Just knowing that I'm not alone. My bed has become my prison. I can't do any of the things I used to. I've lost two very well paying jobs to my anxiety in the past six months. I have the support of...

Anyone else having anxiety all the time?

Been having anxiety 24/7 for the past six months and nothing is helping. I feel alone and swallowed by it. I just stared taking lithium yesterday and for some reason that scares me. Anyone else where...

Thank you so much for your helpful words. I've been trying to do those things I just feel so paralyzed with fear. I want like this a week ago. It just came one day and bam, it was here to stay. I'm...

I'm suffering my fourth nervous breakdown. I can't escape the negative thoughts and my body is in a constant state of panic. The only thing that works is to knock myself out on Xanax. I haven't been...

Is anyone else currently in a situation like mine. I had a breakdown yesterday where I could not get out of bed for the entire day.

[QUOTE=salvator here;246859]Effexor does indeed work but the main problem is trying to get off of it - the hardest compare to tramadol in my opinion.

How are things going Butters?[/QUOTE

All I can do is lay in bed and take Xanax for the panic. I even get panic in my sleep. I just can't function like a normal person should be able to.

Fifth day on 75mg and feel completely debilitated. All I do is take Xanax and worry and sleep. Every minute awake is a nightmare. I really hope it gets better and soon.

I tried four different antidepressants since being taken off of effexor in August. None of them have helped. I got taken off the effexor in August because I didn't think it was working after being on...

Thank you so much Jordan. Yeah, it's rough. Worse part is now it is progressively getting worse during the day. I'm having mid grade panic all of the time. If not for my wife and Xanax I would be in...

Before this happened, again, I was exercising regularly. I had to teach today and it was the biggest obstacle to climb. I don't know how much more I can take of this. I feel like I'm the only one...

I have been waking up between 4am and 5am for the past month with bad anxiety. I go to bed fine but the mornings are so rough. Been suffering on and off with bad anxiety since I was a child. I'm 40,...

It's tough when family is not in your corner. Almost all of my family has been very supportive of my nervous breakdown. Almost everyone. My younger brother who I helped raise turned his back on me...

Thanks everyone for such support. Thank you imperfect for your story and coping mechanism. I pray that your wife turns out to be ok. I can't imagine that, you are one strong individual. Again, thanks...

I'm 40 years old and I have pretty much lost everything. I had to move back in with my parents because my anxiety caused me to lose my job. I worry about everything. Money, I had to take this...

This is kind of a repost but that's how bad I'm suffering. I wake up every morning hot and with panic. Nothing seems to be working and this is my fourth nervous breakdown. Has anyone had anxiety for...

I've been going through panic attacks everyday for the past two weeks. I've got them all the time. You aren't alone.

Never tried tea before. I take a Xanax before bed but even that doesn't help. I just don't know what's wrong with me. Why I'm having constant anxiety and depression. Like I said this is my fourth...

Thanks. The mornings are the worst. I wake up with it and it is just so debilitating. Just bumped up to 60mg of Cymbalta. Hoping that helps.

Everyone on here has been such a help. Does it matter that I am going from one SNRI to another. Will the new med do things the old didn't, or is it just like wearing the same shirt but a different...

Thank you all. It's just so tough being dependant on Xanax to feel halfway normal. I am a school teacher and Uber driver and there is no way I'll be able by the start of school. I can't even drive....

Thank you. It's just so tough feeling like you are having a nervous breakdown 24/7.

Was on effexor 5 years, 40 years old, fit shape. Just put on Cymbalta 30mg, Gabbapentin 3x a day, and just put on a mood stabilizer at night. I just don't think it was a good idea for him to just...

I'm waking up in a state of panic like no other. I can't function. I was having panic before this but this is a new level of misery. I can't live like this. Has anyone been in this position before? I...
