Taking your medications prescribed for you with Dysautonomia

Speaking from my end of my personal experience, I know there is a way to avoid the side effects on medications you take. People with Dysautonomia fear the side effects. Who wouldn't!? You know that when a doctor prescribes a medication for you, the first thing you look for are the side effects. Once you start reading "ALL" the side effects it gives you, then you don't want to take them because of fear of having it, or experienced the side effects from another medication and your head starts on it's little journey of  "Medication Phobia".

Let me try and help a little bit with that issue and, hopefully ease your way of thinking about medications. You know you need to take your medications to get better and move on with life. Easier said then done huh!? Well, all I can say is "You can do it!!" : ) The best way to avoid the side effects is to take smaller amounts at a time. Thing about it? The smaller the dose, the less side effects. After all your body is a quart low of fluids. You need to work with your body to be able to take your medications without any fear. If your taking smaller amounts, then your body will not get that full force of panic, anxiety, phobia, etc. Who the heck wants to have a panic attack!? That is scary in itself and when you experience that with medications then, you have that fear of "Medication Phobia".

Here is an examples for you: Your doctor might prescribe to you Lexapro. Your doctor wants to start you off at 10mg. Ok. Now here is the trick. You can cut the pill in half and take .5mg of Lexapro in the am and then take the other half of the .5mg of Lexapro at night. You need to give your body a couple of weeks to adjust to the medication.

See how that works for you. To remind you, everybody's body is different. The reason's why I  know this is from personal experience. Your very welcome to discuss this with me through here or, on a more personal level send me an e-mail at : miss.vivian.roberson@gmail.com

Dysautonomia and Smoking horrible combo for ANS System

It's been a long while since I have put up a blog. Like I said before in my other blogs that, it does take some time to write about it because I too go through it and, so does my son. I am able to share our experiences with Dysautonomia and, help out others who need the help and need the education on what happens to someone with, Dysautonomia. I also get my knowledge through educated doctor's from Europe who know this disease, very well. I have also read up on allot of other people who have Dysautonomia and read their stories on, their Blogs. To you all, my heart is with you and, if I can shed some light on you in some way, I will do my best. I know some are going to write a Book. Much blessing  to you as well on helping those understand about their disease that is very frightening when, most doctor's here in America have not researched it or learned it in,  medical school. My primary care doctor is one person who is honest and up front and did say that, he never learned ...

Piracetam (Nootropil) used for Dysautonomia in other countries

Well, I did say in my past blogs that I will find the medication that some from other countries use for, "Dysautonomia". I am not sure if it is the cure but,I am learning from the Doctor who is teaching me about Dysautonomia that it works and, from other resources in, other countries. I also have relatives in Europe so, I had an Aunt do some research for me recently and, speak to their medical field in their area. According to her, "Nootropil" is what they use for "Dysautonomia" and that you need a prescription for it. After hearing that I did, more research. I searched the internet and found Nootropil here in the, USA. We call it "Piracetam-Nootropil". When I looked up what we used it for I was very surprised to what, I read. It was not used for Dysautonomia but, for other things and other medical issues. We call it the anti-aging "Brain Drug". I read an ad that said: "Wake up your brain! - With Piracetam (Nootropil)" ...
