After eight years of struggling with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I finally found something last summer that took off the edge - 25mg of Seroquel.
It calmed down my racing mind and I felt decent for eight good months, However at the end of March, I lost some money in a financial transaction, and I started worrying. And all the worrying sort of pushed all the anxiety out in the open again.
I tried going up in Seroquel to 200 and 300mg. It hasn't really made a difference. My pdoc prescribed 20mg of Paxil, which I hesitate to do because the 25mg of Seroquel worked so well for so long (it was the first of 30+ meds that had a positive effect on me).
This anxiety bothers me 24/7. My mind is always divided. If I don't have to be somewhere for work, then I stay at home on the couch. I have lost all the confidence that I had gained over the previous eight months. I need hope.
People are great on this board. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Michael
