Despite focusing on getting plenty of sleep, I continue to have high anxiety and low energy. I saw my doctor and got a prescription for Fluoxetine and Xanax. Since I did so well last year being consistently on Fluoxetine I hope to have the same results again. The Xanax is for the immediate anxiety. I had Xanax last year and it was very effective for me, though I only took it when having an attack because of my fears about it's potential addictiveness.
Since I knew I was headed in this direction I had started the fluoxetine from the leftovers I had, and am now one week into the new prescription. Monday and Tuesday I had to take Xanax for work. Felt better Wednesday, ok Thursday and kind of got through Friday. Not good yesterday or today though.
I stopped in at a local coffee shop yesterday morning and the coffee drink made me super anxious yesterday, plus gave me upset stomach/diarrhea. I fought off an anxiety attack while doing grocery shopping and couldn't fall sleep last night. I need to find a non-caffeinated drink.
I was also prescribed hydrochlorothiazide for high blood pressure (135-95). It seems to have several side effects for me, I have had some headaches and nausea since taking it. In fact I am nauseous today. The nausea makes me anxious too. Bleh.
