I am now on 50mg amytripline at night and xanax .5 mg as needed . I try not use the xanax unless i get real shaky during the day . I have to use a full pill to try to get some sleep .
They tell me not to let my anxiety get to bad before i take a pill . I don't like taking pills and I can't take the wonder drugs with ssri's as the side effects drive over the wall . That's my luck .
This is the second nervous breakdown in ten years ,I didn't think I would make it out the first time . This time is worse I can't see recovery even possible . too much trauma too many real problems to cope with . The drugs let me sleep some but each day is misery too face .
