    • About Me

      Hi, I'm 33/M and live in Pittsburgh. I've battled anxiety for several years now and would like to do anything I can to help others who also face this awful condition. I've been trying to know God more and more each day, and learn as much as I can about him, and know that he can help me get through anything.

    • Close Anxiety

      Been battling anxiety/panic attacks for about 5 or 6 years now. Determined to beat them both once and for all.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      Haven't taken these in a long while, b/c I ran out of them, but when I did they worked really well.
      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      A lot of times just taking long, deep breaths works good for me, I try to get somewhere quiet and do this for about 10 minutes or so.
      BuSpar Not Working
      Took this for a while when I first started having the anxiety/panic attacks. Didn't work well at all for me... all it did was make me fall asleep. Plus the quack Dr. I was seeing at the time just kept upping the dosage... got rid of both and felt immediately better.
      Paxil Not Working
      Been on this for about 8 years now. I'm actually tapering off of it because I don't think it does anything for me, and I'm sick of the side effects. The withdrawal is a real @#$% which they conveniently don't tell you. I think it's actually CAUSING a lot of my anxiety right now as I taper off of it.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      I try to force myself to focus on positives, easier said than done, I think it's important to keep at this though.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Works well but I seem to develop a tolerance to it pretty quickly. Still taking a really low dose all things considered, but it works, makes me a bit out of it / dopey though.
