Re: Great post, Michele!       04/11/06 08:31 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan Zoloft helps with the depression, its actually an anti-depressant. I take 100mg every day. I think you would benefit from an anti depressant. I actually liked the Lexapro the best but Zoloft seems to be safer if I decide to get pregnant again. Then, I have Xanax, its an anti anxiety medication. This I take only when needed. I needed a LOT when I lost the twins but now I only take it a few times a week. It calms everything down and sort of turns off my brain, it can make you very sleepy so until you've taken it a few times, I wouldn't suggest taking it at work. Then, I have Vicodin on hand for the pain. Its a very powerful opiate pain medication. Some people become addicted to it if you abuse it. I've taken it on and off for several years and I only take it when I NEED it. Tramadol is a good pain medication, its not as addictive, its not an opiate based, its actually a tylenol based drug and helps with the pain without the high risk of addiction. Its not strong enough for me some days but I have used it in the past. Sometimes I will go a week or two without any Vicodin then sometimes I have to take several in a day. I'm now also on two different RA medications, Placquenil and Sulfazine (sp?) and they have me taking Indomethacin for the swelling, its like super charged Motrin but hasn't seemed to upset my tummy like the OTC nsaid medications and it helps a bit with the swelling. I also take Miralax, Zelnorm once in a while, Donnatol as needed, prenatals, vit b-6, b-12, vit E and a malic formula for the fibro. I also take Ambien to sleep and Zanaflex at night which is a muscle relaxer for the fibro. Ugh, I think I got them all. WAY too many drugs but right now, its what I need. I hope to taper off a lot of them over the summer if I decide to try and get pregnant again. But, I have to wait for the RA to get under control. I actually have to have weekly blood test done right now because of the RA meds to be sure my CBC count doesn't drop! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
