I need medication for my anxiety/depression (I’m going through counseling too), but also want to be able to have a drink occasionally. Do you know of any anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication that it is safe to drink with? I will ask my psychiatrist when I see him in two weeks but until then I’m hoping to get some answers and look into these meds as possibilities.

Thank you

I have been in the navy 6 years as a Master At Arms. When I first came in, the navy said I have anxiety and put me on meds. Then some instruction changed and they took my gun away until I came off of the meds. I know the instruction changed again allowing waivers for certain meds. I have tried to find out any information without asking to many questions. I basically need to go back on the meds, but dont want my gun taken away. Please help me.

I know this depends on one’s particular physiology and symptoms and so on, but in my experience each medication tends to cause the same side effect profile in most people. Currently I am on 20 mg per day of Lexapro and I am trying to decide whether or not to try a different medication. I have been on it for several months and, although it has helped my anxiety it has come with a cost. Namely, I have the following unpleasant side effects: (1) apathy, low motivation; (2) fatigue, drowsiness; and (3) anorgasmia, decreased sex drive. Also, I do not feel as though Lexapro has addressed my depression, only my anxiety. Decreasing the dosage isn’t an option because the positive effects just disappear. But I do not want to go through withdrawal (brain zaps, mostly) if it’s just going to be the same with a dif med. If anyone has had a similar experience and can offer some advice, I’d be very grateful. (No need to respond if you just want to tell me it’s all in my head or need God.) Thanks.

I have been taking lexapro for over 3 weeks now. I don’t feel as much anxiety as I did, but now I’m tired and a little unmotivated (at times). What can I do?

I am about at my wit’s end with anxiety, but I just hate the loss of sexual sensitivity that meds have given me. Is there anything that doesn’t have this side effect?

I’ve had a problem for the past few years with anxiety- whenever I get nervous, I start to feel sick to my stomach.

I’ve seen a therapist and for the most part, my anxiety went away, but whenever I see my best friend who I rarely see, I start getting anxiety again. I’m always queezy in the first place because of my feelings, but it makes it even harder.

How can I stop this? How can I calm myself down?

We are not close at all. I’ve talked to her about my anxiety and hinted about getting help before, but she just ignores me and changes the subject. My anxiety is horrible now. I vomit every single morning before I have to go to work/do something. School is starting in 5 weeks and I don’t think I can face it without some kind of help. What do I say? I really would like a step by step conversation to bring this up to my mom. What if she ignores me again? Help please!

So I have things coming up, and they’re about a week or two from now. I feel really sick waiting for them to come. I hate it. It’s like I don’t want to do anything, or I might throw up.
What can I do about this anxiety from too much anticipation?

Both my parents and I know that I need to go to have a psych evaluation ASAP, but they don’t like talking about it to me / helping me.
I have very very very bad anxiety and don’t understand how someone like me could make the phone call to the hospital, tell someone in person that I am in an ongoing psychiatric crisis, and then answer all the doctor’s questions. I don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone/being around other people and I just can’t understand how I can get help.
