So anxious please help

Posted , 4 users are following.

Did you experience increased anxiety upon startup? I’m on day 9 and yesterday and today are BAD even on Xanax... I’m thinking it’s because the medicine is fully into my body now. Any thoughts?

    I had exactly the same it's like someone has induced anxiety into your system it's horrendous and it is a side effect of fluxotine I was on diazipan at that time but it never touched the sides I'm nearly 6 weeks in and can honestly say things get better I still got a way to go but feeling a lot better than I did I hope this helps x

    I felt like my anxiety was getting worse the more time went on but I kept thinking I got to go back to go forward mine was really bad first 4 weeks felt like I was paralized with it but it does get better I took diazipan on my really bad days but everyone different so you might get better sooner just take it hour by hour on your bad days x

    Actually, no!  It seemed to instantly calm me and make me less worried and stressed about things but it seems that many others have felt more anxious in the beginning.

    Hi Monna....I'm on fourth  fist week I was on 10 mg then the 3 weeks at 20 mg and getting desperate because I haven't had a day where I haven't had anxiety.  It all started at the end of Dec. I've been going threw this for a wile. Trying to hold on to see if Prozac will kick in. Dr also prescribed gabapantin 200x2 a day but not really helping. I'm afraid to go hire because I seem to build tolerance to meds very quickly.  Can you tell me how your first four weeks went.
