Natural treatment for anxiety symptoms and panic attacks.
I am taking a cough medicine called Tussionex. I have noticed that it (among others) has a warning label for people with glaucoma. I have been monitored with intraocular hypertension for about a year now. Could this medicine hurt my eyesight?
Thanks for your advice.
I suffer from anxiety attacks and I was wondering does anyone know of a good alternartive to medicine??
I have been suffering from anxiety for a long time but its been getting worse so my dr wants to put me on medication. The problem is I don’t know how to tell my boyfriend. I know that he doesn’t really believe in depression, at least the part where people need medicine for it. I’m afraid he won’t think I need medicine for this and he may think I’m "damaged goods" - we’ve been together for a few years, but still… How did you explain to your loved one that you have anxiety?
anyone out there taking medicine for social anxiety ? and how are you doing with that medicine? and anyone have take them before and they work or no ? and whats the names of social anxiety medicine ?
So I have several things going on in my life right now that are really hard to cope with. I have 3 young children and I’m trying to keep it together for there sake. I am on anxiety medicine but it’s not seeming to work and I dont want to keep trying new medicines. WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY THAT YOU COPE WITH STRESS/ANXIETY??
By The way the stress/anxiety is not my children I just want to know good techniques people use so I can avoid feeling stressed around my children…
My dad has bad anxiety and paranoia. He was prescribed Zyprexa and started taking 5mg tablets on Jan. 9th. He then changed the dosage to 10mgs about 15 days ago. So far he sleeps much better and doesn’t shake when he gets nervous. But other than that he is pretty much the same. Oh his voice sounds much better. He doesn’t sound like a whinny 5 year old child anymore. I guess I am too anxious for the medicine to work, but I am losing hope. It was hard enough to convince him to take it. (He was afraid of taking any medication). How much longer do I have to wait?
What is the most efficient and effective way to treat hypertension, lifestyle change, taking medicine (no re-bounce of the blood pressure after stop of the medicine) or what else?
My anxiety makes it so hard for me to make friends but i do have a couple now but want to start making more. I think for right now i should focus on my anxiety and myself and the friends i do have. What do you think and what do you think i should do? If you have and tips on anxiety and making it better that would be good. Also if this matters i have a therapist and i am taking medicine.
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Going to school everyday is scary because it makes me very anxious and being anxious makes me very sick. I have medicine but i don’t want to have to rely on this forever. How can i mentally control this? How can i distract myself from being anxious?
I desperately need to get a job but the problem is that I’m terrified of holding a job. I have officially been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and even my therapist said it would be better to get medication and treatment before attempting something that to me is very scary, which would be getting a job. But I can’t pay for therapy or medicine or any of my bills and there is no one to borrow from. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I’m also very nervous around people so babysitting is out of the question. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I have taken Lexapro, 20 MG a day, for 14 months now. I started taking it following a car accident in which I sustained a head injury and was having trouble "getting back to being myself". Now, I feel much better. I am still taking 5 mg of Klonopin a day for anxiety. The wreck did a number on me. But I am back to work, have gone through the physical therapy and chiropractor and am doing fine. I felt it is time to let Lexapro go. I am not depressed. I have however gained 45 pounds while on it. I started by cutting the doses down and today is my first day completely off of it. I am irratible, crying and moody. I do have more energy and feel better but everything my husband does or says rubs me the wrong way. While on the medicine I was an obediennt, quiet zombie. I have not had any physical withdrawl systems at this point, they are all emotional. How long willit be before all of the medicine is out of my system and the withdrawl is gone?

I have anxiety and I feel awful a lot of the time. I really don’t want to go on medication but would it help? Does anyone have or know someone with anxiety who has taken medicine for it? How did it affect you or that person?
Thank you.
I’m recovering from knee surgery and part of my otherwise effective Physical Therapy is Laser Light therapy in which the therapist shines a light on my knee. Unfortunately, the damage is inside the joint, not on the skin surface.
This whole thing looks like idiocy and feels like nonsense. Like something right out of a travelling 1880’s Patent Medicine Show.
What if any real scientific basis could there be for this therapy?
I have panic attacks about death and i have no idea why i have them. The panic attacks get pretty bad and i have tried medicine, that only stops them it doesn’t get rid of them. I don’t know what to do. I’m 21 years old and i have had these since i was 15, does anybody have any suggestions?
I have been feeling sick the past couple days after stopping Lexapro cold turkey. Could if be from stopping the medicine?
