I too suffer terrible anxiety when starting a new med..I always stare at it for about 3 days, then with shaking hands take the first dose..I've had some awful experiences with starting meds so I work closely with my pdoc (by phone as it's an hour drive) usually 2-3 times a week. He's pulled me off some quickly (trazadone was one) and some he's been able to calm me (sometimes with extra clonazapam) to try to get through the first couple of weeks..
It's hard to take a new med when you're hanging on by your toenails..knowing that a new med is quite possibly going to make you feel worse for a couple of weeks..
Kudos to all us babblers who keep getting back on the med roller coaster!!
