Anxiety at its worst. Help

[Lind779]

I've struggled with anxiety for 3 months now since having major surgery that seems to have triggered it.

They have just put me on anti-depressants and been taking them for 7 days now. I feel even more nauseated, no appetite and heart pulpatations all the time. Could this be the medication? I need reassurance that it will get better 😢. Seeing the doc and psychologist regularly.

Im doing breathing techniques, yoga... trying to keep busy but Im so tired from lack of sleep. Had to leave early from work today because I couldnt stop vomitting.

It will get better right?

Hi Lind it's seems that it gets worse before it better sorry to put it that way. I had a major meltdown after being off medication for about a year. I have just started taking meds for about three week now. It's been really hard as I felt worse and like you worried that it might not be worth continuing. I have told it might take some time before you feel better. Yesterday was the first time I actually felt better. I find that it's worse in the morning as the meds have worn off. Hang in there it will get better . I can relate to what your feeling let me know how you go.

Thanks for the reply thejokesonme. Its nice to know I'm not alone.

The doc did warn me ill feel worse before I feel better but so hard to stick with it.

I just hope they work and feel better soon. I cant afford to loose any more weight and my husband and I are trying to have a baby which I have had to put on hold until I fix myself. Just another added stress 😩

Hi Lind I know what it's like to loose weight,loss all interst in food . When I had a panic attack I felt like I was going to die and would go to emergency after many visits they would not see me and told me to go home. You fell so alone. Keep me posted and I hope it gets easier for you
