for example you have symptoms of cancer or something but have not been diagnosed, even though you have a high chance of having cancer based on your symptoms… and you are very very scared, worried, nervous, fearful, depressed, and terrorized, horrified because of the impending diagnosis. Anyway, should you get on the meds for anxiety and depression first or after?

I know it varies from person to person, but what seems to be the most successful for anxiety? I’ve been taking 20mg of Lexapro for anxiety and depression for about 2 years now, and it really helped my depression…. but now my anxiety is through the roof! I’m not sleeping at night and I’ve NEVER had problems sleeping. My doctor sucks and gave me Effexor and I’ve read some really horrible things about it and it seems to me that’s more anti-depression related. I’ve been depressed plenty of times in my life, and I really feel like it’s the anxiety. I think Lexapro did the job pulling me through the depression and I feel okay in that aspect. My thoughts fly through my head 90 miles per hour and I shake almost constantly, I get short of breath, I freak out about petty things, and all in all I just CAN’T calm down and relax. It’s kind of embarrassing… Any suggestions on an anxiety medicine that seem to work really well??

Help! I have been struggling with horrible anxiety and depression, and I know I will have to get back on meds to help myself. However, I’m afraid of putting on weight after working so hard at getting the pounds off from being on Zoloft a couple of years ago. Any suggestions of which medications can work without the weight gain?

I know i have anxiety and depression even though I have never been actually diagnosed. I lost my mom when i was 13 yo and after had some major changes in life. I am now in my 20’s, married, with a good job but I still suffer from depression. Some days I get really in the dumps like when my husband and I disagree. Just wondering how other people deal with these problems with out taken meds.

Especailly since it’s been clinically proven that certain types of therapy are just as effective at treating mild to moderate cases of anxiety and depression as antidepressant and antianxiety medication?

I especially hate the metaphor used to describe some types of mental illness as if it’s the same as epilespy or diabetes, when it’s clearly not!! Mental illness is not just a brain or physical disorder and that does not mean that those who suffer are at fault or weak and just need to cheer up, just that medication isn’t the only answer to most people’s mental illess!
I’d also like to add that the antidepressant commercials out there are so misleading, is capitalism and corprate greed to blame?
I’ve actually been on medication and considering going back on meds. I understand that not everyone has mild or moderate symptoms and that medication can and does help, but I don’t think it’s wise to veiw mental illness as the brains diabetes or to think that medication should be suggested to everyone we know because the little bouncing guy on the Zoloft commercial felt mildly anxious at a party. (this kind of go get medication advice happens a lot on this website, so does asking about meds before anything else)

He told me that my levels of serotonin in my brain were the reason why I had these problems. He told me I would be on the Prozac for 9months then I would be able to maintain these levels on my own and be fine. Not going back to the anxiety and depression I had before…I m not so certain?
