Hi this wk has been hell for me. Every day is a struggle to go to work enjoy anything or interact with family or anyone. It truly is horrible it feels like the end. Docs gave me venlafaxine yo try next wk but i don’t really want to go down that road currently on 50 mg of setraline. Back to the docs on Monday. This is all because of a stupid worry that won’t leave me.

    Ask for diazepam for when it's tough.

    I have 2mg and is almost instant relief.

    Can't stay on it long term as it's addictive but been really good for me

    Thanks obviously you get this from the doctors. Ye i can understand why it’s short term. I definitely need to try that as any situations that scare me like this wk i can’t think straight or do anything

    Hi Brian, my week has been hell too! And I’m not really sure why. Work has been a huge struggle for me! I’m on venaflaxin and it really helped me. Although I’ve been on it for over ten years and I think it’s just wearing off. I hope u get to feeling better soon!
