Day 77 people

[Jimmy1975]

Hi All , Well besides anxiety attacks like today life is pretty much getting back to normal for me . Not to much of the Derealization or PAWS going on now . No panic attacks but man the anxiety can be a real Killer ! Please you people who have been threw this before or are close to the same amount of time can you tell me  how you are doing with your emotional state . Also it seems to be always in the day time when I have problems . At night I am pretty calm . On a good note I can't tell you how nice it is not to wake up sick . It is well worth it to stop and get your life back . Hope everyone is doing well .  Jimmy

I know this sounds like a really stupid question but what goes on with you when you experience anxiety?  I don't think I've ever suffered from it and I'm not sure I am now in my recovery unless I am and I just think it's something else.  thanks..

congrats on 77days!

that is awesome!! :)  I had GAD going into this and figure I will have it far out of it... oh well part of me getting here was being an anxiety driven person.  I figure I am going to seriously start doing some yoga or something, everyone says it helps, so maybe I will jump on that wagon since Im not going to pop a pill to take the pain away anymore...

Im on cymbalta, can't say that I love it but my neuro says it helps with pain- so Im sure as hell not going off that anytime soon - but I have been on effexor xr, coming off it when I got pregnant was a total **** shoot, paxil- again, I seriously didn't have to much of a problem coming off of it, but I know ppl who have and they have been as bad off as I am coming off the vicodins.... then there is zoloft, that worked for a looooong time but stoped working so now I am on cymbalta... I will say if you can go on effexor (and stay on it cause wd *****) it worked great for me, but I don't want to go back on it in case I get pregnant..

anyhow Im on day 4 and feel wound up as tight as I can.. but better than yesterday ;)

good luck!!!

Sorry you too are still dealing with the anxiety. Today I am 133 days off of hydro's and still dealing with the anxiety. It is alot better than in the beginning but I still hate it. This has been the worst part from the beginning for me as you know. The depression is alot better although it sneaks up on me some days. I have great days in between the bad anxiety so that is a relief. Are you still on the lexapro? Do you think it helps at all? My pysc is talking about trying it next since I failed the last AD again. Anyway it's good to hear from you and know that you are doing ok. Hopefully the panic ends for both of us soon.
