    Default Fucking Anxiety

    I'm so tired of it. I've been on Klonopin for it and I'm seriously considering going back on it. Since I've been off of it and everything that has happened in the last 6 months (brother's death, bills, debt, splitting from parents, BF had a major job shift, etc) I find myself just worrying to death over stupid stuff! I'll just sit there and cry while my stomach churns. I try to tell myself to calm down, that this isn't rational, etc etc, but my over active mind never lets me rest unless I'm around my BF but he works 9-5. So during the day I'm left by myself to fret and worry and basicly get nothing done. I guess I'm just venting, and probably need to call my doctor up and see if I can get back on the meds. Blah, as those with anxiety know, it fucking blows!

    Call your doctor girl. You answered yourself in your post! Don't spend your days feeling like that when you don't have to. You've been through a lot recently and shouldn't get down on yourself.

    I've already said my piece on how evil benzos are - my brother almost died from klonopine.

    But, if you do just keep in mind that over time they actually aggravate anxiety and depression, cause sleep problems, and you need to be weaned off them or you could have fatal seizures, etc.

    Just be careful please....

    My brother's ex's mom just had electroshock for depression. Even my brother, who has had major issues with addiction, thought it was sad she never tried to get off the klonopine (she'd been on it for years) to see if it helped. He was a junkie on the stuff but still admits it exacerbated his depression.

    You've been through a lot, and I don't want it to seem like I don't understand. Just after what happened to my brother, and the fact that my mom's been a xanax addict and really hurt herself, make me hate those pills.

    Oh I know the dangers of addiction, and how they're commonly overly prescribed etc, and believe me, if they wern't the only things that really worked I'd do without them. Cronic irrational anxiety is fucking horrid to live with.

    It;s not just the addiction, but you can also overdose really easily.

    You seem levelheaded and everything, but I just think they are so dangerous. My brother would forget he took them and take more and the cycle got out of control until I found him not breathing.

    For me weed is the only and ultimate stress reducer. And I swear it keeps me looking young. I've gotten a few wrinkles since not really smoking. Not to advocate any drug, but this works for me.

    Good luck. I know you've been through hell so whatever works for you and helps you I think is good for you.

    I know how anxiety sucks. My anxiety sucks so bad (since my pdoc upped my lexapro from 10 to 20 mg.) that I was getting anxiety attacks every morning before I would go into work.


    You've gotta do what you've gotta do. I take an occasional xanax when i need it. thats the only reason i still have a job. But i started today cutting the Lexapro in half because I think thats what causing it.


    Keep taking the klonopin when you need it. It sounds like youve been through a lot lately. If I were you I wouls see a therapist and get a day job (or something to keep you busy).

    Good luck hon, life sucks sometime.

    I've just started experiencing anxiety for the first time in my life this past month or so. I really hope it goes away...I don't like this at all .

    I don't know what to say to help, as it's all new to me. I'll be looking into natural remedies if it doesn't go away soon, so I'll let ya know.

    I've suffered from anxiety since a traumatic incident many years ago, and have taken benzos on and off through the years. my dose is low, so i'm not worried about addiction (although some people get addicted at really low doses). i can go on and off of them with no withdrawal symptoms, even after a year or more of use. i think they work with my body chemistry, and they've been a lifesaver for me. i can use them as needed, and they don't cause any side effects. before scripting me the benzos, my doc tried me on almost every antidepressant under the sun, and i couldn't tolerate the side effects...they actually made my anxiety 100x worse.

    sc0101, maybe going back on klonopin would be a good thing for you if it helps. talk to your doc and you can discuss any concerns that you have with him. it's good to keep in mind the warnings of other posters, because benzos can be terrible for some people. however, people are very different. good luck; i hope your anxiety goes away.

    I put in a patient transfer request since my old doc doesn't work at the same place so I'll hopefully have an appointment sometime next week.

    sc0101, you need to be gentler in your self-judgement. You're not being irrationally anxious. All the things you mentioned are pretty traumatic so combined it's a very traumatic time for you. You're not wrong or acting crazy. You're acting like a healthy person. If you take time out, say 6 months to a year to work with a therapist you can make the adjustment. Just an hour or two a week could make a huge difference. You can get emotional understanding, support, a big boost in your confidence. You can learn how to live, emotionally, without your parents, work through your grief, and adjust to your job situation. It's not like your emotional life has been rosy and you're depressed because of a chemical imbalance that needs correction. The beauty of therapy is it works forever. You won't need to live on meds and you'll get through this faster with help.

    The kind of emotional stress you've been through takes months to adjust to. Your anxiety will decrease as you allow yourself to feel anxious. Don't fight it or make hasty decisions while feeling this way. It is a storm that will pass. Every day you will express more and more until you've expressed it all and are ready to move on. I know it might feel like it will just drag on forever but it won't and you'll be stronger once you see how much turmoil you can handle.
