Relationships and Anxiety
Question:
I am scared that my anxiety is so bad it will ruin my relationship. I am currently transferring from Paxil to Lexapro.
I start getting negative thoughts and feelings about my relationship and they have been coming and going for about 3 months now.
It is really bothering me and I just want it to go away. I know I love my boyfriend with all my heart and want to spend the rest of my life with him. Why am I feeling this way and how do I make it go away?
Answer:
Thanks for writing in to Sane Advice. Your transfer will be troublesome as almost all medication changes, but do what your doctor’s say, obey the instructions that come with the medications.
Don’t take your thoughts seriously when you are in this state of flux. Try to find places to find solitude, make sure you eat even if you don’t want to, and consider talking to your doctor regarding about using Ativan (or something like it) while you are in switching medications.
Please remember that you are not alone. No-one is ever alone.
