Stress Center Peer Support

Hi Hope

Yes I am feeling much better now! I have been on the Doxepin for 3 weeks and am seeing a Therapist! Most of the Panic attacks are gone and the anxiety level is at a minimum but hardly noticeable! This is really great compared to where I was just a few weeks ago! Its like night and day! I have been doing other things as well! Mainly with the improvement of the sleep which i was so deprived of back when I was at my worst! I also ready positive materials and have been working on my stress levels! Only thing that is lingering is the slight dizziness which stops me from exercising as I would like to! Exercise is my next goal! I hope to maintain and improve this feeling because it really is a turning point for me! Thank you Hope for checking in with me! Let me know how you are doing too! I hope you are doing well!

Pauly, Glad to hear you are feeling better. I have been eating healthy and walking on my treadmill every day which has helped. My next step is to face my fear of going out of the house. My last bad panic attack was about a month ago thankfully. I have wanted to go back on my Doxepin but the tiredness is too much where I can't stay awake. How many mg's are you on of Doxepin? I was on 25mg.

Hope

I am on 50 mg which I take an hour before bedtime! I agree that it has the drowsiness effect! Not too bad for me though but it does the job in making me sleep well throughout the night! I was so afraid of meds like alot people with anxiety! The sleeplessness was just too much for me and the doctor recommended the Doxepin! I am satisfied so far!

Glad to hear that you are doing good! I know we spoke before and I remember the things we have in common! Wow that was a real surprise to hear!

I am in the process of getting a treadmill also! That would help me to get the blood flowing! I need to excercise and I think the treadmill is a motivator for me!

Nice that this site is back up! I have been viewing another site while this one was under construction! I noticed others there as well~

ps- Looking to going back to work real soon! Wish me luck!
