Horrific Anxiety

[[4G...]]

I have had this condition now for about six years. It started off because I was rushing around doing too much. I realise this now but I didn't at the time.

 

So I had a breakdown with depression and anxiety and was hospitalised. They decided to put me on a cocktail of drugs. Some of these have changed over the years until I got to the stuff in my signature.

 

I am suffering so much. I have had sky high anxiety all day, which leads me to feeling I can't cope for one more day. Yet I can't do anything because I love my family so much.

 

What can I do? After all these years I don't know what is causing this. The original problem or the tablets. I don't think I can last much longer.  Thanks.

Gilles: I wanted to respond to your post.  It seems like you are making progress but not off of the valium yet, but so close.  I have struggled with many of the feelings you mention.  I take comfort in the hope that things will improve. According to Ashton, you may be very close to jumping unless you choose to taper all the way to "0".  I have been able to step back and see that I am much better than I was after my final taper, although the bad days discourage me.  I keep going forward.  Please know that you are cared about here.

Thank you so much AndrewLuke. It means a lot that you got back to me. I am trying to cut my tablets at the moment and it is not easy. Thanks again.  Gilly

I'm not very familiar with most drugs you have listed. But I thinks it's the original problem that's still causing you problems. Meds, maybe a little bit, too, since you're taking so many. For example, I've been on valium for a fair amount of time but I can clearly tell that the original problem is still the source of everything.

Hi, you are on 4 psychiatric drugs, plus tapering V!? I could be wrong but those meds have side effects. Maybe your anxiety is from the meds, or most of it. When I got off benzos my anxiety level went down a lot. I still have it, but not anything like it was.

Hi Gilly,

So sorry you feel bad but you will feel better in no time. i was on 4 different meds at one time but now i am on only

2 meds. It was a complete struggle but I am determined to get off on all my medications. I have been on medications

for over 23 years and I keep thinking what it would be like to be med free.

I'll pray for you Gilly :smitten :  Kim
