depends on the exact nature.
Most commonly in the west in benzodiazapines such as alprazolam or clonazepam. (over here, we also still use barbiturates and meprobamate) Sometimes, they will also an anti depressant such as an SSRI or tricyclic to get to the route of the anxiety. Or an antiphysotic such as olazapine or prochlorperazine if your anxiety has bizarre qualities such as being anxious that major league baseball is trying to assassinate you.
One of the newer anti anxiety drugs is Buspirone.
I’ve also seen Beta blockers like Clonidine being used to help control anxiety as well, they work by blocking the effects of adrenaline.
All in all, its a complex disorder to manage and has many treatment options best chosen by one on one in person consult with a professional.
What are the pros and cons for therapy and for medicine when dealing with post traumatic stress disorder?
Usually I will use Xanax but my prescription is out.
I am so depressed and I have panic attacks all the time. Also I feel like I am going to lose control at anytime.I get all light headed and I feel like crap. What medicine is the best. I am on Xanax and its not working. Is Zoloft ok?
Medicine is one of my last resorts. I have tried meditation, relaxaion, counseling and even though overall i get better my anxiety really hasnt!
Okay I have been showing alot of physical signs of stress. I think its getting so bad I might need to be on long term medicine. I am kinda afraid of being on medicine for the brain and I am not sure if this is the route I should go. What do you think would best for me to do? Just take the medicine?
Is any body taking medicine for social anxiety and panick attacks and does it work? And than when you stop using them after a while do you even feel worse than before? How long do you have to take them?
I’ve started getting quite stressed with planning my wedding eventhough its still 4 months away. I have everything under control, yet I still wake up in the middle of the night worrying about LITTLE SILLY things!!
Thing I am just overall stressed and therefore in the night I wake up stressing about minor things. My back and neck are aching from the tension!
Can anyone recommend some herbal tablets or anything I can take to relax more and help me de-stress generally? Thanks!!!
I would like to quit taking medicine for panic attacks, but I’m afraid that if I do they will come back full force because I still get them when driving. Has anyone tried the program “Panic Away”? Or anything else for panic anxiety attacks that worked for them?
i do relaxation and breathing techniques myself. I find that works very well! also i really would suggest you do find a doctor/counselor who can help you in that area and who can maybe put you on some medication that will help with the anxiety.
good luck to you! and remember you are not alone!
