Howdy! I just can't make sense of anxiety. Always the confident type through the years I could barge into a room and talk to anyone anytime. I could do anything anywhere. After hospital in '11 and experimenting with several meds, I settled on Lithium 600mg and Lamictal 150mg, which I'm still on today. Then I started feeling funny.
I was planning on meeting two buddies in Vegas. Booked flights and rooms, but when it got closer to the time to leave I kept feeling sick. After about a week of this, I was thinking maybe its just too soon for me to go on a big adventure...and I backed out of the trip. I had been meeting 3-4 lifelong friends at this little mountain bar/grill for years, but lately when I had attempted to go I would feel sick coming up the road and just drive by...turn around and come home. I wanted to go see my sister out of state, so I started planning the trip. I always loved to drive so I was looking at that mode of transportation, but kept getting a knot in my belly when I thought of driving through the plains of CO and KS. So I booked a flight. Wifey took me to DIA...was waiting by the gate, and it was packed. Old folks in wheelchairs, babies in car seats and crowded as hell. I started feeling like I had smoked a joint...without the fun part. It was time to board. As I was walking down the jetway I started feeling funny...and by the time I was 20ft from the aircraft it hit. I was nauseous, lightheaded and unsure on my feet, stumbling around amongst the strollers and other baggage outside the cabin door. I held it together long enough for the passengers to thin down, then I got the feck out of there. I sat down in the concourse to attempt to digest what had just happened. Wifey had just pulled into the driveway after her hour drive back home when I called and asked her to come back for me. I was stunned at my behavior the last year or so. I had been driving for 45yrs...why did it bother me now? I had gone to that bar for 5yrs and I had known these friends for 55yrs...there was no danger there nor anything to dread. I had flown scores of times, and at least 8 times per year for the 3yrs preceding this event with -0- probs. It had to be this combo of meds, didn't it? -IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE- Anybody else get first time anxiety from meds? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
