Did anyone come back from this? Of course we do!

I, and most here feared it was too late. Thus we found this site

Don't be done. Get started to reclaim the person you are, not what anxiety is telling you that you are

So normal to feel defeated with this always nagging at you

If you tried a few meds that didn't work, go try another to you find the right one. There is one that will work

If you need reassurance that this can be overcome pretty easily in the right mindset, read on and look at all the success stories

There are people here that joined last month feeling much like you

Look through their posts from then to now. It's amazing how empowered they have become. I have no doubt that 2014 is their best year ever

I marked this thread to look back at it in a month

Looking forward to using you as the next example to someone coming to this forum feeling like it may be too late

You're going to inspire!

[justme55]

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am grateful. Thank you!!

We take one day at a time and you will be this! Xxx

We all feel helpless at some point. I'm going through a hard time now and often wonder if I will feel normal again. But somewhere deep inside I know I will and you will too. Xo hugs hun

Hi justme55

I only joined the forum yesterday but if you need someone to chat to I'm here. I also had trouble with meds and I am now trying to cope without medication.

[justme55]

Hi Sal85, thanks for reaching out. What meds have you tried if you don't mind me asking? How long have you been dealing with anxiety? I have been on so many different meds the past few months my brain is swirling. I applaud you for trying the non med way. It's nice to have the encouragement found on this forum.

[alankay]

What meds for how long at what doses? Had psychotherapy?
We all have had a low point so hang in there. There is hope. Alankay

I have been on 3 different ssri in the last 6 months. The 2 that I can remember were aropax and lexapro. They both made me so sick I couldn't handle it but I have been on benzo's for the last six months and I'm and tapering myself off them now. I feel so sick and dizzy everyday but I'm trying my hardest to stop taking the benzo's. what meds did you try and what did they do to you?

Welcome Home JustMe. You are in the right place. Hang in there, get some learning under your belt and like was already said, you'll be another one of the many who do indeed come back to feeling like yourself again. Peace

[justme55]

Hi Sal, how are you today? When oh when will summer come! 18 degrees outside and feeling very trapped indoors

[justme55]

Jeez your story similar to mine. Since October 1st I have been in Gabapentin, Buspar and Citalopram not to mention Zoloft before that. Was on Xanax for years and stopped working for me. Now on clonazepam and not doing a thing for me. All the ssri's made me so dizzy and tingly. I think I am allergic. Also tried wellbuterin which made me so nervous I was pacing like a caged animal, also raised bp and gp said get off it now!! Between my gp and psych my head is spinning. Just want to feel healthy and happy again!!! Peace

[justme55]

Thanks GeneAllen, you inspire me!

[GeneAllen]

You're surely welcome. How long have you been on clonazepam? How much? Others you are now on? List those too and how much, main concerns? Symptoms?

Thank you for being here. Please stay as long as you would like, lots of help here for you.

Peace

[justme55]

Clonazepam for bout a year and half. He will only let me take 2.5 twice daily. Mirtazapine 15 mills at night. I think the clo makes my body tingle and burn which happens daily. I know I need more help with meds but everything I have tried makes me so sick. I have given all meds at least 2 to 3 months to kick in but just wind up sick! I used to love the mirtazapine on it for 2 and one half years. They switched the manufacture on me and now just not working as well as they used to.

[GeneAllen]

As I understand you. 5 mg of clonazepam correct, and 15 mg. of the other? Do you have major depression? Is that present now ( if so) or was it? Or is anxiety the main concern right now? Tell me about your losses if you feel okay about doing that please.
Peace

Hi justme55
Our stories do sound very much the same. The last few weeks have been so hard. I'm dizzy all the time and feel off balance. I also noticed about a week ago that my pupils are different sizes so I'm freaking out about that. Have you ever noticed your pupils being different in size for no reason.

[justme55]

Hi Sal, no I have never had that, sorry your going thru that. I know my eyes aren't as bright as they used to be. Can you shot off a call to your doc tomorrow and ask about your eyes? Im sorry you are having a hard time. My depression has really reared it's ugly head today......Peace
I feel like im fighting a battle of loneliness and boredom and it's winning!!

How are your eyes today Sal? hope your feeling better

[sal85]

Thanks for asking justme55. I went to see the doctor yesterday and he is sending me to get my eyes checked. He also wants me to get some blood test to see if anything else can be causing my lightheadedness. How are you feeling today?
