Bad anxiety

Please help me. My anxiety and fear is so bad. And I'm afraid of it. I was recently cut to 2.5mg of klonopin and the anxiety is worse. I can't take it anymore. I've been dealing with this for 4 years. I can't stop being afraid of the anxiety.

Hello

This is how the anxiety controls us by the fear it is what it feeds on and I know it is easier said than done to stop fearing but you have to ask yourself in the 4 years that you have been suffering with anxiety what is the worst that has happened ? I know the feelings it gives us feel dreadful but we are still here

It sounds like the cut in medication is to much for you and you need to go back and speak with your Doctor they could increase the dose again or try you on something else , not sure if you have had any therapy but that could be something else you could discuss with your Doctor to , we need all the support we can get and I hope you have friends and family that try to support you even though it can be hard for them to understand but you always have people on here that will understand you so keep talking and taking the good advise what is offered it really all will help and as they say this to shall pass but also it is one of those things that can take time and we have to be really patient with ourselves but you will get there

Take Care x

How thorough has your doc been? Have you had your hormones and thyroid checked? Have you had blood work? Have you seen a naturopath about vitamins, minerals, etc? Funny thing is, if anxiety is caused by something physical, it is never deadly..just annoying as hell.

You have made it four years, so you could make it another 400. However, you need to get a doc who can get the bottom of this so you can relax and enjoy life WITHOUT the anxiety.

I am in the same boat and have an appt the 28th. Crossing my fingers for me and for you!

When you feel like this sometimes as hard as it sounds you have to wait till it passes and it always does

How about a warm relaxing bath , snuggle up on the sofa and maybe some relaxing music on in the background

You could go on You Tube and put in Meditation for anxiety or relaxation for anxiety you will get lots come up as what suites one does not always suite another and you could give that a go

If your bladder hurts make sure you are getting plenty of fluids and if you really feel so bad that you cannot wait to see a Doctor on Monday then if you are in the UK phone the NHS Helpline

Keep talking on here and I hope as others log on they will read your post and give you more helpful suggestions x

Should I call my doctor. I'm very scared I won't get better

Hello puppy

If you feel you need a Doctor then call one

I think the fear you are feeling will be making matters worse but if it will help you by speaking to someone like a Doctor then give them a ring

I personally think you will get better though and hope you will come and let us know how you get on x

You have to accept the fear and symptoms and not fight them. Is the only known way. You cannot wish it or exercise it away. I play video games and workout to distract it but you're not healed until you can sit in the quiet and be fine with your own thoughts. Easier said than done believe me I know.
