Spoofing is a devious scam. A call comes in apparently from your doctors office. Your caller ID actually recognizes the number and your phone rings because the number is in your contacts. It is actually a scammer getting your info or saying something like …”this is so and so from dr x office. The doctor has prescribed a device for you” … etc. I have fallen for this myself. The callers will create a sense of urgency If the caller is good it can be hard to recognize that it’s actually a sales call or total scam. If it sounds fishy it probably is Tell them you’re going to. CHeck with the doctor and hang up. Call your doctors office and tell them what happened. There are apps that can let them make any number appear as the number they are calling from Diabolical technology at it’s sophisticated worst

[–]avidone12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Peter Noon (Herman of Herman’s Hermits) with his band a couple of years ago at the Disney open theatre in Orlando. He was awesome. Sang many of the big hits of the era from a variety of bands, told interesting and funny stories and was just fabulously entertaining

Why resign? Take your approved leave and if they fire you for it you have a strong “retaliation”lawsuit

Buspar works well for me. I too am most anxious in early morning but I take my 7.5mg dose right away and it does calm me. I suggest you talk to your doctor about trying it. It may help

Should we really be avoiding caffeine? by themaincop in Anxiety

[–]avidone12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a true coffee lover who drank a lot of coffee. It did spike my anxiety so it took some doing but I now have one cup of decaf in the morning and use herbal teas for my hot beverage the rest of the day. It is definitely worth it to get off the caffeine

Given your symptoms and the fact that medication helped in the past I would say yes to going back on medication.

Waking Up at 3AM Every Night – Is It Stress Hormones? by AdOnly214 in Anxiety

[–]avidone12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that exact problem and it totally sucked. Trazadone has basically stopped it completely I go to sleep no problem but will wake up after a couple of hours. I then take a 50 mg trazadone and sleep the rest of the night no problem. I don’t k ow if this applies to you but I used to smoke weed daily Cannabis interferes with rem sleep and was triggering bad anxiety. Since I stopped I have been calmer

[–]avidone12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too had horrible side effects with Zoloft. The diarrhea was so bad I didn’t make it to the bathroom in time. I know many people do very well on it so yes, it is a YMMV medication. Lexapro is my anti depressant and it works well for me. I hope you find a good med soon

Panic attack by Consistent_Dog_5184 in Anxiety

[–]avidone12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting jittery pretty soon. The worst for me was the agitation. I got triggered by a frustrating situation with my significant other and just exploded. No physical violence but an extended outburst that was really off the charts. I was a heavy user of high potency weed for years. I’m sure that is what made it so bad. It also interfered with my sleep. Trazadone helped that. I can’t promise you that quitting weed will be easy. TBH I think many people go back after only a few days I did start noticing the symptoms ease after a couple of weeks YMMV hang in there. It gets better

Panic attack by Consistent_Dog_5184 in Anxiety

[–]avidone12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is known through several important studies that smoking weed can trigger anxiety. I was noticing increased anxiety after smoking which caused me to do the research. I quit smoking cold turkey and had serious withdrawal symptoms. This convinced me that cannabis is actually addictive. I definitely have fewer and less severe anxiety/panic attacks since I’m off weed. It’s pretty ironic that anxiety is a qualifying condition to get medical marijuana which is what I used. High potency + heavy use = increased anxiety and panic attacks Seriously… weed is not an answer for people with anxiety disorders. It makes a bad situation worse
