hi im sarah and im really scared at the moment. ive been on zispin for a while now and yesterday i went to see my doctor as my anxiety has gotten worse. he has doubled my dosage and now the side effects are worse. im scared that i will never be "normal" again. im having a bad night right now and dont know what to do. i feel so alone and scared.

thank you for the kind welcome. i know that what im feeling is just the side effects but it really is horrible and i just cant see the light at the end of the tunnel. i tell myself it will get better in time i just have to be patient after all rome wasnt built in a day. i feel a bit better for talking on here so will try and get some sleep now. if anyone else has had similar experiences i would be grateful to hear how you got on. thanks again :flowers:

Hi,

I've just joined too and already find it better knowing there's some support out there, so I hope you find that it helps you too. The worst thing is feeling alone and I think (hope) that this forum will help you to feel a bit less isolated.

I hope the support gets you through the worst of this so you can start to feel less scared.

p.s. Whilst feeling better is something to aim for, I've found being "normal" is overrated!!! :yesyes:

Hi Scared
Hang in there hun, you have the usual good and bad days. I always believe that no matter what we think, we are the sane ones. I am on a roller coaster of emotions at the moment, i don't know my bum from my elbow at times, but i get through each day and the hope the next will be better :)
