Can anyone recommend an effective antidepressant/antianxiet. medication?



Answers:
Give paxil a try. Not only did I NOT have rediculous side effects like constantly being tired and hungry, but its is also very easy to wean yourself off of. I reported no dependency. And it got me out of being both anxious and depressed. Another important thing to remember is that bio-feedback works wonders as well. These feelings are patterns, and rooted into your brain. Going down those thought paths gets easier by the day, so you have to make sure that your trying to effectivly stop those thoughts from happening on your own. The medication alone will work slowly, make sure to be proactive. When you find yourself thinking negative, depressing, or anxtious thoughts, immediatly switch to thinking of something else. Easier said then done, but for physical re-inforcement, try a rubber band on your wrist that you snap whenever you start thinking those things. Have a relaxing place you can imagine in your mind when you are anxious. Mine was the forest. Hope that this helped you, I know how difficult it is to get rid of this, but it DOES go away. Good luck!

Your doctor can!
Prozac worked well for me.l had bad anxiety and some depression but you need to go to a doctor to find out what they recommend.
We are all different......but I took prozak for many years and now lexapro and am still miserable.......what is hard to determine is whether it is my brain chemistry or life circumstanse causing the depression. Even my doctor cannot figure it out.

Therpy has sometimes helped...try that instead of or along with some sort of med.
zoloft
Ever tried pot?
Yes, get outdoors, change your lifestyle, get away from whatever is making you depressed. The medications do work, however, they cause a mild form of brain damage when taken over time.
I would try the therapy route before trying any drugs. It will help you find out why you feel the way you do, and explore ways to change that.

The drugs will just switch off the symptoms without tackling the cause.
The best one for anxiety (for me at least) was Lexapro - the other ones killed my sex drive, turning me into what I call "Plant Life"..
Only an experts help should be sought. No experimenting with such medication. It will make a healthy person go berzerk or addicted. Or even both!
lexapro - 20mg
well i have only been on 1 and i will tell u not to go with it. it is effexr and it takes forever to kick in, then doesnt work, and the w/d's are terrible. i am presently getting weaned off of it by my dc. they gave me xanax to make the withdrawls easier. good luck hun
I have been on celexa for about 4 yrs for stress and anxiety. After 3 weeks I could tell a huge difference. It's only 25 mg. and has really been the answer. It takes approx. 3 or 4 weeks to make a difference in the way you feel. Get past that point and things start improving. You really need to discuss this with your doctor of course. Exercising helps alot too! Good luck and hope you find the help you need!
