One of those days when lots of questions are in my head.
Anyone else feel like their meds are changing them? Not necessarily in a bad way... but, to the point where you don’t feel like yourself? Ten weeks into treatment and I wish I could get off of all my meds because I really don’t feel like I know who I am anymore. I miss the old me.
As I "Don't know the old me" I know I wasn't the nervous type of person or easily frightened. I know little bits enough to get an outline of the "Old me " I worry that if I come off of my medications my anxiety would get worse or the crippling pain would be to much to bear . Is it worth going back to your Old self? Wouldn't it be great to be a better version of the Old self or is it wishful thinking on my behalf??
You didn't mention why you were on meds. If it's anxiety, you might want to consider therapy. You are not alone feeling like you are losing yourself. I've been there. You are still yourself, just probably perceiving yourself through a foggy brain. There is help. Keep trying.
I am on Zoloft 125 mg/day and currently weaning off Ativan. I had a hysterectomy in October and had medical trauma that resulted in anxiety and mild depression. I go to counseling twice a week. My issue is now that while the anxiety seems to be in check- I don’t feel like myself. Makes me question if the meds are right for me. I feel extremely disconnected, especially in the mornings.
Insight needed, losing hope
Lose of balance? Anxiety?
Is it normal to lose weight with anxiety?
