Phone is dumb, I was typing clonazapam. Not climax span. I wish!

I was actually diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder shortly after dealing with the MS diagnosis. I was on so much medication that I was literally sleeping my life away. I will say that my therapist and psychiatrist are so great. I was on 12 different Bipolar drugs and I am now down to 2. They are Seroquel and Valium. I am supposed to take the Valium 3 times a day because they help with my severe leg muscle spasms, but I only take it at night. Things are so much better for me. Good luck to you.

I have been suffering from anxiety attacks and depression for my entire life.
I am now on Cymbalta and Effexor for the depression and I feel great. I have been on climax spam since 1998 and it keeps my panic attacks to a minimum.
A panic attack in the night (while you are asleep and don't know you're having one can also explain waking up all sweaty.
Since he introduced Effexor I have had not one panic attack! AND not one uncalled for crying attack.

I have been dealing with this a lot lately. It mostly happens to me at night and when I wake up in the morning. I am wondering if anyone else on here has issues with night sweats. I wake up a lot and I keep having to wipe my cheeks off and my chest. I've been itching a lot too...mostly my arms and chest and face. I'm afraid to tell my doctors about the anxiety and depression, because then they will either try to shove pills down me or once again I will be treated like it's all in my head. UGH....so I suffer in silence.
