I take 1 to 2 mg of lorazepam a day. It works really well.

I take Paxil 20mg's and a .25 xanax 4x a day.

However, my godsend would be positive thinking,exercise,living in the moment and accepting that I have anxiety. It can stick around all it wants, but it's going to be on MY terms. It's not going to run my life.

Bue, I can't remember, how long have you been on the Lexapro ?

THIS IS A QUESTION FOR YOUR DOCTOR ONLY. PLEASE MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU WANT HIM/HER TO KNOW & LET THEM DECIDE.

I'M PRESCRIBED .5MG OF LORAZEPAM, TWICE PER DAY, PRN. I USUALLY ONLY TAKE IT AT BEDTIME SO THAT I CAN GET ENOUGH SLEEP.

for some reason xanax made me have anxiety.

Everyone's different Geck, but you're the first 1 I've ever heard say that.

I myself take .5 mg of klonopin a day. Naturally this is up to your doctor. I have been on that for 4 years. Also your diet plays a huge role in anxiety. DO watch your caffine, and sugar intake. even sodas, doughnuts..sorry lol. Anyways i do know that these things effect my anxiety :)

Do hope this helps.

I used to take Ativan, which worked, but I became addicted. I am trying to do it naturally right now. I am finding exercise and eating healthy are started to work for me. I agree with Snoozeis, watching your caffeine and sugar intake is definitely a good idea!

YOUR DR SHOULD TRY YOU ON DIFFERENT MEDS. I SEE MY PDOC ONCE A MONTH BUT IF I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A MED, I MAKE SURE I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO WEEKS.

BUMP

Xanax gave me anxiety too. I'm on Ativan, which doesn't really help since I've been on it so long. I'm having good luck with a biofeedback program I bought, vitamins, supplements, and working out. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm also not as bad as I was. :)

Taloola is right ~ it is something you need to discuss with your doctor. Meds are strange, and they work differently on different people. I know, because I've been tried on tons!

I take Klonopin for anxiety ~ it helps, but it's not the 'cure-all', so that's why I'm working on other ways to control my anxiety. BTW, AM is usually the worst for most people with anxiety.

Best wishes at the doc. Keep us posted. Hope you get the help you need.

I agree with taloola
