Hi worrier:-)
Just wanted to wish you the best on the results of the cortisol thing:-) Paxil sent me to the ER too-Manic as heck-NOT FUN-I hear you!
Keep us posted,
Just wanted to share,
Kristen
-------------------------------------------------In my case the SSRIs made me really agitated and so physically wired that I literally had to be up pacing the floor or doing something active in order to avoid going completely over the edge. Paxil was the worst, actually sent me to the ER...it was like the worst panic attack ever times 100. Too bad the xanax makes you sleepy. Have you tried valium? It will probably make you sleepy as well, but it has more muscle relaxant properties than some of the other benzos. My pdoc is considering switching me to it because of physical symptoms I have.The constant muscle tension, jaw clenching, teeth grinding all night etc. But we're going to wait until the results are in on the cortisol thing before changing anything. I'll let you know what happens. Hang in there. Worrier.
