In reply to Anxiety! Why?, posted by KayeBaby on April 28, 2007, at 22:00:18
Kaye, you have had such a great start on Emsam and I am so glad to hear about that.
However, you have still only been on it for six days, and Emsam still have probably 5-6 more weeks to take full effect. Until then and maybe even after then, you will always have some bumps in the road. No med is perfect.
I know with me, when I havent had anxiety for a long after trying a a new med, and then I feel anxiety for the first time on the new med, I focus on it and the anxiety becomes worse because thats all I am thinking about.
If possible, try to alter your thinking. Tell yourself you are on the road to recovery, tonight is just a little bump, and then do something to distract your mind, whether it is taking a walk, listening to music, reading a book or watch TV.
Prayers, Michael
