Hello Adam and Welcome,
I understand exactly what you are feeling and going through.
Back in the summer I wanted to see if I really needed my meds (Zoloft) so I weened myself of of them which...
My Grandfather had OCD, Mom has OCD and I have Anxiety/OCD.
My trigger was back in 66/67 (I was 11) when my Dad had a brain tumor removed and although they saved his life the surgery left him...
Just keep in mind if your anxiety does return that it takes 3-4 weeks for the meds to fully kick in.
I have to say though that 5 mg's of Citalopram is almost nothing, that is a starter dose.
I...
I stopped my meds for about two months and it was bad, back on now and all is well again.
Have your meds started to kicked in?
Are you feeling any better than you were when you first posted two...
That was me 20 years ago.
I would work and then come home and stay there, would not see my family or answer the phone when they would call.
Anti-Depressants changed all of that and I am Thankful...
I hope the supplements work for you and help to ease the anxiety.
(From my lips to God's ears)
If you ever do get to see a doctor again and want to try anti-depressants again Citalopram (generic...
I have read your posts and must say you are very good at saying the right things in the right way to comfort people, makes me feel better each time I read one, Thank You.
My post that was "not allowed until approved" was rather lengthy, were your posts that were not allowed also lengthy?
I am not sure I understand.
Mental Illness/Anxiety/Depression are all sicknesses just like any physical ailment and you are going to be treated by a medical professional, your place of employment...
Welcome To The Forum!!!
Same thing happened to me when I first posted, poured my heart out in a long post and it never appeared.
If you need to talk we are hear to listen.
Welcome To The Forum!!!
Hang in there, we will listen when you need someone to talk to.
What treatments have you tried to alleviate your anxiety issues since being diagnosed?
Welcome To The Forum!!!
I know exactly what you are going through, a few month's ago I thought my meds (Zoloft) were not working anymore and I was getting tired of trying new drugs with no...
Welcome To The Forum!!!
And we will keep on listening as long as you need to talk.
Have you seen a Doctor or been on any meds?
So sorry to hear about the issues you are going through right now.
Have you spoken to your doctor?
I went through the same thing, poured my guts out when I was having major issues a few weeks back, said it needed to be "approved by a moderator" and the post has never shown up.
Are you OK???
Welcome and you are not alone.
If you need to talk about your anxiety issues this is the place to do it, hang in there.
IMO, if Medical Doctors are not helping and blaming it on Anxiety and you are really concerned about this then see a Counselor or Psychiatrist, they are trained to deal with situations like this.
Clonazepam is Generic Klonopin and according to my Doctor provides about 6 hours of relief from those moments of high anxiety.
He also says it is not a long term solution and is addictive.
You need...
Since nobody has responded to your post and I know it is frustrating when nobody responds, is anybody listening...???
I have not had any of the feelings you are describing so I cannot comment on...
I was on Lexapro years ago and I do not remember my appetite being affected.
I did gain weight over the past few years but that was mostly due to my getting older, eating habits and lack of exercise...
Hello and Welcome,
Have you considered talking to your Dr. about medication?
I know a lot of people are leary about meds but for me they have made my anxiety "livable" with virtually no side...
Hello and Welcome,
I know exactly how you feel as I am sure we all do.
I have lived with Anxiety as long as I can remember (50+ years) and all day everyday worse case scenario's over every little...
I was on 40 mgs of Citalopram (Generic Celexa) for about 7-8 years and had absolutely no bad side effects.
I stopped taking it because it seemed to be losing it's effectiveness which I am told is...
Hello and Welcome,
Did you have anxiety issues prior to this incident?
Thank You for the Welcomes.
I did post this morning sharing my concerns as "littlestarsmum" suggested and it said it had to be checked by moderation before it can be posted???
