I can't handle this! I have had really good control over my anxiety and panic for the last couple years but it seems like the last few months right before my period I freak. (Like right now) I start...
Arrrggghhh!!! another morning with anxiety. I hate this!!...
I was just reading that threat kitt :) Thanks. I am so grateful for this wonderful healing family and the supportiveness everyone here has to offer. Much love <3 Deb...
Thank You! I tend to move slowly in the mornings and maybe if I get up and get going the anxiety will cease. I was unaware of the physical reasons for this morning anxiety and hope that just knowing...
It seems that when I wake up in the morning my anxiety is so high and then as the day goes on it fades. I take .5 klonopin before bed and when I wake. Does anybody else feel this way? Deb...
Thank you for your supportive words. Saw my CBT today and he thinks I got the stomach virus and that caused my anxiety. And like you said Kit..the depression and anxiety go hand in hand. Time to do...
Hi all. It has been quite some time since I have posted. In spring of 2008 I was diagnosed with panic/anxiety disorder. After intense CBT I was doing great. But of course, these wonderful feelings...
Have fun Kitt! You deserve it!...
I have been doing really good with my anxiety/panic for the last year or so...until earlier this week when I came down with some stomach bug. The flu like symptoms really made my anxiety shoot...
Thanks everybody. Saw my physc today and had me up my klonopin to where I was at before. He said he thought that I may have had a stomach virus and that being sick causes anxiety. When I am sick to...
I agree with the turning on fans, biting nails, checking my pulse, taking my temperature to see if I am running a fever because the feeling of being really hot and sweating. My worst symptom is the...
:shakehead: Hey everybody! Well it's been quite awhile since my last post. My CBT and meds have done wonders for the past year! This week I have an appointment with my pysch and we having been...
Just wanted to check in with all these dear people who have helped me soo much! You guys are wonderful! I have been doing really well! I have a wonderful boyfriend, great family...adjusted to going...
Just wanted to update everyone, my psych recommended I go to my PCP. I did that afternoon and I had a sinus infection! The reason my throat hurt so bad is because I was so congested that when I was...
Thanks guys. I have an appt. with my psych I gotta leave for in a few min. He's an MD so I'm gonna run in by him and hopefully get into my PCP today or tomorrow. Maybe I have strep throat. The...
Yes, I still have my tonsils. I hate the stinkin thinkin! I think I make it worse too by just laying in bed and not getting up when I wake up! Just trying still to adjust to my funky schedule! This...
Hi all! The past few days I have been waking up with really bad sore throats. Today when I woke up, not only did it hurt (and it basically hurts on the right side) but my lymph node on the right side...
well, each day is alittle better. It is a good thing that the people I work with are so happy and try to have a good time and joke around. It makes the day, or night I guess, go alot better. Plus I...
I agree with crying. You are such wonderful people and a gift from God. I am so grateful for this wonderful family! (((HUGS to all!))) Deb...
Thank you again. It is great to know that there are people out there who can relate and care. My therapist says I'm a people pleaser and have to get over it. You can't always please everyone. "It's...
As of right now I can not change my shift. Originally that is what I had signed on for and need to just slowly adjust to the change. Once I am there it is not that bad. People are very positive and...
I have not mentioned it to my boyfriend because I don't want to put that on him. I don't want to hurt his feelings or make him feel intimitated. I just rather get rid of this other guy and move on...
Hi all! So I returned to work last Wednesday after being on disability for a little over a month. Last week I worked 1st shift and this week I started working from 6:30 p.m. to like 3 a.m. It is...
Crying, I agree with kitt about the crying. Sometimes just letting it all out through tears can help. Also, my therapist taught me diaphragmatic breathing. It really helps. You want to inhale and...
I agree with kitt. I have the worst of my anxiety in the morning and it is not fun. Nobody likes to wake up trembling with their heart pounding! Just know you are not alone. I have just recently...
Thank you all. You are such a wonderful family I know I can always rely on! I know part of A/P is blaming yourself for things that go wrong, and I have to work on that. I am such a people pleaser and...
Well, it's been a while since I posted, things had been going pretty well. My therapy has been great and I am back at work (although I'm working some weird hours that is taking some adjusting.. but...
Thanks all for the caring thoughts, My doc increased the zoloft once again to 100mg. a day. It seems to really be helping and have only had 1 mild panic attack in the past week...huge success! My...
JT Positive and negative changes can cause panic. You sound like you are suffering bad. I was at that stage a few weeks ago, until I was started on meds. I didn't eat barely anything for like a week,...
Welcome to the family JT. I agree with all the above have said. I will be turning 25 in a couple of weeks and just graduated from college when my panic and anxiety reached its worse. I saw a...
I agree with everything Evelyn has said. I take one .5 at night and one .5 in the morning. My doc said it is longer lasting than the xanax, although it takes longer to kick in. I have xanax...
He increased my dose from 50mg to 75mg almost 3 weeks ago. At the same time is when I started taking the clonazopam. Thanks for being there for me. It is so hard to wake up trembling and crying......
It seems since my doc increased my zoloft that I have been having very vivid and sometimes horrible dreams. Has any one else experienced this with zoloft? I have heard that zoloft can cause vivid...
Thank you all. I had horrible dreams last night and woke up trembling and crying. Sometimes it is so hard. I am so grateful for the support I receive on this forum. One day at a time... Another...
I just began CBT last week and am so looking forward to my next session on Wed. I believe it you believe in it and give it your all and be totally honest you should get something out of it (at least...
So I woke up this morning felling pretty good. Actually this whole week has been decent. I work for my local NBA team and was able to work the game on Friday night with limited responsibilities, and...
Just wanted to let everyone know about a great book that my therapist recommended to me. I have read only the first 15 pages and was like WOW! He hits it right on the head! Don't Panic Dr. Reid...
I can relate. My anxiety hits the worse in the morning when I first wake up. Once I get my meds in me I calm down and feel better. I strongly recommend seeing a doctor, a therapist can help a great...
I take 75mg of zoloft before bed as well as .5mg of klonopin before bed and .5mg of klonopin in the morning. I tried switching zolof to the morning but it seems more effective before bed so I take it...
I feel like when I wake up in the morning, my depression/anxiety is 10 times worse than throughout the day. During the week I am home alone in the morning. Does anyone have any tips to cope when you...
I know the feeling..but it is so important to eat. I just went through a similar episode and lost almost 15 pounds in 2 weeks (and I'm small already!) Try and eat small amounts more frequently and...
I always feel sick to my stomach as well. I have anxiety and depression and my doctor gave me a Rx for an anti-nausea pill because I would feel so nausea I wouldn't eat. It helps. I also saw a GI...
Before I had my most recent episode of A/P, I loved to eat! I would chose a nice dinner at like olive garden over a night at the movies or bowling or whatever. My doc increased my zoloft on Tuesday...
Hi Liz I have been on 50mg of zoloft for 10 years. In the past couple weeks I started having severe anxiety and panic. I went to my pysch and he said alot of people need their dosage increased...

Thank you everyone for the care and concern. Just got back from the psych and he increased my zoloft dosage and decreased the xanax dosage. I am so happy that I found this forum and joined. It really...
