I’m 10 weeks pregnant and suffer with Anxiety/Panic and Depression, and feel so alone with my symptoms…
Anyone out there can relate and have any good stories?
Buspar is often used to treat anxiety attacks. It works by reducing the amount of serotonin (a neurotransmitter) in the brain. But be careful. Some doctors will prescribe Buspar AND an antidepressant. Most of the newer antidepressant work to INCREASE serotonin levels. Conflicting medications like this can cause some serious side effects.
Hi, my sister has panic/anxiety attacks on a regular basis. I am currently in China and will be here for awhile. I usually went with her to see doctors, because I went through this years ago and it empowers her to see that if I can do it, then she can do it. Problem is she has been takng alprazolam (Xanax) for several years and its not too effective anymore. Are there any new, cutting edge meds that she could switch too? I saw something about klonopin on another post, stating that it takes immediate effect? Is there anyone that has any experience with this or any other new meds. Many doctors do not know much about new meds, I need to hear from personal experience. She is already doing altinative relaxation techniques:Yoga, deep breathing, etc. So no need for advice about that, just about something more updated that she can talk to her doctor about. Wish I could be there for her, but maybe its good for her to face it on her own. Thanks for any info.
I get really bad panic attacks, like when driving or going to class and I can’t control them. it’s really getting to be bothersome and is very stressful.
I am currently 16 years old ad i have been suffering with severe anxiety/ panic disorder since i was 13. I have tried everything from 8 diffrent medications to bio feedback to acupuncture. I see a theripist twice a week and I am currently taking Cymbalta . I have switched schools over this and my grades, relationships, and just my quilaty of life has been greatly effected. I really want to get my life back, if anyone has any suggestions or anything i would really appreciate it so much. Thank You.
Can anyone who takes any medicine for anxiety or not…tell me what panic attacks feel like? I would like to know if what i think one is…is really what it is to everyone else. What are some experiences that you’ve had that triggered severe anxiety or panic attacks? I am thinking that maybe i need to go to a doctor but…I wonder what to tell my doctor??? Mind you…i go to a military doctor and for anyone that’s military…you know how they can be!!lol Thanks for the input in advance!
Going through a very, very, rough time right now and am having severe anxiety. Very close to a panic attack and I’m scared. My DR will not prescribed anything other than Prozac and that isn’t helping although taken for several years. Looking for something natural, (I will continue with Prozac) it’s the only way I can do this.
Ive been taking the Zoloft two months now. My anxiety and panic attacks are the same if not worse. I dont understand why I would be put on this and not given something like I have been told about Xanax? How do I talk to my doctor about getting on something for my panic attacks?
I don’t want anything I’d need a prescription for, just something to stop a panic attack when it happens.
I suffer from panic attacks, and have a huge fear of rain/thunder storms. I can cope with the attacks, because I know that they will end, and a new day will begin. Tonite, we are expecting some bad weather. I cannot go online, or shower (this is what usually calms me) during this, so what are some things I can do? I always feel nauseas and have diahrea when my anxiety is high. If I take bonine and imodium a.d., will that help? What are some techniques that calm you? I have 4 small children, so I must be calm, but alert. Thanks all.
