In reply to HELP..WHEN WILL THE ANXIETY END!!!!, posted by mystic on March 8, 2004, at 7:10:21
Don't give up Mystic! You are almost there! 4 weeks is not that long for this med. I experienced the same feelings of anxiety as you are feeling now and I got through. So can you! Please give it more time and maybe increase your dose like your doc suggested. I am increasing tonight and will let you know what I experience tomorrow. I am thinking of you and really wish I could be there to give you a hug. Did you call a therapist? Having someone to discuss this with face to face may really help. Please do it. Hoping for a better tomorrow for you. By the way, when do you take your lex. Maybe you should try a different time. I have always taken mine right before bed and the anxiety (when I have it) comes in the morning and is gone by afternoon. By bedtime I feel nice and sleepy. In the beginning I would only get about 5 hours of sleep per night but that has gotten much better. I can sleep as much as I want now. Just a thought for you. Have you tried any anti-anxiety strategies? Maybe watching a favorite TV show, music, taking a walk, etc. Anything that normally relaxes you will help. Sometimes we are so in tune to how our bodies are feeling that it can cause anxiety if something feels "off". Try to get your mind on something else. We're hear for you if you need us. Mrs. C
