It is certainly not "in your head" like something you can easily control. I find it hard to describe to people. Good move coming here to talk.
I would definitely go see your doctor and also you may want to go to a new doctor , get a second opinion.

by the way lexapro is a life saving for me i would love not to switch to any other med.

come on any advice i really needed.

Hi, I think most of us have been there and it is the worst feeling EVER. I have been trying meditation which has been advised by a couple of nice people on this site, you have to try it to calm yourself down. when my anxiety is bad my house work, shopping, husband, dog, everything has to be put on the back burner so to speak and wait until I can cope with doing things. Does your husband understand and help??

my husband was more understanding when i sstart with my anxiety 6 years ago but now he doesnt care anymore may be he is board from seeing me up and down with my sickness.

Very few understand anxiety and avoidance and especially the fear we experience. I never would of before I got this.

We have to adjust to life it is not going to adjust to us. So we have to learn to cope.

Advice, I would say exercise, therapy and meditation along with your meds. Law of attraction is useful. Only give energy to positive things in life. Observe the intrusive thoughts and grab some of your life back.

I know what you mean my husband is the same sometimes, thats one reason I come on this site people listen. I look at this quite simple, YOU need to put YOU first to get better then you can look after husband children better. I bet you do a fantastic job but because you not doing things 100% brilliant your giving yourself a hard time. I am sure they wont't suffer xx

I understand how you are feeling! I dealing with my 3rd round of attempting medication. I have been on Paxil 2 other times but only went off due to my pregnancies. I thought I could go on with out it and I have for 2 years but I am suffering really bad this time. My anxiety is flyin as well. I did see my Dr and I picked up some Paxil but I am too afraid to take it yet! Baby steps :) So far you have taken it and for two weeks! That alone is a great thing to concentrate on! I can't even muster up the courage to take something that I have alreadu been on!! The only problem is that we want instant results, when we take the pill we want to be relieved right away! 2 weeks is a good amount of time and you're half way there! Usually by 4 weeks you will see exceptional results! You're half way there! Have you ever been on meds before? Just know that you can only think about today for today! I know this is a difficult thing to do, trust me I have the same problem, but as far as your job and your husband go, I say put them aside and deal with them as it comes - no sense in worrying about something you don't know is going to happen. Don't feel bad that he is not understanding - it is difficult for people to understand who have never experienced out situations! I suggest you utilize this support group and a really great friend as much as possible:) I also see a counselor weekly - she helps as well! Good Luck to you - I'm always available to chat! God Bless!

I think everyone has nicely covered everything but I want to add that maybe you should speak honestly with your employer about what is happening in your life right now. You don't have to share details but inform them that you have a disability that you take medication for and that you are having some trouble. Mention that you'd appreciate there understanding and patience while you try to get better.

Even better find the HR department or someone that helps take care of employee rules and such and see if you can make some plans or changes to your job that would make your life easier while you heal. Maybe you could ask for longer "unpaid" lunch breaks or the option to take short breaks form work if you need a breather to just read or call a family member. Think about the things you'd like to change if you could and just ask for them! If they might be letting you go anyway it couldn't hurt.

I hope this helps : )

Carry on with your tablets and see how you feel and take it one day at a day, and i am sure you looked after your family well maybe its time they looked after you

thanks for your replys but still till today i dont know what to do increase my dosage or not
i am trying to deal with it with the same dosage i am on but it is hard it is taking over my life my sister today told me why the create med isnt for us to feel good and go on in our life or just put the med on the counter look at it and wish to feel good does make sense.
