I concur. I was prescribed to anti-depressants for anxiety while in college. Hated the side effects, so I just stopped taking them one day. Talk about a horrible experience.
I'm lucky to not have too many bad side effects on Zoloft. The worst things are that I feel tired more often, and now I have a tendency to take naps that end up being 3-4 hours. When I sleep, even during naps, I have vivid dreams, which it's known to cause. I had a semi-lucid dream the other day about being able to fly and go through walls, so that was fun.

Who said that side effects were supposed to be bad?

You have to learn to replace the meds.
Yup. There is a chemical imbalance component to anxiety, so treating that is a good first step. But I've learned that a big part of anxiety is due to huge bad habits caused by coping with that imbalance, like letting your mind run away with cognitive dissonance and downward spirals of bad thoughts.

i was prescribed klonpoin to help me stay sleep, Zoloft for during the day and Xanax .25 for as needed.
i stopped taking the xanax and klonpoin. I take the zoloft maybe once every 2 weeks now.

No point in taking Zoloft once every two weeks
Do that with the other two

Get him a copy of a book called The Healing Codes. Clear it up in a couple of weeks. Everything is caused by stress. Heal the stress, heal the problem permanently.

Effexor, 75mg every other day. Hate the stuff. Gained 20 pounds on it that I can't get rid of short of starving myself. Have tried quitting but the brain tremors are bad, bad shite.

Xanax make me sleep, thus not anxious.

My doctor gave me Klonopin for flying. He actually encouraged me to drink while on them to help fall asleep.

Can't you get dependent on those meds?
quote:Agreed.
xanax is a terrible drug to be on long term
An SNRI or SSRI would have been my choice if I was going to start anything.

Apparently had my first anxiety attack the other day and my doctor gave me xanax... within an hour I wasn't short of breath anymore and didn't have a headache plus I don't think about shite that makes me anxious as much so I'm a believer in taking them for the time being.

ssri's suck when you first start taking them, but in the long term they are wayy better. I will say this to anyone thinking of lexapro.. MAKE SURE you get lexapro, not the generic celexa. two different meds, and celexa has horrible side effects.. although they pass it off as the generic lexapro.

This. You pretty much have to take it every day.

completely retarded to quit drugs like that cold turkey btw
actually, for Wellbutrin, you can just stop… it's not an SSRI…. it doesn't need to be tapered off of…
Lexapro, Celexa, Effexor, etc., these need to be weened off of, but Wellbutrin doesn't…

you sure don't know shite….
Lexapro (escitalopram) is a pro-drug of Celexa (citalopram)…
in vitro, escitalopram is converted to it's active form, citalopram… essentially, for all intents and purposes, it's the same god damn drug…
