Thank you for sharing.
I feel the way you had right now. Struggling, and not really enjoying anything. Anxiety is terrible, not panic attacks, just constant. Sometimes I get relief but not really. Sleep is a big issue with me and it is what I need to feel better.
I have resisted any new meds because of fear and past remeron experience which numbed me for 3 years. It was horrible. I was functional, but not happy most of the time and not very nice. That is my fear, becoming a jerk again. Maybe better to feel bad but nicer to other people.
My new doc(soon to be old) as they don't take insurance wants me on klonopin and an ssri (luvox). I am scared. the benzo tranzene made me depressed so I am leary of another benzo. You sound very similiar to me. Right now I am trying CBT, but hard to put it into practice when one feels so crappy ya know? I find myself dwelling on the illness and I am tired of it. I have some big decisions ahead of me and now I need a new doctor.
Thanks for listening.
