Anxiety Support Group
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...
I have a really good psychiatrist. I don't have sessions though because i' get too anxious to bring up the past and my worries. I see him once or twice a month to change or switch to new meds.
I have been on Cymbalta,Celexa, Lyrica, all the name brands and in between as far as depression meds go because they always try to treat anxiety that way first.
I ended up having an allergic reaction to lexapro so he changed it up entirely.
First we tried klonopin 1mg 2x per day. And 50-100mg each night for sleep (i was NOT sleeping)..
I went back on the 17th because klonopin no longer working not even up to 3mg at a time. So he gives me 10mg valium.
Now i have 10mg valium 2x's per day plus 25mg seroquel in the morning plus 100mg seroquel at night for sleep.
If i take valium or seroquel in the morning i can't function. So i try to wait until the afternoon to start my med regimen and its NOT freaking doing anything.
I have risked taking up to 30mg valium with 25mg seroquel and it barely had any effect but at least it was something.
But now that I found a combo for anxiety that works, 30mg valium is too much to take twice a day! So i am almost out of my 60pill a day valium prescription.
He tells me to call whenever something isnt working.
I have tried ativan without a rx before and it helped WAY better, but this doctor says it is the same as the valium and klonopins so he won't let me try it.
I need to call him and tell him what is going on but I am not sure what to say. I can't just take seroquel all day i am a SAHM with a 9 month old baby I have to be on my toes at all times.
PLEASE give me some suggestions. Pot is not legal in my state lol

The blood test showed I have the MTHFR gene mutation so I can't convert folic acid in food into usable folate. The cure is to take a methylated folate and stay away from folic acid.
I started on it a year ago and have not had one anxiety attack since then.
Xanax is a godsend to me...and yes, although it can make you tired, in low doses and as you get used to it, it can be wonderful.
In fact, the combination I use is Cymbalta with Xanax. It has helped me a lot.
