woah suzy, slow down hun. whats goin on??

had high anxiety for 4 weeks, cant take anymore.

have you brought this up with your doctor?? Believe me, you do not have to suffer with anxiety like that. I have a anxiety problem too, before I got the right medication, it used to drive me to the point of wanting to just rip my chest apart, do something to myself and finish it.

Hun, bring this up with your doctor, you do not have to suffer with anxiety like this.

was in hospital for it 2 weeks ago. they lowered my anxiety meds because they make me suicidal. they just had me on valium eveyday.icant keep doing that but at the moment i have no choice, thy make me sleep a lot which is fine with mebut not fine with work

awwwww, hun. I can appreciate the bind you are in now. If it do help with the anxiety, take it, to hell with work, you need to look after you first and foremost. My doctor wanted to hospitalize me not long ago, but when he called the warn, they were blocked solid and had no rooms available so he put me on lorazapam, tweaked my other meds and made me promise him that if anything happened, i would immediately go to the hospital.

I was reading on your profile that your doctor keeps changing your effexor?? Is that true hun?

its the seroquel they halved although they fiddle with efexor too. i was ok on 300mg but they want me to taper down cause its too much. i should tell them to go jump

hun, you tell them you need 300mg effexor. the tampering with the meds may be contributing to your anxiety. I think your doctors is trying to fix something that they should not be. I am on 300 effexor as well and there is no way i would let my doctor tamper with that.

I seen that you were put on seroquel xr. The xr is a time release and from what i have seen, it dont seem to be as good as normal seroquel. I think your doctor should put you back on regular seroquel and leave the effexor where it is

i couldnt tolerate the regular seroquel, made me too tired. i looked like i was stoned made me feel very bad

That is a unfortunate with seroquel. What I do is I take mine night time before bed. I sleep pretty good and when I wake up, I feel ok. What time were you taking yours if I may ask?

8pm but it would make me sleep for days

How much were you taking? Seroquel do take some time before our bodys get used to it, I remember when i was first put on it, i was like yourself, almost like a zombie, but after some time, my body adjusted to the sedative effect of it.

i think 25mg but there's no way im going to take that again. there are reasons fo my anxiety . its high anyway but recent events have pushed me too far. thats why i want to sleep foever, so i dont have to live my life. im in therapy. its hard, slow and very painful but i think in the end it will help

poor suzy :(

25 mg is actually a very low dose, you may be sensitive to Seroquel maybe.
