Hello everyone,

I’ve been off subs for about 6 months now. Had a minor 4-5 day tramadol 50mg relapse about 4 months ago.
For the past months however my anxiety is going through the roof. I tried seroquel for that but it didn’t do very much.
A week ago i was put on zoloft for my anxiety/depression. I can deal with the depression but the anxiety is really debilitating Sad I’m really considering leaving work for a few months, for it to hopefully sort out.

For anyone who’s been off subs for a while, what are your experiences with anxiety? Does it go away and how long did it last from your experience?

Warm Regards

We are talking social related anxiety? I still get it from time to time. It seems to be tied to level of selfesteem – when its low, doing simple things can trigger anxiety for me – i can sort of feel the tension rise in my jaw and my shoulders.
It does get better if you practice though and relatively to when i had around 2-3 months off, its defenately better now (~1year off) – without being completely gone.
I tryed paraxotine a couple of months ago, and it actually felt like it helped – but because i got some weird sideeffects i stopped taking them.
For me the key thing is working on that selfesteem.Smile
