Close Phobia

I have a major phobia of throwing up (stupid, I know).

Close Anxiety

I have suffered from anxiety/panic since 2000, after the birth of my first daughter and I am still fighting it every day. I have learned to deal with it and cope with it much better over the years.

Treatments

Paxil Working / Worked

I took Paxil for about 2 years then decided to quit taking it because I didn't want to be on medication for the rest of my life. It did work but eventually had to increase the dose.

Positive Thinking Working / Worked

Remeron Working / Worked

I started taking it in 2007 and quit taking it also because I didn't want to take medication for the rest of my life! I found it helped with my anxiety and my mild depression and also I gained about 5 lbs and I loved it! Now I'm off of it and lost the 5 lbs. I gained and need to get back on it. The only bad thing is the drowsiness I experienced when first taking it. I took it at night, and if taken early enough, you don't feel the side effects from it the next morning.

Tranxene Working / Worked

I take this just on an as needed basis only when I feel extremely anxious or stressed and even then I only took 12 the dose. It helps calm me down.

Celexa Not Working

I hated this medicine. The first 2 days I was on it I experienced nothing but anxietypanic attacks.

Prozac Not Working

I took this after I quit taking the Paxil when I finally realized I needed to be on medication. I didnt like taking this as it made me nauseous couldnt eat and I couldnt afford to lose any more weight! and the feeling of anxiety.
