Need some encouragement
Hey guys, I need some help.
So I was prescribed 37,5mg of venlafaxine primarily for my health and body anxiety which for me are really severe. Besides that I was also diagnosed with PPPD recently, haven’t started VRT yet but will in the future.
I was also given a really small dose of mirtazapine for sleeping because I wake up everynight at 5am in complete panic and was also given 1,5 mg of bromazepam for like 2 weeks and then half of quetiapine to take as needed for rumination.
Before that I never took any antidepressants, I used a benzo maybe like 5 times in the past when I couldn’t stop a panic attack and even that was stresful for me because I really don’t like how it sedates me. I’m scared of taking all these pills, especially venlafaxine because of all the bad side effects especially dizziness because of my PPPD.
I’m so freaking scared of being extremely dizzy and sick, I was crying yesterday the whole day because of it because I know I need help for PPPD and anxiety as well but I can’t imagine having the balls to start taking the pills. I don’t know what to do.
