Help with panic/anxiety medications…?
Feb 5th
I have been suffering from panic disorder for 5 years. I have gone through therapy where the doctor just ended drugging me up with so many different types of anti-depressants..which didn’t work, they only made me have more anxiety. the one doctor gave me xanax. Only 1 mg a day..to be split in half, half in the am when I wake up, and half in the afternoon around 4…since then I can count the amount of anxiety/panic attacks I have had on one hand. Yes I know…THEY ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE..BUT THEY WORK. Also I have found no matter what medication you take they are all addictive. Has anyone found a medication that actually helps with the anxiety? No Effexor, Lexapro, Paxil…etc. I have tried these. Just needingt some help and feedback. Thanks

I don’t know where my life is going anymore?
Nov 23rd
Ive been depressed for 7 months now. I have general anxiety disorder and ADD. I missed a lot of days at school because the side effects of the anti depressants I was on, and my grades are starting to drop. My parents always yell at me, and I feel worthless. I’ve contemplated suicide numerous times, and I don’t know what to do.
Im off the anti depressants

Will I gain weight on Celexa?
Nov 14th
I have General anxiety disorder and Social anxiety disorder. I’ve never taken any anti-depressants before, but yesterday my doctor prescribed me Citalophram or whatever, which is Celexa.
He’s starting me on half a pill a day, which is 10mgs. Will I gain weight? I’ve read stories on here of people gaining 20-90 pounds, which is ridiculous. I’m scared of taking it because I don’t want to gain weight.

Does anyone have these anxiety symptoms?
Nov 14th
I have been diagnosed with panic disorder about two weeks ago before i was diagnosed I had been up under a great deal of stress for about two weeks straight. Then I noticed one day that my muscles were twiching more than usually then that same night my muscles twiched in my chest and scared me. I thought my heart was doing somthing weird so this caused me to have a panic attack. For the rest of the night I felt really weak and had a head ache. Then next day I woke up feeling really weak and tired and I had chest pains. The next day I went to the doctor and told him how i was feeling and what happened and he put me on Effexor. For the past two months I had had tremors mostly in the legs, Chest pain in different parts of the chest, twiching muscles all over the body, Feeling real jittery at times, Feeling dizzy or light-headed from time to time throughtout the day, I have had this pressuer on the leftside of my head for 2 weeks, headaches, neck aches, heart speeds up 57-64bpm to 77-86
well I am not on effexor any more I been off it for over two weeks now I am on the generic brand of zoloft (Serlaline) because My family doctor up my dosage to 150mg form 75mg and I was almost sleep 2 nights after wards and rolled over and felt my heart racing with no symtoms of a panic attack so I went to the ER room and they did an EKG and said to find nothing wrong with my heart at the time but when i first got there my pulse was like 111 then after being there a while the nurse check it and she said that it was down to 81 and she asked me did it still seem to be beating fast and i said yes because usually at rest My puse ranges form 53bpm to 63bpm So I am really scared right now I am a 21 year old male in college was an athelete until all this came about. At times i wonder is there somthing wrong with my nevous system cause by stress. I wish I wouldn’t never started taking any kind of Anti-depressants.
I also sweat real easily esp. at night during sleep My legs sweat more than anything else. Then I also get cold real easy. I have always been a hot natured person every since i was a little kid. I havent really had any test done on my heart or any besides an EKG and a BLood test. The frequent coming a going chest pain that come and go really scare me at times. I has feel as if I have the little episodes of being short of breath when i am not doing nothing I also be trying to fall asleep and at time i will either jump or awake with a snort or gasp for a breath

why would a teenager abuse lexapro?
Oct 23rd
i was getting some socks out of my little brother’s drawer when i was home for the weekend, and i found a bag of pills in the corner. i looked them up on the internet and theyre lexapro, but i cant see why he’d keep lexapro use on the down low.
i see that it’s an SSRI, anti-depressant, and used for general anxiety disorder, so would he be using them to get high? is that possible? or is he sneaking around with anti-depressants for another reason?
