So what can i do for this problem And i use beta cap tr 60 once & petril md .5mg twice a day So what can i do .. Plz suggest me ## Hello, Shishir! Sorry about the problem that you're having. What SSRIs have you tried and what did you try to ease the stomach issue? Sometimes an antacid or PPI can be taken with them to help protect your stomach. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance? The Petril-MD contains the active ingredient Clonazepam, which is a benzodiazepine that's used to treat anxiety. Is it not helping?

Hi everyone. My 14 year old daughter has been on topamax (25 mg twice daily) for a number of years. She is being treated for anxiety, depression, mood disorder, tics, ADHD and has recently added social phobias to her list of complaints. The meds being used to treat her are Risperodone for the mood, Clonidine for the tics, Prozac for the depression/anxiety, and Topamax to control weight gain that occurs with Risperodone (and possibly to help with anxiety/tics). As she gets older, she seems to be retreating into herself even more. The anxiety is amping up, the depression too. She sleeps all day, and hasn't wanted to leave the house all summer. When I do manage to get her out of the house, the social anxiety is too much for her and she has severe meltdowns. Before she was put on all th...

I've been taking Clonazepam for about 15 years. At first, I was prescribed .25 mg twice a day. Over the years, the doses kept increasing. Now I'm at 2mg. 3x/day. Though I've been taking it as needed, like depending on what I'm doing each day. For the last couple of years, I'd take half a pill in the morning and maybe another later on. But only if I'm not doing anything important. Other days, with social activities, I'd take another dose like 2 mg. or more. And there are other meds I take like Adderall generic, Gabapentin and also in the process of quitting Suboxone; I'm down to 1 mg. about every other day. And Bupropion as well. My issue is that I don't think the Clonazepam (from Accord) is working anymore. About 11 years ago, my doctor recommended th...

I was diagnosed with SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) a common trait found in about 12-15% of the population. It is different for every person including me. I often suffer from anxiety/nervousness symptoms - sweaty palms, shaky jaw/mouth area, throbbing heart, shakiness, stuttering/trembling voice and so on. I have begun using Pur Bloka which successfully keeps these symptoms at bay for 80% of the day including when I attend University. However the problem is that I am susceptible to allergies which can affect my chest and cause tightness. The doctor said I should not take Pur Bloka everyday because it can have an affect on my chest. I almost ignored that advice and went on with it because it truly calms me, thus relieving stress and keeping symptoms at bay. My question now: Is their an al...

so i am a college student and my friend is prescribed 50mg vyvanse... i used to take about 1 every couple weeks to help me study for exams, and i loved how focused it got me so i started taking them about 2-3 times a week. i have been doing this for a couple months. but lately, if i'm not on it, i feel extremely anxious and feel like i can't talk or do anything normal.... please realize i am aware that the use of this medication when not prescribed is not a good thing to do.... but ever since the first couple of times, i feel like i need it in order to study, be happy, or even talk to people. i want to stop so badly but the anxiety (esp. social anxiety) when i'm NOT on it is horrible - i feel nervous to even go hang out with my best friends. then if i take it, i feel confide...

Since high school I have suffered from anxiety and some depression. I am 25 now. My anxiety is triggered by most social interactions. In high school I would hide in the bathroom because i couldn't face going to class or go to the library during lunch sometimes so I wouldn't have to interact socially. I dropped out of college because my anxiety kept me from going to class and giving presentations or just because I was afraid to be in class with so many strangers. I can't get a job because I feel an overwhelming panic at going to interviews or starting new working with people I don't know. I have no motivation to do anything during the day. I can't focus on tasks im supposed to do and easily get overwhelmed by large projects. I have been put on various anti anxiety med...

Hi, I have been suffering from serve flatulence immediately after eating food. This is causing a lot of anxiety, stress and social fear and after about every 15 days i have anxiety brain fog and diarrhea. I've done all my medical checks related to stomach and everything is ok. Tried all sorts of treatments - homeopathy, Ayurvedic, allopathy ..but no luck. Now doctors have put me on tryptomer 10mg. I have been having this for a month now. I felt good initially but the whole problem has started again. Days I feel very good and days when i am down in the dumps. Suffering with this problem for close to 7 years now. ## How you doing now I'm going through the same thing now?

I've been on Xanax, Lorazepam, Clonazepam, and others but I build up a tolerance if I only take it about twice a month. I don't abuse my meds. I have bad generalized and social anxiety disorder and need something for panic attacks when my Cymbalta isn't enough. What RX for bad panic attacks resists a fast tolerance better than most? ## If you only take this medicine twice in any given month its hard to have a quick tolerance to it? What happens, can you not tolerate them or they don't work for you. Perhaps you need to be treated with a different class of medicine? ## They stop working for me. It may sedate me somewhat still, but it no longer helps the anxiety. ## Could the Cymbalta be interfering with the anti anxiety medicines? Most medicine does take time to start work...

Hi, I am long time anxiety patient - i've been on paxil, buspar, lexapro, zanaflex, remrom, flexiril, tricyciclants, trazodone - you name it. Also, with this I have had bad insomnia. I will not sleep for nights at a time, and it is affecting my work as well as my social life. I have tried (for sleep) Lunesta 2-4mg, Ambien 20mg, Sonata 40mg, and Prosom 2mg. I also aso tried restriol. For anxiety I have been on Ativan, Valium, Klonopin, and Versed. At the time, none of the night medicines work, I will even combine them. My anxiety (which is so common in my family) keeps me up. The problem is, they tend to either prescribe one (sleep medicine) or the other (anxiety). I have insurance, and would be willing to see a doctor. MY GAD is so awful lately, it's maybe Er TIME. So, does anyo...

I've been on 10mg of Brintellix for 3 weeks now after a week of taking 5mgs. Initially the nausea was bad in the morning, but that has recently improved a lot. My experience so far is that it has drastically reduced my anxiety spikes and it's incredible to no longer be at the mercy of those horrible gripping pangs in my solar plexus. I used to drink quite a lot of wine over weekends because I found it helped with my social anxiety (despite facing the consequences of malaise the following day!) But did not feel the urge to have any wine this weekend and was not as much in need of something to relax and enjoy myself. My boyfriend complained that I was a bit of a zombie the first week or so, but I feel increasingly sharper and more able to think on my feet and remember stuff. So far I

I suffer from high anxiety, ADHD and minor depression. Last week I talked to my doctor and he prescribed me 50 mg Pristiq for the anxiety and 30 mg Vyvanse for ADHD. I have been taking both as directed, the Vyvance in the morning and the Pristiq at night before bed. So far the Vyvanse is working well for me. I feel much more focused, have more energy, and have been more social and more productive at work- just an overall better mood. The problem is that about 7 or 8 hrs after taking the Vyvanse it starts wearing off and I start feeling extremely anxious and can't sleep. The doctor said the Pristiq takes at least 2-3 weeks to start working, so I'm not sure how that will effect me yet. I read that sleeplessness is a common side effect of both of these drugs, but I can't stand ...

I have social anxiety bad. My daughter passed away at the age of 7 from cancer. 3 months after that my second oldest got a hold of a handgun that my boyfriend left laying around and shot herself in the head. Then after that he told me he was going out of town for work for the weekend and never came back. I have social anxiety. I panic whenever I get around crowds of people because my husband kept me locked in the house for almost 2 years. ## I got chronic p.t.s.d. and really bad anxiety most of the time I dont go no where and when I do i go where there is no one around. I worry all the time. I don't eat right i don't sleep much because of the worrying. My doctor won't give me any thing that helps. How can I get xanax Xr ## I can't even think about being in your shoes I...

i have social anxiexty panic attacks ## Hi triston, If you suffer from anxiety/depression and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and many general physicians are reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government. If you do opt to see a regular medical doctor, some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any given medication right off the bat. Make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach in my opinion is to discuss what has and hasn't work...

I am a 43 yr old GMA with social anxiety disorder & panic disorder. I have been on xanax since I was 25. I've heard twice in 6 months that xanax is going to be discontinued. Is this true? ## Hello, Nene! How are you? No, there haven't been any authentic reports of it being discontinued. It's been made harder to get, since it is so frequently abused, but that's the only change that I've found any information on. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm due for my next 50 tablets of 2mg Xanax in 20 days. Will it be off the market? This is concerning. Do I need to convert or use Valium to help with reducing my dose? Pl...

I have depression,anxiety, social anxiety and extremely bad panic attacks. I have been on 90 1mg xanax A month for 15 years. I have tried pretty much every depression/anti-anxiety meds there are and none of them have helped expept the Xanax. This may sound strange and I'm not just saying this to get more Xanax! The xanax to me works for my anxiety, panic attacks (espicially) and oddly for depression. I run out at least one week before my script can be filled and when I run out I will stay in bed for days, never leave the house unless I have to. I don't know how to explain this to him without him thinking that I just want more meds for different reasons. Please let me know what I can do? ## Have you tried talking to your doctor about it, at all, yet? I mean you really can't k...

Hi im 17 years old. I suffer from very bad anxiety, panic, and social anxiety. Its horrible.. Im not going to school, i cant even enjoy something like getting my nails done without feeling anxious. I've tried so many doctors but they only prescribe Prozac Zoloft ect. Any doctors in New York that will prescribe Xanax or Clonopin? Please help! Ps im a good girl, im one of the few girls in my school that never drank/ got high in my life! ## If none of the drs you've seen will prescribe Xanax or Clonopin or keep you on it, you must not need it. Your parents are still responsible for you since you're under 18, so any dr would have to be one they agree to and one that is on their insurance. ## Be very easy to be good in school when you're not going!

Xanax is a life saver! I've always had social anxiety and trouble speaking in groups of people, now i have no problem! Xanax makes me feel very calm and I'm able to enjoy the moments that used to make me feel unconformable.............I't also helps with depression, withdrawals from pain killers, helps with sleep! The best sleep you can ever have (close to taking NyQuil). I take 1 mg 3 times daily..... ## Xanax IS a life saver, and can also drop you dead right where you stand. Funny little drug ## Hello, Pacsun93! I'm very glad that it's helping you so much. However, it can also be dangerous, just like Eddy has pointed out, though it's usually not that extreme. But it can be habit forming and once you've been taking it for awhile, it isn't safe to stop ab...
