I have dealt with anxiety on and off my whole life. Last week I was put on a new birth control that sent my anxiety spiraling out of control. I stopped the birth control on Friday but am still dealing with antsy edgy feelings. When I try to get out of the house I get very paranoid and feel detatched. I already take Lexapro 10mg and have Xanex available but I would rather not take it. The only relief I get is when I am asleep. But I've slept so much over the past few days I have all this built up anxiety. When I try to exercise I get a little nauseous.

Any tips on how to cope? I try to talk myself down but it's hard. I try breathing but it's also hard. I need to go back to work tomorrow and that has my anxiety at a 10. I keep thinking what if I can't make it? What if I have an attack at work.
