Anxiety disorder

not so good , how are you?

whats wrong and on day 3 of l tryptophan still feel unclear but just gotta keep going gotta remember this to shall pass so whatever ur going thru just stay positive and continue to do ur daily routine

i cant feel myself breathing and it feels like my heart is going to stop from beating so skow.

trust me ive had that happen before youll eventually just go to sleep and youll forgot passing out. its just anxiety being annoying just gotta know nothing is wrong its normal to have that. its definitely a weird feeling but it goes away are you taking any ssri?

no im not taking anything

Hi Kevin!

Its very nice of you to check in with everyone! I am doing better myself although definitely not out of the woods yet. I hope you are improving, how are you doing with the Tryptophan? I hope it has been helpful.

I hope you also have a really good week full of happiness. I am going to ask about Venlafaxine or Duloxetine on my next psychiatrist appointment, I have heard good things about Venlafaxine.

Keep well man, take care

ive heard that stuff works really well and has little side effects im going back to my celexa I tried being off for 6 weeks and my mood never got better so im fine with that sometimes we need a little help in the path we take so dont be ashamed of being on a ssri or anything that helps anxiety.

It’s good to hear you will be going back on an SSRI. For me, I just got told I have to wait 8 weeks to talk to my psychiatrist about the chance of starting Venlafaxine. I got told for now I just have to sit and wait for 2 months with no help and support.. can’t go to my doctors for medication because I am under a psychiatrists “care” even though my last appointment was 10 minutes long and nothing got done. This was at the end of May and I am just stuck, really upset me hearing this as I can’t keep twiddling my thumbs for another 2 months with no help other than being told to breathe when I have a panic attack.

I feel so let down, I am on no SSRI or antidepressant other than Propranolol, which doesn’t help with my mental health and my CPN seems to think it is an antidepressant as they told me it needs more time to “get into my system” as if it’s an SSRI. I just really don’t know what to do now, I am stuck in this limbo where neither side wants to help me.
