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...
Hi all,
The other day I had one of the worst experiences in my life--I was driving home and BOOM! instant anxiety and panic. I pulled over and tried to calm down but couldn't. I walked around for a bit but was so high strung I began dry-heaving. Sadly, I had to call my mom to meet me since I was so scared. I begged her to take me to the ER because the racing thoughts wouldn't stop and my heart was RACING! She refused and had me follow her home.
Next day I went to the psych and she told me it was my high stress level and nerves. I thought it was b/c I increased to 60mg of Cymbalta (I was on 30 and not doing well).
Here I still now still anxious and feeling hopeless, wanting to just jump out of my skin. I am on Ablify, Cymbalta (30), and Xanax in the a.m.
Can anyone relate? I feel like I am something is so wrong....

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!
One think has always puzzled me : what a surprise that kind of thing. No warning -- out of the blue, I get flattened.
A temporary Rx exists. (But it is a very controlled substance, so a doctor will be reluctant to prescribe it for more than a few days.) Your doctor will know what I'm referring to. Leetle white pills.
I don't have a good picture of your situation is, the meds mentioned I am not familiar with. ...Um I assume you are thinking for how to reduce stress. If stress is reduced in a kinda-regular life -- reduced somewhat -- then a week or pro'ly several weeks are required before ya' really feel a difference.
If you work, maybe the doctor could write a note..if they could give you a leave of absence. Or maybe use your vacation time and personal days.
/Jus' thinking ways to get you through the next few (+) days until you have gotten a hold on things.
Well I mean gotten a hold over your mind. (I don't know if there is humour is that)
