Thanks Emily. Just a few more questions (sorry)
> Right now I take 125mg. I was up to 180 at one point, but when I added in Dexedrine, it amplified some of the side effects of both meds, so I decreased a little.
>
-- Did you experience any relief at a low dose of either 50mg or 75mg? I would be augmenting with Wellbutrin, so I am just curious if I would need to go up to 150mg.
>
> I'm not sure that I totally understand what you mean. Do you mean like worrying about things that are in the future? I can say that it did help my anxiety in general. And it helped enough that a number of people commented on it. I'd say that it decreased my anxiety across the board--I didn't notice that it helped one aspect over another.
>
-- It's more like the kind of worry or fearful thoughts that come after isolating and restricting activities and after having a huge panic attack. Because I have had a hard time finding the right med/combo of meds, the fearful thoughts (about really getting out and doing stuff) are really quite engrained in my mind, like a never ending tape of a negative message. That's what I mean by fearful anticipation. Not sure if what I've said makes it any easier to understand LOL.
