Hi Sam,

Just wanted to pop on and give you a bit of encouragement. I was exactly the same as you  the anxiety was by far my biggest symptom.

The mornings were just awful, feelings of doom that started the moment I opened my eyes. Being scared that I would never feel normal again. BUT it does go, so hang on in there.

Everyone on here was saying everything gets better after a week, but for me it took a couple to settle. Even now my anxiety is an ongoing battle but I’ve always being an anxious Annie so that’s probably why. But it’s nothing like it was in the beginning, it’s manageable.

Your brain is just freaking out as it’s not getting those happy hormones from the drug, but it relearns so keep going. It will pass I promise ♥️
