Help?! I've just increased from 100 to 150 and need advice
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am a mess. I keep missing work and feel hopeless. I was on 100mg for about 10 yrs. my mother passed away 6 mths ago and I went to doc due to increased anxiety. Dosage was increased to 150 and Ativan .5 mg if needed. I hate taking Meds so I haven't taken the Ativan yet. I'm into my 4th week now and have not seen much improvement. I have no appetite. I feel hopeless and scared. Can anyone relate or give some feedback?

what i mean by that is anxiety is a cause of other symptoms some times. anger, sadness , lead you to feeling anxious and depression. and having a child i would guess plays havoc with your hormones and emotions, so that sounds like a key part of your feelings.

yes, i would say stick with it for a few more weeks and see how you feel after that. I'm assuming your GP / doctor is worried about post natal depression ? i still get the same spells as you've described sometimes too. very good this morning, around lunch time, tight head aches, nervous feelings, cold tingles. then they dissapear. im only on 50mg, and i'm very reluctant to go higher, as i don't really want to be on them long term.
