Does anyone ever have the experience that the meds are helping as far as physical symptoms go (heart beating fast from anxiety, severe agitation, crying spells, pacing), but they are not helping emotionally? I am sleeping, but I still feel symptoms indicative of an underlying episode.
I feel like beneath the surface of the meds, I am angry, irritable, sad a lot, experience flight of ideas (maybe mixed features?), still worries a lot without the physical sensation of anxiety. Klonopin won't even work, because it does not help with the worry... only the physical problems I used to have from anxiety that I do not have as much anymore. I wonder if anyone else feels this way a lot?
Recently Seroquel was bumped from 200 mg to 300 mg, which is my only recent med change. I don't know if it is just masking things, but not really resolving the symptoms, if that makes any sense. I feel an inner calm with it, but maybe it is more of a numbness. But the emotional problems are still there.
