return of anxiety

Hi , after a few years of only mild anxiety symptoms I am back on NMP . I cant remember my previous username or email but i was a member for a long time about 2010 -17 .
Due to too much stress with family issues I have slipped back into having night panics and many symptoms during the day .
Im back into the phsyciatric system and because I have tried lots of SSRI SNRI meds and couldnt stand the side effects my phsychiatrist has prescribed Pregabalin 300mg twice a day and it is working well .

Im 64 now and developed osteoathritis in my knees which is depressing me as I cant do the things I used to do , at least not so good but manage some things . I,m double vacinated for covid and get the booster next week but like probably most of you it has affected my mental health .

This is a brief description of whats going on . More like a hello to you all and glad to be with you to share .

Great that you have found meds that work! Ageing is a ****- I'm only 51, but noticing that things creak now, and aches come and go all the time. Is it worth looking at a mobility scooter? Pride will be a barrier (I know I woudl hate it), but if it gets you about that will be good for your anxiety, I think.

Keep the faith, and stay safe!

Thanks for that , yes as the saying goes "old age doesnt come by itself" ( or something like that ) . I try not to see my self as an age though but TBH I hate being 65 .Your right ! I couldnt go on a skooter , at least not yet , oh dear what a though .

Your right about keeping the faith

I have been bombarded with spam email since posting my email in the main form . My mistake.
