It's taken me a long time, but I have finally gotten fed up with my anxiety issues. I have always been a worrier, but it's gotten to the point where I will lay awake at night imagining terrible things that could happen to me or my family.
I talked to my H about it last week and he is being really supportive and understanding. I called and made an appointment with a psychiatrist next week. So I am just wondering what to expect and what meds you are on if you have the same issues. Thanks.
yes! At the psych appt, the doctor will spend about an hour with you trying to figure out a diagnosis. We talked about my history, the thoughts I'd had, etc. Its important to be honest and open and know the doctor won't judge you.
I am on Zoloft, only because i'm still breastfeeding. I also work out often which helps my symptoms tremendously.
