hi alison.
i was taken doxepin started off on 10mg gradually they increases to 50mgwhwn i started 50mg i got a horrubke siking feeling,when i go to bed i cant sleep as i fear i will not wake up when i took the tablet thats the feeling i got like my body eas slowing down and i kept getting startled very strange feeling.i never felt really any better so i thought i would go it meds free.its been four days now anxiety vey high but taken natural meds got old symptoms back but iam in a better frame of mind now and i self talk myself keep telling myself that its just sensations it cant hurt me.very hard a times but if i keep busy and divert my mind it does help.
working does help me when iam at work i have no symptoms at all this what i have been monitoring so it proves that we do controll this horrible illness with our mind.i just hope i can stay in control tonight has been very difficult but i just want my life back i booked my holidays for next year to go to florida iam not strong enough to do it this year but that my goal,i was there last year and loved it so thats my target,will keep you posted on my progress .
hi alison,
i know exactly how you feel your post was loke reading my thoughts.iam off work this weekend not very often i get a weekend off and i think what illness will i have,its like something playing tricks on you.i have stopped my meds today because i have been taken them for 6 months now and dont feel any different so i thought i might as well feel crap without taken them.every day seems to be a different symptom its like a battle with the mind.i really gets you down but we must keep fighting this.hope you feel better soon
I can't believe how many of the same imanginary diseases that I have battled with. Some too may times to count now. Just when you think you might be better mentally, WHAMO! Keeps hitting you down. A part of me believes that I will never truly be free from this thinking. It's like I've literally be programmed to think the worst possible scenario for every little symptom I have. This whole minor depression and anxiety thing will never end. I've never going to be able to change my DNA, I not going to change this. Sorry to be a downer. I have my highs and lows...on a low right now...
thanks for listening, or reading rather.
