burning wing Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hu maddy harper, I'm sorry you feel so bad... Have you ever seen a book "Handbook in DBT group"? This book contains different DBT skills. I guess it is available on the Internet. Once I felt very anxious and it helped me, what if it helps you as well?

hold_on Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I know what that's like, you hope for something you can take to give you a brief respite from the anxiety. Opening the post was too much stress that I just avoided doing it without any good reason to do so. My psychiatrist thinks my anxiety had gotten to the level where it was causing psychosis. A cocktail of Clomipramine (a potent antidepressant, anti-anxiety med) and a single dose of Quetiapine daily both at bed time I've found are effective in calming me down and balancing out my mood. There was a strong paranoid delusional component to my anxiety but you might discuss these meds as options with your person treating you. Often my doctors seem willing to just prescribe whatever you say in the absence of knowing much about this type of problem,, Clomipramine is only available at the moment under a modified release pill labeled Anafranil, as they stopped making the instant release ones late last year but I've found the modified release ones even better. Unfortunately the doctors didn't realise this was an option before they tried switching me to Lofepramine which I found an awful experience.

tattoogirl Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Im sorry to hear that you havent found a right medication to help with your anxiety. I know how horrible and debilatating it can be. Try relaxation, breathing exercises, they only help for a short time but better than nothing :-( Hope you feel better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddy harper Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I dont like the clonazepam as it makes me feel dead n the head. Thats why i only take three quarters of my dose per day as it makes me slow and stupid feeling. hope this post makes sence... Nothing is making sence at the moment.

tattoogirl Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I totally understand. I feel dead to the world most days, dont want to do anything, but then again id rather feel like that than by suicidal so i gotta weigh things up. sending big hugs to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddy harper Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 had to take my full dose yesterday but i fell asleep really early and woke at six. couldnt handle yesterday at all. I am ment to have four 0.5 mg tablets every day. They the longest acting benso in the benso group. Each tablet lasts 12 hrs just like my morphene ones. no wonder i feel stupid and slow when i take my full dose, i have to ly down and sleep it off which wastes time that i could use to make music.
