Anxiety, Depression, ADD symptoms?
Mar 9th
Well basically I think I suffer from all 3 of these illnesses. I just want to be sure that I do have them before I go to the doctor and try to get medication, so I don’t embarrass myself by being wrong about having these illnesses. I’ll list the symptoms I’m seeing for each illness below
Anxiety- Basically have panic attacks, short breaths, hard to breath, shaking, adrenaline pumping very hard, can feel my heart pound, face turns bright red. Usually happens when I’m public speaking,talking to a girl I like, or am in an awkward/embarrassing situation
Depression- Mood swings that make me very sad. Emotional at times. Cry myself to sleep some night, not happy at all. Suicidal thoughts (almost attempted many times), feel like nothing to live for, lonely, would rather stay in my house alone then go out on a Friday night.
ADD- can’t focus, can’t study or do work at all. Education (such as math) doesn’t come easy to me at all.
So what do you all think? Do you think I suffer from all 3 of these? I don’t want to sound like I’m "assuming the worst" or anything when I talk to the doctor.

How can i reduce my anxiety?
Feb 9th
i have anxiety disorder, and its really ruining my life, i dont know what to do, ive tried seeing a psychiatrist, and i was prescribed 2 different kinds of medication, i tried one kind of medication first, it seemed to help me control my emotions more in general, but whenever i did have mood swings my mood swings would be more intense, so i went off it… and then i tried another kind of medication, the other kind helped me feel less stressed, but it made me more antisocial, and i already have social anxiety and have alot of problems with being social, but the medication made me more antisocial, so that wasnt good, so i went off that medication… and now my psychiatrist wont recommend any other treatment… i have seen counselors before but i dont think counseling helped at all, and i cant really see a therapist or professional counselor cuz those are expensive, i just dont have the money to do that… i really dont know what to do, i feel stressed almost all the time, lately ive been feeling nervous and stressed nearly every waking moment, and ive been having troubles sleeping and i havnt even been eating because of my stress, i really dont have any idea how to deal with it

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

What’s the best MEDICATION treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder?
Feb 5th
Please don’t list any benzodiazapenes.
Please list medications only, and no miracle cures. Please don’t answer if you dont have social anxiety and have never undergone treatment; in other words, dont post what you read on a website. I’m looking for honest answers from personal experience. Please don’t mention any kinds of "therapy" (cognitive, group,etc.) I’m only interested in medications, preferrably those currently available in the US.
I know that everyone responds differently to medicine, but I’m basically just asking what (if anything) has worked for you.

need some anxiety disorder advice?
Feb 2nd
so i have been recently diagnosed with a anxiety disorder due to panic attacks and unwanted thoughts, which i learned is hypochrondria. I think that every little pain in my body some kind of cancer or a certain disease. I have also recently notice that my tongue seems too big for my mouth causing my speech to decline (which people have said its fine). I have been prescribed xanax, but I do not take it regularly because of the addiction effects. my question is, how do i deal with anxiety without medication? any suffers found ways to cop with anxiety?
