[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 660294, member: 1233"] What would happen if you decided to devote the next 8 weeks to learning to truly [I]understand[/I] your anxiety? Of course it is a big goal in a short time, bt you could make a good start. Get some books on anxiety about what causes it, how to identify triggers, and things that might work to help. Not a little meditation and exercise, I mean devote yourself to it the way youdid to your diet and exercise when you lost a lot of weight. There are good books out there, and you have to be able to find a better doctor than this one. Really work on it, and on what you have done, have done half0heartedly, and haven't done but need to try. Study it like you would anything else you wanted to learn to do. I know it may sound idiotic or strange, but if you can approach it like a challenge or something to learn to overcome, you could surprise yourself. In spite of what you tell yourself, and what your mother tells you, you are a smart, strong woman. You have the tools to learn to overcome this, you just have to put your mind into it. Learn about different herbal remedies in teas and things - they were the first pharmacy and often can still be helpful. Look at your life and the people in it. Eliminate the ones who don't help you - including the boyfriend if you need to. Sometimes we don't realize what is going on until we really take a look at ourselves and our life and what we want to change. Once we do, we often figure out how to do it. I would work toward non-medication or non-traditional medication solutions as the traditional pharmacy based solutions are not helping and are hurting. Also, be sure you are not taking a medication that is an SSRI\SNRI medication. The N is for a different neurotransmitter and what you are saying sounds almost exactly like what Effexor did to me. It was the most horrible thing I have gone through. I missed some big events including one I spent 3 years working toward and I was flat out terrified to get out of the car when we got there. I was so angry at myself, but the medication approach just didn't work, esp medications that mess with the N neurotransmitter. I bet if you read and study you can figure this out.
