anxiety medication kids

I've been told anything other then Tylenol or prenatals can hurt the baby. Read up on the medication. The ER doctor I saw when I found out I was pregnant (we didn't think we could have kids so it was the last thought on my mind when I had symptoms) prescribed me an anti nausea medicine only for me to look it up & see all the stuff it can do to a baby. No thanks! Do research yourself!

Hi anyone taking anxiety medication & trying to conceive? I am trying to conceive & am dealing with my anxiety issue at the same time. I am thinking if I should see a psychiatrist for help. I will appreciate it if you could share with me if you are suffering from any side effect from anxiety medication or not. Thanks.

Right now I feel I can manage my anxiety without taking anything extra. When my anxiety becomes bothersome I drink Kava tea and take a hot bath. When I was suffering from debilitating panic disorder years ago, I took the lorezapam once or twice a day until the Paxil kicked in. My panic attacks this time around were benign compared to those of years ago. The 12.5mg of PaxilCR has done wonders for me.

Im on this anxiety medication im wondering if it will make me better orbis just like for symptoms for the day ir somthin

So before I was pregnant I had extreme anxiety, and was on and off medication. Didnt really like the effects - I was either a mindless zombie, or super nice and happy. And for the first 2 trimesters my anxiety had been pretty low. But, now I'm 35 weeks and the anxiety is so bad. I get it for big things, small things, or i'll even just be sitting watching tv and get hit with a huge wave of anxiety for no reason. I've started scratching my self..

Also my psychiatrist told me alot of people who suffer from anxiety/depression will think the medication is making them worse because the are already struggling with anxiety/depression. However, some medications just don't work for people, or cause side effects such as fatigue. I was on lexapro 10mg for a year, then stopped, and started to take it again for a little over a month and it no longer worked for my anxiety. So I slowly weaned off the lexapro and switched to cymbalta.

Im afraid of becoming addicted to them, and from what I hear most anxiety medication is highly addictive so I have put off any sort of treatment for my anxiety.

is it possible that anxiety doest come back after taking medication for it or is it a guaranteed to hit you again after stopping?

I am a widowed mother of 4 children ages, 2,3,7, and 8 and I need to maintain some form of sanity to care for my children. I was very hesitant about taking medication and am hoping to have some success with Zoloft. I know that everyones body responds differently to medications but any positive feedback re: Zoloft usage and getting back to some form of normalcy would be greatly appreciated as I am very discouraged and thinking that I will be this way forever. Thank you everyone.

lFor several years I was treated for bipolar with lithium, clonipin, and one antipsycotic after another. I live in a very small area and our county mental health dept. shut down. When I went to our community clinic they took me off of lithium because I was losing my hair and the clonipin because it COULD be misused. and put on serequel which I was told would help all my symptoms. It did not. Now I can't drive, hell I can't even leave my house.

I've never wanted medication for my anxiety. My doctor insisted, so I tried it. I started with 10mg of lexapro and I started feeling better some days. I stopped taking it during vacation (because my work apparently triggers my anxiety) and I felt pretty good. When I got back to work I started on lexapro again but this this time I had all sort of side effects possible. My dr.

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?

Hello, can you please tell me if it is Ok to use Zyprexa for anxiety as it has been prescribed. Is it true, it can cause diabetes and if so after how long ?

batmanjoey is so right! Therapy is very beneficial but sometimes we have to accept that we need medication....and that's okay. Anxiety is like any other medical condition requiring daily medication to control the symptoms. If you were told you had diabetes, you wouldn't think twice about taking medication for that.....anxiety is no different. Anxiety is robbing you of so much and therapy and/or medication is how we fight back.

Are there ANY anxiety/depression meds that are allowed to take during pregnancy?

We use hydroxyzine at the hospital more frequently for preoperative sedation and postoperative nausea than as an antianxiety med. It IS classified as an antianxiety medication, more commonly known as Atarax, but it's just not a usual "first-line" choice for most doctors. Nothing wrong with it........if it's helping. If it's not, don't hesitate to ask your doctor for something else.

There are traditional ways to treat anxiety and depression and not always medication involved. Therapy is really great, CBT, to help learn to face issues and have appropriate coping skills. Self soothing techniques help. Exercise is a mood stabilizer. Meditation, hypnosis, etc. When medication is also used that is traditional medication, it doesn't have the residual affect of being high. I don't judge. It's not about that. It's just a more complicated lifestyle.

I am on medication for anxiety and stress. I went back to my doctor's today and they increased my medication because I started out as a level 6 for my anxiety and now I am at a level 15. I am also irritated at home and yelling a lot at my kids because they don't listen. Mind they are 5 and 2 years old. My relationship hasn't been great with my boyfriend of 6 years lately.

Absolutely kids can have anxiety and panic. Even the physical symptoms. And it is funny that the doctor says that you suffer from mild anxiety. Most rational, moral humans do don't they? If your daughter's tests come back normal, get referred to a phsychaitrist if possible. Many doctors try to refer us to counselors, like LCSW's, but I am sorry, they just do not help. I have found that psychaitrists are the best.

Hello My name is Sabeli And i was diagnosed with anxiety attacks.

Im wondering why my medication that im on is not helping my anxiety at all...i am tapering off it but im still on it so why dont it help my anxiety....

Hi All. Im new to the site but so glad i have found somewhere to talk to people with similar illness. I have been having panic attacks now for 6 weeks related to a health worry. Mines always relate to health worries. I have been on zoloft for years but my doctor put me on Alprax 3 x 0.5mg per day but he doesn't want me to keep taking them because they're addictive. They also suggested putting me on Zyprexa short term.

Things like rocking can be a way of "self soothing". Kids will do it to calm themselves and their nervous systems. I would let him do it. No, I disagree about medication out there to stop rocking. If you sense that he is doing it due to anxiety, then I'd address the anxiety which can be started without medication. But some kids will spin, rock, etc. to "slow" down their engine.
