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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
There have been times when I wanted to take an "extra" klenopin, but I just trudge thru it because I do not want to go over the prescribed amount. I'm already at the max as it is. So switching over to klenopin isn't going to solve your problem. It might at first, but eventually it will be just like the Ativan.
I never have peace or tranquility. And as for not taking any drugs at all............... there are some that can do that as they are still functioning with flutters of anxiety. That's what I USED to have. I used to call it my "adrenaline rushes". But now......... my life and this "thing" has changed so much that if I have to rely on meds to slow me down just a tad, then so be it.
Misty, I think I've tried every SSRI there is on the market with the klenopin. Most of the SSRI's either had bad side effects, did nothing or caused higher anxiety.
When I finally find a new pdoc, I think I'm going to ask for an "older" med to coincide with the klenopin and stay away from the ones you see commercials for, etc. But I truly don't think an SSRI is the answer either.
Hell, I DON'T KNOW the answer............... all I know is I want my old life back............... which was before I went thru menopause!!!!!!!
And these are supposed to be the GOOD years??? I'm looked at as the "life of the party" and I don't even drink........... I just can't sit still or stay quiet!!!!!
I can't wait to hear what your dr tries you on come Monday and see how it works. I'm following in your footsteps!!!!

But you are right............. 4 years of a little calm every now and then beats none at all. Maybe I should be asked to be switched to Ativan. How long did that work for you before it stopped?

it's not really the best thing to take anyway....because it sounds like you are addicted to it when you have access.
not sure what else there really is..
i take seroquel, which seems to help with anxiety and also sleep.
I love the idea that Ativan helped you for THIRTEEN years! That is AWESOME! I'm assuming that since they are both benzo's there are no side effects from leaving one to go to another? Ask your doctor tomorrow.
I don't see mine again until the 31st. Since I just lost my dad in May, my gift to my mother for Christmas is to get her out of the house and take her to Nashville, TN (Home of the Grand Ole' Opry)........... but I will tell you. I might be double-dosing too during that trip. My mother is one of my triggers and 12 hours in a car just to get there.............. Whoa! I need this trip to be a relaxation for me so maybe I need to feed HER a klenopin. Sneak it into a drink or something!
I do believe she is part of the reason that my panic attacks and anxiety has returned so robust in the last few years. I realize now that my dad was like a buffer. She has he same type of issues that I have and almost unbearable for me sometimes......... but I'm all she has so I have to just cope and try really really hard to not go off or say the wrong thing or all hell breaks lose. I do no want to go to Nashville and walk on eggshells the whole time. I want to be "myself" and "myself" for whatever reason gets on her nerves. But "herself" sometimes gets on mine. LOL! It's a vicious circle. I'm looking foward to getting a way for a few days as I need it desperately, but which is the worst of the two evils? ARGH!
I LOVE roadtrips and have been many places "in my own life". I haven't taken this long of a roadtrip since my trigger switched 5 years ago. I hope my driving abilities do well as my mother doesn't drive............ she just likes to tell me how to and use her imaginary break!
So again, I am SO looking forward to a roadtrip and getting a way for a few days, I might be going right towards a bees nest.
So taking doubles don't hurt you in anyway? LOL! Just curious cuz' I can see it coming for me. Or I might take my 2mg pills and cut them in half and that way I can take 4 a day versus 2 a day and take them in intervals throughout the day.
What a life. I want off the damn rollercoaster.
ativan got me off grog 15 years ago so at least i am not drinking anymore i was addicted to alcohol i am a alcoholic so if i am addicted to medication that is how it has to be ....dont like it but much rather be like that than pick up a drink.yes ativan has bad withdrawals and they come pretty quick, you gotta never run out of em....i did once but never again thought i was going to die...you can have seizures if you withdraw quick as well.....or run out off em !
