Meds for anxiety?

[njmuscleguy]

I don't know. Some things seem to trigger at times. I think too much about things like the future, where I'm at now, shit with my parents, shit with a girl, to name a few.

I'm not trying to downplay what you're going through... everyone deals with stress differently... but it also seems that you're stressing over very normal things....so first and foremost, try to convince yourself of that... understand that those concerns are just part of life and there's no need to work yourself up into a tizzy over it... take more "time-out's"... take some time-off... do some breathing/relaxing exercises... get a massage... try some OTC calming stuff like chamomile, kava kava...and the best advice is, remove yourself from the stress (or remove what's causing the stress)... easier said than done, I know...but sometimes you CAN do it!

Now if none of this stuff works, then see your doctor (especially if it ever gets tot he point of having "bad thoughts" about yourself or life in general)... I've never had depression but I do get anxiety often... I've been dealing with panic attacks for years now... they get really bad, to the point where I feel I'm going to black out or even just drop dead....and they come on with no warning, even when I'm completely calm and unstressed.... years ago, my doctor put me on Prozac and later Paxil (not for depression but for panic attacks/anxiety)... I HATED IT... I was a zombie on that stuff, even at lower dosages... I wasn't myself, had no personality, no libido...nothing... I eventually weened myself off... and my doctor prescribed xanax for me to take "as needed"... to this day, I still only take it "as needed"... valium works ok, though it's not as strong...

Good luck bro... stay calm!

Some of the best Fast acting anxiety meds

1. Xanax
2.Valium
3.Klonopin

Some really good long term meds

1. zoloft
2. prozac
3. buspar
4. paxil (I had alott of sides on this)
5. Lexapro

Ive tried alot more then just these, but the ones that seemed to help alot are xanax,klonopins and prozac. Everyones diffrent and theres a bigger variety of anxiety meds out there the key is to find out what works for you

zoloft @ 100mg ed works great for me.

i also use betwen 1-3mg xanax per day. sometimes i'll switch it up with klonopin about 2-4mg a day of it.

buspar literally made me feel like i was going to fall over dead.
made me feel so shitty that i wished i would

I take Klonopin. I don't take it daily, only as needed. It greatly calms me down.

Just overwhelmed right now. I should be able to deal, but it's just a bitch right now.

I've very curious...many men are not open about their anxiety. Do the ppl in your every day life know you suffer from panic disordres?
I know so few men that suffer so wondering if they just keep it quiet.

i'm pretty open. if someone asks, i say "i'm having a panic attack, if you tell anyone, i'll kill you after it passes."
