Anyone like me?

I just wanted and almost need to know if there was anyone like me. My anxiety is pretty bad. It's always present. I'm ALWAYS nervous and anxious when there is no need to be. I used to get panic attacks but I really haven't had them recently. Just really bad anxiety and bad anxiety attacks throughout the day. Right from the moment I wake up I'm anxious and nervous with out any thought. I almost always have heart palpitations all the time.
My libido is non existent because of the chronic anxiety. It's basically anxiety about anxiety really and anything that can stress me out makes it worse. It's like when I'm busy it's not so bad and I don't really have social anxiety. It's basically when I try to relax it kicks in. It's very frustrating. I really do believe I have a chemical imbalance.
It's like i obsess and think about my health and anxiety so much I can't get any relief. Please don't suggest therapy because that's not really gonna help my case.
PLEASE is there anyone out there that was like me and found relief from medication? Did you get out of this vicious cycle of repetitive thoughts and feeling when medication kicked in? I am currently on Nefazodone and its doing nothing despite all the "great" reviews it's had.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time at the moment.

I can relate to your post as I struggle with anxiety on a daily basis and have done for as long as I can remember due to having Asperger's Syndrome. I am on a combination of medications which you will see in my signature and find they do help ease my symptoms but it's important to remember that medications are not a cure all they will only help ease your symptoms.

I like to use Mindfulness Meditation and do this daily and find this helps keep my anxiety in check even more so than the medication I take.

Hibee

It took me ages to found the right combo of meds to control my anxiety. Venlafaxine ended up being the winner for me. It still helps to have therapy as well though to identify and manage the thought patterns that lead to attacks.
