Well, it's been a long while since I posted - my anxiety battle has been mostly upswings lately. The last few weeks have been tough, though, especially the last week. Let's just say that my family ***** the very life out of me. Bleh.
The last several days, the anxiety has been higher than in the last year. I'm currently on 125mg of Zoloft, slowly but surely titrating off Xanax (currently on 0.175mg PM, 0.375mg AM), and 100mg gabapentin PRN. I've doctor's approval to take up to 200mg gabapentin AM and PM, which of been doing the last 2 days with little relief. I've rolled out the usual tool kit - getting out in the sunshine, self talk, exercise, continuing to eat well. I'm willing to bet my system is just fritzed after 5 days of too-much-family time. I'm not opposed to upping the Zoloft, but, like many anxiety warriors, I'd prefer to be on less medication, not more.
I'm 105lbs, 5'4", so I'm not sure how much more Zoloft my body can metabolize. I have a regular appointment with my psychiatrist in 2 weeks. I'd appreciate any thoughts you fellow warriors have.
