So its been about 3-4 weeks since ive been on the wellubrution (how ever you spell it). I'm still on the cipralex coming up on 2 months in 2 weeks which i then should be getting off of it. The first weeks of taking the new meds i started getting better. Most of the day I felt normal. Some parts of the day i felt some symptoms but it was manageable and i didnt mind. Today I woke up at 5 in the morning and hour before i usually get up. I can feel my body all anxious. Like it's about to go into panic attack mode. I managed to not let it get to that point and fell back to sleep. Now i'm at work and my body feels as though its still in that mode.

Hi Kal,

That is frustrating...the be going along okay, and then to be hit by some seemingly random anxiety/symptoms.

I say seemingly, because when I have some anxiety that seems out of the blue...I can often pinpoint its source or trigger if I evaluate my current situation, and any hidden stress I am under.

Not just stressors either...even neutral or postive change can ramp up anxiety in us.

Even without any reasons behind it...breakthrough anxiety can just happen.

This doesn't have to be a set back. Just keep using those coping skills as you did this morning to get you through. We all have rough days here and there.

It is good to get it out and share...we undertand and are cheering you on.:)

Thank you. :) Yea it sucks but it seems the anxiety was in the morning im somewhat better now. Still feel it there a tiny bit but yeah. I've been doing everything my doctor said and practicing coping skills. As well as not thinking about the anxiety at all! I can say tho I haven't had to take a clonazapam or been to the er in a little over a month so its deffinitley a step forward :)
