Anxiety

[grncandy]

Does any one remember Anxiety being an issue even at day 12? I am on lexapro and cymbata. And Thorazine as needed for anxiety which has been about 50mg every 4 hrs. I have been on these meds for 14days mon. Is something wrong with my meds > or is this still w/d?

I'm on Day 50.  Early on I had anxiety so bad that I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack.  Chest tightness.  Heart pounding hard. The works.  By week 3 or 4 I was great!  The last few days it's come back.  It seems to have a 2 week cycle.  If I can't shake it soon I'm heading for Lexapro.  As tough as it is it's better than being hooked.

Hang in there!  You're doing Great!  Day 12 is a turning point for a lot of folks.  Keep it up!

Oh, yeah.....baby.  day 12 exactly.  It skyrocketed.  I don't know why, but day 12, 14, 16, were bad anxiety days .......just when you thought it was over......it comes back and bites you.  this will happen from time to time for a while.  Hang tough.

luv,

anxiety is a very very normal part of withdrawals, it is attributed to the fear of living life without the crutch of the pills. It is tough but will become easier with time. God Bless...

Anxiety runs through me every damn day and I'm on day 31.....even the mildest stress.  I just started cymbalta...but they said it may not kick in until even 4 weeks, but anywhere from 1-4.....be patient, but lets stay in touch about that....I'm in the same boat....It's awful, sometimes I have to pull my van over and practice breathing techniques.....it can just consume me....this is day number 5 of not crying and feeling absolute misery.  ONly day number 2 of cymbalta....

Opi,
me and my horrible memory forgot to stop at the pharmecy but remembered as soon as I had my 1st craving of the day yippppeeeeee.  Hate to bundle up the kids to go there...might just wait until tomorrow.....not they're problem, you know?
