So glad you're continuing to feel so good! ((((Thinker))))

I hope the worst of your anxiety is over ((((((Andy)))))

(((((Innerzone))))) Really hope your work schedule becomes less stressful soon and you can catch up on some sleep. Well done for managing things so well in the meantime!

((((((VJ)))))) I can really relate to what you describe here about feeling bored, anxious and restless, all at the same time!! And feeling frustrated with yourself. I'm in the same boat!! At least you are doing the things that have to get done. That is a big achievement right there! And I'm really glad your husband is understanding. I'm sending you good feelings and really hoping you feel better soon!!!

Today I went back to my original, lower dose of medication. I was on a higher dose for 2 days and I was just feeling so agitated and like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. Some of the feelings are so strange, I can't even describe them. And my thoughts feel strange too. It's really, really unpleasant. Yesterday I felt quite ill. I don't even know if it has to do with upping my meds. But something isn't right.

My pdoc says I need to get up to a higher dose to see if it will help. And I understand that I may experience some increased anxiety before the higher dose kicks in. But really, if the feelings are almost unbearable, I don't see the point in persevering with this medication. I just don't think this medication is going to help with my anxiety. So I've spent all morning researching other medications online and preparing an email to my pdoc about what I want to try next. The trouble is though, just when I think I've found a med I want to try, I read some horror story by someone who had horrible experiences on it. The internet is definitely a double-edged sword: so much useful info at our fingertips, but also scary stuff, and sometimes, unreliable info too. Now my head hurts and I'm no wiser about what to try next. But I still think my current med isn't working.

Oh well, at least I was distracted from my anxiety for a few hours!!!

Sending everyone good thoughts.
