Losing my mind???

[NiBa5]

I feel losing my mind. I’m on recovery from PAWS and a subsequent depression. I just took Hydroxyzine Pam but it doesn’t help me.

Hello Grace. You are not losing your mind. You just had a very bad dream and experience. I know you are quite anxious. It will be ok. You will calm down. I wish you the best.

Thank you for responding

I feel so unstable and try to calm down

I’m so sorry you are still suffering so much.

Hydroyzine was prescribed to me for anxiety and sleep issues last year, and it didn’t help me either. I just got drowsy and felt lethargic on it.

Don’t give up, there is something that is going to help you, just haven’t found the right thing or combo.

Thank you for responding. It means a lot. Truly appreciated it. I haven’t taken Hydroxyzine Pam for a long time. But I feel so so u stable this morning.. I don’t have any other med for anxiety.

I know you don't have any other meds for anxiety. You don't take benzos. You will calm down. You are just having a very bad day. You have not been anxious for a while. This will pass. I know it is very distressing and uncomfortable. To say the least.

I did on you since you’re my good friend. Thank you J for a quick response

[JCPrague in reply to NiBa5]

Yes, please take care. I am thinking of you. I know how difficult it is.

I feel a bit calmer.... writing helped and distracted me. I don’t know what happened in my head but I was soooooo scared and panicky. Thank you for your friendship to me.

This drug lingers on into the next day due to its long half life. I too hated the way I felt on it.

Hang in there, power through the best you can. I don’t reccomend the trazodone this is the med I came off of that caused my PAWs, terrible med to come off and with your situation you don’t need that.

If you need to talk through this until you feel better, pm me. I get this completely, been there. 🌺💜

Thank you for your help. You helped me before a lot. I know it’s terrible hard to Bering back my brain back. I remember you told me before with encouragement. Thank you so much again.

Hello I am not up to date on your issues, but I pick up on a sleep problem, I have had those, now I take 100 mg Trazadone at bed time, I sleep sound and solid, only an occasional bad dream, can you talk to your Dr. Sending hope, love n hugs.......Sprinkle 1......

[NiBa5 in reply to Sprinkle1]

Thank you for your response. Truly appreciated it. Writing helps me to distract me. Hydroxyzine Pam helped me a lot when I had a sleeping problem before. I don’t have a problem in sleep anymore now. I took Trazodon 50mg only once . I couldn’t get up all day next day. I’m on Prozac that causes me a nightmare. I know it but it’s hard with my condition.

You and I both. I am on 4 medications, My Dr. had me on 4 Xanax a day for 12 plus years and NOW of all times he decreased my to 3 a day. I was still a Anxious on 4 a day. I'm having a Breakdown! I hope you feel better. I know personally how you feel. I have been dealing with this for 30 yrs now. 😭😢

[NiBa5]

Thank you for responding for my fear and confusion. It helped me a lot. I feel a bit better with Hydroxyzine Pam that’s antihistamine for anxiety that I haven’t taken it for many months. I only on Fluoxetine 40mg. I don’t take Benzo.

You seem to be taking alorazoram a lot.... it’s hard to deal with anxiety and breakdown. I feel you. It’s a life long condition. I went through that phase this time when I had PAWS.. It was horrible, I was on Lorazepam for several months till my anxiety subsided.

just set up a diffuser with lavender.

Hope you feel better

Take care Grace. I am glad you feel better now. I hope tomorrow is a much better day.
