Hello,
First off my name is Todd. I am 29 and live in KY.
My story.
Now that I think of it, ive had anxiety tendencies since I was really young. But didnt develop full bloom until this past december. I have kidney stone problems ever since I was 17. Ive had about 14 sergeries since 1998. I had been on loracet 10's since 1999. Developed a addiction, and from about 1999 till Oct. of 06 I took at least 3 (most of the time around 5) loracet 10's a day. My wife sat me down last year and said she wasnt going to watch me die and said she was leaving if I didnt get help or stop!!!!! I quit righ then cold turkey, no weining. Ever since then (Dec. of 06) my anxiety has been HUGE!!! At first I couldnt drive, stayed in the bedroom, going to work or out with friends was hard, almost impossible. I tried to deal with it but I couldnt. Its been a TOUGH road, between quiting pain pills and the anxiety "flaring" up!!! I didnt know if I would make it and keep my wife, cause I am still driving her crazy. I finally went to the DR and she put me on zoloft. :shock: Hated it made my anxiety worse . And yes I was on it for about 2 months, so it shouldve been working. Now she has me on cymbalta and its working pretty darn good. A few annoying side effects but tolerable. She also gave me Ativan for those rough times and to help sleep. Its ALOT better than it was 7 months ago.
I have lots of questions, and hope to help a few along my journey here.
Will anxiety go away like it came???? I kindof came on fast and hard!
More later!! :D
