I am suffering from anxiety and depression. I have super bad episodes of anxiety first thing in the morning and i am not able to bring it down. People say trying relaxation techniques and deep breathing and so on, but this anxiety episode does not let me do all these. Also, having 2 little daughters won't help with relaxation techniques. I am solely relied on my medicine. I don't have a good support system. I cannot talk to anyone about what i am going through because no one will understand. Which is why i am looking for a support system here.
I am taking paxil 37.5mg and trifluperazine 1mg. It's been 23 days i am taking these meds. when will i get full effects of these meds. My anxiety is killing me also those suicidal thoughts. Anyone had similar situation and if so, how long before these symptoms get better.
Thank you!!

I feel much the same right now. I can be very anxious upon awakening. One thing you might try; walking meditation. If you can get some time to yourself, walk around the block, and simply count 1-2-3-4 in time with your steps.
I have found this works better for me then trying to sit still for 20 minutes. Especially when I'm anxious, my mind darts all over the place. Walking gives me something easy to focus on.
Jkse, I totally understand what you're going through. I took 75ml off & on for 15 years. After losing my dear mother, I knew I needed help because I wanted to drive off a cliff in Big Sir, CA. Paxil took 30 days to effect me but soon after my Dr increased dose to 75 (xr)
I felt great. I couldn't even cry. Believing I was prescribed a "miracle" drug. I apologize for not responding sooner. Give it a little longer. I had a routine every morning to find 10 things I was grateful for. Earplugs in, Utube on TV (with dark screen) of rain. Even just for 2 minutes, I thank my creator for life. I too had 2 daughters but in Jr & High School and a husband addicted to crack cocaine. Life was difficult. Regardless, this could very well be your answer 🙏 I will lift you up in prayer and sending positive vibes your way!
I no longer take antidepressants, anti anxiety or mood stabilizers. I give the glory to my God. (No offense) Please let me know if you want to email.
