Hi, well the title says it all !
I have woken with my constant anxiety & even though loads of things need doing I don't seem to have the strength or concentration to do them.
This has been going on for 3 yrs & I am exhausted with it.
Does it ever go away ?
I am on so many meds it scares me & angers my husband, he won't take tablets & thinks I should be off them all, I am weaning, very slowly off mirtazapine, I do have some arthritis, had a hip replaced 5 years ago, but all of a sudden, EVERYTHING is hurting, I have read that mirt can cause arthralgia & myalgia, I also think it makes me more anxious, but the tapering is going to take a very long time.
I just rang the crisis team at the mental health centre I attend, but they just give me platitudes, I am supposed to have a support worker but have only seen her 3 times since December.
My p doc, also has me dropping one 5mg diazepam to a 2/12
so now iam on 2 & a half a day, plus , she now wants me to drop from 3.75
zopiclone to a half, which I think is all a bit much !
