Sorry I couldn't answer you earlier. I look at work but can't get on to answer you. The doctor put me on 150 mg Time release for a week than up to 300mg. After taking the 300 (once a day) it was way to much. I had the shakes like you described and Like I told you I was like a caged animal and felt like I could almost kill something. I didn't like the feeling and felt like it was intensifying the problem of anxiety. I called and we went back to 150 (once aday) and after a month and a half or so I started one week feeling the same way again so i am taking 75 mg once a day Time release. I know everyone is different but your description of what you are going thru really sounds like me. It is hard not really knowing you but I can tell you I wasn't taking any thing else and I knew I had to change something. Like ImLIn said Pills don't cure anything. We have to figure it out and help ourselves. I feel so much better than I did so just think there is hope. I still feel bad when I assume H should do something for me but I am realizing alittle at a time that's not how it works. Its great you relaxed enough to wear your sweats and be you. Who cares what they think.(we used to, but we are on a mending phase for us) OK?
Maybe if you and I set some goals together it would help. 1. We are not going to obsess about the H and OW ( no spying,) The hardest for me is asking questions how was dinner or what did you do last night. ( i know that s not right but i'm working on it 2. Do something for ourselves. ( tell me tomorrow what you did)
Thats 2 to start lets see what tomorrow brings.
I am an only child so you guys have been a god send for me to talk to you. My H family is big and my sils really help me and also my H brothers are very good to me.
I agree with ImLin that you shouldn't take a sleeping pill at 5:30 in the morning. If you can get up and do some exercise. I do that some times if I can't sleep or try to catch up on house work or read til time to go to work. I sometimes have a glass of wine in the evenings to help relax me.
READY to make some progress? ITs late so I will talk to you tomorrow. Hope you get a good night sleep. Keep building we are on a mission to GAL.
