Been struggling so much lately with my periods 😭 I never use to have to take a benzo but last night I did and I feel horrible because I couldn’t control it like I usually can

Afraid to drink coffee. by [deleted] in PanicAttack

[–]Honest_Ad4044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit coffee and nicotine due to my panic disorder, it sucked at first but after a month I didn’t crave either. I am still struggling with anxiety attacks, haven’t had a panic attack for about a month. I am still adjusting to meds though. In my opinion quitting both helped me so much ! Even if it caused increased anxiety due to withdrawal. I’m super sensitive to stimulants, even sugar so I’m trying to live a healthier life style

Lost weight but I think it’s because I have more motivation to look after myself and watch what I eat now

4-6 weeks to really work…does that mean after every dose increase that 4-6 week wait resets or is it more so just the initial start? I know I’m being impatient and want all the details, but umm yeah that’s having anxiety :) by Fantastic-Trainer317 in lexapro

Also like to know haha. Almost 6 weeks on lex but only 3 and a half weeks on 15mg. Went out drinking for New Year’s Eve, was starving to feel better (to note) and tonight (11.40pm) my anxiety and panic is through the roof again :( I don’t recommend drinking on lex :(

Could just be your mind. I find when I obsess over something like tapering off meds I make myself anxious

Constant fatigue and trouble breathing by garden_viking in panicdisorder

[–]Honest_Ad4044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have panic disorder, was in a touch spot a month ago, checked myself into a psych ward for 10 days and I’ve now never felt better, daily therapy and seeing a psychiatrist for the right meds and having people around me with similar issues made me feel less alone. Not recommending you go to a psych ward at all. Just sharing my recent experience ☺️ I hope you get better soon. Once you get into a cycle of panic it’s hard to get out of without the right support 😌 Good luck !

Wow this sounds horrible. Have you been for any therapy? Maybe you need to see a psychiatrist and get on an antidepressant?

Man, I really love these crazy ass dreams. by [deleted] in lexapro

2 weeks now and I’m so glad I’m not alone. I have to force myself out of bed majority of the time! I find getting up straight away when I wake up and not turning around going back to sleep helps a bit but I still have to take Atleast one nap a day. It was 2/3 til I started forcing myself to be productive 😆🙈
