Anxiety - Fight or Flight Response?

[MrsOckert]

Updated info - 1b, 21/48, ND at 12 weeks.  In the last 2 or 3 weeks I've started experiencing anxiety.  It's not everyday and it's not depression.  It's that fear thing and feels like my body has kicked into high gear.  

If I remember correctly from school the fight or flight response has do with your adrenaline, doesn't it?

Has anyone else experienced this and what do you do/take for it?  I have an apt with doc but not till the 13th.  Valorie

just curious, did your hypoglycemia start clearing up once you got on treatment?, or anytime thereafter? I've heard a few different things on this...on the treatment lit I believe it says one of the side effects IS hypoglycemia (what a double drag that is) but then I've talked to some people who "were" hypoglycemic beforehand and their low blood sugar issues actually cleared up (course I want the latter for myself.)

Hey, didn't know you played golf?, (but it makes sense) betcha  there was a time I could of beaten ya on a short game...

Good post to Mrs. O.  I learn something new here every day.

I'd say it was pretty much cleared pre-tx. If it's changed on tx, then probably for the better. But quite frankly, the tx stuff might well mask it anyway.

I haven't played golf for a long time. Actually, not since I sold my course to that Japanese consortium. And the country club scene, I don't know, somehow it just seems so 'new money' these days, don't you agree?

I started on 10 for a while then he upped it to 20mg after I had gotten used to it.  It works WONDERS for me it really does. I mean honestly I'd love to stay on it forever...I never took anything like it before in my life but now I really "get" why people do.

It has levelled me out phenomenally.  It really helped.

My dr. gave me Xanax for the anxiety it works, helps you sleep also.

I was thinking I might want to go to 20 mg.  Since I have already had 10 mg, it didn't do much for me, that is why I weaned myself off. Thanks for letting me know how much you take.

You have to have the constitution of a 'sherman tank'.  Being able to go 24 weeks and pushing through 60 is very admirable.  I am not sure I could do that.  You really go girl!
