> I can't stay in the house or sit still. I get up do what I have to do and go 40minutes away to where Greg is working on the boats and sit with him. And then when he's done we run errands and then ride7.5miles on the bikes and then walk the dogs. I can't watch TV can't sit still. So I don't want to take a med to numb me anymore. Just relax enough so I can do those things myself. Love Phillipa
If you have horrendous anxiety and you can't sit still yet you don't want to be calmed, this creates a quandary. I understand you don't want to be numbed out, but micro doses of neuroleptics aren't going to create a dysphoric detachment. And they work fast. Very fast, they're intended to do so. Its either that or more Xanax. I really can't think of anything that is going to act faster. You can continue with the Luvox, but that will take a while to work to quell such a situation. Meanwhile, why not try a trial of 2.5 or 5mg of Zyprexa for a week and if it doesn't suit you, you can just drop it. There's no real cold turkey issues there at that dose range. I just want to see you enjoy life.-- Jay
