In the eight years I have been battling anxiety, I finally found a med today that nailed it. Yes, I know that every medicine affects everyone differently. Yes, I know this is one day. But it is one more level day that I have had in the last eight years so cheers to that.
I started on Lamictal on Friday and told my pdoc today I couldn't calm down. I got 25 mg of Seroquel TODAY. Yes, it knocked me out for about an hour. Yes, it made me feel a little out of it. But more importantly, it addressed the anxiety that has been ravashing me for the last eight years (I'm 34).
I know it is a med for bi-polar. My grandmother was bi-polar, the manic type. I didn't have the same symptoms, but perhaps some of the same genes. I have racing thoughts, obsess on worry, and feel an andrenaline rush on my mind all the time.
I think I have tried every med in the book over the last eight years, and nothing hit it like this. This gives me hope. I'm on the right road, thank God. Again, I don't know if it will work tomorrow, but it did today and I am thankful for that.
I appreciate everyone's input on this board. It is so informative and supportive. Michael
