I feel very jumpy despite my Anti anxiety medications lately
Although I am doing quite well on my new regime of Celexa and Neurontin, as opposed to Paxil CR and Neurontin for my Anxiety Disorder, lately I am having some breakthrough jumpiness. I feel fine upon awakening. But during the day, if I am engaged in an activity that is important to me, I find myself feeling very jumpy. I literally feel like my nerve endings in my arms and torso are loose. I feel almost shaky. I am waiting for my psychiatrist to return my phone call to see what adjustment he will make. Previously I have had similar issues. One time he lowered the Celexa. Another time he raised the neurontin. Wish me luck. Today I took a Xanax CR to offset the jumpiness, but it didn’t give me the calmness that I usually get with it.

Hi,
My name is Jenny and I am part of an online community called CarePlace, for people experiencing similar health related issues, including anxiety. We have recently added a new community and forum for anxiety related concerns to the site.
As your blog relates to what we are doing at CarePlace, I was wondering if you might be willing to check out our site and let me know if you think it might be helpful to the people who communicate through and with you. People can join multiple communities, share experiences, check out info on medical conditions and treatments and form their own groups within the site.
We have gotten great feedback and as you know the more people in various communities the more outreach and support that happens. Our users have really liked it so far and we are adding new features all the time based on what everyone is telling us.
It’s really important to us to get feedback from people like you about the site as we develop features – the site is www.careplace.com. You can add me as a friend (jend) and let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a blog that’s not entirely dissimilar to yours. We both seem to focus a bit on not only our personal lives but talk about meds a lot. I was wondering if you’d like to trade links?
[…] However, dropping the trazadone that fast seemed to be causing the jumpiness i talked about in the last post (see http://www.myanxietyblog.com/i-feel-very-jumpy-despite-my-anti-anxiety-medications-lately/) . I backed up and weaned more slowly. But the rozerem never helped at all. In fact, I feel that it made me drowsy in the mornings. So i am back to 50 mg of trazodone and i am sleeping well enough. […]
