Introduction

Heya!

Been lurking for a bit, but now finally mustered the courage to post. I'm Naesin.
Now a bit about me. Im 33 and been dealing with Anxiety since the last few days of January. Its been rough. But I eventually ended up seeing a psychiatrist about the anxiety. Basically it started from not feeling rested after sleeping for 6-8 hours. So he started me on 50mg of Seroquel to try to help the sleep. It made the Anxiety manageable but I still get really tired after a few hours of being awake.

Fast forward to last week, I went in to see a sleep doctor and I have a home sleep apnea test coming up this weekend. So I am hoping that is the root cause of my anxiety.

Yesterday I saw my psych for the month followup and he wants me to start on Lexapro 10mg plus the Seroquel.
This is where my anxiety has kicked in a bunch. Im scared to take both at the same time, just my over active mind worried about the possible side effects.

My question is has anyone taken both of these before? If so how were the side effects?

P.S. Reading the posts here has really helped me cope with the effects of my anxiety. Its good to know im not alone in this.

Thanks!

Gonna take start it then when I get off work here in a few hours.

Ill do what you suggested. I do things for self help, mainly I am a big sci-fi buff so Netflix has been my best friend in helping not worry about my anxiety. That and MMO's.

Thanks for the suggestions, Hibee!

I have been having anxiety about being tired, too. I had a really bad experience with Lexapro and have decided to stick with just therapy for now. I seem to go in spurts - I'll do really well for a month or two and then have a bad week then it's fine again. Good luck to you ((hugs))
