Okay Sam then i will do that with you 😊 at least we have someone taking the same mg at the same time. How does that sound to you? Ireland is meant to be beautiful! Im on the isle of Wight ☺
Oh no that's awful, im sorry to hear that 😔But at least now you know what you have to do. And having your boyfriend experienced in this illness must be amazing, im so glad you have that support and i really hope you manage to get better and under control asap xx
Yeah!
That sounds like a plan! If it makes more sense to you to also take 75, do that. The Isle of Wight? Never been there, but we're technically neighbours 
Yes it feels like i am more in control talk ng 75 although i do have a little anxiety ATM which in don't normally get in the evening. It is worrying but hey 50mg is such a low dose a lot of people are on 200mg and that works for them. Baby steps for us neighbour! ❤
Exactly!
The additional anxiety you're feeling right now might just be the apprehension of taking the updose. I know I've been nervous before an updose as you're fearful of the possible reactions. I take my meds at around 8pm most nights. I've tried a few times of the day, and found around this time seems to have less impact on my sleep.
Though, the updose might bring my sleep disturbances back, I'll just have to wait and see!
Its good we are starting to understand our symptoms however bad they are i suppose! I take mine at midnight as i don't sleep before. I spend so much of the day in such a state i like to enjoy my evenings feeling "normal" x i got some diazepam to take so hopefully that helps in the morning! Xxx
Awesome.
Peoples situations are so different. My environment compounds my symptoms as I live in a very stressful environment, so I know that once I'm out of here, I'll be able to manage things more effectively.
Just remember this.....If you can get through the worse symptoms that our condition, and these meds throw at us, you will be able to manage anything, and I mean any other hardship in your life so much easier.
Try to see what you're experiencing as a challenge, that will benefit you further down the line. Going through the sh*t, gives you great perspective on the great.
Can I ask your age?
Im 37 x how are you feeling? I hope you slept well xx
Hi
The reason I'm asking is that it could be the beginning of the perimenopause stage. You never know.
I'm 32
I slept ok. I did wake up earlier like I did when I first started the 25mg. It's waking up completely alert, no grogginess. It's so odd. Usually when I wake up normally, I need a good 30 mins to wake my body up.
When I wake pre-maturely, and it seems to be related to the meds, I wake up and just open my eyes, as if I was just resting them. Apart from having a very vivid dream, I feel not much different than yesterday morning.
How did you sleep?
Ah that's not too bad then.
I slept okay aabi took 10mg diazepam. I woke with another panic attack but that's normal 😢 i took 5mg diazepam and the attack has stopped I'm just left with anxiety and i feel like a zombie. Its got to pass soon im really miserable today xx
I hope you leave that environment real soon hun 😊 for me it all came out of the blue on 14th December. We have no idea why, i have also been so outgoing and confident its the worst and if i have to continue like this i don't know what i will do. I don't feel positive at all today. I was hoping i would be feeling better a bit but im worse 😢
Ugh, I'm sorry!
How are you feeling worse today?
The thing is, it's not coming out of nowhere. I was the same. When I had my first panic attack, the day when it happened, I was feeling great!
I was the healthiest I had ever been in my life, I was calm, relaxed and having a nice day of shopping, when it just hit me out of nowhere.
The thing is, usually when it's seen to come out of nowhere, the issue is residing in your sub-conscious, or buried away. Issues that are left unresolved don't go away on their own. They're slowly eroding away in your mind in the background.
The only advice I can give you on this, is have some self-reflection and look at the issues you've had in your past, if nothing is jumping out at you right away
I was the same! Out Christmas with my sister and my new baby nephew, i was having an amazing day! And yes you're right there has been alot happen to over the years but i always shove it away and move on.
The diazepam has helped so much with my attacks today x i just feel so miserable and keep crying xxx
