Continuing My Journey With Generalized anxiety disorder

Good morning guys... I've been on meds for a couple weeks. Lexapro & busbar. I also take Lisinopril for high blood pressure caused by my extreme anxiety. I also take trazodone for sleep at night.

Just yesterday I was prescribed a pill that I forget the name of...but it's to help with the weight gain since I'm almost 250 from binge eating & to help stop smoking.

Adjusting to allll this medicine is a rollercoaster ride. I feel like I have to stick to what the Dr suggests for now. Even if some days I feel a hot mess.

The anti anxiety meds seem to be working a bit...but I still feel like the rabbit in the hole. Just able to peep out more often then not.

I even had a milestone moment...I sat on my porch for about 15mins...& days after went to the grocery store without feeling as though I was about to freak out.

I'm thankful for the small things at this point. Got a new job just as I was starting meds and its a bit of a struggle point. Even on meds I feel that anxiety wins over a lot.

Oh well...progress is progress though.

Congratulations!! You are making positive steps in your journey. Anxiety can be debilitating and I'm glad to see that things are starting to trend in a positive direction for you!

If you hit a little bump in the road, realize that it's just a little blip and continue to move forward in a positive manner!

Thanks Mike. I still get episodes a lot...but not as crippling as before the meds. I don't know if it's my inner need to get better...or the meds...but something is definitely working.
