Moms that suffer with anxiety. How do you do it? I’ve always had it but I had ONE panick attack after my D&C three weeks ago and I’ve been on edge ever since, I just feel off and anxious, it comes in waves, my stomach hurts from the anxiety so I don’t even want to eat but then the stomach pain makes my anxiety worse. I go to therapy literally every week (which I think it does help bc I’m always able to get out of a panick attack) do you guys think it’s time for meds?.. I did try one after my D&C it was Effexor wich caused me INSANE dizziness and make my anxiety worse so I’m scared to try another med…please help
I’m on urbanol for my anxiety and panic attacks.
10mg every morning and 15mg at night cause that’s when it’s the worst for me.
I’m 100% fine on it and it doesn’t affect my autoimmune disease or anemia at all.
You have to take the meds for a good month before they start helping. Zoloft is what I’m on and for a month I was nauseous every day. Effexor worked better for me. I want something that doesn’t affect my mode.
I’m on Lexapro my anziety was affecting my heart. Also recreational weed helps sooo much
I’ve been on every anxiety pill over the past 25 years. I’m currently taking Hydroxyzine. I’ve been on this one for about 5 years. It’s doesn’t make me feel different or sleepy. But sometimes you have to go through 2-3 before you find the one that works for you.
I’m a huge advocate for mental health medications. I’ve been on both effexor and Ativan since I had my son 13 years ago. I still have anxiety issues here and there but I can actually live without constant, world ending freak outs. You can start with a super low dose and just tinker with it alongside your doc. I’d definitely speak to your GP about options. Good luck!
