Anxiety disorder came back after going through pregabalin withdrawal
Hi guys so just to make things clear ive always had anxiety and i was pretty much selfmedicating with weed since i was a teenager to cope but last year something happened and my anxiety was through the roof and so 2 suddenly 2 days in a row i had the craziest panic attacks ever i was literally shaking on the floor not being able to breathe,so i went to the ER stayed there for 2 days and they told me i pretty much have GAD and panic attacks induced from smoking weed,so i got prescribed sertraline,stopped smoking and took the sertraline fo 4-5 months weaned off and then i stopped it and honestly i felt really good while on it and even after i stopped it like i was feeling really peaceful all the time but i went through a really rough breakup(ik its not an excuse for what i did)and so i binged for a month on pregabalin on very very high doses for a month,stopped cuz i realised what was happening i was getting addicted again and went through THE WORST WITHDRAWALS EVER LIKE I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN IT NO SLEEP,NO FOOD,NO WATER,AND THE WORST DEPRESSION IVE EVER HAD,so a month went and i got better but but my anxiety came back at all time high and now 6 months passed since i did this stupid shit but i still get anxiety attacks and they arent provoked by anything like i literally sit at my home and start feeling tense,my jaw locks,my face muscles get tense and my heart start beating fast asf,i think abt going back on sertraline but i really didnt like the fact that it gave me sexual side effects and hair thinning a lot,so do you guys have any suggestions on other medication or something i can reduce my anxiety with,im sorry for the long post i just needed to vent honestly and here i do it the best in the comfort of my home,i hope you guys have a great day ;)
