Glad to hear you … Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Do these drugs need to be taken for life? Just wondering. If this is too personal a question, just ignore my comment. I don’t want to sound pushy or too nosy. I am in a very difficult situation with anxiety (some agoraphobia) right now and have millions of questions and want to hear about the successful people who overcome anxiety and stress.
I was diagnosed … I was diagnosed with GAD about 10 years ago at age 37. The only thing that helped me is taking a combination of Paxil and Buspar. Slowly all my physical and mental symptoms went away and have been gone ever since. It is an imbalance of brain chemicals that causes GAD and Paxil just corrects this imbalance. We’re so lucky that we happen to be living in a time where we have the products on the market that can easily cure this. Please don’t be worried about taking these drugs. They really work!
i have GAD shyness … i have GAD shyness and depression…its sucks so bad, espicially when on the spot light. and ive never had a girlfriend im 19 soon turning 20. please help me
by doing this your … by doing this your mind can take a break from worrying and you can focus on doing wat your doing. I advise you do something you like, like going out doing things that you would like to do but havent because they make you uncomftorble. i’ve been there i am living proof that the brain is not made that way and thier is a cure
anxiety is not … anxiety is not there because the brain was made that way. It happens over a long term of worry which becomes a habbit making you now worrying and making your emotions ten fold thier is a cure you must not fight this anxiety but let these thoughts come through and give this anxiety no respect. Your mind is worn out and you dont give it a break by worrying day in and day out. This becomes a life style. You must have a focus by doing thing that may seem pointless at first or uncomfortable.
i have had this … i have had this since i was a young child but it perpetuated as i got older. i also have panic disorder. ever since i began taking lexapro i have been so much better. but if i forget to take it it’s terrible.
Yea, avoiding … Yea, avoiding caffine and things with high sugar or fat has really helped me. I don’t feel light headed as much and my heart palliation don’t occur as daily as they use too.
I can’t even get up … I can’t even get up without having a major adrenaline rush… I fear stroke, heart failure, etc… all this happen after I started taking xanax for GAD lol
If I dont drinks … If I dont drinks caffine or smoke cigarettes i dont have anxiety attacks anymore. I quit smoking and consuming caffine completely and didnt have any heart pallipations or anxiety attacks
(sorry about the … (sorry about the deleted comments, was trying to make my whole comment fit together properly)
I was diagnosed with Gad earlier this week and was put on 75 mg Effexor XR in the morning and 100 mg doxepin at night,
How I Relate:
Restless,
On edge,
Easily … On edge,
Easily fatigued,
Sleep problems,
Muscle tension,
Concentration,
Irritability,
Has lasted most of my life,
Worry anywhere and everywhere,
Cant control my worries,
Catastrophize,
Overestimate certain things,
Lump in my throat,
Trouble swallowing,
Depression,
My reassurance as demonstrated watching this video,
Parents say Im a worry wart,
Worry about lots of … Worry about lots of different/stupid things,
My medication doesnt and shouldnt fully take away my anxiety,
Dont get hives,
My mom seems to have it but denies it, she is:
Irritable,
Not sleeping well,
Not focused (always zoned out),
Needs constant reassurance,
Depressed,
Easily fatigued,
Very worrisome,
And Im 15 years old, just wondering if anyone else can relate with the same amount of symptoms as me or maybe even more, thanks

I have the same … I have the same thing happen to me very often. At least 2/3 times a month sometimes more. It can be very bothersome. I notice when I’m under a great deal of stress, which is more often than not, I have this occurance. I’ve had them referred to as Witch Rides. In my opinion, from having these since I was a small child.I’m 35 now, I think and stress the word think, they are partial OBE’s(Out of Body Experiences) Look this up, you’ll be suprised at what you find. And yes, I have GAD/Depression.
what i do is i … what i do is i accept and allow those anxiety feelings when they come up and float with them not try to fight them or fear them.if you supresses them you will become emotionally fatigued and feel drained and depressed.just ALLOW and FLOAT with the feelings.
