 Day 3 and I feel weird.  I feel like I cant swallow, anxious , scared, I want to RUN RUN RUN!!!!

Please remind me what are some anxiety symptoms you get when you are anxious or in panic mode.  I want to feel better, I hate this. 

Thank you

When I am anxious, I get heart palpitations, jittery feeling throughout my whole body; I can't sit still and focus on my breath at all as everyone says you need to do, I have to "walk it off"; feelings of dread that the worst is happening...etc etc.

It'll be okay. Your body just needs to adjust to the new dose. Keep yourself busy. YOu're strong and will get through it.

You are stronger then you are letting yourself believe, Bam. You can do this!!!!!! I know the added side effects of increasing are hard, but you can get thru them.

Bam,

Talk to your doctor and see if you can increase your clonasapam (Klonopin) for a short time while you are adjusting to the increase. It will calm you down and make you relaxed.
What you are experiencing is normal anxiety symptoms and it is due to the increase in your medication. Be sure that this will pass. It is just your body getting used to the increased dose. We are all here to support you. You are among the best supporters here on HealingWell.

Hi Bam

Increasing medication can be a difficult but things should settle in a week so stick with it if you can and double up on your coping skills to help deal with the extra anxiety.
