In reply to anxiety does this?, posted by daizy on January 13, 2003, at 12:54:29
Dear Daizy,
What was your original diagnosis? Was it the anxiety? The reason I ask is that my first symptom that something was wrong was a massive panic attack and I began suffering panic/anxiety attacks VERY similar to what you described. The meds my original doc prescribed, Xanax and Elavil, were terrible. In any event, four months into the panic/anxiety, I nosedived into a severe depression. Like you, my anxiety worsened in the evening, even to the point of waking me once I was asleep. However, all attempts at conquering the panic/anxiety were futile because, for me, they were warnings of the oncoming depression. After three and a half years of hell (depression w/anxiety/panic), I did recover and have only had one minor relapse in seven years. There's hope....
