Okay so I nee something else to mellow me out

[Cynnieb4]

Okay guys. I have tried this xanax for the last couple of days even did two today,  I can not mellow out. It doesn't do anything for me. I know the ear thing is popping and leaving me, But I go into complete anxiety mode when it chokes me. That is a good drug if you take enough for insomnia, but this thing needs to stop. I have tried meditation, etc. but nothing is working. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks. I need it

Try some camomile tea.  I use it to take the edge off.

my anxiety since I was a chile:) no drugs, just me!

[Cynnieb4]

ps levels were good. 1.8 and .62 for tsh. I am feeling the meds now. Thats why i am scared:) but in a good way!

Okay No, getting, better, i think its just anxiety from all of this, being able to remember, not knowing when or why it happened, all the emotional stuff.  I think I will calm down when it stoppes choking me. The ears are bothering me tho. I am flushing them constantly. I didn't even know how bad they were until three months ago. But the biggest is not knowing how long I was out of it, completely scares me. :) I will get there

Cynnie....what were your most recent labs?  I agree with Stella that it is time for you to start trying something alternative....walking, yoga, breathing techniques. The most important thing is to remember not to get scared when you get anxious.
There are some great natural products out there for anxiety too....just a thought.
The last time you switched back to Synthroid this happened too.....hmmmm.

Will the dr let you try Ativan.  That works for me in situations as you describe, but ea person is different.  They have it in generic so maybe only buy a few to try ??

It's a process Cynnie - You need to let time be on your side.

easier said then done................ I know.

Take a walk - practice breathing - Read -

Your levels are off - Did you have this stuff this bad when on Armour?
