Just spilling Some Beans

My anxiety is unbearable. My guts and my head hurt to no end. I recently started a different medication to try and help it, but I think it's making me sick. Nausea and shivers, feeling tired, are side effects. Called out of work today because it was all so bad I couldn't stand out of bed for much. That makes me feel guilty and awkward. I see my therapist every week, but I don't see my psychiatrist for another month. I might call this week, but part of me wants to not be freaking out about this. Adding the stress of a new medication maybe not working onto my anxiety I'm trying to deal with.
On the bright side, my other medication is working very well. I have not had any major frights or psychotic episodes in over three months. Sometimes I still get scared, but it's more manageable now.

Have your doctor try you on doxepin hydrochloride. It's a tricyclic antidepressant and works very well on the nausea caused by anxiety. the sweats and shivers are part of the sweat-chill nasua cycle that limits any vomiting to a few minutes out of about every 20 minutes.

Heya ive a family member who struggled terribly with anxiety.

After trying 3 different meds, i would say now she is 98% there. So its definitely worth exploring a change in meds.

🙂 wishing much luck
