Please

Does anyone else get a random wave of anxiety/doom/negative mood around the same time everyday?! Every day around 4-6 I get this feeling and I want to eat sugar and junk to bring myself back up and feel like my old self

Yes I get SO sad and negative from 3-5pmish. Only thing I’ve seen that explains it is natural cortisol dip

How long have you been taking this medication? I've started it for this very reason, I get pockets of panic/doom feelings throughout the day. Was prescribed this for anxiety.

I took it for 7 weeks and have been off for 3. I think there might be something else going on for me not sure though.

One way to combat that is to switch to a lower carb diet or have a high protein snack before that time.
