Hi i have suffered anxiety on and off for number of years. I start a new job on Monday. i was originally nervous about this but now my anxiety has gone so high i cant think straight. Im so worried by the time Monday comes im going to be a complete mess. I take sertraline 50. I have a doctors appointment today to see if i can have something to calm my high anxiety. I know once i start the job and get into it this anxiety will fade but at the moment i feel my anxiety is off the scale
Hi,
Diazepam worked well for me (short term use only) 20 mins and it starts to work, or Propanolol to slow the heart rate down (Palpitations) . Ask your doc.
Good Luck
Peace 
Hi Zen:
I am taking diazapam too but i have taken it for 17 years already . What’s your dosage and are you hooked with it? I am taking propananol too .
Hello,
My doc only prescribed 5mg Diaz for short periods to avoid its addictive habits.
For me it’s a 100% effective quick fix for panic attacks and pharyngeal spasm caused by anxiety.
i take pro with an anti sickness if i feel i am going into a panic attack works really well i am on 10mg citalopram . I try and use my breathing techniques but if that doesnt work i will take 10mg pro , try and focus on positive things about your new job
i know the feeling. i to take sertraline and recently started a new job.
i know its hard but the first day is always the hardest( even for people without anxiety disorders) . its normal to be nervous when starting a new job and meeting new people and fitting in. throw some positivity it and im sure you will do fine. i recomend not taking something to calm you on your first day as it might make you drowsy. once you meet everyone it will be fine. i hope you enjoy your new job
thankyou for all your replies and encouragement.
