major breakthrough, I think!!!!!!!!!! I no longer feel taht my WHOLE LIFE IS OVER, I no longer cry ALL DAY LONG, I no longer feel COMPLETE and UTTER BLEAK hopelessness about my future.

:):):)

Precious sillies, I KNOW your prayers and thoughts have helped carry me through this and reach this place.

:wub:

I know there will still be hard days.......no doubt. But............I think they will be manageable hard days. I will figure out what to do meds-wise at a later time.....but am considering joining the gym again just to REALLY get the endorphins going.

:)

there's my update!!!! sorry it's so long - gads

Susie, that is wonderful news.

DingoGirl Enthusiast
WELL GOOD FOR YOU SUSIE........IF YOU DON'T CARE IT'S ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB.......... :lol: I'LL JUST SPREAD IT A LITTLE FARTHER.

moo-hoo-hooo-hooo ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why not? :lol: He showed his true coloUrs.......but that's all I'll say on that. :( Still sad, angry, gobsmacked with confusion, anger, all of it........ *I* saw things earlier, and ignored.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: Pharking Jekyll and Hyde, that one. :angry: and I HAD BEEN WARNED............................... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Now, now....truly, we are losing focus, here. It matters not who first spoketh the word - - what is important is the fact that the word has been said. A couple of times. :lol:

:lol: indeed. Or, dozens of times, even.

Hee--did ya all notice how fast PeOter showed up after Em's peOnis post???? :lol: Are you reading undercover again, PeOter???

:lol: :lol: aaaaaaaaaand evidently he was!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Susie, I am SO SO SO glad to hear this!!! And I have to tell you, it is not dissimilar to what I went through, when I decided to go off the Prozac... it was not helping me, it was nearly killing me!!! Luckily, I had not been on it very long.

Speaking of which... yeah... keep an eye on how quickly you go off it.

I'm still dealing with the nausea, dizziness, brain shivers. Rash #2 is fading away, and I'm hoping there won't be a round 3. I've been having a hideous time not sleeping- muscle twitches, shuddering, restless legs. My doc thinks that is all more likely to do with anxiety than the Effexor withdrawals, so I'm like, Greeaaat.

I know these drugs can help a LOT... the Effexor helped me for years... but sometimes I hate them, too. Sigh...

Also, got your pm, will get back to you tonight!!! I've got to do one other thing and then tear myself away from the gosh darn computer so I can feed the kids. :ph34r:

Soozle.........awesome epiphany!!!!!! :D To be able to break through all that despair just long enough to see the answer is no easy feat. It takes a very strong woman to accomplish that.

"Recommended Usage:

Take 1 capsule with any meal containing gluten or casein. More may be taken if needed. This product works best when used in combination with Digest or Digest Gold."

:lol: Goosey does that from time to time. hee-larry-us.

Lisa - strong? :( I don't know about that.

when you realize that.......your dream is gone..........the person you THOUGHT you had is not only instantly yanked from your life under inconceivable circumstances but - turns into someone else (that's all I"ll say here)....the one from whom you were inseparable - gone......the love, fun, "security," perceived life together.........all gone.......... it's still gonna take me quite a bit of time to get over this one. (if any of you wants the whole story I can email it)

:(

:(

:(

but - at least I feel stronger, more capable of dealing with this, and more "normal" now. I"m just pretty certain I"ll never date again.....got bets on this, actually.

Sarah!!!!!!!!!! awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Come on, you know you need a fun-filled weekend at the beach with gluten free food.....

gawd I love our pOeter............

Was just looking at Jess's scientific post on various diets. it was.........very scientific. :blink: I caught parts of it. But - thought I"d tell you all a new term we coined last night, since I"ve lost about 12 pounds from current grief:

miserexia: unintentional weight loss from horrible pain

:lol:

Can hardly eat. Today had:

one peach w/ a bit of half-and-half (peaches and cream) for breakfast

two hard-boiled eggs

four Trader Joe's mini - - and I do mean mini (about 1.5 inches each) tacos.

:blink:

a typical day. Occasionally a pre-made frozen entree (very healthy!) at lunch.

I think I might be malnourished, part of the problem. :unsure:

Ahhhhh :rolleyes:, I have some takers already and looking for a full house. (did I mention that it's free). Yup, the OBX of North Carolina. It stands for Outer Body eXperience. B)

Invitation extends to all Sillies. Let me know and I'll fill you in.

Perhaps by October our staffing issues will have sorted out. We have two people in training, but at the moment at least one of us must be in the store at all times. We are training two people at the moment, so there is hope.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
