Since I knew it was coming, I took a week of vacation to hopefully help with my anxiety. Saw my doctor on first day of vacation and got my Xanax refilled. I went several years in between refill.
Also had a panic attack while at the doctor. The week of vacation didn't really help. I am having panic and exhaustion issues at work. With the Xanax is mostly terrible exhaustion, which causes anxiety as I am exhausted while having to deal with clients. My brain feels incredibly slow when I'm in that state, I can hardly think and am so tired I don't want to even speak.
I've been able to shift a bit and do take some trainings and do some less client facing things, but there are times where I am the only one that can do some things. I was able to step outside for a while during lunch yesterday and sit in the sun in my car, which was helpful for a while.
The last time I took Xanax regularly I didn't have the kind of exhaustion I am having now, so not sure if that's a new side effect or just general exhaustion. The last time I also could pretty much feel it as it started working, not this time. Pill looks different too, different manufacturer or something.
Right now there's a lot of anticipatory anxiety. It's Friday, I am hoping it's very quiet at work and I get through the day without issues.
