> Hi. Well, upping the dose may increase that feeling of detachedness. Is it unpleasant? Or is it nice to feel less upset about stuff? It was weird for me that I couldn't cry at the saddest stuff. Also remember that as the dose gets higher it will be more likely to cause bad effects if you accidentally miss a dose. You might want to give it another week or two at your current dose to see if the anxiety continues to improve.

Hey marsha,

sorry i took so long to get back to you. i am very, very forgetful and i'm sometimes convinced that i've done something when i haven't, so i'm sorry. well, i guess it's been about a week since we last talked and my anxiety is down a lot more, but i am still having serious panic attacks which is kind of weird because i thought the anxiety was what was causing them. I had one of the worst ones of my life a few days ago. i just lost my mind completely. i really feel like something is very wrong with me. they put me on zanax to try and control the panic attacks and it's been working so far, but i think it's only because it makes me so out of it. i feel like a total space case now. and you're absolutely right about it being strange not having emotions. i used to get so excited about my birthday...it's today actually. but now i just don't feel anything. i just feel like i'm a burden to everything and it would be better off if i just ended it all. i don't know what to think actually. i hope that i don't end up on these pills for a long time. i'm just not me anymore but at the same time i remember before i took the meds the anxiety was just too much. i'm sorry to be rambling on so much. oh, and the side effects that i have are waking up in the middle of the night every night, my hands and lower jaw shake a lot, i can't control my leg's constant shaking, and i think my pupils are taking over the rest of my eyes. that's about it. oh and i'm male, i think you asked right? well yeah, i'm 20 years old and i've lost my marbles...pretty attractive features huh? haha, just joking. i just feel totally screwed up today. oh well, i guess that's just the way it goes. anyways, thanks again for listening, it helps.

chris
