Hi Fred,
I think I know what you mean, and it is an unnerving feeling. I seem to recall that you are taking Celexa, and have been for some time now. Perhaps it is time to look at a new AD. I did not find Celexa particularly helpful for the feelings of dread that seem to come out of nowhere. Now, when Paxil worked for me (for many years, actually), I didn't have the dread, and only had to use Xanax occassionally. I have found that Nortriptyline has been somewhat useful for the dread. I have also found some of my feelings of dread and apprehension to be tied somewhat to a bit of lingering depression.
I hope you can find a way to deal with the dread. I know how awful and somewhat overpowering that feeling can be. You take care.
Tamara
> Does anyone know what I mean? I tend to suffer deep dread that comes out of the ground, crawls up my legs and hits me in the guts. Xanax doesn't help much with this. The jitters however and the dreaded panic that is linked to feelings of suffocation do respond to it (I think)
