Natural treatment for anxiety symptoms and panic attacks.
I suffer frequently with depression and anxiety. I have been on tablets for sixteen years from the doctor but nothing has worked. Can I beat this naturally? If so how? I have adopted a healthy diet. Stopped alcohol, caffeine and started taking regular exercise, is there anything else I can do?
I am 15 and been prescribed Lexapro on 10 mg for Depression and OCD and I’ve only been on it for about 2 days and I haven’t had thoughts of hurting mself anymore and I don have my mood swings as much, like I used to be happy and love life one minute and the next I just hate life. And now its actually gotten better. Is it the Lexapro working or is this just me?
First of all i was hoping someone can give me a little more information on Light therapy and whether or not it works and if so, will it help me with
1. Sleep Disorder
and
2. Slight Depression
I’m looking at two different ones and wondering which one is better.

I am a 15 year old male. I suffer from severe anxiety and some depression, mostly in the winter season (February, mostly). I was thinking of using light therapy with the special SAD lights, however, I read that there can be some side effects, such as increased anxiety. Has anyone ever suffered any side effects? Should I use these lights? If so, how?
Also, I take fluoxetine (Prozac) for my anxiety. Will this cause any problems?
I’ve been suffering from anxiety disorder and depression 2 years now and in those 2 years my social skills have dropped tragically and i have zero confidence when it comes to asking a lady out on a date or anything like that.
Im seeing a therapist a couple of times a week and im improving little by little but still a long way to go
was just wondering if anyone else here who suffers from depression or anxiety disorder could tell me do they have the same problems ?
im 15 and I suffer from social anxiety. I start to break a out in a cold sweat and get nervous in places such like malls and in hallways. I rather stay at home instead of partying. I sometimes tihnk about my parents dying cause they’re close to 60. I battled depression and self esteem problems all my life. I was bullied when I was small and some people I know used to steal form me and talk behind my back. I have no close friends. I will be moving to germany next year to live with realtives. I have a hard time getting close to people and if I do I manage to screw it up. Im a very social guy and have many friends but I never had someone to relie one. I want to control my anxiety. can u help me
I have recently begun treatment with a new psychiatrist for depression and anxiety. I’ve been on wellbutrin for years but quit when i got pregnant. i ended up having a miscarriage and was feeling alright until around 5-6 months later. My old psychiatrist retired ( who i hadn’t seen in years) so i’ve started with a new one. We resumed the wellbutrin and short term treatment with xanax since i had used it previously with my other doctor for a few months. What i didn’t realize was the start dose he put me on was very low. .25-.5 mg three times a day. This hadn"t been effective when i last used it so i ended up taking one extra pill daily. ( at night for sleep problems). well i ran out obviosly early and tried to call in the refill thinking there wouldn’t be a problem only asking for half the prescription because i had a upcoming check up with her. The pharmacist refused and it was over the week-end. I had a full blown panic attack. this scares me. I called the doctor on call and felt like an idiot but explained exactly what i’d been taking. I will call monday but I’m concerned that the reaction I had means I addicted even though it’s only been 2 weeks on the meds. Any advice? I am scared and am still experiencing a hard time breathing. Please, what would you do?
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?)
I have really bad depression and anxiety. The doctor prescribed me Lexapro 10 mg. Can some tell me if it helped you out or at least a little, because it is really expensive stuff.
I think I have social anxiety. I’m very shy around people .. I feel as though my personality falls flat. I can’t open up to people. Sometimes I even feel happier when I’m alone. I want to overcome this fear.. I have taken depression medicines but they just make me feel jittery/sick. I don’t know what to do! Any suggestions?
I mean still get them because of the anxiety, depression and stress but not feeling stressed, anxious and depressed at the exact time you get the headache?
I am very depressed, sometimes feel very low. I become very irritating and sometimes, especially when I wake up in the morning, I get panic as well. My doctor has referred to me to the counsellor and I am waiting for the appointment.
1) Do think there could be any medicine that do not make me drowsy during the day time and that does not affect driving?
2) Is there any method to treat depression, anger, etc. other than medicines?
3) If you had gone through such problems in the past and been better, please let me know your suggestion.
I’ve always had really terrible anxiety, and it’s really bad tonight. I take medication regularly for depression and anxiety, but of course it doesn’t completely go away. Anyway, I’m feeling particularly anxious tonight and I need ways to lower my anxiety level. What are some ways? It’s too late here for me to go and get over the counter meds at the drug store, so something that doesn’t involve that. And smoking and drinking is out of the question at the time. Please help?
Can anxiety or depression make you have thoughts of not being with the person you love?? I have been with this guy for 2 years and we use to be so happy and we still are happy but, I have feelings of being ill with him or not wanting to be around him sometimes, caould this be a problem caused be anxiety or depression? Or could it be the fact the we have just been together so long that the new has worn off and we are just content with each other? My mother asys she thinks it alittle of both that i have anxiety and that the new has worn off and the feeling of being all happy when we see each other has faded, and that maybe i thought the happy feelings would always be there and I have not learned how to accept that change of feelings from happy to content. I am so afraid that this all going to narrow down to us not being together anymore and it breaks my heart and makes me cry when I think of not being with him I would rather die!!
