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.

Man I am so frustrated with my anxiety and meds lately I just feel like asking my doc to pair me down to the bare minimum. (Of course I wouldn't cut back on anything without talking to him)
I've been on AntiDepressants for 8 years for my panic disorder and depression. First Effexor for 4 years. Then I thought I was "cured" and went off. Panic came back and my doc put me on Prozac. That pooped out and I switched to zoloft. That's been great for almost 2 years but now I'm feeling squirrelly again.
So my doc added abilify to the mix. Oh add my lorazepam as needed and trazadone or ambien (dealers choice) and I feel like a walking freakin pharmacy. I am over it and really feel like a zombie and still having anxiety and depression. wTF?
I am still breastfeeding my 9 month old but have to strategically pick when I take my meds so I can pump and dump from all the meds. I'm sure hormones lack of sleep and working full time at a job I'm bummed on iS not helping. Fehkkkkkk. Calgon take me away
My goal is to get this fog lifted. I feel like a new strategy isin order. I know I am the only one in charge of my well being. But walking around dizzy and spaced is not it. I've only been on the abilify 4 days. Maybe it gets better?

found, so Im sticking with until something else goes wrong.
Generally, I try to use whatever helps to calm my anxiety. That can be CBT, therapy, meditation, being with others who are struggling with whatever they are struggling with. Surprising how reaching out can be calming.
