Down to only $ Meds!

Well, I'm down to just four meds a day! I take the paxil in the morning, an ativan around 11:00 and ambien and protonix at night. The protonix is for stomach acid control. I've actually had a decent week. I'm back at work and after 3 weeks, the paxil is helping. The anxiety is now a feeling of nervousness which goes away with the ativan. I'm hoping to stop the ativan and ambien soon. I want to thank everyone for their comments and support this past month.

My issue now is kinda strnage. When I'm feeling pretty good, I get this idea in my head that I'm not supposed to be feeling good and start feeling anxiety again. I'm not sure where that is coming from. Its like I'm not worth of being okay again. I'm holding on to guilt from past mistakes and don't know how to truly let them go. I have to remind myself that God loves me and wants me to live a good life. Has anyone else had thoughts like this?

I think alot of us anxiety sufferers have a guilt complex as well. Every time my anxiety flares up, terrible guilt accompanies it. Even guilt from mistakes made a long time ago. I am a christian and believe God forgives, but I just can't seem to let it go. I just keep praying and searching for peace.
