Just want to get a feel if this actually works for anxiety
How extreme was you with 10 being the highest e.g constant physical anxiety, couldnt go anywhere etc
What mg helped or did not help and how long.. did it get worse before better
Iv been 20mg 5 days now after 3 weeks on lower doses
Im already suffering really bad with anxiety and depression
Now my body is constantly in anxious state that even sleeping is hard but I have so much fatigue and brain fog
How is it doing both.. this is craxy
I know normal people have depression and anxiety
But i have been struggling for months for Debilitating depression and anxiety
I still havent found a med that works
But not only do I feel stuck in a dark hole... i get extreme brain fog.. which I usually get with MS but this is so much worse
I am just wondering if MS just amplifies all these
I feel like I am living in hell
My mind has slowed down so much I dont know what to do
Been on 20mg 4 days now I am being treat for severe anxiety and depression
The anxiety last couple of days is totally out of control my body is extremely anxious and my mind is racing 100mph and don't know how to calm it. Even the benzos not really taming it. None of my coping strategies are working
I think its having a small effect on depression a little
How long for this to pass its unbearable, as a note iv been on lower doses 3 weeks now.
Iv had extreme anxiety for months.. Mainly physical felt it all day in my stomach, chest, neck constant tension iv tried so much things and meds
Iv never had depression before im 41 mainly dealt with anxiety but this latest episode has put me into a spiral so deep I dont know how to escape
Basically the anxiety has beat me down so much mentally that I slipped into a severe depression along with intense anxiety so I lost all hope to fight it. Everything hit me depersonalisation etc
So now im working to fix the depression so I can get energy to tackle anxiety again
Please dont let yourself get this far its the worst hell iv ever experienced
Was getting no side effects really at 10mg and no real benefits
Now 2 days on 20mg nausea and fatigue are kicking my ass.. how long for this to settle also why the fatigue thought this meant to be pro cognitive
Iv got amazing family, home and pets but 6 months ago my life changed I entered the worst anxious and depressive spiral I have ever felt.
Over the past 6 months I have tried far too many meds which has probably made me worse. I am now trying trintellix and lamictal, the lamictal I will start shortly
I never understood before this how people give up, I had a rude awakening
I have the worst derealization all day I dont even know how I get through days. My brain that already struggles cognitively with MS and brain fog has 10x iv never felt this bad.
Im on ocrevus had MRI too which showed no new lesions but older ones are seen more clearly not too sure what that means but maybe more active
I feel sometimes my brain is about to collapse from all the feelings.
Anyone else got hit with this? I read the below
Yes, new-onset mental illness or significant personality changes after age 35–40 can be a "red flag" for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), as it may be a secondary symptom of the disease rather than a primary psychiatric condition.
While depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are common in the general population, late-onset psychiatric symptoms—especially those that do not respond to standard treatment or appear without a family history—are more common in people with MS than in the general population
Iv been in a severe I mean severe anxiety and depression for 6 months iv tried soooo many meds with no success or too many side effects to continue
Last one was low dose abilify added to my antidepressants I only lasted a week as made me feel extremely out of it and spacey and got heart palpitations all the time
Now been offered lamictal starting at 25mg what can I expect? Is there side effects any sedation?
Iv been having really bad dpdr for ages now I hardly get any clarity all day
Im also very depressed atm
Plus the anxiety
Everything just seems unreal, like very hard to explain which makes me more depressed trying to get through life with this feeling I cant even see the world properly
Im scared its going to get so bad that I question people and reality
Im in a really bad place and need to get to 20mg ASAP
I am thinking tommorow to 20mg I have severe anxiety and depression
Im 15 days nows and last 5 days on 10mg
Iv been crying a lot dont know if its from depression or side effects.
Other then that not alot of nausea, but I do have racing mind at night even though tired doesnt switch off.. will 20mg make this worse
People say go for walk etc but im not just hopeless and sad I actually
-Feel like I have some weird sensations in brain where I can feel like its underpowered and about to cut out
- Even when walking I have so much derelization etc like im not even a human.. or tree not even real etc
- I feel so disconnected from reality
Also have severe anxiety
Anyone else get this weird thing where energy levels slightly improved but I feel deeply depressed still and in a fog.
Also very edgy, like the motivation side is trying to improve but that deep depression is still there
Iv never felt anxiety like this I feel im on edge all day and then my brain is about to have a seizure or il lose it.
I think it's helping depression a little.. but severe anxiety is my main issue..
I feel like i need to be sectioned its so bad
Does this go or just stay like this
