Zeugma.
Thanks so much for your help. I am sorry about your social anxiety. Have you ever tried yoga? It is the only thing that really has helped my anxiety. Acupuncture also is very good, if the person knows his/her stuff. But it is tricky treating a mixed state like anxious depression. Yoga and swimming are my main crutches right now.
I do not have trouble falling asleep. It's staying asleep. I fall asleep about 10:30 and awake at about 4:30. And the anxiety starts. Free floating. No bad thoughts or dreams. Just waves of anxiety. I hope nortriptyline can help with that. I will have my blood level checked when I get higher up in the mgs, I guess. I am just starting with 5-10 mgs. this week. I'll work up.
What helps for the side effects--dry mouth and constipation? Is there any counteracting med for that? I might make a post on that.
Again, thanks for caring. I wish you the best in finding that peace that passes all understanding.
Dannen
