2 months ago i stopped taking zoloft and was prescribed wellbutrin sr i started off at 75mg for the first month and didnt feel good but didnt feel bad but closer to the second month i was upped to 150 and at first i was ok and then about maybe a week into being on 150 i had gotten a slight panic attack and ever since then i havent been able to stop crying my intrusive thoughts are coming back aswell and ive been like this for about a week and idk what to do i have to wait until the 20th to go back to my doctor but thats a very long time away to be having anxiety for i havent felt this bad since i first started on an anti depressant about 3 years ago which was zoloft i dont think the zoloft was helping me much and thats why i switched to wellbutrin but im starting to think i was better off on zoloft what should i do???
I know you say you need to wait until 20th but is there no way they can squeeze you in sooner as if your really suffering they may be able to give you something to calm you until the new medication kicks in..
I called the doctor twice and he said theres no way for me to squeeze in and that i have to hold out until the 20th unless theres an opening
That really is unfortunate as when a got put on sertraline it made everything worse for me a was in extreme fear and anxiety that a was in doctors about 3 times over 2 weeks and they gave me diazepam because of how bad it was it
Took the edge off things for me to make It bearable. Hope you feel better soon. Try keep your mind buzy while your waiting to see doctor.. have you got support at home
Ive been doing my best to keeo busy but everything seems like its so much to bear my mom isnt really in the mood to deal with me most of the time and my dad constantly tells me that the medication is working and that everything thats going on is my fault and that im doing it to myself realistically the only support i have is my girlfriend which is who im trying to get better for so she doesent have to worry about me so much
Aw gosh it's hard when you don't have understanding of your anxiety.. it's not your own fault at all. Anxiety is real and it's absolutely horrendous for the sufferer sometimes it's really hard for people who haven't gone through it themselfs to understand.. that's good about getting better for your Gf but make sure you get better for you! Things will get better tho.. as at beginning of this journey 8 months ago a never thought I'd be better again it was hell everyday.. but a can see some glimmer of hope now.. I'll have good and bad days but on the bad I just tell myself this is anxiety and do my best to get on with things.. get everything you need to get out with the doctor.. hopefully they can refer you for maby even some councilling a got some therapy was signed off today tho as they can see am coping now.. as the anti d only made everything worse for me... keep your chin up! Even if you have to come on here daily and talk to fellow sufferers do that as it helps to talk to someone who knows what your suffering.. I take comfort in my faith too..
