I was on a good combo of trileptal and Wellbutrin for mild bipolar/depression. I’ve gotten anxiety and the occasional anxiety attack but nothing too extreme.  My partner and I are getting ready to start a family so I weaned off trileptal under my doctor’s guidance. I upped my Wellbutrin but noticed an uptick in anxiety so I went back to my normal dose. Now, my anxiety has been steadily increasing this week. 

Last night was the longest anxiety attack I’ve ever had. It was hours long and kept coming in waves. It felt like I was choking and couldn’t breathe and it took everything in me to focus on not freaking out. 

I’m feeling pretty low today. The anxiousness from last night is gone but I’m so afraid of it coming back tonight. I’m worried I’ll never find equilibrium again, this sucks.  I have an email in to my doctor but they’re not in until Monday and the thought of this continuing all weekend sounds terrible.
