I'm new...

[gigimich]

hi everyone. im new to this and im not really sure how to go about this. i suffer from depression and anxiety (also being a hypochondriac) i also struggle with my physical health which im trying to work on as well. im currently on lexapro and lorazepam & for my physical health im on metformin. (idk too much information) it doesnt seem to be working very well anymore so today i got my dosage increased but was told it would take about six weeks for me to see a difference. I also get a lot of anxiety driving and i cant seem to catch my breath when im behind the wheel. am i saying too much? i'll stop here for now but i hope to get to know some people through this that go through the same.

Welcome gigimich...there's no special protocol on this site. Just be yourself. You can say

as much as you want or as little. We don't judge, this is a safe, caring place for you to come and express your fears. We all have experienced them. Give us just as much information

that you feel comfortable with. By the way, I'm also on Lexapro FYI, regarding the

medication you had increased today, if you have already been on it, the increase shouldn't

take another 6 weeks (depending what med)

As for anxiety driving, I can tell you that practicing your breathing technique can help

immensely in controlling the adrenaline and fear. By being here with us, you will learn

from others how they handled the same issues. I'm glad you're here. xx
