anxiety medication non addictive

my husband suffers from insomnia every few nights , he also seems depressed and unsatisfied , is this anxiety and if yes prescribe me a medication that is effective and won't cause addiction if he kept on it , thanks

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.

Never stop any SSRI cold turkey. Since these drugs are non-addictive people assume that you can stop and start very quickly. See your doctor and explain what you did. Perhaps he can prescribe something to take the edge off.

I've been having manic episodes lately, due to added drama is stress in my life & they are causing severe panic attacks. My dr put me on 0.5mg of klonopin. He told me to only take it when I really feel irritable or when I go to sleep. I be read a lot about this medication & I have myself scared to death to even try it!! Will it make me feel zoned out, tired, high like? Should it be taken only at night?

Hey im hannah and i need to find a non addictive Anti-Anxiety,if you have read my posts before you already know my brother passed away this year on accidental OD/Car Crash On anxiety meds so my mother is completely convinced i will pass away also on addiction. MY anxiety is so bad i cant even leave my house, im 16 i should be out having fun not having 54 panic attacks just leaving the house (i count them) anyone know what i should take it is getting very very unbearable!

There are non addictive medicines if you have anxiety problems, but detoxing off alcohol would be over by now. Good job on quitting drinking, congratulations.

In my experience with anxiety, medication has been a useful tool in confronting my anxiety. While some classes of medications (like benzos) can become addictive, they are usually prescirbed on a short term as needed basis whie you are prescribed a different kind of medication like an antidepressant--i.e. Zoloft, Lexapro, etc. I was also initially very hestiant to try any form of medication, but it has helped me tremendously.

Hi all, I have noticed on this sight that nearly everybody who is suffering from anxiety or an anxiety disorder is on strong medication in order to help the symptoms of this horrible illness. I was just wondering if anybody who is on this strong medication such as SSRI's and tranq's have actually ever recovered whilst being on these mind altering drugs?

Has anyone out here ever used it. I hear it's a "non-addictive benzo" is that true, and does it work? Thanks, Nauty..................

I'm a recovering opiate addict and have been clean over a year. When I stopped using opiates I was prescribed catapres for my blood pressure and anxiety. I have been on it for about a year and recently started abusing it taking 5 or 6 times my normal dose (.2mg) a about three times a day for the last 6 weeks. I was abusing it b/c at the high doses it gave me a "high".

m taking amphetamine for narcolepsy which is highly addictive.. but it cause the high anxiety... I need to know is there something else out there outside of xanax and buspar because i don't like how I'm really started to become so dependent on these pills they are a nightmare... Please help because I don't want to find myself addict to these pills..

Rozerem works by stimulating melatonin receptors in the body. It is non addictive and the only medication that is shown to be safe to use for six months of insomnia where as all of the other ones are generally expected to be used short term. Do you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep after falling asleep or both? The hope is if you are treating your anxiety disorder, that your insomnia will get better.

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.

ve certainly read a lot about it, only taken it once. As far as I know, and I could be wrong, it is supposedly non-narcotic, but is still highly addictive in some people. I believe that tramadol is more anti-inflammatory type qualities such as ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. In the end though, these are all addictive drugs, and should be used only as needed, and hopefully that need won't last too long.

So I've been experiencing chronic leg pain for 3 years now, going from doctor to doctor and getting no diagnosis. 3 months ago under the belief that it may be muscle related I was prescribed qualaquin 324mg tablets and physical therapy, neither really helped much but I faithfully took the qualaquin every night before sleeping. Now recently I've finally been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and given neurontin to treat it.

, since it is considered non-addictive. Physicians always try to use non-addictive medications like this to manage anxiety first. It is not recommended to start benzos before trying other non-addictive medications first. It may also be used to control withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and benzos.

Although I got another job right after, anxiety remained and is triggered easily by work interactions for many weeks. Medication did help with my anxiety and insomnia. I don’t have as much anxiety issue anymore but whenever I try to taper of Xanax, I cannot sleep. When I asked him again, he said keep taking Xanax -XR for three months as he thinks different medications will have other side effects.

t seem like the type who really knew or cared what she was talking about), all of the medical professionals say this medication is non-addictive and therefore has no withdrawal symptoms. HOWEVER, everything I have read from people who actually TAKE the medicine says that the withdrawal symptoms are absolutely horrendous. I am taking this for anxiety and I am also going to counseling for my anxiety.

I wa just wondering if anybody has managed to combat their anxiety without medication. I ask because I experience symtpoms everyday but my mom won't let me take the xanax that my doctor prescribed for me. I really want to stop feeling horrible all the time so i was wondering if anybody had any success with any thing else besides medication.

Did you ask your doctor for a form of medication that is non addictive? Or does he know of your fears over the addiction aspect of things? Most tablets are the same insofar as once you go on them you have to come off them slowly if that day arrives. But Buspar is said to be a lot easier on the addiction front. As in it is not as bad as the other forms of medication. So maybe, just maybe, that was why he put you onto the Buspar.

Vistaril is what I take some times for anxiety....it is non habit forming. It will knock you out the first time you take it. I sleep from 12 to 9 on it...so I have to be careful that I don't have to wake up early the next day.
