> I am just so dang restless and frustrated. I don't know why. I'm so anxious. I didn't take my Geodon. I haven't been sleeping and my pdoc wanted me to stop taking it till he can pull my chart on tuesday. but today i really got anxious. would say it's the geodon but i didn't take it. so i ended up taking it just a bit ago. i hope it calms me down. i get this way every month. it seems to have something to do with my menstrual cycle. But when i was taking klonopin it was gone. no panic attacks, no anxiety. but i don't think he'll put me back on it. he didn't take me off it, the pdoc in the hospital did. he said it's too easy to kill yourself on the stuff and they thought i was suicidal. i kinda was but wouldn't have gone through with it. anyhow, i need the klonopin now and i don't think he'll put me back on it. but who knows. i need something to calm me down. ughhh

Can you force yourself to sit still and take deep breaths? Can you alternate pacing a bit or getting some kind of physical exercise to wear off a little of the anxiety and then do the deep breaths thing? Trying to get rid of overwhelming anxiety without meds is like trying to stop a waterfall with a toothpick but it's all I can offer except prayers.Hang in and get to a doc ASAP.
