Hi everybody. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow, to ask him if he could help me with some meds for the morning anxiety which is hightened quite bad, cannot concentrate on anything, and pacing up and down aimlessly, till the afternoon when it subsides. I started Sertraline 50 mg 3 weeks ago, started the first week with 25mg, my doctor upped at 50. I thing is easing a little bit, but still uncomfortable in the mornings, I sleep OK due to exhaustion of battling during the day, appetite nil, everything tastes as sawdust. And I wake up between 4, 5 am. A very long day.
your nearly their tho, another couple weeks and it should subside. xx
Thank you, I am panicky and feel alone...
Hi Hun I'm exactly the same in the mornings and on edge all day till about 7pm then a calm down a little, I'm on 50mg of sertraline which I've been on 2 weeks tomorrow! My anxiety has increased but most people say this happens at first, I'm bk at docs this morning to spk to him about it and think there going to increase it to 100mg, I also know what u mean by long days as all u can think about is how u feel, will let u know how I get on, it's nice knowing that were not alone in this x
The mess make you feel worse before better! It's the side effects
Many thanks Tracy for your reply, I am helpful that tomorrow maybe I get a little help from my doctor, I know this dose is good for me, as it did work before, the problem is I go into pieces while it kicks. And is a lonely road to recovery....
Tomorrow better!....😀
I know!.... It is hard.... But nearly there I hope
Yeh I've been off work for 6 months now with panic attacks and anxiety, I'm also on mirtazipine 45mg at night which does help me sleep , good luck tomorrow x
Thank you for your support, most welcome
Well have just come bk from Drs , broke down in there and couldn't stop crying! He's upped my doze to 100mg and said they do take a good six weeks to kick in, so hopefully in a few weeks I will start feeling better , hope u get sorted tomorrow when u go xx
Well done Tracy, Chin up, don't panic, tomorrow is a new day, hopefully better.... If not the day after.... Recovery is there for everybody, it will make us stronger....
I am turning philosopher in old age!
Ha thanks so much xx
Well said! I've been on increased dose for 4 weeks,.....I have turned a corner! Just got that anxious feeling in the diaphragm. Do u get that?
I get tightness, mainly in my neck, when I am anxious, I cannot stay still, pacing up and down helps, My blood pressure is very up, so I worry i'll have a stroke or a heart attack. What a mess!. Today is raining, that makes me feel not too good!. It's bad enough when the sun is out, at least I can take the dog for a walk,...
I saw my do. On Monday and she gave me propranolol for the anxious feelings.
Yes I get that feeling in my stomach!! My moods really low at the minute aswell did u find that and did it lift xx
Yes they lift, xxx
Wow I disliked those panick attacts. A thing that worked for me was to accept them as an unwanted friend or even a friend, the fact that you except it puts the fear to the back of the mind, even talk to it. Yes it sounds crazy but it helped me and many others. Give it a go and keep at it. All the best ☺
Thanks
Oh good I can't stop crying and feel so down with life at the minute
