Not again

[Arieolguin]

so for a month I have been feeling pretty good. Getting decent sleep and kinda even forgetting about my anxiety. Then here lately seems like it’s coming back full force, and I’m even having attacks when I wake up again. I’m guessing I have hit the peak on the dosage of medication I was given. I don’t know but this feels like I have taken 20 steps back. Anyone have this happen to them??

I haven’t. When I started my anti anxiety meds I felt relief within the first few days. I never “hit a peak” as you say though I am unsure what that means. Maybe talk to your therapist about coping strategies for anxiety or speak with your doc about how the meds aren’t working as they should. 💜

A peak is like taking something for so long that it doesn’t really work like it did in the beginning, so like with medication they will up the dose. Which when I talk to my psychiatrist I am going to bring that up. If you don’t mind me asking what you take.

I found meds helped me see and feel like what "normal" could be like without anxiety but did not eliminate my anxiety. What happened to you is called a setback and is very common in dealing/healing anxiety. I suggest you learn how to constructively deal with anxiety/panic, I found the DARE Anxiety book and youtube videos to be very helpful in helping me resolve mine.
