Ive just started new medication today. It's started off my anxiety really badly. i think that something is going to happen to me, that im going to have some kind of side affect. Does anyone else feel like this when they have started new meds? Please help me. can somebody put my mind at rest.

I totally understand that. For me personally though, it helped to focus on the fact that my anxiety might decrease. If the side effects truly are bad, then you can always try something else.

no problem. when you change meds, for a few days its like your on no meds at all because the new one hasnt kicked in yet. i went through this and found it traumatic, and realized that i still need to be on the drugs. anyway glad you found us, keep chattin it always helps.

CALL YOUR DOC IF IT MAKES YOUR HEART RACE'IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. IF NOTHING ELSE CALL DRUG STORE SPEAK WITH PHARM.AND TELL HIM THIS WHAT'S HAPPENING- IS IT A BAD SIDE EFFECT.OR SHOULD I GO TO ER FOR ADVERSE REATION ON MED.
NEXT TIME YOU GET A NEW MED ASK WHEN GIVEN -WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS THAT ARE OK AND WHAT SIDE EFFECTS SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT-VISTRAL CAME CLOSE TO GIVING ME AN HEART ATTACK .THEY HAD TO GIVE ME SHOT TO COUNTER REACT WHAT IT'S DOING. IT'S YOUR RIGHT ASK ALOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDS.LIKE WHEN SHOULD I WORRY WHEN I SHOULD NOT. BEST OF LUCK!MAY GOD WALK WITH YA, IN YA TIME OF NEED.LOVE & HUDS FROM LA.BAYOU SWAMP. TAKE CARE CHER .

When I first went on Paxil, anxiety kicked in within days of taking this med. My doc told me to hold on and perscribed xanax. I was told to take both until the side effects of Paxil went away. They eventually did and I came off the Xanax and was on the one med. Call you doctor, let him/her know what is going on. Maybe it is as simple as perscribing another med until the side effects go away. Let me know how you make out!!

you have to keep in mind that all manufactures list all posibale side effects but that doesn't mean that you will have them. I work in pharmacy, what med are you taking?

yes it's normal to fear side effects. If you start to feel a serious side effect go to a walk in. If its just some mild nausia or somthing ride it out and call your doc on monday

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
