Anyone taking 15mg Mirtazapine with 10mg Escitilopram?

Glad you managed to eat something, oh I know what you mean about the stomach noises!

Gosh sounds like you've got a lot on too with all of those procedures, like you say it adds to the anxiety too, I nearly had to have a colonoscopy a few years ago but they decided against it in the end. I've heard they're not very pleasant at all, do you have to drink that stuff before too?

Hope your afternoon is a little easier πŸ’–

Everything triggers my anxiety now , like im over sensitive or something like that. I think that once im in hospital I will chicken out and tell them not to do it. Yes they sent me some stuff to drink and tablets to take.....dont know why doc sent me for it , it wasnt my gp , it was hematologist Ive seen the other week , Ive got iron deficiency and been sent for iron infusions cause tablets make me sick. I had reverse reaction to infusion as well. Doctor wanted to level my iron with one infusion and I only managed to get half before I got reaction ggrrrrrr that didnt help me .....tbh im feeling better after food , not so sickly.But keep thinking about bed time and that I might feel bad again

I'm exactly the same, no particular trigger, just everything!!

Gosh you are going through it with your other problems too 😒

Glad your feeling a little better after eating, in the same, starting to dread night time and early morning as that's when I'm at my worst, and get major panic attacks!

I could honestly throttle my GP for putting me through this, him and the mental health nurse specialist too 😑

I never used to be like this , I was strong bubbly 31 year old , happily married, with doggie , took antidepressants for ocd before but was year free and bam few months of stress and I got anxiety and now im scared of my own shadow . But it has to get better, I refuse to feel like this and im going to fight for my old self. Well Im trying now but it so hard when you feeling like poo πŸ’©πŸ’© im fed up with GPs , now I know that I cant even turn to them cause they not supportive .......

Would be lovely to be our old happy selves wouldn't it!

I look at other people and wish I was like them and not like this pile of rubbish..... damn GPs 😑

God im feeling awful 😫horrible night time grrrrrr

Oh no aga😒

I'm beginning to get the dread too!!

Do you think it's the night/early hours thing? I'm bloody dreading it, might be another night on the sofa!!

Did you feel better for a while after eating?

I managed to eat something earlier but know the nausea, panic, shaking, etc is going to be back again........ how much longer can this go on 😒

Im just questioning everything, if I need medications, what if they going to make me worse, what if im going to feel like this forever, I start thinking about work that I have to go back to on friday and feeling like this its paralyzing. Just feeling fed up 😫anxiety is off the charts , never felt like this before , even before antidepressants. Im so scared πŸ˜«πŸ˜«πŸ˜«πŸ€•

I felt better after food buy only for a while , then I started feeling sick again with trembeling and now with nasuea and anxiety and thoughts. How are you feeling now Karen ? X

I felt a bit better after eating. But I know it's not going to last!

Too scared to go to bed again, just don't know what to do, can't carry on like this!!!!

Probably thinking about going back to work is making you feel more anxious too, I don't know about you, but I start panicking about things before they are here or happen!! I'm anxious about everything!!

So scared of having more panic attacks too!!

Try to hang in there, we've got to beat this......god knows how though!! πŸ’–

I think the other problem is I now associate going to bed with having a panic attack!

Just don't know what to do anymore 😒 Xx

Im sorry for winging Karen , im just so fed up atm. Thought I had good day but nooooo stupid thoughts keeps coming and then I blame meds for it. If I didnt have to go back to work for a while until I get better I wouldnt stress so much. But I dont get sick pay so cant really afford to stay off. Im exactly the same , instead of concetrating on present I keep thinking about future and things lol well thats what anxiety is lol hubby tells me to give time for meds to work but you know when you just feeling so fed and ill. Just think about going to doctors tomorrow and that something is gonna get done hopefully about how you feeling πŸ˜—πŸ˜—

Yes I know , but what if you take diazepam 1hr before you go to bed ? Or just go to bed to sleep when you really tired.try to read a book or watch movie? I know easier said than done tho

Aga you are not whinging!! I feel exactly the same, so worn out and so scared 😳

I worked in childcare for 24years, but had to give it up earlier this year, I broke my foot last June and was in a cast until August, then I lost my mum in September, I decided t couldn't face going back what with all of that and my anxiety, ironically a few months back I felt I could face it again, but there is no way!! Meant to be starting a business with another lady doing childminding but can't focus on getting any of that started either!!

And the worst of it is, we managed to get tickets to see Coldplay in Cardiff, bought them last October, two days before the concert on the 12th July, this all started, so I couldn't go as needed to be close to the loo...... I was devastated!!

That's how much this bloody illness ruins your life.....plus stupid GPS 😑 Xx

Awww so sorry , you have been thru a lot , bless you πŸ˜—πŸ˜— I really hope you will be back to your old self , most important thing is to not give up and always have hope. And there is always way out. But with anxiety it seems like there is not and thats an issue. We just overthink everything and we cant cotrol it. Stupid irrational thoughts. When I take some diazepam I feel like my old self , cause physical symptoms of stress disapear , no banging heart , I can think clearly. I just hope I will be able to be like this only on fluoxetine as I dont want to depend on benzos xx

So many things ruined and not done cause of it and we only have one life and we locked inside our heads gggggrrrrrr and yes gps , dont get me started on this again. My hubby said that for my next visit he walks in with me , that is enough of docs not taking me seriously

Diazepam are the only thing that makes me feel half okish! My GP will only give me 2mg ones now though, well I can tell you they are not lasting five minutes at the moment, he used to give me 5mg ones too but wanted me to cut back..... no chance! Thankfully a&e gave me 4 5mg ones but I only have one left, but one I've my neighbours told my husband they have some if I need them.

How do these GPs think we can get through this without extra medication?!

I hope you have a better night, I'm dreading it, don't know whether to go to bed or not xx

Doctors dont have a clue. Especially mine. They dont want to give diazepam cause they addicted but yet throwing prescription for ADs. Its easier to come off benzos than ADs im telling you. Maybe have this 5mg tablet before bed to prevent panic attack. And just read book or talk to me πŸ€—im in bed now but cant sleep, waiting untill I feel really tired , thats when I fall asleep. Demand 5mg diazepam of doctor, short term just to help you cope with side effects of AD and maybe sleeping pills xxz

No they didn't have a clue, yet the dr at a&e had no hesitation in giving me one to take whilst I was there and the other 4 to bring home.

My GP will get a copy of this, but I bet he still doesn't listen, they just seem to think ....oh it's ok you can ride it out.... but you can't!

Just taken another Escitilopram, don't know if it's best to take them at night or in the morning, mental health nurse specialist said morning a&e dr said night!!! That's my 6th one, I feel tired but know exactly what's going to happen xx

I take mine on a night time , to avoid side effects during the day , dont think about anything bad happening, take diazepam so you wont get panic attack. I took some 3hrs ago , needed to x
