Ever since my anxiety episode or whatever this is started a month ago I’ve had no energy always feel dizzy and tired. I can barely make it out of the house. I’m on Prozac (started week4) ans doxepin (day 6) and today I pushed myself to go out with sister and mom and Christmas shop. Bad idea. Everything put me into a panic. Dizzy the whole time , then came home, diarrhea and mind racing heart pounding and I took Xanax but I think it was too late. Took zofran. Now I’m just sitting here trying to distract myself and rest but feel miserable. When will I feel better??? I just want to be myself again.
I just forced myself to go to Wal-Mart. I was on edge the whole time but I was ok tell I was at self check out. My body started getting this rush numbing feeling and I started to panic. Luckily I made it out and back home but now I feel like s**t. My bp is kinda high and pulse but I know it's just anxiety so I'm just trying to relax with my kids. I hope you start to feel better too.
Thanks for answering. Did it help or did you have to take something ?
Anxiety can be quite draining. It always takes a lot out of me for a while after a severe attack. After a while I start to feel like I can socialize again. Surprised Xanax didn’t help you at least for the night. I have been dealing with it for so long I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Hope you feel better soon.
unfortunately daniel when im like this my panic is so bad i take xanax every day (when im good which was for several years i hardly ever take it) so i take too much i think, but also ive been told i need to take it on the onset of panic so that it works, if i wait too long it doesnt have the best effect. and thats what happened, on top of being too use to it, but i dont want to switch anti anxiety meds cuz i think xanax is the best out there,
I take paxel but it's going to take a month before I start to feel a difference
but do you have anything to take in the moments of panic?
I’m sorry. I’ve had anxiety for 10+ years now. Mine is quite bad but I never really went to the medication side of things always trying to beat it on my own. I have only done Valium for attacks but that’s been a long time. When attacks happen it’s the worst and takes a long time to recover and usually feel especially depressed for a while after but I try to get out on my own. I only really trust my family to be around in those situations. Or I force myself in public or out on a walk.
Yes but only bc the doctor at the er prescribed me some. I took one just now bc I woke up with my heart pounding so fast 😢😢
Hello Tina
Have you tried Relaxation Technique, Mindfulness. That may help you relax
BOB
omg thats me every single morning. sometimes it last all day but worst in the am!!!
It’s worse in the morning because your body creates more cortisol at that time of day to help you get up and start your day and cortisol is what causes anxiety if you have too much of it rushing around your system. It’s like you’re constantly in a heightened state of fear so it’s exhausting. Maybe you need a higher dose of Prozac? You should start to feel better in 4 weeks. Definitely get a book on understanding anxiety and do daily meditation and the 4,7,8 breathing technique. It’s a lot of work on you part but it will be with it.
Boy does it ever. Morning hardest. Nights too but that’s cuz I think I create more worry at night.
