Currently Suffering And Need Help

[LettersfromE]

I started Wegovy to help with my weight but it has triggered my anxiety. I'm in a chronic state of fear and depression. I feel horrible 24-7. I've discontinued using Wegovy but it is still in me. I can't sleep and my mind won't stop racing. I have Prozac but it does nothing for how I'm feeling. I'm desperate to not feel like this anymore. Does anyone have tip or tricks?

Hi

Maybe you should call your Dr

🐬

I would but I recently lost my insurance so I joined Cerebral but they are taking their time on approving my account. I'm stuck and it's rough.

[bethelbee in reply to LettersfromE]

Maybe your doctor's office can give you a reduced rate until Cerebral approves you. Sorry you're having a rough time....

[LettersfromE in reply to bethelbee]

I tried to get my previous doctor to redo my prescriptions but because I moved away they didn't feel comfortable with refilling it. I do have an appointment tomorrow with a Cerebral doctor. I hope I can get this all fixed. Thank you for your concern. I'm alone in this struggle so all the suggestions make me feel visible instead of invisible. I do appreciate it.

Hope things work out with the Cerebral doctor!)

Wegovy stays in your system for awhile. I was just thinking you might need something to help your anxiety.

You are in a tough spot with no insurance. What type of things do you do to calm yourself? Sounds like you may have to ride it out.

Maybe call a pharmacist see if they have any thoughts or information for you.

I've tried melatonin to sleep. It doesn't work for me. I get 2 hours in at the most. I played YouTube calming music for anxiety, cleaning, and working out, the 333. That terrifying doom, I'm a failure, lingers. I've been trying to keep it together but I feel so frantic. I thought writing this out would make me feel bit better. I will try calling a pharmacist and see what they can do. Thank you for your in put I do appreciate it.

[Dolphin14 in reply to LettersfromE]

Try and stay focused that it won't be with you forever. The pharmacist can help you project how long it will stay in your system

Continue to use those coping skills.

I hope you feel better soon

If you have a yard or are near a park of lake, get out and go for a walk. I also use these yoga videos when I'm spiraling. You don't need to get into the positions fully, just as far or as close as your body lets you. She also has an amazing set of yoga basics videos on youtube - all free. youtube.com/results?search_...

Thank you! I will look into it! I will try anything to not feel this way.

I'm sorry your going through this right now. A couple of my last resort go to are watching funny movies, and putting on some music and dancing. Music from the 80s is peppy and is a blast from the past so it might brighten your mood.

it depends on how many milligrams of Prozac you take. I’m at 20 mg, but your doctor may need to raise it.

[LettersfromE in reply to Tomv1149]

I'm currently on 5mg. It feels like it does nothing. I have this itchy burning sensation from my hands to my face but I can't tell if it's the Prozac or the Wegovy causing it. I agree it probably needs to be raised because the anxiety is debilitating. I'm also on Olanzapine but I ran out which was a huge factor in my current mental state. I can't sleep without it.

[Tomv1149]

I know how you feel about anxiety. It’s crippling. I’m struggling now. Waiting for my gabapentin to kick in.

Update (not a good one)

I got to talk to my doctor and got prescribed new medication but the system went down so my perceptions never went through. Cerebral couldn't fix the issue and told me to wait for 1 to two days. Honestly, I broke down crying. I have money, I got the prescription but I can use it because of a computer error. Another night of no sleep and I'm dreading it. I thought today was going to be it. I would finally be out of this hell but now I'm left with "We don't know when we can fix this". I'm like I don't know how much longer I can survive like this.
