Will I ever feel normal again?

[Overwithit]

I am a having such a bad day - feel so anxious, crabby, and frustrated with all of this. I’m on 75mg of Amitriptyline plus some other medications that I am tapering off of. I am seeing a new doctor for medications and she just doesn’t seem to care. I miss my old doctor but he will not take me back - too busy. I have to see a therapist and do not like her at all. All she wants to do is talk about the past. I need to talk about what is currently happening in my life. I was doing so well on my medications until 5 months ago and that’s when I changed doctors. Big mistake and I am now paying dearly for it. I feel like I don’t want to do anything - do not want to leave the house and don’t want to do anything around the house. Have no motivation at all. Has anyone else taken Amitriptyline and have it work for them? How long did it take to make you feel normal again?

I am on 10mg of the same med ur on. I have no motivation to do anything. I am severely anxious all the time. I tried imagery counting journaling

My chest pounds all day. I'm with a therapist but all she does is try to calm me down were not working on any of my issues. I am at the end of my rope with this.

I feel for you - sounds like we are in the same boat. I am going to tell my therapist today what I want to talk about and if she doesn’t comply than I will sign off with her. Can your doctor give you a higher dose of your medication? It took a while but I am up to 75mg. I think I need to go higher.

It is all so confusing and frustrating.

This trial and offer with meds is so frustrating and i dont have the energy to go thru it. Breathing exercises don't help me. That's what my therapist and husband push me to do. Losing my mother a 9 really f*tucked me up. I know it was nothing she did. She died from breast cancer. Trying to decide whether to go to a herbologist or hypnosis. Both are out of pocket pay

The hypnotherapist from what he tells me can get into the sub concious. It's not cheap. $350 to start than 175 a week I'm desperate for this anxiety to go away
