What is the difference between anxiety and panic attacks? What is different between the two when it comes to depression? I was told they had the same characteristics. Could you identify them for me please? ## What is this tablet treated for orange in colour 30 mg mo and GOn other side ## I was taking nexito ten mg once daily for OCD and depression but I stopped it and today after a week I am restless and impatient I want to sleep and calm myself but can't what can I do now ## Anxiety Information Panic Attack/Disorder A simple summation is that anxiety is fretting, and worrying about things, while panic attacks involve full on freaking out, in various ways, due to something that has already happened, or may soon occur. The links I provided explain it more. Momo, why did you stop taki...

I have taken Serax for anxiety attacks, works great but now insurance will no longer cover that medication. They recommend Xanax which I am highly allergic to, or Buspar which I read is mainly for long term use.I need something when I feel an anxiety attack coming on, not something I have to take all day every day. ## Hello, Sandra! How are you? There are other options, in addition to Xanax and Serax, such as Ativan and Diazepam, both of which work the same way, so you can take them as needed and they are both also available as generics, as well as the name brands. The issue with them, however, is that they do have the potential to be habit forming, which is why many doctors prefer something such as Buspar, which you take daily to keep anxiety under control, but doesn't have that sa...

Many people end up using a combination of appropriate therapy, with a medication such as a Benzodiazepine. However, these medications do require a doctor's prescription.

I'm a patient going to pain management receiving OxyContin for chronic lower back pain and nerve damage in my feet and legs! I'm also seeing a psychologist who has diagnosed me with severe anxiety issues and ADHD disorders! I have hardware in my lower back (plates and screws), back fusion from S1 through L5 L3 L2! I've been disabled for 14 years! My question is, can my pain management dr tell me I have to pick and choose which meds I need the most? She's telling me I can't receive my pain meds and my Xanax too! I have a contract with a comprehensive pain specialist. Can she kick me out of pain management because of the new guidelines in Tennessee? I'm going through a divorce and I've lost my son in a car wreck! I'm in constant pain and I'm having a pa...

Anyone have anxiety issues/panic attacks while on this med? I have started with Losartan about 2 weeks ago and have been experiencing anxiety. I take doxepin as an insomnia aid and have had to increase the dosage due to the increased insomnia and anxiety. Do this symptoms level off over time. Losartin seems to be helping my BP. ## Yes, the FDA does report anxiety, panic disorder and insomnia as being common side effects of this medication. You may also experience dizziness, headache and increased urination. Side effects are usually transient and will go away, once your body gets used to medication, but that may take about 4 to 5 weeks. If they worsen, or don't go away after that time frame, you should consult your prescriber. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks. The in...

buspar is amazing ... helps me out with all types of anxiety including panic attacks ... but you have to tell yourself you will be just fine... breath and relax ... I know its scary but if something bad is going to really happen to you ... its going to happn even if you worry ... so why worry? <3 ## Thanks for keeping us posted on how this medication has been working for you! Not many patients post reviews of how they like something and are usually complaining about side effects, so hats off to you on finding something that works! I think your perspective on coping with "panic attacks" is great. If something undesirable is going to happen then there's really no point in trying to get worked up about it; as being in a bad frame of mind may just make the situation worse th...

i have been prescribed it for high anxiety - is it good for this? ## Yes it's great for anxiety. I have tremors because of my anxiety and it works like a charm. I am taking 75mg twice a day and it really works. It helps me stay calm plus my tremors are under control. ## Hi just recently I've been suffering from anxiety, my doctor gave me alepam 15mg for the on set of anxiety attacks but I'm scared of taking one just incase it will increase my anxiety or give me that horrible sinking feeling you get, which is one of my symptoms to anxiety.

## PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS DRUG IS MOST COMINLY USED FOR ## See quoted text below: Atarax is an antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of common anxiety and tension and, in combination with other medications, to treat anxiety that results from physical illness. It also relieves itching from allergic reactions and can be used as a sedative before and after general anesthesia. Antihistamines work by decreasing the effects of histamine, a chemical the body releases that narrows air passages in the lungs and contributes to inflammation. Antihistamines reduce itching and swelling and dry up secretions from the nose, eyes, and throat. ## my daughter has recently put on 25mg of atarax she isonly 11yrs old and was 10 at the time it was perscribed to her. she had been having panic attacks, ...

I need your help to get me prescribed xanax, 80mg oxycodone, 60mg 30mg Morphine, or 15mg Dilaudid, What else can I say it hurts to type! I am serious about my pain, and Post Traumatic Stress syndrome, panic attack, and Depression I and Anxiety, I am 47 years old, I FEEL 80 AND I KNOW SOME 80 YEARS OLD FEEL BETTER THAN ME! ## I'm sorry, but this site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. Why is your doctor not providing them? If you are having a problem with your current physician, but have documented medical conditions that require proper treatment, it would probably be a good idea to switch to a different doctor. All of the medications you listed have the...

Hi. I have been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for over 10 years now. I didnt want to be on medication, but finally decided that i cant live with this anymore. It has taken over my life! Well.. To make a long story short, my Dr. Prescribed me lexapro 10mg .. Been taking it for 3 days now. Is is normal to feel even more anxiety than before? This is torture! ## Hello, Wendy! How are you? Yes, that is normal and usually happens for about the first 3 weeks, off an on, upon starting one of these types of medications. However, if it gets too severe, you should inform your doctor. The FDA lists the other typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you Verwon, I ...

Hi, I am on Cilift since 3 days now. I can deal with the headaches every now and then. But I find, that my panic attacks got worse. I wake up in the morning with my heart racing and the evenings are even worse. I started with half a tablet for the first 4 days. The Dr. gave me Beta blocker and a tranquilizer now. When will the panic attack start to wear off? ## Hi Antje, I'm on Klonopin for anxiety and panick attacks. I've been on this medication for years now and it helps really well. It's a benzodiazepine. Those types of medications have always helped me. Sometimes you have to give the medication time to get into your system. It may take a couple of weeks . But, if you have no improvement or your panick attacks are not getting better, you should speak to your doctor about ...

I have pretty bad anxiety with menopause. The hormones are off the wall but no night sweats or any other symptoms. I am on Zoloft and now my OBGYN put me on the Combipatch. I am on it for 2 1/2 weeks and have been doing great and then I got an anxiety attack. Does anyone know why? ## Hi Irene, I use to get panick attacks really bad. My doctor told me it can be caused by anxiety or stress. He put me on Klonopin, which is a benzodiazepine. It's helped me really well. I was also told that regular exercise can help with anxiety and stress. ## P.S. If there's no improvement or it gets worse, speak to your doctor about it. ## Hello, Irene! How are you? Your hormones fluctuate throughout the month, so you most likely had a sudden change in the levels of them in your body, which cause y...

I'm 40 and have had a spine operation about 6months ago. I have been given ciprolex 20mg which didn't help at all. My therapist prescribed Azor 0.5mg 3 times a day and african 1mg in severe panic. I've taken the razor about 2 hours ago and have had 2 major panic attacks since. I feel like I'm going insane and losing my mind. How do I cope with ? ## Just breathe. Don't try to fight it. It's impossible. Try to realize that it will pass. I know it's much easier said than done. I have massive panic attacks as well. You're not alone. You'll get through it. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Splash some cool water on the back of your neck. Take your shirt off. Try to calmly pace instead of frantically moving around. If able, stand or si...

I need a psychiatrist near Athens Georgia or Gainesville Georgia that will prescribe ativan or klonpin for servere aniexty and panic attacks and I need the phone numbers for them please THANKYOU VERY MUCH ## Instead of those medicines try Buspar it worked to prevent the panic attacks in the first place for me for 4 years. It is not addictive like Klonopin either. Any doctor should be willing to prescribe to you. I am a big guy and take 30mg twice a day. It is generic so cheap too. Good luck be patient. ## I loved loved loved Buspar. Def takes away anxiety. BUT.... makes you gain a ton of weight. Even with dieting. Sad, because it worked so great. ## Im in hemet California and need a doctor that will prescribe ativan or colonapin im manic depression and panic attacks make me crap my pants

I have Post Partem anxiety and have been going to Minnie Jones for several months to see Dr.Ambrose in an attempt to avoid medications. It's not working. The last time I was on any medication that worked for me it was a coupling of Clonidine (Kapvay) and Diazepam as PRN for anxiety attacks. To make a long story short, I was able to completely stop needing medications for a long time. The program that I was in which originally prescribed these medications was shut down for abuse several years ago, and all of their records were destroyed in an "accidental" fire. They continued to prescribe my meds long distance for years before this happened. What I am saying is, I need a doctor who is willing to go with my suggestions as this is my body, but also who will not push me to try new
