[Vicky810]

I feel like my life is over can't go to school or work can't have fun anymore like I use to ... I'm scared of everything that's going on.. I'm scared to take my new medication Effexor because I feel like I might not do well or it might get worse .. I can't stand to be around my baby at Times ...I'm just plain ole scared y'all ... I'm feeling physically ill almost everyday maybe it's cause I'm not get the proper sleep idk ... I just what to be normal again I was doing sooooooooo well until my delivery ... ..

Would you know normal or remember normal? I know I would not. This is life now, at least for me and I feel for you so very much. I am there too. I get a med, read about it, get scared. I am a disaster

I hate we have to go through this

[Mzemma01 in reply to Vicky810]

Yes it sucks and I hate it as well. Not a good feeling at all.

[Hidden in reply to Vicky810]

It is awful. Are you creative? I have found most people who are creative in some fashion go through this.

[Vicky810 in reply to Hidden]

Not that I know of 😏 I mean ... I use to play the alto sax I'm high school but I wasn't a professional at it 😏

I just took a new med yesterday. I am never certain if I am having a reaction to them or just manifest it with my fears

[Vicky810 in reply to Hidden]

Me and u both ... the pharmacist told me that "don't just get off my meds" "to wait till my doctor said so because you don't want to just get off of like that" I guess because they would do something ?!?! but, I don't think she should have said it like that because now I'm spooked... cause it's like what if I miss one ?? will I go loony tunes😒😞😖 by the way have u been of Effexor before?

My husband takes Effexor and he missed 2 pills cause he ran out and had bad anxiety and got a bad headache as he was super sensitive to light . As soon as he took his pill he was fine.

I am on lexapro and have just weaned down from 20mg to 10mg and am having lots of withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, dizziness,jitters, burning sensation,nausea exc.... I think I want to get off of this as it has caused mor problems then good lately but withdrawals are scary!

Do you have to take meds? Have you ever tried an alternative route?

[Vicky810 in reply to Pre_van]

Yes I don't want to and I have tried the exercises to try to help me but my anxiety is so far gone that that doesn't help 😏😖

[Vicky810 in reply to Cares179]

Thank u for responding 😊

[Pre_van in reply to Vicky810]

Have I asked you yet if you've had your hormone levels checked? Or even thyroid?

[Vicky810 in reply to Pre_van]

No, but thank u for mentioning I will go get that checked

[Vicky810 in reply to Cares179]

Thank u for responding😊😊

Are you active? I have found being active really helps with every day life, especially rigorous activity like hiking, running, biking and swimming. Vitamin D to sleep. It takes a while but has really worked for me. Consult an alternative doctor like a naturopath. Western docs are prescription happy.

[Vicky810 in reply to Pre_van]

Thank u I will look into that 😊

And I just started going to the YMCA to swim
