Should I seek panic therapy to stop my panic attacks? I’ve been on meds (Celexa) for a while to stop my panic attacks but I heard that those medicines were for anti-depressants instead of treating panic attacks. If anyone knows please tell, thanks.

Also, are there any studies that suggest that anti-depressants can actually cause MS?

I have severe anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, and it is making it very hard for me to function in my everyday life. Since I am a teenager, I’m at a point where it’s dangerous to take medication like anti-depressants and anti-anxiety (since your brain changing so much), so my parents don’t really want me on those kinds of drugs.
But I’m having a very hard time controlling my OCD and anxiety, so I really need an alternative solution that doesn’t involve such strong medications.
I really need help, I’ve had my OCD since third grade and it has become extremely severe since I never told anyone until last year. And my anxiety is so extreme that I have done really weird things (like cutting my socks and other strange things) and it is disturbing to my whole family.
Thanks in advance to anyone that answers.

i believe i have social anxiety disorder. Whenever i am the center of attention (giving a speech or something like that) i almost always get very red in the face, my heart rate increases a lot, my thoughts are not clear, and my voice trembles.

i have researched this disorder for some time and everywhere i look i see stories that it is a horrible disorder, it can ruin peoples social lives, and drugs are needed to HELP this disorder.

i need to know if it is possible to psychologically overcome this disorder. I am only 18 years old, and i dont want to go on anti-depressants and what not, i just want to try and overcome this disorder.

has anyone ever heard of someone that overcame social phobia without the use of prescription drugs?

I know it’s a horrible idea to mix alcohol and any medication, especially anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants. I also know that everyone is different and people react differently. But I was just wondering if you know of any anti-anxiety meds/anti depressants that are not as horrible to mix with alcohol.

I’ve been taking anti-depressants for almost two months, and while I think they’re helping a little, they’re way too expensive (0/month!). I’ve tried St. John’s Wort and that didn’t seem to help. What are some other, inexpensive ways to fight depression and anxiety? (If meditation or yoga, anything specific?)

Anxiety..?




I am 17 and just looked at all the symptoms for anxiety and they relate to me very much. I am going to see the doctor soon about it and was wondering what they do for that? Do they give you pills? If so are the pills ok healthwise to take? The reason im asking is because my cousin went on anti-depressants and she couldnt get off them after..

Which birth control pills can I take with Lexapro?




I’ve been taking Lexapro (10 mg) for depression for about a year. I’m doing well, but I plan to stay on this dose for at least a couple months longer. I’d like to start taking birth control pills, preferably a low-dose pill (Loestrin or Yasmin). I’ve heard the low-dose pills have less side effects than the others. Can I take bc pills and anti-depressants, or will Lexapro lower the effectiveness of the bc (or vice-versa)? Is there a particular brand or type of bc pills that are better to take alongside anti-depressants than others?

Like 10 minutes ago I felt like killing myself but now I feel great!

The doctors tried putting me on anti-depressants, why didn’t they just recommend natural ways I can feel better?
