anxiety and meds

[beez]

Hello,
I'll try to make this short. Was taking wellbutrin for anxiety. 150mg for 6 weeks 300mg for 1 month. With the 300mg my anxiety was CRAZY. Dr weaned me off, 2 days at 150 and 2 days at 75. The next day i started 25 mg of Zoloft. Took it for 6 days and my anxiety just got worse. Dr said up it to 50mg even tho i wasnt feeling well. I stopped it. Was starting a new job and just couldnt chance it. Its been 3 days with no meds and i still feel the same and now i have bathroom issues, i cant stop. My question is..Are the meds still in my system? Is that why i still feel this way? Any input would be helpful. Thanks for listening..

Yes it takes at least 2 weeksfor it to totally get out. I was on it to and those med made me worse. I can't take any of those meds.

Sorry I did not see you posted. What I try and do is stay busy. Even if it is house work a walk out side, listening to my favorite songs etc. I have anxiety and panic attacks. Not depression. So I know even though it gets the best of me sometime I can get through it:) I try and stay positive and when having an attack I stay calmer now because I know it will pass. My only struggle is worry. I worry about everything:( but when I start I get up and try to occupy my mind with doing something. If it gets real bad I take my klonopan and that helps calm me down. It's a struggle but I don't quit! I work and that helps too because I am not stuck at home 7 days a week. I make myself get up on my days off and get a shower, get dressed, put on make up etc even if I am not going anywhere. I find that doing that makes me feel better about myself then sitting around in my pj's all day. I will turn on music real loud and clean or sew and just sing real loud and dance too. Lol. Anything to get my mind to focus on something else:)

That sounds like a really great way to tackle this bull****. I am done with meds. I will be practicing all of your great ideas. Thank you and I wish you well!:)
