Taking anxiety medication?

Post Reply New Topic

What I find annoying are 1/2 twits Tom Cruise and gaia loving hippies who spread their "big pharma" routine, they are the ones who are the danger , if I had it my way they would be jailed for crimes against humanity (seriously)

Funny that the natural health care companies must be doing it for altruistic reasons , my beta blockers cost 1/3 the price of the natural medications to complement it ....

did you check out my anxiety guide? to lazy to post it so instead will let you do the work , these conversations are helpful a member here suggested melatonin , I would have thought weed would be dangerous for a anxiety ? or perhaps over the long term.

What I find particularly cruel about this condition is being treated like a ret*d when the words become muddled or you struggle having the words come out , I had moronic police note I wasn't "sociable " recently , I wonder if they did note it on my permanent record ? would they prefer I speak and annoy them , or have them accuse me of being on drugs ?

I take clomipramine for OCD, anxiety and low moods. Before I went on it, I was doing compulsive rituals for 8 hours a day and I've had to repeat the year at university. But now I am doing quite a bit better OCD-wise. Anxiety is still there though, but I have clonazepam PRN if I need it.

I take anxiety meds.

I got diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder about a year ago and started taking Buspar. It is a non-addictive anti-anxiety medication. It works well for me. It also seems to help my anti-depressant work better. For me, anxiety is like water is for a fish. I never noticed how bad my anxiety was until l started getting treated for it. At first I was scared because of how many bad things I have seen with people abusing benzos. I thought taking anything for anxiety would be dangerous. I haven't had any negative side effects. It made me drowsy in the beginning but not now. I can function much better with my anxiety under control. I still get anxious at times, but taking the medicine keeps my baseline level of anxiety low enough that I can use meditation or mindfulness to deal with the residual anxiety.

I’ve found very small doses of Xanax work very well for me. I break a 0.25mg table into 6 parts and it’s about the right dose. With such a small dose it’s not a problem to take one before I start doing something anxiety causing or if it looks like the day might be bad. One of the great things about this, is if 1 piece isn’t enough (some days are just like that) I can take more without feeling guilty.

I found Buspirone (buspar generic) has worked really well. I can't quite believe what life used to be like.

I'm taking an anti-psychotic called abilify. My anxiety was so horrible that I was suffering from depressive tendencies. I wanted to self-harm and do anything to get rid of the anxiety I was dealing with. Nothing worked. So, I told my psychiatrist about it after a ex-friend told me about abilify. I mentioned to him, and he prescribed it to me. Ever since I've taken it, my life has been much better. It's like I can do a lot more without crippling anxiety making me go crazy. I do get occasional anxiety, but it's usually do to going to the dentist or my anime convention... stuff like that.

Diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder NOS and Depression. I take 20mg of Paxil each night.

I've taken many anti depressants and anti anxiety medications. All of them make me feel tired. Currently I'm taking Lorazepam and Lamotrigine. I think they help some but I still have high anxiety. It is probably because I have to focus more then I should on communication. Not to mention being over stimulated for a large portion of the day.

I take 0.5mg of Clonazepam in the morning and another 0.5mg at night, it's been helping so far. Thinking that I need a dosage increase though, since I still feel some anxiety. I take a host of other medications for other stuff too.

I take lorazepams too when I have severe panic attacks and need to calm down fast.
