I feel for ya bro. My relationship is on the rocks right now, mostly due to how sensitive I am about everything my girlfriend says or does. Nothing she does is a big deal, I just choose to make it a big deal. I am very fortunate to have such a strong woman. I've really gotta try harder though, she isn't going to put up with much more of my shit for long. Dude, I hope you feel better soon.
Peace,
AJ.

Hang in there... sometimes I just go on a cannabis bender if I am feeling majorly anxious... just for 2 days or so... other things I have tried that help/help lots are:
Breathing right.. deep and slow!
Inositol/Niacin/B-complex
A nice girlfriend.....
Exercise...

what are you on ?Spunky said:went out to eat w/ my family last night.. i can hardly function in public and around other people because of my anxiety.. i feel like a complete dumbass. I still try to go out and have fun but its impossible........ i hope this paxil helps SOON..
water boy, i am on 200mgs of primobolan thats it.. i just came off off a fairly heavy cycle not long ago and the anxiety won't leave. so i went to the doc to get on some meds..... im just taking the 200mgs of primo to try and stay in an anabolic state.. its hard to focus on lifting and eating right when i feel like i do..
Paxil will take close to three weeks to hit therapuetic levels. Dr. should have given you a three week script for xanax while you wait for the Paxil to kick in. Do not fret, you will be a new person once this starts working (assuming your problems are chemical, if paxil does not work, then you probably are having more psychological problems that can be worked out with a good psycho-therpaist) Feel free to pm or e-mail me on this subject. And remember, things can only get better!

this is too weird spunky. in September my antianiety med of 17 years began to stop working on and off. At the end of january i quite hesitantly decided i had to try a switch so i was put on paxil and phased off imiprimine. They gave me ativan to ease the anxiety as the imipramine left my system. I added a little wine to the concoction and i was in trouble as the anxiety overwhelmed me i lost my mind and my wife left me. now were separated and im trying to pick up the pieces but some things may not be repairable. Been on the paxil for a month and a week and im not sure its the one. i do feel ok but just not right. i may have to go thru another switch to anafranil (very similar to imipramine) that helped my brother who suffers the same genetic predisposition. This shit really suck doesnt it. thank God for friends family and bros. email me if you want to talk-Mark
Aww, man, is this thread bringing back some nightmares. I remeber once being in a grocery store and saw two young women laughing. I was so overwhelmed by anxiety at that point in my life that I marveled at the fact they were able to laugh. I just couldn't imagine anything even remotelly amusing about life. Paxil, klonipin, and therapy eventually began to make me feel human again, but I had to try four anti depressants and three sedatives before I found the right cocktail that worked for me. I think the important point to remember is that, for the vast majority of us anxiety sufferers, it's not a permanent condition. Think of it as just another hump to get over. If the paxil doesn't level you out after three weeks or so, go back to your doctor and impress upon him just how terrible you feel. Don't pull any punches. I've found that too many doctors think it's all in our heads.
Marky, sorry the pax isn't working for you. I had high hopes..

I've had this problem too, well specifically panic attacks. You need to find out what it is that is making you scared or unhappy. When I got rid of my problem (my ex), the anxiety went with it. Also try not to get scared when you feel the symptoms, because that can make you more anxious. Remember that your body is reacting out of fear, and hence causes your symptoms. As soon as you accept that they are normal responses to stress you will conquer the anxiety.

re: last post:
I'm not sure if spunky or anyone else is having panic attacks it didn't sound like it, but your advice of getting to the root of the matter to help with the occurances was good I think. To help with the symtoms of a full blown attack, I found these things usefull:
a) When I was having them, I would have to leave and find somewhere I could lie on the floor flat on my back, breathe and lookup. This always stopped the worst part of the heartattack feelings.
b) Try to remember that you will not actually die from your heart beating like that.
c) I found that smoking heavy heavy pot would sometimes bring on attacks. I also found getting too wired on coffee/cafeine.
d) Beta agonists such as clen, may not be great for anxiety/panic attacks.

I am just curious if you anxiety has been with you all your life or if it happened soon after AS usage, I've heard from some that AS at an early age can give real bad anxiety disorders and panic attacks and just curious if this is the case with any of you guys since there seems to be a decent amount of you guys with this problem.
Yes, these symptoms came after I used AS, but who knows if that is what caused it. I also have alot of stuff going on w/ my ex gf that stresses me out.. so who knows?
and yes I suffer from depression. I was diganosed with generalized anxiety disorder and mild depression.. i don't really feel depressed but the doc said i had all the symptoms. He told me you don't really have to feel sad to be depressed......

I have no medical background at all so of course don't take my advice without doing some thinking for yourself. That being said I used to be really depressed junior year of highschool. I would just get really sad for no real reason, and I was really really really insecure, I mean I had lots of friends, was well liked but I thought that no one liked me and they were just pretending. I began drinking by myself because I was upset which of course made matter 10 times worse. Well things go worse and worse, came close to suicide and then I began smoking weed, not even very often but like a few times per week. Since I was smoking weed I would do that recreationally instead of drinking so I'm sure that helped a lot with my depression but the depression pretty much went away over the course of a couple months it progressively got better. There was no other changes in my life that I can think of that helped me get out that of depression besides weed. Now I rarey smoke, maybe a few times per year, but I think it really helped me out a lot. Can't explain why but I felt more secure. Maybe it was just a coincidence and chemically I was a bit fucked up due to puberty and then hormones calmed down around same time as I started smoking weed but I've always thought it was the weed. I smoked pretty regularly (3 times per week at least) for about 1 1/2 and when I came out of that daze depression was still gone. Just thought I would share that story, maybe experimenting with pot in small dosages might help? I would probably eating it rather than smoking as this is horrible on lungs if I were to do it again to try to fight some sort of depression, but might be worth checking into. Again I have no medical background but thought I would share this story on the off chance that it might help someone. Hope you are well soon
Re: Re: Re: my head is soo fucked up
I actually get that too, if I smoke myself stupid then it happens. But like a bowl with a couple people used to mellow me out. Now I rarely smoke and only with old friends so when I do I get blitzed out of my mind. Did it for the first time in like 6 months the other night and oh boy was I crippled, could barely move/speak.Quadsweep said:
Weed actually makes me have an anxiety attack like feeling if I smoke too much!!!???

Hope you feel better Spunky. I don't suffer from anxiety but have
had little bouts of depression most of my life. Sometimes I would
feel great and then sometimes I would feel hopeless/helpless, but
I always managed to get out of it. I would just blame it all on
my wife
But then, I finally hit rock bottom. I was out of work
ill for like 3 1/2 months, was on all kinds of steroids (no, the bad
ones) and gained 30 lbs of PURE FAT!!! My doctor told me to
try celexa. I was always thinking I would never take any anti-
depressant. I always thought that shit was for crazy people. This
time, I gave it a try. After about a month 1/2, I have to admit
the quality of my life has improved immensely!! I don't get angry
over stupid shit anymore and I don't feel depressed. I just feel
good most of the time. I know a few people on paxil. It take a little while to kick in. Just give it some time dude. Good luck to
you.

You Bro's can flame me on this if you want to but I am trying to help this bro out.
I used to be like you, I was very uncomfortable around people, and I would only talk to girls when they came to me (way too shy/timid to approach them).
I had to get loaded just to be able to socialize with anybody, it was a bad situation.
Drinking was getting in the way of my weight training and I became a hermit, pretty much gave up on being social at all.
Then I went to a techno club here in GR, and some friends of mine convinced me to try some XTC. I was amazed at how at ease I was around people and because I was not loaded I was able to have intelligent conversation. I made more friends that night than I had in the previous year!
I have rolled only twice since then, but the effects have been unreal. To me it was like a huge therapy session that convinced me that people are just people and there is no need to be afraid.
I am so much more at ease around people and so much happier because of it.
For me it was a big positive, I am aware it can be bad for you, but in my eyes it is worth it, the quality of life factor has gone up immensly for me.
There are lots of things in life we do that are bad for us, Steroids, smoking, drinking, social drugs, for me it's a risk/reward decision.
Anyways, I felt for you on this post and wanted to share my experience with you.
GOOD LUCK!
