Hi,
Thanks for your support. Of the SSRIs SNRIs I've taken, I've always taken them for over a month.
It's strange really though because back in 2001 when I tried Seroxat again I got awful anxiety at start up and still later on (but not as bad).
Then when I took it again in 2003 at a higher dose I got very little anxiety and it actually started to work.When I started the Lexapro over a year ago I got some anxiety but it wasn't unbearable and then that started to work a bit.
However, since November when the Lexapro seemed to stop being effective, the anxiety has been really bad again. I feel like I have absolutely no motivation and yet a lot of anxiety.
Zyprexa has always been a God Send for me, I just hate having to take it (not for any particular reason). I just don't get why the antidepresant doesn't do what it's supposed to, alleviate the depression and anxiety that is.
I try to go as long as I can before I take the Zyprexa. I like to keep it as an emergency drug, my ace card so to speak. However, it looks like I'm going to have to use up my last life line which is worrying to me.I have tried Lyrica and to be honest didn't find it very effective for anxiety. I've tried Buspar and that doesn't seem to do anything.
I don't have the sort of anxiety that is specific to anything. I wouldn't mind if was. It's not like it's because of an interview or going on a date. It's sort of like a feeling of constantly waiting for something that never happens and it is constant, that's what makes it so hard. It does seem to ease off in the evening but I still can't seem to just relax and watch the television or just chill.Thanks for your response though, it was kind of you to write back.
Denise
