I cannot do anything due to anxiety. Even reading a book makes me feel anxious, and I cannot concentrate. I also have social anxiety, so I rarely go out and socialize. I think I have some OCD behaviors as well that are time and mentally consuming. All of this is annoying and puts my life on hold

Consult with your GP, psychiatrist, psychologist and what have you. You might need to have your meds tweaked - also, are you in therapy? Best of luck! :-)

I used to have severe panic attacks thinking i was going to die in a fiery car crash in the rain regularly. Friend in Cali suggested I try a non-addictive anti-seizure anti-anxiety medicine called Buspar. After about 2 weeks my panic attacks were completely eliminated. What a Godsend. Other than psychosis panic attacks are some of the worst I have been through mentally in my 30 year mental illness journey. Good luck keep a stiff upper lip it can get better. It has for many of us here who decided to come back and help others through their suffering. Be patient with your self and mind. It is mostly just a chemical imbalance in your brain. Finding the right chemicals to correct it personally is the tough part. What works for me may make you worse or vice versa.
Take care Also when you are going down the rabbit hole with those negative thoughts try to catch yourself and replace them with something positive like one of my favorites "I have an abundance of health, wealth and happiness. The hard part is noticing that you have been thinking negatively in the first place cause sometimes thinking that way can seem so natural to us. |

I know it's been awhile since this post but I was wondering if you could share more on your experience with Buspar, I am going to doc tomorrow and thinking of replacing my Cymbalta with it. Much thanks! |
