Worried and afraid

My wellbutrin dosage was raised from 150 to 300 mg a few weeks ago after a few panic attacks. Then I woke up with severe dizziness, nausea, and sweating, went to the er. All tests normal, and of course, I felt stupid for going in the first place. No more panic attacks, but constant worry, loss of appetite, don't want to go out. Do I call my doctor once again? Have called her 3 times in the last few weeks. Just want to crawl into bed and sleep. I know I am depressed, so I think I will need to add another antidepressant. Any recommendations on one with least amount of side effects?

IAAM,

Your new benzo Rx should indeed help you very much.....and assist in your increase challenge.

As I wrote in your other thread...doubling a dose can be tough, while your system adjusts.

Use your coping skills, and hang in there until things level out with time.

Sending encouragement,

Hi Iam
Sorry your still struggling. I am sure the meds will kick in soon , but until they do try as many coping skills as you can.
They will help you , some can be hard to master but once you get the hang of it they can make such a difference.

I still use coping skills morning and night even though i am 90 % anxiety free , I found a new one on you tube lat night by guy called James Stephenson .. It was a meditation but it covered every thing from breathing to muscles relaxing every part of your body.
Type his name in on You tube there are alot but i can tolerate his voice as some can be grating.

I understand your fear of traveling to a different place when your anx is high... I did it a couple of months ago... And HW came with me and supported me everystep of the way lol..
But it got me there and i was grateful of the encouragement and support.

But you will more than likely be feeling so much better by then .. so try to let it go for now and concentrate on each day ...

My Mantra I am strong .. I am calm.. I can do this got me through so much xxx

Sending you strength and encouragement xx

Your very welcome.....

When you have had anxiety to such a high level it is such a relief when things improve ....

That it really saddens me that there are so many people who suffer with it... It is horrible and delibitating .... If only a wave of a magic wand was possible 😐

Knowing you are not alone and can reach out .....get encouragement, support, and good wishes is a great help ... I did it with the help of HW... support and resources etc xx

I hope you can too
😊

Doubling a dose will definitely take some getting used to.

Definitely use those coping skills-- deep breathing, positive mantra's, etc. and it will help.

Everything will level itself out soon, just keep the faith! You got this!
