Well guess what, my daughter just had a major panic attack, her three year old son is Acting up lately, typical three year old pushing all the wrong buttons. Anyway I calmed her down, this time last week I'd have been an emotional wreck too. Little steps but mighty steps too.

Aw bless your daughter , hope she'll be ok.   Went on Facebook about an hour ago to see my daughter had a panic attack this morning on the school run, she reversed into one of the dads.  I asked if there's much damage to the cars and no, she actually reversed into him ! His body ! He's ok.  She went into full panic mode and another mum who's a gp sat in her car with her and calmed her down x

Oh Annie your poor daughter, I hope this doesn't set her back, she was doing so well. Give her my best wishes. Mine is fine now, sitting watching celeberity 

[Annie0710]

Yes mine is watching that too, we are too

She said dr has doubled her dose as she hasn't been sleeping well either

Let's hope everyone starts to feel better.  My work colleague phoned in sick today because of anxiety x

[Yammy1]

It's frightening how many people suffer with anxiety. I think it's because people are speaking out more these days, and this a good thing

Hi Yammy, iam on 10mg at the mo but will be dropping bro 10mg every other day.  And the Doc has even advised that if I stop I can restart any time, it's my choice on how I feel.
Have to say they helped with the night sweats too but think they are finally going naturally 😁 at last after 6 years.
I was late in dealing with Menopause probs, thought I could do it all on my own but no got too much for me and anxiety was the biggest problem.
Have good and bad times but it's always there in the background like a little nutty squirrel.
Keep going you will feel better, as CLKD said the brain is complicated and takes time to feel benefits.

Thank you Clare, I will defineatly stick with them, I'm hoping 5mg will be enough for me. I haven't needed Xanax past three days so fingers crossed. I still feel awful in the mornings, anxious and down but the days are a little easier. Good to know you can cut down as you wish.

Hi Yammy,
Just checking in to see how you're doing. Sounds like you're slowly but surely getting there and I think you've done really well, so give yourself a pat on the back.
My anxiety still seems to be staying at bay. I'm amazed. Not sure why it's happened but I keep my fingers crossed I've turned a corner. I've always had anxiety, but it was never daily like it became in peri, so I'm hoping that this new phase is me getting back to how it was before my hormones went off kilter. I take each day as it comes and try to relax and not let my mind over think it. I wonder if when you're waking on a morning, you're straightaway thinking how you feel as you're waiting for the day you wake up with no anxiety? It's easier said than done, but try not to think about it.
Wishing you continued success with the AD's.

Little steps.  Let the medication do what's designed for.  If the side-effects are tolerable .......

Are you aware of what the process of anxiety surges are and how 'normal' they are to our over-all survival?  However, knowing why it happens rarely helps me with the actual physicality 

[Annie0710]

HI Yammy
Was just checking on how you're doing.  Keep going xxx

[Yammy1]

Hi Annie, once I get over the initial morning dread I'm not too bad thank you. Hopefully onwards and upwards.

[Annie0710]

Pants that you get the morning dread still but so good your days are getting better xxx

[CLKD]

That's my worst time.  Any time after 3.30 a.m. I can wake with surges
