Hey everyone,
Just want to post an update and thank you for reading.
I just visited a new psychiatrist yesterday and he changed my meds. The medication I took before I saw him was:
Seroquel XR : 200 mg at night
Dothiepin: 25 mg at night
Pristiq: 50 mg day time
Diazapam: 15 mg (5 mg x2 day time and 5 at night time) I know this is a strong dose as I am a Benzo dependency and need to wean off soon
Lyrica: 75 mg x2 ( morning x 1 and night time x2)
Although I am on diazapam everyday I still feel some mild panic in the day time but for a week I feel a lot better
The medication I am on right now is :
Seroquel : (not XR, 100 mg at night )
Fenazin: 25 mg at night
Diazapam : still on 15 mg
Hydroxyzine: 10 mg x 3 in the day time
Pristiq: 50 mg night time
Lyrica : 75 mg day time and 150 night time
I have started on the new meds just last night and I slept through the night which I haven’t for a long time. My dr wanted me to stabilise my sleep first before I could wean of the diazapam on a slow flow.
I am so currently doing CBT and it helps a little bit.
For the past week after my vacation to Japan I feel a lot relieved and a lot less panicky in the day time. Reading the post on the forum helped me a lot to see that I am not alone. I am so surprised that there are actually a lot of people suffering from anxiety and panic attacks.
Anyone taking Fenazin for anxiety and sleep? I have read some drug review saying that it really helps. But I am on my first day only.
Hope you all well and fight over this!
