Newly re-medicated now after tapering off
I'm newly re-medicated now after tapering off Viepax and Arriply.
But I have moments throughout each day where dread comes over me again. I’d like to not have such anxiety creep back in.
Night-times I wish I could have nice dreams that I remember.
I'm scared if I have an acute anxiety attack. I wish I had something to take just to keep in my purse. It would give me a feeling of control just knowing it’s there. My psychiatrist will not even prescribe me any Xanax.
It feels like the “dark cloud” is waiting in the background, and sometimes it slips over me again, though not as deeply or as long-lasting as when I am unmedicated. I need some more control over my feelings and thoughts. What happens is that I get a mini-panic attack and feel like I can’t breathe or or swallow, and that I’m drowning. I start thinking of the future and worry about death and convince myself that I have dementia coming on. I feel lonely and alone and get scared and the fear takes over.
Can anyone relate what they do?
