Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Morning in my eleventh day of 10mgs of ciprolex and feeling down, the side effects are making my anxiety go through the roof, I am scared that I am never going to feel better and that I am going to lose it. are these normal feelings I am having while my body adjust to this med?

I know any antidepressant can get a really bad side effects I would try it at least two weeks if they don't go away then I would contact my doctor hopefully it will help you I have terrible anxiety and had it to most of my life have not found a medication it really helped by way down to just taking Xanax four times a day everybody's different so remember that each and every medication Will affect the person differently I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ,hope that you are feeling better soon .

Id call the doc! Is your anxiety worst after taking the Ciprolex? From my understanding being a genuine pig for so long on and off different meds. Side effects should only last 3 to 5 days at the most. Good luck!

it takes some time for most antidepressants/antianxiety meds to take effect- not sure if u are on anything to directly counter an anxiety attack like Xanax or something - if your in a state of anxiety - not hyperventilating, I would say go outside and get fresh air, focus on slowing your breathing, and your thoughts, there are also relaxing teas u can drink in place of Xanax/valium- like chamomile, any of the sleepy time teas will work, good luck to u

If your symptoms keep getting worse, you should probably go to a doctor about it. Maybe they can give you something else as a substitute? Either way, I hope you feel better and that your anxiety lessens.

Thank you everyone for your kind words made it through the day took a lorazapam to help calm me down, anxiety is such a horrible feeling, I guess I just thought these pills would start to work overnight. I guess I will just keep plugging along...

I have to tell myself I am not my feelings. I also listen to meditation tapes on the You tube. I try to stay out of my own thoughts on a daily basis.
