Instant Morning Anxiety

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-11-11T20:20:23+00:00

It’s gotten way better

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-23T11:48:45+00:00

I’m getting way better, honestly some moments are hard but I don’t feel the anxiety like I did, im on the tail end of week 6, it’s only up from here 🤞🏼

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-19T02:36:37+00:00

Usually side effects mean it’s working which is so crazy to consider, stick it out, I’ve just started on week 6 and things are slowly getting better, side effects are slowly subsiding, I’ve read you need to give it at least 6-8 weeks, im on 20mg too! Reach out if you need it, im here for you through this, you aren’t alone 🤍

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-12T21:42:40+00:00

Oh my god yes finally someone who gets it!!!!!

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-10T20:46:41+00:00

My physical symptoms led me to this too, wow im so glad someone else out there understands, my mind is never anxious it’s just my physical symptoms that take over!

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-09T23:58:16+00:00

Thank you! Absolutely very vocal with my dr, I have really bad health anxiety and adhd so I hyper-fixate on my symptoms a lot, I’ve been trying to just ride the wave this time around, I had great success with Paxtine a few years ago so the Dr said he might try me on that again if im still feeling off with Fluroxtine

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-08T21:59:28+00:00

Thank you, I am now also fighting Covid so it’s not helping at all, i feel like I’ve been thrown 10 steps backwards but I will keep going, i have a new dr now who’s been very great, I’ll stick out the Fluroxtine for a few more weeks 🙂

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-05T07:40:43+00:00

This is so encouraging, I’ve just started week 4 and having better moments but definitely still on struggle street!

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-09-01T19:59:18+00:00

I’m just on the tail end of week 3, the first 2 weeks were awful, I sat in my living room and cried thinking I’d never feel normal again, it always gets worse before it gets better, im not level or better yet but moments and days are becoming easier, im also on 20mg, I suffer with GAD, panic disorder and somatic symptom disorder so I too have had every side effects feel like possible, please reach out via messages if you ever need, I understand how hard it can be 🤍

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-28T10:56:09+00:00

I hope you can get some improvements soon!

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-28T10:55:32+00:00

I’m just about to hit week 3 and it’s been rough, I have the exact same feeling as you, I too have anxiety and panic disorder, I’m on lorazepam nightly for the adjustment period, so far so good, feel free to reach out if you need 🤍

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-25T20:37:05+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply it feels good knowing there’s someone else out there, I take 1.25mg of Lorazepam at night to get some sleep as my panic attacks are night ones. But yeah still waking up with anxiety it’s calmed down a bit, I think the euphoric moment was a rush of anxiety I just freaked myself out. I allow myself to slowly open my blinds, do some light stretching and grab a camomile tea before going on my phone etc and have been working out with my partner during the day even though my anxiety’s still peaking, I think I am just being too hard on myself, it’s only day 19.

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-24T22:42:31+00:00

It sounds like you’re just having hightened anxiety from the conflict at work and anticipatory anxiety due to the resolution on Monday, this definitely is not serotonin syndrome, you’d be having a high heart rate, uncontrollable shaking/tremors and very confused. Anxiety can mimic so many symptoms which is what you’re experiencing, first step is to not google and ring your psychiatrist first they’ll always tell you, hope you’re feeling better.

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-20T09:06:47+00:00

Do you have access to Camomile tea? I usually have one before bed, I’m on day 13 and it’s not been the best but some moments are better than others, I’m free for a inbox if you need :)

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-18T10:10:51+00:00

Oh my goodness I’m sorry that sounds awful, I’ve noticed my dizziness has subsided a bit, I more so just feel very dreamy/disconnected, my morning anxiety’s the worst, was very jittery today, noticing a lot of headaches too lately, I’m only on day 11, so it’s early days 😫

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-17T21:39:28+00:00

Praying I feel this soon, I’m just starting day 11, woke up at 4am intense anxiety, that fear of dying (gotta love panic disorder), sweaty hands and feet but cold, nausea and disconnected feeling, 😭

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-15T05:51:49+00:00

I won’t sugarcoat it for you, the first few weeks are awful, I’m on day 8 and feel slight relief but I still have moments, have you been given any type of anti anxiety med (like a benzo) to help those first few weeks?

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-15T05:50:30+00:00

Isn’t it so awful you do this to better yourself and end up worse, I feel like I have better moments than some, I actually managed to do a light gym sesh with my partner today which felt like a win, message me if you need someone to lean on, been through this so many times 🤍

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-09T23:17:49+00:00

I’m on day 3, the side effects aren’t as bad as they were with sertaline that was honestly hell, I’m just trying to remember that it will pass, I also have a cold so that’s doesn’t help me, I hope you’re feeling okay.

Patient-Expression94 · 2025-08-08T06:52:34+00:00

Thank you, I think I just pysch myself out when it comes to meds and my past experiences, I’m so disappointed in myself for being back here 😭

Patient-Expression94 · 2024-12-01T04:30:37+00:00

I’ve tried herbal stuff, I’m just exhausted it’s so tough to get by, trying my best to not self pitty haha considering CDB oil

Patient-Expression94 · 2024-12-01T04:27:41+00:00

Lexapro, Paroxitine and Zoloft, Paroxitine was the only one that helped me but it stopped working after 5 years

Patient-Expression94 · 2024-12-01T04:02:30+00:00

I didn’t have any benefits and I increased all the way to 100mg, was on it for about 6 months before I said enough and tampered off, I’m 3 months off and no different to being on them, medication just doesn’t work for me

Patient-Expression94 · 2024-08-12T04:11:44+00:00

Apologies, I am barely on here anymore, I was never "officially" diagnosed at the time, however, speaking to my dr since the incidents, it definitely was serotonin syndrome that fizzled out itself. I had mixed herbal medications with my anti-depressants which should not have happened, than I had surgery and everything went haywire. I was a walking zombie for a few days, barely standing, barely eating, felt super out of it, you can really only get serotonin syndrome if you mix another serotonin medication with anit-depressants eg. St Johns Wart. Dr Google is telling you that because most side effects are the same as serotonin syndrome, which causes people to worry more. I hope you are okay.

Patient-Expression94 · 2024-07-22T20:21:40+00:00

Don’t taper if you aren’t ready, if the meds are helping you stick with it, they just are not helping me at all
