I don't think the medication is working well anymore.

I've always had social anxiety and panic disorders and just delt with it. When my father passed away about 2 years ago the anxiety/panic went off the charts! i missed work, i didnt want to go out and saw myself going down a dark path. I went to my Dr who referred me to a psychiatrist and after taking with him and discussing everything he put me on Wellbutrin, Klonopin, and fluxotine(prozac).

I was to take 1 wellbutrin 1 flux 1 clonazapam in the morning then 1 wellbutrin and 1 clonazapam in the afternoon and in the evening 1 clonazapam(if needed) it worked well it helped me through the death of my father and some of my anxiety issues. lately i noticed it hasn't been working as well So i went back and he advised to take 1.5 clonzapam in the morning keep the same afternoon dose and 1/2 clonazapam at night. It started working some (not as well as it used to) recently due to many different changes at my work(out of the blue i might add) i feel like its not working again. I made an appointment to see my Pychiatrist to talk to him about it. does anyone take the same "cocktail" i do? if not is there a recommendation on what to take?

Hi Kevin.

I also see a counselor once a week or once every 2 weeks who has been wonderful and has been going through excercise with me. but at this phase in my life it's just not enough.. I'm hoping that I can build up to that. To me the medication is what keeps me focused on the task at hand if that makes any sense.

Between my father passing away(I had to say goodbye by telephone because he lives in another state and im not even sure he heard me) and major constant changes at work have really threw me for a loop. some times my chest gets so tight I feel like im being crushed by a Boa constrictor.

Stay off meds for sometime, taking them to death will lead you nowhere.

You will get there but just remember that it takes time , i have been on my journey for 3 years and although i would be 98% recovered it is something that changed my life and something i am still working on . Dont panic about the 3 years bit , now i only get pissed off too easy but none of the major crap i dealt with in the early sta

wo thing i would say helped me heaps was learning to mediate and also taking some good multi supp to help my body heal and relax .

This Psychiatrist is doing nothing more than trying to hide the symptoms . They are there for a reason and should be faced

Go and find someone to talk things out with , someone that will help you to accept some of your questions and fix some of your thinking that you may think of as normal .
