When I was diagnosed my anxiety was unbearable. I asked my pdoc for something to calm me down. She told me that the AP’s are tranquilisers that help for anxiety.
I told her that alcohol use to give me anxiety. She said maybe I use to drank because of anxiety.
I’d say stick to your AP’s as prescribed and talk to your pdoc about your anxiety.
Yea benzos will definitley work. I’m actually trying to find a doctor that will prescribe them to me for my anxiety, panic attacks, voices and breakdowns. Usually happens when I’m here by myself, but yea those will calm you down.
Although I have to say one time when I was in the middle of a breakdown I took a 2mg Xanax and probably about at least 2 mg more before that, and it did nothing for my breakdown. Didn’t stop it, didn’t stop the paranoia or nothing. Full on Breakdown. It was pretty bad
No farcry I don’t. Maybe if I get my hands on them every once in awhile, but not prescribed to them. Although when I do get them I take them right (most the time), and if I don’t need the rest I put them up for if a day comes when I start feeling my breakdowns and Paranoia then that’s when I have the others to take , to stop that.
Only Reason why I do that is cause I’m right there with you Mexxem. Doc won’t prescribe me benzos because I have a history of drug abuse
hi,
just informing you guys that it is now the next day and i do feel a lot better (thankfully as i have had these sorts of things last much longer…)
thankyou all for your help and comments
much appreciated
I would say APs might sometimes make anxiety worse. My anxiety seems to have been more persistent since being on the Consta depot. I accept it might just be coincidental.
Alcohol seems like it helps but in the long run it does not. Maybe one drink but not many. L-theanine helps both with anxiety and alcohol withdrawal. It is a supplement available on the Internet and health food stores.
Try reading a book or stepping outside. I’d advise against taking more meds because in the end if u need to go off them to get on a different med it will bite ya. It’s good for us to find healthy clean activities to lessen anxietys. We need meds. But the less the better. They are after all chemicals and are hard on your organs. Find normal every day things. Like nature. Nature and my pets help me
