anti anxiety medication herbal

Is it ok to take Melatonin and amitriptyline hcl together? My doctor suggested trying Melatonin a couple of weeks ago to help me with my sleep pattern. I've been taking it for about a little over a week now and it's helped some. I've been having a lot of stress and anxiety due to working two jobs and also having a broken nose and not knowing what's going to be needed done. I have major cartilage damage to the point where it's starting to deteriorate.

What's your opinion on anti anxiety medication? I've been going out more but I have a hard time getting in the car, then I have a hard time getting out. And I freak out. I'm seeing a therapist, and she said it's all up to me. She has anxiety too and she takes medication. So I was wondering which did you have the best results with, do you think i should take a low dosage, and also, what side effects do they have.

My therapist recently suggested the idea of going on some medication for my anxiety. Thats something I have thought of for a while but am nervous to go forward with. I am nervous about the side effects that come along with the medications. I am looking to hear some other people's experiences with medication and what the pros and cons are.

I have several presentations that I have to give next week and I was hoping for some suggestions as to what I can take to help ease my anxiety. Whenever I have to give major speeches or presenations like these, I get shaky and nauseous and dizzy, and now I've realized that I'd like to take something to try and prevent it from happening again. I've been looking into it, and I've read about St. John's Wort, Valerium Root, but that's about it.

I've suffered with anxiety most of my life. I've taken numerous anti-depressants for the past 2 years which havent helped (i dont think im depressed). I'm on a 1 year leave from school so that i can get my anxiety under control because it was affecting my school work, i just couldnt do it anymore. The first issue im trying to get under control is my insomnia. When i try to sleep my mind is running so fast with thoughts, so its not that im not tired, i just cant calm my mind.

I realize that you are on medication for anxiety (Celexa is an anti-depressant by the way, and Xanax is an older anxiolytic), but who is prescribing you these? A psychiatrist or internist/primary care physician? If it is your internist, I would recommend you seek out a psychiatrist if feasible. Generally, psychiatrists have a much better sense of what medications will work best for what specific manifestations of anxiety and panic attacks better than primary care physicians.

I started taking anti depressant meds a few years ago to combat GAD and panic disorder. I took lexapro for a while but have been taking effexor for the past couple years at 225mg. Recently, my anxiety level has been terrible and I can't even make it through the day so my doctor gave me lorazepam for the attacks. In the past week or so it's gotten so bad that in addition to my nighly meds, I'm taking 2mg of lorazepam 2-3 times a day, which is making me loopy and exhausted.

lol... your dam right, i thought it would be a short list of a combination that one could take to compliment the other in aiding anxiety. I'm not taking Paxil any more as it gave me bad side effects and also tried Zoloft since as well, but that nearly crippled me.... could hardly walk for two days. So i am stearing clear of the SSRI's for now. So i have turned my attention back to herbal.

Hi, I just wanted to know how anxiety can be treated successfully without medication, especially unusual types of anxiety

I had my right eye done last month and it has been great and i am due to get my left eye done in about 2 months when my right has finaly settled, however i have a anxiety disorder which i have had for 11months and i have been having a hard time lately, i have a appointment with my docter next week about talking about me going on medication, my question is if i am prescibed any medication i.e anti depressants or benzodiazepines will this have any effect on me getting my right eye laserd.

I know that you stated that these did not work work for you in the past, however, when the second agent is added to them they become a very effective anti-anxiety/anti-depressant combinations. One other piece of information you need to have if you ever switch off of Paxil is that it is very possible that you can have withdrawal side effects, so hopefully your doctor will move the new one in as you slowly come off of it.

I took Paxil for years, now have to try something else for anxiety and depression, tried Zoloft but after 4 days I realized I was feeling the side effects too much, try Effexor after 3 days of nausea and on the third day hanging my head in the toilet from the nausea. My head felt better but it just made my stomach and guts feel retched. Now I am wondering about something herbal but don't know what would control these brain zaps. One week before I can see a dr.

ve been on various anxiety and depression meds, but all made me feel like a zombie. They made me super tired all the time. Anxiety medication only seems to sedate you so much that there doesn't seem to be a thought going on in your head! Clonazepam is the only medication that I took that I can remember the name of (that right there tells you how sedated the meds made me!) Are there any anxiety medications that don't turn you into a zombie? Any you'd recommend?

I think going to the therapist is a smart start. I have chronic anxiety, and anxiety can manifest in the ways you were describing with head aches, general aching all over, problems with focus, etc. Did you ask your doc about early menopause, too? I'm just thinking, because the two can have similar symptoms. If anything, if you go to a good therapist, they should be able to help you out with it. You should not feel alone.

Im on medication for depression and anxiety. Also occasionally I have a sedative in case I go bizzercerz. Would that hurt my child more than stress would?

i have had osteo artherits for over 20 years now and have been on dihydrocodiene but i have just moved and my new doctor just said he was taking me off them and putting me on anti inflamatory,do i have a say in this or do i have to just get on with it

I am not on any prescribed medication, so it cannot be due to that. I have been off anti depressant medication for 9 months, on my doctor's advice, and was doing well. The anti depressant did stop the anxiety and depression. Can anyone tell me if agitation is due to anxiety. I feel my heart racing all the time, and feel as if I am on the adrenalin rush that you get with the fear and flight syndrome. Is there any way I can calm myself down.

Is there anything I can give her for anxiety that will not hurt her? I have prescription xanax (for myself) and some natural herbal anti-anxiety pills, it is killing me to see the cat so unhappy and nervous, she won't have any face hair by the time my daughter returns! Help, any ideas for something safe to make her more comfortable?
