wait a month before returning to work

[purl1]

So I went and saw my therapist today and I talked about going back to work. He thinks I should wait at least a month to see if my anxiety is better or if today it's better and tomorrow it's not. Just last week was by far the hardest time I've had with it. I think my meds are now kicking in full dose so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm afraid I will go backwards again. I don't like those feelings I get and I will usually take ativan when I get like that. I have managed to get myself down to .25 mg from 1mg. please pray for me. I need support...

I understand what you're going through and you have my support. You can do this. I will keep you in my prayers.

I too have had to rely on Ativan while getting used to my SSRI. It's not what I wanted but it really became mandatory. I try to take as little as I can to get by and my doctor assures me that we can get off of it safely. I see him today and will discuss it. I need to come off of ANYTHING slowly - I'm very sensitive to these things. I relate!
