Not too sure. It all started with the pandemic. I stopped my anti depressant. Long story. Adult son came back to live with us. Now off meds except Xanax and antihistamine. Right now worried and scared. Plus I have GERD. Reflux. It doesn’t help having that. I see a psychiatrist and therapist. Thank you.

Part of my story. Seen a psychiatrist for years. Was on celexa for anxiety. I had panic attacks years ago. They went away. Only occasional one. Then my psychiatrist stopped seeing patients. I was getting my prescription from my pcp. Then in spring of 2020 I slowly stopped taking my celexa. I guess it was gradual enough. Didn’t have problems. I had my mind on my daughters wedding in the fall. Then I looked on my old psychiatrists site and he was seeing patients. My husband blames himself for me going back. He thought I was doing better without him. Tried all different antidepressants even celexa. I kept getting real nauseous. Tried Pristiq and wasn’t working. Withdrawal was hell. Then a beta blocker for anxiety. Had trouble with that. My pcp told me maybe my body is trying to tell me something. No more drugs. But I’m afraid I can’t change my mindset. She suggested biofeedback, massage. I see a therapist whom I like. I’ve always been a worrier and a pessimist. So I need positive reinforcement. My husband tries everyday to help. It’s just recently been off beta blocker for anxiety. This is all new to me. I think I have generalized anxiety disorder. Right now I don’t believe I could change my mindset. I’m not positive. This is what I’m having trouble with. I know it takes time. I’m impatient. I’m in my 60’s. Right now no confidence. I know this was very long. Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
