How long does it take for physical symptoms to ease once taking medication

[sometimesanxious]

I am on day 8 of starting a very small dose of medication for my anxiety and anxiety as just wondering roughly how long it took others to notice the physical symptoms of their anxiety start to ease? Having the physical symptoms that are forever changing are a constant trigger for me.

The medication has increased my anxiety somewhat and I find night time especially hard and early mornings and have been having quite a few panic attacks.

Hi sometimesanxious,

Welcome to the community here. I would like to suggest that you speak to your Dr about how you are feeling. It may help to record what you are experiencing and when and show this to the Dr so he/she knows what is happening for you.

A pharmacist at the chemist where you purchased the medication may also be able to advise you.

It is my understanding that everyone can react differently to medications. What works well for one person may cause a few side effects in someone else.

If you expect a panic attack to happen, can you try to prevent this from happening somehow? Does deep breathing help you?

If you told yourself this is just a reaction to the medication and it will pass, will that help you in some way?

Talking to your Dr is the best advice I can offer you. Hope you find some answers. You are welcome to share more here, some people may have suggestions for you.

Cheers from Dools
