I was getting increased anxiety from my anti anxiety med and my doctor had me taper off so I could try something else. Well, I didn’t realize how bad my withdrawal was and I had the mood swings, and then the panic. I threatened to quit (which I can’t), called out sick and now I don’t know how to explain it to my boss that it was too fast of a withdrawal and that I’m going to be fine. Well, I’ll still have anxiety but I’ll be able to function at work. I have a pretty intense job right now with a lot of responsibility and I’ve always been secure in being able to perform my job and do it well. This was the first time I felt like I wasn’t going to be able to do my job and I freaked.
