hi alison.
i was taken doxepin started off on 10mg gradually they increases to 50mgwhwn i started 50mg i got a horrubke siking feeling,when i go to bed i cant sleep as i fear i will not wake up when i took the tablet thats the feeling i got like my body eas slowing down and i kept getting startled very strange feeling.i never felt really any better so i thought i would go it meds free.its been four days now anxiety vey high but taken natural meds got old symptoms back but iam in a better frame of mind now and i self talk myself keep telling myself that its just sensations it cant hurt me.very hard a times but if i keep busy and divert my mind it does help.
working does help me when iam at work i have no symptoms at all this what i have been monitoring so it proves that we do controll this horrible illness with our mind.i just hope i can stay in control tonight has been very difficult but i just want my life back i booked my holidays for next year to go to florida iam not strong enough to do it this year but that my goal,i was there last year and loved it so thats my target,will keep you posted on my progress .
