What meds are you on?

I have panic disorder, depression, and social phobia. Right now I'm taking 20 mg of Prozac, 10 mg of amitriptyline (used to be 20 mg), and 1 mg of lorazepam. What meds are you taking?

 

I stopped taking meds after I found out that they don't cure the problem and hardly help it either. If you just stop taking meds all together you will realize your better off and will feel better in the end.

 

They pretty much cured the problem for me..

 

I'm not on any meds.......unfortunately. I think I have a panic/anxiety disorder, but I don't have any insurance or money to do anything about it. I have tried alprazolam for it before, and it seemed to help. If I could only control myself and not take all of the pills for recreation. I'd like to try lorazepam. I have an affinity for benzodiazapines. They're my friend.

 

I've had panic attacks since I was 5 yrs. old. But, only started meds about 7 years ago. I've tried xanax, zoloft, buspar, and a beta blocker(that was proven to help panic attacks, none of which helped. They all actually made my attacks worse. Then, I got on Paxil, which helped tremendously. I also took klonapin, which helped, but I stopped taking it, because it wasn't needed. I'm still on Paxil, but am starting to get off of it.
I think, though, medication only supresses the symptoms... it takes alot of work on your part to make the anxiety go away, it's tough, but.. that's pretty much the main way to help the symptoms go away.

 

im not depressed but since you didnt say specifically what antidepressant meds we are on, ill go ahead and share what im taking.

senakot laxatives.

 

I dont reguraly take any meds, but when I have anxiety too the point where my heart is racing and I cant make myself chill, i take a .5 xanax. I have a fucking pile of them for those situations. I only ever get that bad when I smoke herbs while bad shit is going on in my life. For example, I had a bad panic attack last night after I smoked a bowl, I tried drinking a few beers and a shot at first, but it wasnt helping, so I took one and was calmed down. But then again, Im facing 10 years in prison for reacting improperly to a situation that in no way was caused by me, so I think I have a little bit of an excuse lol. I never had anxiety before to the point where I felt like I needed to stupify myself with shitty benzos, man I really hate them, but when you need to just turn the world off for a night they do come in handy.

 

i take effexor,and found that they helped.i tried therapy,religion,and ither stuff but didnt feel any relief till i took effexor

 

You should really watch it with caffine. That stuff is not good for you. But seriously, I always wondered why the can't create an artificial version of things like dopamine and endorphins in pill form. They seem to be able to do everything else.

 

Well, there are shitty benzos, and then there is xanax, which is wonderful, IMO.

 

Valium.

I've always wanted to try a Soma just for the name.

 

I've been prescibed (30)- remeron 45mg. , (60)- xanax 2mg. for depression & a anxity disorders a month for about 5-6 year now. I also get (90)- hydrocodone ES 7.5's a month for two bad knee injuries due to motocross crashes.

 

Damn dude. You get hooked up on the hydrocodone and xanax. I'm envious.

 

Yea I know, that's what I have lol. I just dont care for the feeling they give too much.

 

Well, I can always give you my address and you can give them to me. That is, if you don't want or need them. I am in dire need of some xanax. I guess that's not the smartest move, though. I just gotta be patient. You could always sell them to someone and have some extra money for whatever it is you do like.

 

Yea definitley would love some opiates! But, I got fucked around this weekend twice, and one still hasnt payed me back. Im not worried though, he will pay, they always do But yea like I was saying earlier, I save the xan's for when I feel like Im losing my mind completely, but other than that they just sit in reserve. Fuck I took 2 yesterday, I may be going to jail for a long long time so Im kind of not myself lately. But then again, I may not, if I can prove to the judge what happened wasnt my fault. Shit is fucked up man, the court date is right before my sons 1st birthday. God I hate police lol

 

Yeah cops suck ass. Sometimes I just feel like running into the police station and making some bacon. Anywho, I hope things work out alright. Sounds like a good time for some xanax. I know you're stressin. I would be.

 

Thanks man, I think I should be ok, I have all the evidence on my side, its just a situation of them hating me because Im from the north, and I have to go to court in Myrtle Beach, SC. Most likely they will give me some jail time and then go after me for cash.

 

I self medicate with copius amounts of alcohol.

 

And oddly enough these aren't legal. What I meant was why pharmacists can't come up with legal versions of these drugs. This is the mental health forum, not the drug forum. Thanks for the info, though. I never knew there were illicit drugs that make you feel good. It's a strange, strange world.
