I have been OK for awhile, but recently decided to try some stuff thats quite popular on the west coast to help with my anxiety (and for easier sleep).
Suffice to say it backfired and left me having anxiety attacks a few days after. I have not felt this bad since I became afflicted end of 2016. It brought on some depression as well.
So I went to the doctor and they proscribed lexapro. I took the first pill last night (10mg) and man, was it rough. I had a lot of the typical side effects and woke up with what little sleep I had dry heaving. Its also made me majorly anxious all day.
As a result, ive decided not to go that route since it was so rough on me. Thankfully, a Christian mental health counselor is very close to me. I am going to try that instead, along with a new exercise regimen.
I have identified where a lot of the anxiety stems from and have quit those sinful things and repented. I believe it was causing horrible self confidence issues and in general ruining my life.
Looking for prayers and any support/advice you have to give.
