bros with anxiety

[marky]

For those with panic/anxiety disorder. Get off the depressants. The tricyclic antidepressants will effectively lock out the anxiety and panic attacks and allow you to get on with your life without being down medicated. Believe me Ive been there. Tofranil, Anafranil, any of the Imipramine family are excellent for treatment.
They do take a few weeks to work but when they do its like waking up in the morning to a whole new great life.
What came first the chicken or the egg? What came first the stress or the anxiety? Anxiety/panic disorder is a
100% chemical imbalance originated disorder that has genetic connections. It often will run on one side of the family. My brother and I are from 180 degree different
mentalities with the same disorder from the mothers side. Once the disorder was treated with medication, all the "mental" aspects slowly vanished. There was no need for psychotherapy.

Note:
Proof of the anxiety disorder is comfirmable by IV injection of sodium lactate(commonly found in IV ringers)
Within a minute spontaneous anxiety and panic attacks will occur.

Like many of the above posts, I have taken every anti-anxiety drug made, and most of the anti-depressants. The only anti-anxiety drug that seems to help both my panic attacks and general anxiety is xanax. 3mg-4mg per day and I weight 167 lbs.

I don’t see an increase in anxiety on gear.

Have not heard of serzone and will be checking it out


Good luck hope you find a solution.

serzone

All you guys with anxiety problems look into serzone. I had anxiety for years,, and I thought I was just stressed out or maybe even had the flu. I would get panic attacks and all that great stuff.

Finally I went to a good doc that prescribed me serzone. AFtert the first week I was back to my old self.. that shit is amazing.. I have been on it for 1 year now.

Must say for all of you that dont have big appetites due to anxiety... this will get you eating like a horse.. Ive gained about 20lbs since on this stuff.

I will probably be on for more than 10 years..... maybe even the rest of my life...

If you have a chemical impalance.. just think of it like diabetes.. u need your insulin.

hope this helped..... sure helped me

I agree. Anafranil is an excellent treatment especially when used in conjunction with an SSRI. However not being able to ejaculate is a severe side effect!

There is an ongoing debate as to whether anxiety disorders are primarily the result of biological predisposition (and thus amenable to drug treatment) or psychological in nature (and necessitating cognitive treatments). The general wisdom holds that both physical and psychological causation are coterminous and that medicine and therapy are inevitable partners in any recovery. Still, one will find strong advocates for both poles, with some stating that anxiety disorders are the result of flawed biology while others will argue that the use of medication is escapist and even dangerous.

disagree,
maybe if it is minor i can see it will lock them out and let you carry on with your life. but with these attacks i am talking about, you have to be medicated down. they are out of control. sometimes they go away for a VERY long time. for instance; mine are gone at the moment and have been for about 1 year. i am waiting for it to come back. they are so fucking unpredictable it's a bitch!
now i have no clue how bad his are but you may be right on these minor issues. but for those major cases, i wouldnt be going around telling people to lay off the anti-dep, it is a must.

oh and by the way, the reason some of you need 4mgs per day is because you acually NEED IT, unlike others who dont need it and use it to get high all the time

After several great years in Colorado at CU, and going
nowhere academically, I transferred to KU. My second year there it hit out of the blue. For two years straight, there were unrelenting persistent panic/anxiety attacks.
Doc put me on Ativan. Those few hours were blessed. But for two years they did absolutely nothing to effect the actual anxiety problem. I graduated with a 3.75 avg with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Then one day at home I began experimenting with meds perscribed for my bro. After trying a few, I settled on the Imipramine.
For two weeks I took 50mg at night (as they made me drowsy). The bottle was almost empty so I swallowed the last 5 (250mg) on the 15th night. The next morning I woke up and right away something was different. I could smell the breakfast cooking; the sounds outside were more clear .... then it hit me. This fricken shit is absolutely GONE!!! From that moment on life began again. Ive been on now for 15 years. Have tried too many times to count to drop the med. This shit is as real as needing insulin. Although you wont die without the med, you might as well be. Just one story.
Life is great now, getting married, have my own business........n'uf said.

I had the same experiences with inositol. Effexor had only been partially effective. 3 years of serious depression and associated anxiety culminating in my losing interest in girls, washing, work, food, and of course training.

I read about inositol. I bought some 2 months ago. I took 4 grams on that first day. I felt better. Next day I took 10 grams.. within hours I was happy and back to normal. A me that I had forgotten. I also started to dream again?

Inositol rocks.

Diamonddice-the imipramine can take several weeks to over a month to work. Everyone is different and you need to experiment with the dose to know what works best. Ive been as high 300mg a night and now and for the last 6 years 200mg has been ideal. After the first few months the sides became almost imperceivable. Imipramine is one of the few meds in this area that have been studied for over 30 years.

GaryWary-Im very interested in what you have experienced with inositol. Ive always believed that
there was something lacking or a natural derivative of something the body needed to correct an imbalance.
If I remember right from my GNC days, inositol was somewhat pricey. I remember people buying a shit load at once to cut coke. Are you still taking it? Do you need to take it daily? How much have you experimented with the dose?
