seriously panicking

Didn't sleep last night. The anxiety kept me awake. I'm very afraid that my effexor is not gonna work this restart time around. Insomnia might be a part of the side effects too.
I really don't know how I'm gonna function while I wait.

Plus if it doesn't work. .maybe nothing else will either 😢I know everyone has been through this stage but I'm panicking

Hi

Stick with it as it can take a couple of weeks to notice any improvements.

If things don't improve you need to go back and speak with your doctor.

Keep us posted.

Hi cooper
This is my 3rd time going back on it.
It has worked in the past with an increase.
What if it doesn't work this time?
Can't stop panicking, I'm tired but I think the start up effects of these meds are also insomnia and anxiety.
I'm so sad. Can't do this anymore

How long have you been back on the medication Sadgirl? If it's only been a couple of weeks, you will have to hang in there...I know it is hard, I get the same feelings, and so has Rspwed. You are definitely not alone!!

We have to believe that we will all get better soon! Are you trying to keep busy or are you sitting and dwelling on your feelings? I know how hard it is to do something when I dwell, but for me, it really helps if I do something constructive or tedious to keep my wicked mind busy. Sometimes I have to rely on my fiancé or my father to come over and pull me out of the house, take me shopping, or to dinner, or make me clean my house...just anything to keep busy.

I know the panic is hard...my morning was pretty bad today too. But, there has to be light at the end of this tunnel. And we will get there!!
