Thanks for the response. I flushed it all. It's the only way I could do this. I had to take advantage of that one impulsive moment and flush.

Just talked to my on-call person and feeling a little better. This will pass. I think. I hope. Please oh please.

I'm taking buspar, in prep for this, and will go off that once I'm done with the w/d. Taking 10 mg x 2 per day. Taking zoloft for the usual, nortriptyline for nerve pain, metoprolol for migraine (and also helps a little w/ the anxiety), allegra for allergies :), have melatonin, vitamins, imitrex (migraines) and tylenol PM, what else, advil? cold-eez?

Short of upping the buspar which won't help for a few days, it's all gone. Going to go to work, maybe keeping busy will help.

Hi Sky....

Ok.....here is a list of your meds:

Buspar = treatment for anxiety- should not be used with MAO inhibitors

Nortirptyline AKA Pamelor = treatment for depression/hives/PMS/ADD- AKA as tricyclic antidepressant

Zoloft- SSRI anti depressant

Metoprolol AKA Lopressor = beta blocker for high blood pressure

just wanted to give you the clarification of meds you are taking. I'm not a doctor or do I even want to give you any advice whatsoever, but just clarification on your meds.

Take care and I hope your anxiety will pass very soon. I know how hard it can be. Can you go for a walk? I forget do you have kids?

Take care. :cool:

Kev- I don't have a normal shift job. I work at a university, I have stuff I have to do and just have to get it done, so I do end up working a lot of hours. But rarely middle of the night hours.

Sara- I actually take metoprolol (a beta-blocker) for migraine prevention anyway. It helps a little, but now you have me thinking I should go to one of those automatic bp machines at Walgreen's!
