Self awareness and anxiety are killing me. Cymbalta is making cognition sh*tty; I can't perform the simplest tasks like operating a cash register. Total fumbling doofus, ridiculously self-conscious on a level where it would be considered self-fulfilling paranoia.
Take lots of Xanax or cut the Cymbalta or both? Klonapin and valium and xanax have never touched my anxiety as I feel it to be inseparable from my depression, but I may just need a monster dose of xanax (I've always written it off and have taken rather high doses. Maybe it's time to really push it).
I'm very med-tolerant and have gone real high on anti d's without a problem. Maybe Cymbalta is screwing with me. I've been on 60mg's about 4 weeks. Anyway, let's talk about skyrocketing the xanax to a point where I can operate a cash register without falling asleep.
I sometimes wonder if my life is a 24hr panic attack that manifests itself in various streams of self-torture.I wonder if people who find relief from klonapin and xanax would consider my day an incessant panic attack...how high on the xanax...i can sleep and am safe and cared for for the next 2 days so let's let 'er rip.
I also had a script for risperidol to ease the obsessing and ruminating thoughts, but the sticker shock makes that economically unfeasable. Any advice? thanks guys.
