Today, I was prescribed medicine for anxiety. Without it, my stomach churns all day. With it, I shake uncontrollably and my eyes twitch. Now I have to choose between diarrhea and rude stares from people in public. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my new anxiety medicine fully entered my system. It makes me shit my brains out. I can either fart and risk shitting my pants every time or I can be too anxious to even enter a public place. FML
Today, I started taking my anxiety meds. Without them I can't function because I'm constantly fighting off panic attacks, but with them I can't function because I get crippling headaches and heartburn and feel tired all the time. FML
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, I was prescribed two different medications. I was also informed that they will both give me diarrhea for the next two weeks. FML
Today, I got diagnosed with a condition that expresses itself in the form of violent diarrhea whenever I get nervous. Now I am constantly nervous about getting nervous about anything. FML
Today, I went to the emergency room. A medicine I'm on for my nerve disease is causing me to have stomach pains. If I get off the medicine though, the nerve disease can get worse. If I stay on the medicine, I can continue to have stomach pains and vomit. FML
Today, I either have to shit my brains out on the hour every hour like clockwork, or stop taking my medicine and go back to suffering debilitating PTSD. Regardless, I’m spending half of my day locked in a small space and unable to live freely. FML
Today, I realized that I needed a new job when I had to take anti-anxiety medication before meeting with my boss. Last time we met, I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I was prescribed anti-anxiety medication due to the high level of stress that I experience at my job. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the medication because I do not make enough money at said job. FML
Today, I woke up to my stomach being torn up from the inside. Barely made it to the bathroom, but of course, it wasn’t the one in my room, where I could easily change my clothes after a quick shower. After running down all my new meds, I realized it had to be my new sleep aid. It was helping too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ask for another medicine? There's not just one for anxiety out there, I'm sure there's one that'll leave your eyes and body be :)

Go for the rude stares. Who knows, maybe someone will think that you're winking at them and you'll find yourself a date.

Just be sure to take then regularly every day and see how they continue to work with your body. I have a friend who has a bad habit of forgetting to take her anxiety meds, so she tends to get with the side effects pretty bad because her body doesn't get used to it.

Try to get another kind of meds. Mine doesn't do things like that to me. Are you sure your not allergic or that it doesn't make you sick from all the ingredients they have? The only thing that anti-depressants and anxiety meds does to me is make me light headed when I miss a day, or when I don't ween off of them when I am switching to a different kind. You should be able to switch kinds and ask if you need a kind of procedure to switch to a different one if this is your first time switching to different kinds of these meds.

@ 42 - You're ****** up. That simple. If you can so easily judge somebody so ignorantly without knowing them on something they can't help, you are ****** up. I've never been this rude on a forum, but **** you. Talking about their failures as if you had ANY inkling of their life. Talking about inventing "imaginery" syndromes that could be entirely real (because I have to deal with the same bullshit every day, and believe I wish mine was just made up). Man up?? Bitch, this person obviously is "manning up" because they still go about their life and day as normal and they've been proactive enough to seek out treatment, but you can't MAN UP passed PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS. Do you know what shit looks like? How about shaking? Twitching? Yep...pretty sure that's real. So before you type something so ridiculously prejudiced, step away from your computer, climb up on your high horse, and **** off. : ) happy day.
