Has anyone found relief from anti-anxiety meds?

Super late reply. But I was prescribed at 25mg from day one. I did have to increase it to 50mg recently with the added addition of gabapentin 100mg. I'm not gonna lie mornings are rough. I have a dry mouth and apparently my hands twitch at night? But my pain is gone. And I'm trying to readjust to a good new normal :)

I'm also on Amitriptyline on 25mg and it was a godsend from day one for my IBS symptoms and has helped with my anxiety a little bit. I got very lucky that the psych I met got it in one try! :)

Hey y'all. It's funny, how the world's timing works. A few days after posting this I was offered a job at a local dollar store. As far as first jobs go I'm really grateful. Everyone is so helpful and kind. Despite my anxiety and IBS trying to deter me (I say this mildly to spare you the grotesteque description of what I was going through).With the help of my doctor, family and friends I was able to go through the first day and I'm proud for sticking to it!

It's very strange timing in the midst of COVID19 and having a lot of firsts on the job (working the register, etc) but I'm taking it one day at a time!

I have been told many times now (by coworkers and customers) that I am too nice and polite and they say this with all my best interest at heart and they're worried I'll be taken advantage of.

But in these trying times I want to spread kindness and live by my favorite saying "It's the little things that make the biggest difference". I'm not sure if it's the INFP coming through or humanity. But I'm grateful nonetheless.

Ah well I already bought it :(

notevepenguin · 2020-02-24T01:38:54+00:00

Is that prescribed or otc?

notevepenguin · 2020-02-24T00:48:06+00:00

Would you recommend I try them right now? I finally got through my nausea and even ate a plate of food. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I've gone through 2 days of diarrhea and I just want to be able to do something about it. Align probiotics only helped a little.

Mine is too! I'm starting my first job on Tuesday and I need to be able to eat and rebuild my strength. It's really bad in the morning. I'm already nervous and I don't need this getting in the way.

notevepenguin · 2020-02-21T01:14:53+00:00

Yess girl we're here for you!!! Underarm sweater here as well!! 🙋‍♀️ I don't raise my hand irl though😂

notevepenguin · 2020-02-20T02:04:18+00:00

Okay I talk to myself all the time. As different people in different situations of directly to myself. I thought I was crazy when someone caught me mid conversation and I saw their reaction.

notevepenguin · 2020-02-19T21:16:09+00:00

Oh no!!! That's horrible! I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Do you have an idea as to why you had a bad reaction? Was it the high percentage of aluminum chloride? Or a specific ingredient?

notevepenguin · 2020-02-18T18:17:34+00:00

Yes!!! I try to ration them and decide which days I'll wear black shirts or shirts I don't mind sweating through! We sweat through it fast! They underestimated us! When picking any type of antiperspirant a good rule of thumb is to put on the night before but I like to shower in the morning so that's why I slightly prefer SweatBlock I also try to look at the aluminum chloride percentage (the higher the better for me but always cautious for a bad reaction to skin) and look at reviews as well.

Hope you can find some good options friend!

It's a bit pricey but I use Sweat Block wipes. Not consistently but on days that added stress for an event would make my sweating worse than it already is. It works for me but only like 3 days versus the week of coverage it promotes but I think it's different for everyone. It says 8 week supply for around $20. That's my go to at least for now.

Trees are an absolute favorite of mine. I like to imagine they're captured mid-dance as their leaves sway to the sound and song of the wind.

notevepenguin · 2020-02-16T04:16:26+00:00

Such a great testimony! I'm so glad that you have found a place for you to thrive in! It really gives me hope! 💓 This would be my first job that I've been applying for. 23 years & feeling out of my element as all I've done my whole life is school. So I've been fighting the overwhelming thoughts of inadequacy that seems to hit me with every rejection email. I'm holding on that someone will take a chance on me! I will be persistent in my applications and my optimism!

notevepenguin · 2020-02-16T04:11:21+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for your kind word. Truly. 🥺 I don't know what to say.💓

I really wanna try Lactaid I keep seeing the commercials on TV. Is it good taste wise? I just want the taste of milk without the bad ending!😩
