I thought I was doing fine but as it turns out, not so much.</P> <P>I'm back on the meds but now on a lower dose as it was making me pretty much zombified (which is why I thought to go off them)</P> <P>I've got pretty extreme anxiety - general, I'm ok in social situations - and am figuring out the things that trigger the attacks. I guess all I need now is with coping methods on how to keep the attacks at bay.</P> <P>Hoping to chat with you all soon <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>Vx</P> Wed, 09 Aug 2017 02:53:48 GMT VP76 2017-08-09T02:53:48Z Newbie saying hello https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/newbie-saying-hello/m-p/278673#M13946 <P>Hi everyone, I've joined today and have popped in here to say hi.</P> <P>I've been on an emotional and anxiety laden rollercoaster since July... around the time I decided to go off my meds which was a baaaad idea.
