I experienced a frightening anxiety attack - I think only those who have experienced one will know what I am talking about. I truly thought I was going to die, that I was losing consciensness and was too weak to even call 911. I just laid on the bathroom floor. It was so scary and I am scared if it happens again. What triggers it and what does it mean? Does it mean I have a mental problem and need to be on meds?

I have been on Lexapro for a while now, 10g. What would smoking weed, ecstasy, shrooms, and alcohol do to me?

Ive seen people try to kill themselves while on certain drugs while on other anti depressants so I am just wondering what it’ll do to me.

Please help!

I am suffering from post partum depression and the Percocet really makes me relax and feel like I have hope. I was given it for my c-section. I was wondering if there are any natural things I could take that could have a similar effect. Not anything bogus or fake, but something that actually helps with depression and anxiety. Something to make me relax. Any help is greatlyaappreciated I want to enjoy my little boy!

I have been taking Effexor XR for several months and just recently I’ve started feeling depressed. I take Effexor for anxiety. I think I remember in my psych class talking about how when anxiety patients take antidepressants they typically deal with depression as a side effect, and visa versa for depression patients. I just want to know if anyone else feels the same way, and if so, do you take a different medication for the depression?

I suffer from panic attacks fairly frequently at the minute, they’re very specific, only happen at night when I’m in bed. I see a psychiatrist for depression and anxiety problems and I spoke to her about my panic attacks yesterday. She gave me some suggestions to deal with them, one of which was to get up out of bed when it happened. But when they do happen I feel totally paralysed with fear, and I believe that if I move, I’ll make the "bad thing" happen. I know it’s totally irrational, but at that moment I just CANNOT move at all. Has anyone else ever experienced this? And if so, how do you overcome it? And even if you haven’t experienced exactly this, what did you find the best way to cope with panic attacks?
I’ve been seeing my psychiatrist regularly for a year. I have problems with social phobia and I think that’s why she hasn’t referred me on to anyone else, she knows it would take me a long time before I could talk to them, so she’s just working with me instead. I’m on venlafaxine for my depression, and she did suggest that I could try buspirone for my panic attacks if they don’t improve. She did give other suggestions as well as getting out of bed, but that’s the most specific problem I have, in that I literally can’t move at all when I’m having a panic attack for fear that it will cause something bad to happen.

I have been taking zoloft and klonopin for anxiety for a while and I think it is no longer helping enough. I am thinking of switching to a different ssri and ativan (instead of klonopin). Any suggestions on what the best med is for generalized anxiety disorder. Thanks!

Most couples therapy is not affective. However, there are forms of counseling couples who are angry and frustrated and are near breaking up. If anything in couples therapy helps, what form or style of therapy is most effective?

I am 12 years old, and I have been having anxiety attacks since I was 7 or 8. I go to a psychiatrist every couple of months, and sometimes a few times a month, but sometimes that doesn’t help. Do you have any way that I could take my mind off of what’s causing the anxiety, or just relax? Thanks for your help!
