Well it's been about 2 weeks now on medication guys and I'm about 50% back to normal.

I'm able to have some good days in between and a few bad but nothing terrible like before thank god๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Still having light sensitivity and sunlight bothers me

Other then that the panic attacks have gone down

So everyone starting meds

Keep on going there is a light at the end of the tunnel

Just keep it up :)

Please give positive feedbacks only. Thank you

I was taking generic lexapro and weaned myself off. It made me more dizzy and foggy brained. I have become a complete hypochondriac and need help

Everyday whether at work or home, I feel stressed, nervous, and woozy headed. Doc prescribed me xanax 1mg a day and it helps but once I start getting nervous, the symptoms get worse. I have learned drinking too much coffee makes it 5 times worse.

I've noticed caffeine makes anxiety worse for everyone.

I haven't drank coffee in a while

โ€ข in reply toSam001

I love my coffee greatly but it does make my anxiety so bad. A strong cup the other day caused a small panic attack...I think it's time to call it quits on the cup of Joe for me ;)

Do it slowly. I have learned if you stop All caffeine cold turkey, the withdrawals are horrible. I drink one cup of regular coffee and 2 cups of decaf.

โ€ข in reply tomdooms

Thank you so much for that advice...I do know about the withdrawals already went 2 days without coffee once abd the headache I had was unbearable. Drank the cup of coffee and the headache was gone. They say caffeine is the #1 drug in the world. :/

I love coffee but 4 k cups in 2 44oz cups is overkill for me. I am cutting way down now.

Quitting will be the best option but I must do it slowly
