A few years ago, I developed panic disorder, and due to the panic attacks, I also developed depression. Even before taking any medication, or anything, the panic attacks made me gain weight. Is this a common part of anxiety and depression? Does this have anything to do with excess cortisol or adrenaline?
You know, the weight came on before the medication. I guess I have been eating more as a way to feel more stable.

I have an appointment to get anxiety and depression medication that I genuinely need. Which depression and/or anxiety medications are most notable for weight loss? I want to take whatever helps with appetite suppression. PLEASE don’t answer if you don’t have an answer to my question… in other words, please don’t tell me not to take medication for the weight loss. It’s just a fun bonus that I want.
Thanks- I’m also trying to get Adderall but because I need a 4.0.

Okay. So I have been diagnosed with both Anxiety and Depression, but lately i have been feeling like i am going crazy! like i feel like i’m not even here sometimes it feels like i don’t know who i am. i am on house arrest and these walls feel like they are going to make me crazy! do you think i am going insane? or what PLEASE HELP!
also i have been having bad anxiety attacks lately.

I have experienced anxiety and depression from taking chantix. I was wondering if anyone that has experienced these side effects could tell me how long these bad feelings stick around?

I’m an 18 year old senior in high school. I’m current on 150 mg of Zoloft a day. I’ve been recieving therapy for several months, but I really haven’t improved at all. I have problems with anxiety and depression.

The Zoloft has really helped with depression, but my anxiety is still very bad (if not worse then before the medicine). I’ve had a few panic attacks since starting the medicine (one very serious one in the middle of class). I also twitch quite a bit, it could just be that I’m so cold though…

My therapist would not diagnosis me with anything because I think she said she was more of a humanist or something. However she said that in order to treat my anxiety we would probably have to get the depression under control and it is pretty much now.

So I was wondering how effective talk therapy was for helping with anxiety? I’ve always thought I had social anxiety disorder, but my therapist is reluctant to diagnosis anything.
Also what other forms of therapy may be more effective?

Description of my anxiety
Well like most highschool guys I get most anxious around girls, but for me it isn’t uncommon for me to have anxiety or panic attacks.
I usually try to flee from conversations because I never have anything to say and I’m worried for some reason. So it will usually come with faster breathing & heart beat… possibly some twitching.

When just being in public I’m told that I look very uncomfotable and even at time that I look like I’m going to pass out.

Just sitting in class I will have problems twitching (mainly hands shaking and mouth doing something similar to shivering).
yes my depression has pretty much subsidded (and only in about a months period with the first medication, everyone was telling me change it and not even to give the zoloft a chance).

I really don’t feel a need to be diagoisnised with a specific disorder, I just feel my anxiety symptoms best first social anxiety disorder for best reference as to what my problems are like and what therapy would be useful in treating it.

I’ve heard a lot about CBT for treating anxiety and I think my therapist may use some.
I don’t see where you got the impression that the therapist does not listen to me. Just because she won’t diagonis me with some medical term doesn’t really mean anything to me. It won’t change how I’m feeling or the symptoms I’m experiencing and it would not change her method.

Isn’t it better to form the therapy to the individual patient instead of just switching because of something like that?

I was in a car accident a year and half ago and have been suffering from anxiety and depression (manic episodes) since. I was prescribed Paxil (Paroxetine HCL 10 MG, one tablet SID for one week. Two tablets for the remainder)

I am not sure as to what the side effects are, or if this is even something I should be taking. I trust the doctor, but I need to hear from anyone whom may have taken this before, or know of anyone who has experience with it. I don’t want to dig myself deeper into anxiety or worry.

I have really bad anger issues and social anxiety, and depression problems. I used to be on meds but I’m not anymore, and the symptoms are back. Im 20 and I cant be depending on my mom for rides. How can I take a bus or train without having a panic attack? People think I’m lazy because I only want rides, it angers me because that is not the case at all. Please help.

I took roaccutane and holistics say this is the cause for my anxiety and depression.. ihave been to some scary forums where people have developed psychiatric conditions because of it.

and their is roaccutane science as well if you google it..is this true? I developed panic attacks and social anxiety and depression and generalized anxiety after taking it…could it be the fear of what I read or is their proof? I took it 4 years ago and still suffer.

I have been having anxiety and depression for about 3 years now. I get anxiety the worst if I have work the next day, or have something important that day. Usually I don’t actually end up going to It because I will feel like I’m on the verge of having a panic attack. I have never gotten and treatment for this.
Today this has happened and because of other reasons I have more stress then usual.
How can I relieve my stress and anxiety today naturally?

What did you do to cope with your anxiety and depression without the use of medication?

Are there any natural treatments for anxiety and depression? Sure there are plenty of medications out there but there has to be some sort of natural treatments for anxiety and depression.

I have bad anxiety and depression problems and I don’t have a job. I need one because i don’t have money to live, i live with my mom and she needs help with rent, food and bills. I have had a couple jobs but depression adn anxiety got in the way adn I quit them. if i were to go to college or university to get a degree what should i take to get a job where i can work mostly from home? (getting therapya dn drugs is not an option for me, i dont have the money for either and i dont have health care)

If you take these meds and feel better, happier, calmer, more rationable and feel like a reasonable human being, does that mean that you definitely have either an anxiety disorder or a depression disorder of some sorts that is underlying?

I seem to be very irritable and depressed and anxious and can’t concentrate very well that seemed to have increased with my age, and then I started taking some ativan, and 5-htp. In time I noticed my mood lift and generally I just felt alot better.

So, does that mean that since I’m a responder, that I do have anxiety and depression?

Also, if a "normal" person took these, would they notice any differences? thanks.
