Panic and anxiety
| Tue, 01-25-2005 - 12:13pm |
I am having so much anxiety. It is hanging on so tight. I can't get a break. I have been having this for three days now and it lasts all day and at night I keep jumping in my sleep and waking up scared. I am shacking, tense and afraid. I don't know where this all came from. I just started to feel like this for no reason...at least not a reason I can see. My pdoc took my off my 3mgs of Risperdal and put me on Seroquel at night for sleep. He took my off the Risperdal on Wednesday...almost a week. Could I be having withdrawls?Maybe I should call my pdoc. I don't know what to do. I know I am hating these feelings. It is always something...UGH!

Tina...
Oh honey...I know how you feel...it could be the Risperdal...call your pdoc, you never know...
I'm so tired of mood swinging that I don't know what to do...I'm cycling VERY rapidly...like 3 or 4 times a DAY...I'm SOOOO tired of it...
I don't know how to get any relief for myself...and don't feel like much help to anyone...all I can do is care, and let you know you aren't alone...
Everyone seems to be struggling...maybe its just January???
Tina,
Hi! I agree with Keli. You should call your pdoc. It could very well be withdrawl from the R.
Your anxiety sounds awful! Hopefully it will be over soon. I know that's not much help.
Love,

Love,
Tina,
Hang in there. I know how you feel. I'm sure we all do. I definately think you should talk to your doc. In the meantime, you could try meditation, anything that may help. I just got over a state of constant anxiety. I too woke up scared and anxious. I was jumping at the slightest sound even in situations that were obviously safe (sitting in my doc's office, e.g.). It was tough to do it but I meditated every day. For me it's just a little visualization about calming a storm...there's more to it than that, if you want to know I'll post the whole thing.
And Keli... I too have been ultra rapid cycling for the last week, ugh. And yes everyone does seem to be struggling. It is January - did anyone see the news on MSN about Jan 24 being the most depressing day of the year??
Hugs to everyone. We can all get through this. We've done it before and we'll do it again.
