Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Best antidepressants for anxiety disorder. What has been your experiences.  Just prescribed trilliex but reviews online are not good. It's a newer drug but has some bad side effects and ussually isn't prescribed for anxiety.  Thank you

It depends on your individual symptoms and what needs to be treated first as to the medicine.

I was prescribed zoloft and had to keep track of my hydration levels. Few side effects for me.

Best wishes with your medication.

I have clonopin prescribed as needed for anxiety. I often wonder if I should be on a daily medication. But it's a huge committment I'm not sure I'm ready for yet.

Mine is daily and I rely the daily effects of the Klonopin.

I was told clonipin was additive and had huge problems with additions. Did zoloft work for you. Unfortunately it did not do anything for me. Anyone try Prozac or Paxil with any good results.

Like Thor says, daily medicine that provide the necessary relief well worth the effort it takes to follow the daily cycle.

Zoloft worked for the worst symptom I had. It provided a necessary relief along with gabapentin so I could function even in overwhelming anxiety.

It did not remove the symptoms, just helped control them so I could function.

When a medication does not relieve the symptoms, I would look further into the exact way the symptoms are occurring. (In my case, once the gabapentin was added, the zoloft effect was noticed by others in a positive direction)

Best wishes as you find what works for you!

@ Lilliann - It's challenging because everyone is different and what works for one person might not work for another. I wish there was just one medicine that helped everyone. I have had problems trying different medicines, too. Sometimes, we have to try different ones to find what works best for us.

I know it is hard to do. If the doctor prescribed Trilliex, I say give it a try. Don't worry about the online reviews that you said weren't good reviews. I have read online reviews about medicines too, and let's face it, if it works great for someone, they probably won't write a review on a website. Since this is a new drug, I would think it's even better. Is one way to look at it. It might work great for you, and that is all that matters. I say give it a try and see how you do.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
