What can I do to stop anxiety? I used to never even leave the apartment. But I had a good period and did well. But I am slipping.
Should I ask to switch my aripiprazole to Rexulti which helped with anxiety better (I think)? Or would an increase of my gabapentin be best? It seems like my own medicine is addictive. I hear that told to me and I worry and get so anxious!
APs are kinda addictive because of supersensitivity unless you mean benzos which yeah they are. I take BuSpar, Cogentin, and Hydroxyzine together which helps.
Have you tried any anxiety workbooks? Good, inexpensive place to start.
Benzo I do not take anymore because my dr said they are bad. Then she gave me as needed pills for one. But I pretty much am always anxious? But I don’t take it anyway. I have tried almost all things but not Buspar. Thanks.
Thanks. I do write and go through books with my therapist and did with my case manager. I think it’s important. I should find an anxiety one. I just feel like nothing works for me.
I found relief with Lion’s Mane. I bought the one from RealMushrooms on Amazon, about $30. That brand isade from the mushroom not the mycelium that mushrooms sprout from, so it is more potent than many.
I have severe anxiety and it still helped.
Btw i got the lionsmane…its too soon to report on results i think but i cant really tell yet.
Gabapentin has been good for my anxiety. I think you should tell your doc if its getting to be too much. Don’t overthink to start off, everything will be ok!
The combo of gabapentin and buspar together has helped me. I take it twice a day, in the morning and again at 4. That way i get the most benefit from it in the evening. I also take rexulti, and it has helped my anxiety and my paranoia too.
You won’t really feel anything. What happens is, if it helps, is that you don’t freak out over things as bad as before. If at all.
I’ve told my story multiple times, can’t remember if I told it where you saw. Even though I don’t take it often now, I have a residual lowering of anxiety for a period of time after running out.
