Hey everyone,
I would like to start by saying that i am new to this. I'm excited to be joining.
I was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder.
Every morning when i wake up i take a paroxetine (1mg)
I also take medication for my high blood pressure called lisinopril (20mg)
And recently i had a horrible panic attack and called 911 and the doctor gave me a few lorazepam pills (1mg) (only when needed)
This is all new to me so i now know that i have to see a psychiatrist for benzos and stuff life that. I have my appointment in October because of how busy they are.
So my psychologist recommended for me to take "calm" a magnesium supplement and i started taking that yesterday. She also said to drink sleepytime tea because my anxiety doesn't allow me to sleep most nights.
Not that i don't trust her but is this really okay? Like let's say for example today i took my paroxetine and my high blood pressure pills along with a lorazepam pill (i just had a terrible attack) is it really okay to take the magnesium in the evening and the sleepytime tea at night with all those medications?
If i woke up in the middle of the night with an attack can i still take my second lorazepam after taking that magnesium and sleeping tea?
I get so anxious about things like this. Please help. It would mean a lot. Thank you. I really need sleep.
