HI everyone, I'm currently dealing with health anxiety since october/2018. I have been taking 50mg sertraline since december and clonazepam .5 mg for about 5 weeks. This weekend has been very rough because I had a panick attack on friday and been feeling extremely anxious since then. I forgot to take my clonazepam on Thursday, so I don't know if that had something to do with it. Today has been a battle for me, nauseas, heart racing, headaches and pain in back of the neck. Am I alone in this. I just feel so frustrated that when I think things are getting better, I take three steps back.
Hey, we all have good and bad days so don’t worry. Maybe ask ya gp about upping to 100mg sert? 50mg isn’t a lot tbh. Sertraline does work well at the correct dose and takes time. Hang in there 
you are not alone. millions of people are going through this all over the world. anxiety has a way of appearing out of nowhere.
IVE HAD IT SINCE AGE 5 for no apparent reason. after so many years of it i learned to take it in stride, not get upset because doing so makes it worse.
I RELAX MY MIND WITH CALMING MEDITATIONS ON YOU TUBE FOR ANXIETY, SLEEP, etc, AND BREATHING ONES
EAT HEALTHY AND STAY HYDRATED
EXERCISE REGULARLY SO THE BRAIN RELEASES SERATONIN TO FIGHT OFF ANXIETY
WALK IN QUIET NATURE
DONT TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY
STAY ACTIVE AND SOCIAL! VERY IMPORTANT
REMEMBER TO LAUGH NO MATTER WHAT!
I VISIT A COUNSELOR TO VENT ABOUT WHATS TROUBLING ME! VERY HELPFUL
Theres a great short meditation for panic on you tube called Stop panic attack now. she guides u thru it and it really works. my heart rate slowed, had more control
i have an upcoming appt with my psychiatrist. will definitely look into that. I was thinking about an increase in my dosage not long ago.
I am doing 30min walks about 4 times a week but this weekend has been extraordinarily stressful and I feel like I have lost the ground that I covered
i feel for you.every afternoon/evening i feel a bit more positive and think great, im doing better. then then next morning i wake and it all comes back. and you feel so disappointed and low it makes it worse. i make myself get up and dressed. to try and make it through another day. and i do.
I was doing so much better but since friday I have been feeling so down again. panic attacks, waking in the middle of the night, nauseas. i take .5mg of clonazepam but I feel it is not helping. my health anxiety has returned . i feel hopeless
thats how i felt on friday morning. i think my lowest day so far. but today am doing better. the nausea for me was dreadful. i felt if i could just get rid of that i would feel better. hang in there, IT WILL get better. xx
I do hope so. i feel so frustrated. i have an appointment with my dr soon, i will talk to him about an increase in my dosage because i feel just stuck
please hang on. you sound exactly like me a year ago. EXACt! you need to up the zoloft for sure and then like 2 more months before you dont have as many down days. soon your down days will be less frequent but they will come. i always thought i was being tested from maybe god to see how much i could handle. the only thing that got me through it was hearing other ppl who got through it telling me it will be ok. there is no other option!
