My anxiety is also increasing, as I'm no longer effectively medicating the symptoms with Effexor or Cymbalta. Also situations that used to trigger anxiety that didn't while I was taking medication are creating anxiety (no mystery there, I guess).
Overall, it helps me to have a white noise machine on so I can concentrate on something innocuous (at the moment it's "Oceanside" noise) instead of thinking about how horrible I feel; and trying to slow down my breathing helps somewhat. I'm thinking of taking up yoga again as it really did instill a lovely feeling of calm.
But for me, at the moment the real relief comes from taking a xanax, or I simply cannot function at work.
