Hi Everyone,
I've been going down this lovely road of anxiety and panic attacks that we've all trekked along for the last decade or so. I've talked myself down from some pretty anxious times, survived the unnecessary ER visits, and thought I was home free.
Well, my panic attacks became more frequent and I finally sought help. My doctor, after hearing everything I put my mind through on a daily basis, offered to give me a prescription for Escitalopram (10mg). I was hesitant because I've never been on a regular medication before, but I told him I'm so exhausted from dealing with my anxious thoughts that I'll try anything.
I'm now on Day 2 of the medication and I feel awful. I feel so tired during the day, my head is a little foggy, I feel a bit spacey when I'm walking around and I'm no further away from the feeling of having a panic attack than I was two days ago. I know this is supposed to take time, but now I'm scared that I've put myself on a road that maybe I didn't need to go down.
I'm scared I'm giving my body these chemicals that it doesn't need and I'm going to regret doing this.
I just need some encouragement because now I'm a wreck.
Thanks for your time. :bighug1:
