I'm Tired and Don't Want To Go On

The only thing that cuts my crushing anxiety is lorazepam. When I am so anxious I can't leave the house I take .50mg and it gets it under control. I try not to take it because it can add to my depression.

The worst anxiety I have ever had was when my provider restarted me on Venlafaxine. The lorazepam didn't touch it. I never had anxiety before so dealing with it is all trial and error.

Depression and anxiety together are a bad mix for me. When it hits I become urgently suicidal. The first time it happened I had to go to the hospital.

Sometimes I think the anxiety comes from fear of the beast getting lose.

I was on a mix of anxiety and depression meds and also tried many different meds one after the other but suffered from side effects. Weaned off them all and have been suffering with anxiety, insomnia, and other medical issues. I wasn’t looking to get back on other prescriptions but now I might be forced to. I thought the worst anxiety I ever had was before Christmas when I allowed my Psychiatrist to convince me to enter a mental health facility but this is ridiculous! Can’t even think straight or go out except to go to the dr. Anxiety is a beast that’s surely crippling my body and soul.
