Avatar m tn I would stop and feel my heart and check my breathing. I watch a few of the, Attacking Anxiety and depression and learned how to slow my breathing. It worked! No anxiety for 9 years. You can control it.
Avatar f tn Hello, I was diagnosed with a Pituitary tumor about 18 years ago. I started suffering with anxiety and depression at age18. I had the signs back then but wasn't diagnosed for 10 more years. I was given dostinex which I took till 5 years ago. I'm 46 now. At this time I was also on a anxiety med and had no anxiety that I can recall. I quit taking the dostinex as I said 5 years ago and have been suffering ever since.
Avatar f tn Hello margypops. Thank you for your story. Please tell me about your "Brain Zaps". You and I have a lot in common. I've been diagnosed with GAD and have prescription for clonazepam. It seems to help. I only take 1/2 or even 1/4 pill when I need to relax. I have constant tinnitus and I sometime experience a "Zap" coming from my ears (head) when I am falling asleep. But this not related to meds. Is this the same you are referring to?
Avatar m tn Several members of my family have the same issue as you. They get anxious around big groups of people, at church, at restaurants. Each handled it a different way. Medication mostly, but I understand your desire to avoid that route. I've been listening to tapes from the Midwest Center on anxiety and one thing they recommend is just throwing yourself into the situation that scares you.
Avatar m tn I bought kit from the Midwest Centre for Anxiety and Depression, it is a 15 week course, but at the end i felt 80% cured. With time, and through constant practice, i would say that i am basically cured. In addition to changing your way of thinking, the course teaches you to relax through breathing exercises. I would really reccommed you look into the Mid West Centre for Anxiety and Control and let me know what happens.
Avatar n tn They always eventually pass. There is a great program called "Attacking anxiety and depression" available through the Midwest center. It sounds silly on TV but really works for panic attacks. It teaches you how to breath, speak soothingly to yourself and not be afraid of panic attacks. Also, have you tried calming herbs like valerian, kava, passionflower, hops etc? Or, there is a drink called A to B Calm. It has magnesium and calcium. Other magnesium drinks work well and quickly too.
Avatar f tn Is it true about any depression medication you don't feel anything you have no emotion anymore?
1539379 tn?1294332115 what do you do to calm yourself down when you feel an anxiety attack coming on, or just to relax in general? Mine used to be a few scotch and waters, and maybe a cigar at the end of a long hard day, but my doctor (dubbed "Dr. No" by me and my wife) says no alcohol, no cigars, no caffeine :( I've found a better way to relax though. It's lavendar pillow spray, 2 cups of chamomile tea and my relaxation cd from the midwest center...hope to get a good night's sleep tonight!
Avatar m tn i find avoiding contact with people alleviates the symptoms a bit,and i never used to be like that,which makes me lean toward anxiety. i went to the doctor about a month after this started and i was officially diagnosed with anxiety,but i still have my doubts. i never feel like myself and i always have this funny feeling in my body and my head,like my limbs are weak. as i said some days are better than others but to be honest i havent had a good day since it started.
2064754 tn?1333375663 There are different types and classes of medication that people are prescribed for anxiety and depression. There are faster actiing meds like Xanax and Ativan that are used on an as needed basis and are usually prescribed more short term and then there are medications like Zoloft and Prozac (SSRIs) that are prescribed more long term and taken on a regular basis. While these are only two types, there are also multiple other classes of medications that are used in the treatment of both.
Avatar f tn This pranayam will get you in a very relaxed state, and gradually help with the anxiety and depression. When you can do anulom vilom for more than 15 minutes, you will start to get over the anxiety.Let me know when you start to notice the benefits.Do it with concentration and with eyes closed. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute. Kapalbhati pranayam -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second.
Avatar f tn After many years of not really looking after myself, I have finally realized I have to give up drinking and cigarettes for good if I really want to beat anxiety and depression. I hope you feel better soon.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum and thanks for your question. Congratulations for a rational approach to your new relationship and your conscientious decision to be tested for HIV -- as well as for other STDs, please. You needn't be at all worried about HIV. Asuming your sexual history since 2008 is accurate and complete, you indeed practiced entirely safe sex and the chance you are infected is virtually zero.
Avatar f tn haven't taken it myself, but it's usually used for depression, not when anxiety is the primary concern since it's considered a stimulating anti-depressant. Because of this, you might get more responses from the depression forum, but we'll see. It's main use with anxiety sufferers is when an ssri causes weight gain and/or sexual side effects -- then wellbutrin is sometimes used to help mitigate these side effects in combination with the ssri.
Avatar m tn org/wiki/Tramadol#Uses It has been suggested that tramadol could be effective for alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, and phobias[11] because of its action on the noradrenergic and serotonergic systems, such as its "atypical" opioid activity.[12] However, health professionals have not endorsed its use for these disorders,[13][14] claiming it may be used as a unique treatment (only when other treatments failed), and must be used under the control of a psychiatrist.
941766 tn?1257796601 Like the person above me replied the Vitamin B family is great for anxiety and depression. I also have used 5HTP, L-Thenine, and Ashwandha with pretty decent success. I have heard that st Johns Wort is good for the depression side but it never really did anything for me. Oh, I also tried Valerian Root but that just made me tired. I'm glad you are looking to go natural too.
Avatar f tn that I thought I was well enough to start weening off the Lexapro I had been taking for almost 8 years or so. The Lexapro in conjunction with the Attacking Anxiety and Depression (CBT Program) program by the Midwest Center, pretty much saved my life. In hindsight, I feel that weening of the Lexapro was a mistake. I think I am always going to need the Lexapro to some degree because ever since I got off it, I have slowly felt the anxiety mounting.
Avatar f tn I, like lonewolf07 used accupunture as a means of reliving my depression and help with my anxiety and it did work for me also. But, for me I only felt the positive effects for about a week and then I would need another treatment. I recently moved so don't have a source available yet and has lonwolf07 siad it;s rather expensive.
Avatar n tn Ah...............What exactly is this "program" you're talking about? It would seem you need to contact this Midwest company again and speak with a manager about the agreement you had. Did you know you're on an anxiety forum? Is this misunderstanding causing you a great deal of anxiousness? We aren't allowed to buy and sell items in this community, perhaps you could try Ebay.
Avatar f tn Two years ago I went through depression for the first time in my life, because of the above and Cipralex helped, but I guess only for so long.
6389103 tn?1390499202 I am in the same boat.

Avatar f tn ve been struggling with depression and since I was a senior in high school. I was hospitalized for a week my senior year because I wanted to kill myself.
