Betsy1234 0 Posted January 6, 2021 Hi all, Just wanted to see if there are people here who can relate to chronic overwhelming anxiety and panic, agoraphobia, social and generalized anxiety. I have been on this road for so long to the point I can't drive or even leave my house. It is miserable. I currently take generic Pristiq 100 mg per day and .50 mg of xanax 3 times per day but nothing seems to help. My doctor wanted me to try Ativan following a DNA test saying it should help better than the Xanax. I started it yesterday 1mg 3 times per day and then took 2 doses today and WOW the 2nd dose threw me over the edge tonight. It was anxiety x 10!! I would appreciate any advice. Thank You in advance.

Ironman 198 Posted January 6, 2021 Hi Betsy1234, The only thing to do is fight to take back what you gave up. Little by little, push you boundaries back out and test your negative thoughts against the reality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Betsy1234 0 Posted January 7, 2021 Unfortunately I can't come off my meds. I have tried many times in the past and it just doesn't work. I will take a look at your link though and thank you for the input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
