In reply to Xanax and Seroquel for Anxiety Insomnia, posted by Annabella on August 1, 2003, at 13:27:36
Hi,
I am sure that it is no accident that I found this group this evening.
I have been on Paxil and Xanax for over 10 years now and for the past few I've been taking Corgard to lower my heart rate. My symptoms of anxiety and depression have been controlled well for most of this time.
On recent follow up with my Doc I complained of serious problems with sleep and high levels of anxiety. He sent me home with samples of 25 mg. and some of 200 mg. and said to see how much worked. The first day I took 75 mg. and caught up on some much needed sleep. Since then I have been taking 25 mg. every few days or daily depending on how I feel.I was misdiagnosed as a manic depressive at the age of 19 and many "Super Psychiatrists" in my late twenties. I believe it was because I talked very fast. When I am anxious I feel breathless and I talk a lot faster than the average person. I used to like to shop and would just shop without spending a lot of money to distract myself from the high levels of anxiety that I experience.
Hope that helps!
