When Anxiety Medication Fails: Coping Strategies

My life lol. Laughter and comedy help me a lot.

All The Time.

Sometimes, yes.

Yes, this has happened to me before. Sometimes my anxiety is just so high that it'll overpower the effects of whatever I took. It's especially a problem at nighttime when I'm trying to sleep but the racing anxious thoughts won't stop. I hope you can get some relief soon, take care.

Absolutely. I'm on duloxetine, and I'm thinking about when I go to the psych hospital in July, requesting to be on something different instead of increasing the dosage. This just isn't cutting it, however, this is also the only anxiety medication I've ever taken. We just keep upping the dosage and it works for about a month and then I'm back to having anxiety attacks ALL day.

99.9% of the time! I wish there was a magic potion to take it away!

Yes. All the time. 😥
