> Me? Lousy. Right now, since 6PM last night, I'm downing enough Xanax to knock me out until there's a hope I can function at the same level of depression I was functioning at for the last few weeks. Yesterday was so bad, I figured the safest thing for me was to sleep through as much of it as I could. SO, massive doses of Xanax to keep me asleep until I thought i could be awake for a while. THis just happens to be the point where one dose wore off enough to wake me up, before the next dose took effect. Once the next dose kicks in, back to sleep for me.
Have you tried Zyprexa for anxiety? It's my miracle drug. I was taking Klonopin off-and-on for over a year, then added Risperdal, then replaced the Risperdal with Zyprexa, and voila! my anxiety might actually be "normal". I can't tell, I don't know how other people feel, but I don't have a constant feeling of dread.
I remember wanting to sleep through it all. Is there a reason why this is happening? Maybe you posted elsewhere and I missed it.
I'm feeling a lot better today than yesterday. It might be because I've been taking my Cytomel on an empty stomach, taking my vitamins regularly, or maybe just because the sun is shining--finally!
Hope you feel a little better when you wake up.
