((((((((((((((HallieBeth)))))))))))))))
I hope you get a little relief from changing your meds. It is just awful to feel anxious all the time.

Halliebeth. I am sorry that you are struggling at this time. Being anxious all the time can be a terrible experience. You may want to consider seeing a nutritionist since you have some complicated issues with your thyroid as well as mental health issues. a good nutritionist can help you with diets that may be more appropriate on medication for a combined problem that may help with the anxiousness. I know from experience that I can not drink a lot of caffeine and a lot of diet pop they both have adverse effects on medication for anxiety for me, and you may want to let your Dr know how you are feeling and that you would like to see a nutritionist for diets that go well with your medical issues. Take care Hallie. I hope things get better for you soon. PM anytime. Soidhonia

Buspar doesn't feel or act like a Benzo (my preference but there aint no way they're giving me a Benzo which I feel is unfair but not unreasonable) I take 30-60mg and while it's not ideal it does help.
The other thing that REALLY works is physical activity, run or a brisk walk or something to ge the pulse rate up burns that tension (mental anxious, tension too) pretty darn good, so try to figure out a way to focus on some activity take your mind off the stressful thoughts triggers and I think you may find it helps. I'm certainly not the worst case out there but I'm not exactly the laid back sort either. Good luck I'll be interested to hear how you make out. |

Being anxious all the time can be so exhausting. I hope the med change helps your symptoms.
I'm with Stiv on the benzodiazepines (valium, ativan, klonopin). Have you ever taken one of these? I'm not familiar with Buspar but the benzos are made to act quickly. Perhaps something to ask about? Ativan has been very helpful for me. |

I feel ya I feel ya! My anxiety started today after dinner, my heart has been elevated ever since, and i cant decide if its my anxiety or my heart. It shouldnt be my heart because i had a successful minor heart surgery in december, i am off zoloft succesfully, and in good health. But you know that mean nasty anxiety will sometimes convince you otherwise. I feel like crap today.

I agree with what someone else said about the exercise, my doc told me to do some type of it several times a day.
I know the anxiety can be such a problem and just be both mentally and physically draining.....hope the meds work and give you some peace.
