Hi Everyone:
I posted a couple of times and just looking for some reassuring/positive feedback.
I will try to make my story short, but it may be long:blush:.
I was disgnosed with depression anxiety/panic disorder 11 years ago. I was doing well on my meds until the spring/summer of 2012, I decided on my own to cut down my Celexa from 40 mg, to 20 mgs every other day. Just thought I was feeling better and did not need it as much.
Well as time went on and some stressful (plus health anxieties) kicked in I ended up in the hospital the beginning of December 2X's. Has a EKG, bloodwork, urine and chest Xray and everything turned out normal.
I went back on my meds right away at 40 mgs and am currently (after suffering for almost 4 weeks) am seeing a pysch and therapist. The pysch doc put me on Ativan 1/2 mg 3X a day and 1 mg Atvan and Remeron at bedtime.
I am also for the past year been on Vicodin 2x a day (low dose) for 2 ruptured discs and a winged scapula with nerve damage.
I now am worryng about all the meds I am on, and I am still getting some anxiety and panic after 7 weeks on Celexa. I am so scared that I am never going to feel the same again and that the ativan is just masking my nerves. I get a nervous feeling then I burn in my chest and back and arms that resides after abut 10minutes. I feel like I have been dealing with forever and it is never going to go away. I have 2 beautiful children that prior to this I was so active with. I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK without the Ativan.....I'm sooooo scared.
Now with my med and health anxiety I was diagnosed with a cysts on my right breast that became infected. I was put on Keflex, that gave me really bad loose stool, he stopped me on that and put me on flagyl. I worried about adding another med. Im taking them all put so worried it is affecting my body along with all the anxiety.
I am just begging to feel better soon.......Thanks so much for reading and hope to hear from someone soon:weep:
