Hello,

It sounds like you are having a bad time more then a reaction or side effect to meds.

I find anytime something happens or changes quickly in life it can cause a rise in anxiety for ANYONE and for people like us it can be double or triple the anxiety and trigger that scary over active thought process of 1,000 questions and the would of could of should of game which starts worry and that cycle of fear. The fact that you have no control over what has happened I am sure can not help matters at all and I am sure your heart is a bit broken. I believe everything you are feeling is normal considering the situation. You have to try your best to do breathing exercises and positive affirmations while remembering deep down under all the anxiety, fear and worry, things will work out in time just the way they are meant to be. I truly am sorry you have to go through this and I hope you can find peace off and on through the days to come until all is as it should be.

Ty all for the support I had a real bad spell with my anxiety 4 yrs it took 6 months to get better been good for 3 years til this I hoped and prayed everyday I would never feel like that again granted I think my meds have me stable to a point last time it was withdrawal from my meds Dr took me off to quick what a nightmare good thing is I have lost 12 pounds since last Thursday
