the book "The Oppositional Defiant Child". Actually, there are even more extreme tactics to use from the book, but you followed the suggestions to the letter even if you never read the book. Good for you and glad it worked!

Until you can see your doctor, try this yoga technique
When you start feeling these symptoms, get up from your desk and go sit somewhere else (yes, I know, it takes away from work time but it is worth it). Just sit there for a couple of seconds, relaxing as well as you can, and then start breathing in this pattern: Take in a deep breath, as deep as you can, counting as you go. Let's say you count to ten. Then hold the breath for ten seconds, breathe out for ten seconds, then hold your breath out for ten seconds. Breathe normally a couple of times, then repeat the process. While you are doing the deep breathing, concentrate on the counting. Try to push everything else out of your mind. Nothing matters except the breathing and the counting.
After three or four repetitions, you should be feeling calmer. It will take less than five minutes, it is completely natural, and hopefully it will help. I use it myself when I feel anxiety, and I taught it to my son when he was young (right after he started school).
BTW, your symptoms could be anxiety, or they could be adult-onset ADD. You might want to check into that as well. I have a friend who has adult-onset ADD, and when she discovered that was what she had, it was like a light bulb went off over her head. It explained so many things in her life that she hadn't understood before. Not saying that's what you have, but might as well consider as many alternatives as possible.
Good luck to you. I have been in that kind of high-pressure work situation and I darned near had a nervous breakdown. I hope you can find another work situation soon.
Warning. Technique inside.
He would lay down, grab is nuts in his mouth and kick his leg (like he was scratching) until the deed was done. How he first figured this out, who knows!!! LOL
When my brother was in therapy, he used that technique.
Never would use the word "you" in a sentence when discussing an issue and constantly repeating back to us what we said in order to validate that we were heard. Our entire family hated it, especially because his issues were HIS issues. Beating three wives, always out-of-control, and demanding emotional support whenever he made repeatedly stupid decisions. He just couldn't repair the huge damage he had done by trying that one on us. (And he only tried briefly.)
It's not a bad technique. It's actually quite nice to be civilized that way. But whenever someone mentions it, I'm reminded of my brother who had hurt so many of his family members, emotionally and physically, and then couldn't figure out why the technique his therapist taught him didn't work like a magic charm. He never did figure out that the trust was gone from every relationship in his life.
Sorry! That was off-topic. It just stirred up some unpleasant memories.
My VET was the one who recommended it!
Otherwise, animal control takes the dog to the pound where it will surely be DESTROYED for being a nuisance animal barking all the time.

The lady I subcontract for recommended it. I've been a lurker for about eight months and have posted to a few threads.
If she comes recommended, $5/hr is good. That's the

Corn starch isn't really recommended
for yeast because it can actually feed yeast.
Yes. My stylist said the doctor recommended that if SM
the patches did not work for her. He told her that within three months with Chantix the smoking is gone forever. I know we have a lot of pet lovers on this board, myself one of the most enhusiastic. These poor pets are also very susceptible to second-hand smoke. It penetrates the fur into the skin and they often pay the consequences with cancer and lung/heart problems.
Sorry - meant why they recommended for her child. nm

The recommended starting dosage for adults is 25 mg (sm)
3 to 4 x daily with a maximum of 150 mg daily. The medication is prescribed for depression, but with alot of those antidepressants, they are also prescribed for their sedative effect, and thus also prescribed for insomnia. Pamelor has been around a long time, and in my last 10 years of transcribing, don't recall any physician prescribing it as a sleep aid. The usual standard now seems to be trazodone, starting dose 50, but may increase in increments of 50 mg up a max of 300. I am not questioning your doctor's reasoning for prescribing this, I just find it unusual. I would not be concerned about increasing the dose you are taking. Most medications, in order to cause deliterious and life-threating potential, need to be taken 30x the normal prescribing dose. Hope you feel better.
Mylanta - our doctor's nurse recommended (sm)
You can dab it on the spots. Also what works for us - depends on her age (you may have said, I missed it) is Campho-Phenique - it is not made for that necessarily and doesn't taste great but works well to take the sting out of any kind of mouth sores.
That Bach stuff is highly recommended...
for horses as well! They sell it in almost every tack store and catalog I can think of--I never knew it was for people too! What a riot!
See link inside--my physician's office recommended this.

We had to do it twice, but it does work.
Someone on main board I think, recommended angel food network, which (sm)
I have been familiar with in the past. You might want to check that out as a way to save a lot of money on your food bill.
KeraCare from salons is a recommended one, as is the Jason itchy scalp shampoo from health food
