Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I need info bad.
I was on Zoloft for years and my doctor changed it to Lexapro because he thought the zoloft wasn't working well anymore.
About two years ago, I was having problems and went to a different doctor because I moved, and he put me back on Zoloft. I got very sick and was badly anxious and depressed. My family doctor said the zoloft was not working and hgoe put me back on Lexapro.
Now it's two years, and I am feeling moody, like crying, get hot and cold flashes, nausea, indigestion and feel irritable.
I have had days when I am so nauseated I can't eat for awhile.
Of course, it doesnt help that my husband had to quit his job because he has an incurable heart disease and they can't do a transplant cause he has too many antibodies in his blood that would kill of any heart put in. And, a close friend died three weeks ago.
My friend had her lexapro changed to Cymbalta cause she was having trouble.
Do my symptoms sound familiar like anxiety?
Also does anyone else take cymbalta or know when it's time to change?
I see a good therapist who thinks I am under way too much stress. I can't stand this.
When my doctor had me take xanax I felt better, but I can't live on it.
Any suggestions??
For awhile I was at the doctor a lot thinking I had a sinus problem, stomach trouble, etc.
I feel like a hypochondriac.
Thanks

It is not uncommon to also have to adjust your current dosage of Lexapro prior to switching medication. I think it would be best to make a doctor's appointment to discuss how you are feeling and be sure to mention all that is occuring regarding your husband and the recent loss of your friend.

I think you may want to a neurologist and have tests taken to see where you are at. Maybe you have a diagnosis that has yet to be discovered. I take xanax when I feel overwhelemd and it really helps me.
Talk with your doctor and do research on your own. See if a psyhiatrist can help as well, they can better prescribe things for anxiet and depression. There are more drugs out there. FOr me the longer the drug has been on the market the better it works.
I hope this helped you.
