    • Close Anxiety

      I am hoping to get off my Lorazepam and get back to living my normal life. I would like to have some hand holders to walk with me . I won't be a pest, I promise.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      I was first given this in April to put a quick stop to my anxiety because my sons wedding was coming up and I needed quick help. I now would like to get off of it. I take .5mg 3x a day but have since cut the afternoon pill in half. I am hopeful to continue to get rid of it due to the addictiveness of it. It does work, no doubt about it.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      I used to take 50mg of this and had to switch to a different generic and had a horrible reaction so I quit taking it. Now I am taking 25mg and I have no idea if it is working. I wish to be back on the 50mg, it worked for me for 4 years.
    • Close Empty Nests

      My son got married and moved away in April this year and I am not coping well. He was my best friend and now she is. I am a mess.

      Treatments

      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
      I walk in our neighborhood and it does make me feel a little better.
    • Open Hypochondria

      I have Health Anxiety along with regular terrible acute anxiety and depression.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      I take 1 .5mg pill three times a day and I feel like me again. It works but I hate being a slave to any drug.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I can't stop crying. It seems if I am not having anxiety I am crying my eyes out.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      I am only taking 25 mg and I know I need 50 mg or more but doc is on vacation so I must wait it out until he returns. It worked for 5 years on my depression and anxiety.
