Hey,
I'm so sorry you had such a bad morning today.. It's 5:30 PM here, so I was going to ask how the rest of the day went but I just realised morning has only just come and gone for you over there, hasn't it? I am bad with time zones!
I know exactly what you mean about panicking before you go to work, and it making you too ill to make it on time, and that making you panick even more.. it's such a vicious cycle! I had it happen to me twice last week. I'm sorry you couldn't get ahold of your doctor too, why can't they just be available any time we need them?!? Seriously, when I had surgery last year, I was supposed to talk to my surgeon the morning of (to decide if I actually NEEDED the procedure or not) and all I got was his pager, and he never called me back! I had to go down to the hosptial, get 'ready' for surgery just in case I needed it, and then wait to talk to him there! Tsk, tsk.
Well, I hope you did calm down a bit and found your way to work alright. And I hope your D left you alone after that. Let us know how you got on!
--Steph

Hey Nugget,
I think you are anxious about facing those two dummies at your office. I wish we could have kicked their butts Friday and then they wouldn't be a problem.
I have read the other answers to your post and I agree about the Xanax. I think you are having an anxiety attack and it's not depression. Xanax is great because it is fast-acting (in about 30 min to 1 hr.) and you only have to take it as needed. For instance, this morning, I bet if you had taken one you would not be feeling so anxious....and BTW these anxiety feelings sometimes bring on IBS symptoms, too.
I hope you will ask your doctor about Xanax for these especially anxious times.
Feel better soon
Barbie
PS: Good idea to reschedule your GYN appt. for another less stressful time. Don't need to add any more stress than is needed!

Whew....it's been a rough morning but, I think I'm on the right road now. My doctor and his nurse were so supportive and understanding. I even got a hug from the nurse. I told her I hated to even call and she told me that if I call they know I really need something because I don't call for little "piddly" things. She said some people call for everything and cry wolf. Then before I left she told me to call anytime I need something.
The doc is going to try me on Effexor (anti anxiety/depressant) and Klonopin (mild tranquilizer) and see how I do. He said that the Xanex, with my past history of depression, wouldn't be the right med for me. And he wants to see me again in a month.
So, I feel a little better knowing that these meds should make me feel better without the side effect I spoke of earlier. The doc said that the sexual side effect may occur but shouldn't be as bad as with Zoloft that I was on a couple years ago.
There were so many wonderful replies this morning from all of you that I don't have time to reply individually to all of them....but just one great big hug for all of you. Thank you for always being here.

Effexor is what I've been on for years. It keeps me depression free!! I'm so glad you have a doctor and nurse that know you so well and are so nice. Even a hug from the nurse!!! Wow!!
Glad you made it into work. Have a great rest of the day, sweetie.

i'm sending you the magic Fairy of All That is Good! she like to tap you with that wand and make a secret wish come true. it may not be the result you wanted, but it will be the right result for you.
so wish away!
(her name is Patricia, by the way, if you don't like to call her by her whole title)
(to answer your question, no i'm not having a lot of good days. it's taking quite an effort to get up and to work and back. i am exhausted -i keep falling over!- and unfortunately i feel grouchy inside when i get this exhausted. but all will be well soon. i'm off to bed. a few good nights of sleep may work wonders!)
