Well finally visited the doctor for my anxiety. He decided to perscribe me Clonazepam and Cipralex.
0.5mg Clonazepam
10mg Cipralex
Both twice daily.
All day I've been feeling the anxiety getting to me. I took 0.5mg of Clonazepam at 6:00pm and it's now 6:47pm and I am starting to feel much more relaxed than I have been in quite awhile.
I don't start the Cipralex for 1 week because the doctor wants the clonazepam to kick in a work for awhile before starting the drug that's most likely going to make me feel worse before better.
I hope this works, I have been suffering from my anxiety since at least 1991/2 (that it was noticeable to me). Though I was showing early signs around 1988.
Not sure if I'm glad or not to have the label attached to what I have, "Social Anxiety" and "Mild Panic Disorder".
Heache- gone
Jittery- gone
feeling anxious- gone
feeling cold all the time- pretty much gone
that wound up feeling - pretty much gone
sweaty hands - still have (but it might just be too hot in here).
Dizziness, feeling faint - gone
This is going to be a challenging next 2 weeks. Not because of the meds. Austin is going to notice changes and will most likely test the waters in what he can NOW get away with. I know clonazepam has a side effect of possible anger issues, I already have anger management issues but related to my anxiety...so i wonder if the anger management will worsen or get better...?
we'll see...
Here's to hoping for the better...
