[QUOTE="Jena, post: 211757, member: 4514"] hi, I can share in your feelings, I have had the same as of late. I tried medication's once last year, I wanted to drive my truck into a wall and really got let's just say very unhealthy. After 3 weeks I weaned myself off which by the way was an absolute nightmare, terrible headachs, pains in my head. I think alot of times (now not referring to difficult child's) that we are a society with whom doesn't want to "feel bad", we expect ourselves to always "feel good", handle everything extremely well, never falter or feel exhausted or feel overwhelmed. Alot of ppl look for a quick fix to the solution, what pill can I take to relieve the pain i'm feeling. Yet with age, I have learned that sometimes (not in all circumstances) we need to be patient with ourselves and allow ourselves to feel what we are feeling. If it wasn't for the low's and the struggles we wouldn't enjoy, nor truly feel gratification for the truly good moments. Now, with that being said I'm talking about as you had said sudden anxiety due to pressure, our difficult child's, home streses, and work. I'm not talking about ppl diagnosis with things that truly require medications in order to get through our days. There is alot we can do I beleive. I have done them, slowly to relieve the pressure create the increase of the right chemicals that already exist in my mind. I've implemented meditation, alone time (lock myself in bathroom if I have to), also walking is a big reducer, waking up a little bit early to enjoy a cup of coffee uniterrupted by a difficult child. Yet if you have tried various things, such as that or things you could think of and have time for and you are getting no relief than yes I'd say call dr. and see what he advises maybe a low dosage of something will give you the relief that you need. I spoke to my doctor a few weeks ago, my anxiety was at it's worst, i was dissociating at times and all. A real trip, and it was really scary. Than after speaking to the dr. he said i think you can do this on your own. So, I increaesed my omega's, my B-12's and all the other vitamins, began drinking more green tea at night instead of regular tea, drink kava kava during day when i'd feel over the edge, cut back the caffeinne. So, in closing don't be too upset with yourself for wondering why you can't make that call, your just processing where you are right now. Are there any things in which you can think of that you could possibly implement to relieve some of the stress, that you haven't tried as of yet?? Just my thoughts. I am sorry you are feeling such pressure. I also got the same things you described and i attributed to stress, my doctor said so also. I wish you luck whatever your decision is :) [/QUOTE]
