Glad to hear it.  The more you put into it, the better success you'll have.  It's very hard to fight the urges associated with anxiety, but it is necessary.  You'll get there, don't worry.  One day, you'll look back on this and even have a hard time remembering just how badly you felt.

Hang in there!

Oh wow u r brave then I wish I was but we all know tht everything is ok I see ur a nurse tht must be something to be proud of I don't have the confidence yet to get a job atm I did have 1. But they fired me cos of my anxiety and I'm sticking to my treatment don't u worry!! :) I'm fighting to get better and so should everyone else

[nursegirl6572]

I got you beat, LOL.

I've had anxiety my entire life.  I had panic attacks even as a toddler.  I can remember distant foggy memories of standing in my crib looking around in total panic.  Of course, I didn't know what it was then.  Sadly, I missed out on so much enjoyment in my childhood.  I was fearful at b-day parties (often would not go), and things like amusement parks and vacations were a nightmare.  Even trips to the store were awful.  I was petrified of getting lost, never to see my fanily again. My parents did what they could, but of course, back then, anxiety wasn't a commonly understood thing, it wasn't until later that anxiety disorders were added to the DSM for psych disorders.

I was finally and officially diagnosed with panic disorder at age 18, after a massive panic attack hit me during my first semester at college.  Since then, it's been a rollercoaster ride.  I've have periods where I've basically been housebound, and others where I've lived almost anxiety free (a very normal day to day life).  I know enough now that I know I'm never going to totally rid myself of anxiety, it's part of me, but I've learned to accept it and I am now very good at being able to recognize when it is starting to get out of control, and I seek help immediately to get back on track.

So, I totally understand.  That's why I push so hard for people to stick with treatment, whatever it may be (meds, therapy, etc) because it DOES work, but it does take time, and work and patience.

[melissablahblah]

I hope I do get some improvements 5 to 6 years is a long time have this just so glad I'm getting it sorted how long have u had anziety?

[nursegirl6572]

Sure, I understand.  It's just always a good reminder, because sadly people don't usually give the meds a fair shake.  Two weeks is great, you may start noticing some subtle improvements soon.  Just have to stick it out.

I posted this quote on my status, it's a good one.  :0)

Ok I've been taking them nearly 2 weeks and sorry to keep going on :p just when I write on here makes me a feel a lil better knowing I can talk 2 ppl the same way I feel thank you all and keep ur comments comming :) if any1 wanna share there anziety come talk 2 me

[nursegirl6572]

Remember, these meds take time.  To be fair, I recommend giving them at LEAST 8 weeks, and that doesn't include any dosage increases.  If your doc recommends a higher dose, then you have to then wait the 4-6 (+) weeks again.  It's frustrating, but necessary.  Too many people throw in the towel way too soon.  It's much better to exhaust ALL possibilities with ONE medication before considering making any changes.

[melissablahblah]

Right I dno if this tablet is working for me don't feel much better really

[funnygirl512]

I tried that same med and zoloft also this past week and also have anxiety about taking this meds and started feeling itchy all over and got a bad headache so i stopped the meds.
I realized I need to find a DR i can talk to and also who will precribe meds and understand the phobia people may have about taking new meds and will be able talk about it and separate real side affects from anxiety side effects that you may bring on yourself.
