Hi there!! I read that you can't take SSRI meds I am taking elavil or amytriptaline (SP) for pain and depression ans anxiety, I find it works for me, its a trycicaline (SP) med it may be a better option for you, I also take Klonopin (sp) for anxiety or restless leg also I take more often for my twitching toes.
Ask your doctor about your options and see if they can find an alternative to help you feel better.

I do think that when flaring our anxiety goes up because we are fighting something off PLUS its the unknown of how long will this last or whats next or is anything being damaged internally, they are all legitamate and real fears for all of us, so know that you are not alone and that we all pray you feel better, but PLEASE talk to your doctor about options, also search the net for alternatives and go to your doctor armed with possible options that you think may work for you!! Wishing you the best!! Hope you feel well soon!!

PSSS I think I need to start learning how to spell my meds!!

I was thinking have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (sp) again, anyway I also take Lyrica which I think also may have some relaxing properties, ask your doctor, I know what you are going thru so I can sympathize anxiety is one of the worst feelings, and unless you experience it on a day to day minute by minute way you can't really understand it, but I do, I have been there, I take comfort in knowing I have the klonopin if needed and the elevil (I also don't respond well to SSRI's) Please know your not alone and I will be praying for you and keeping fingers crossed you get relief soon!!

Hi Laura thanks for your reply.

I have been on lofepramine before which is similar to amitryptyline so I was thinking I maybe need to go back on it for a bit. I am going armed with info to my doctor. If I can get this anxiety under control i think i will rest more and that will help my other symptoms.

Thanks for you help and kind thoughts.
Love
Sara
