Have persevered with Trazadone for nearly 10 weeks now. Have been in 250mg of it for 12 days now. Have also persevered with the Quetiapine for over 6 weeks now. Have been on 150mg of it for past 12 days.
But I still feel dreadful, so low and hopeless, and anxiety is really bad. Having to force myself out of the house, and terrified to be left alone. I am.fighting off despair most of the time. I only get a brief couple of hours of peace, late at night. Then in the morning I wake really groggy but filled with dread and panic. It's too hard and it's slowly killing me.
Surely I should be better than this by now?My CPN agrees that Trazadone doesn't seem effective and it's time for a change in meds. But I am so scared incase the next AD doesn't help either and I will suffer the same until one day when I can't take anymore.
I am so weary of feeling frightened mist if the time. Everyone says how fabulous Quetiapine is for anxiety, but it has done nothing for mine. Infact I feel my anxiety has just got worse. This really scared me too because if this wonder drug doesn't help then what the Hell will?
I am so scared about what will happen to me. I haven't genuinely laughed in weeks, my smiles are fake and I just feel dead inside.
