Anxiety making make sick

[chrisjrtcb]

I had a couple of really bad panic attacks out of the blue so I went to my doctor and he prescribed me fluoxetine and lorazepam. I've also had 1 session with a therapist. This is all new to me and it's really affecting the quality of my life. I'm feeling constant anxiety 24-7. I'm waking up every morning very nauseous and vomiting and dry heaving throughout the day. The only thing that seems to help is when I take my 1mg lorazepam. I've been taking 20mg fluoxetine every morning for the last 8 days. Anybody have similar experiences? I'm so frustrated I just wanna get my life back.

Thank you for your responses. I'm supposed to see a psychiatrist in about a week. By that time I'll have been on the fluoxetine for 16 days. Hope the psychiatrist can give me some more insight into what's going on and what will help. My regular doctor just got me in and out with those prescriptions. It's really helpful hearing from people who have been through it and are better or getting better. It gives me hope.

No I'm not vomiting all day everyday. Mostly in the morning and when I take a lorazepam it stops my physical anxiety symptoms. I was still vomiting and dry heaving the whole week before I started my medication. It says I can take the lorazepam every 6hrs but I've been taking 1 a day usually when my anxiety becomes too much to handle.
