Hi I'm also new and suffering from terrible anxiety and depression, I'm now taking mirtzapine and infadol as well as Valium, seeing a psychiatrist this Friday, my life feels horrible, I've 3 children and a husband who are struggling with this, I'm so scared, had episodes before but not really addressed them, was on citalopram till 2 days ago for 5 years, these new meds are making me feel very strange, all my symptoms point towards anxiety but I constantly worry its more serious, awaiting blood tests, I've little appetite as I feel so nauseous all the time, lost over stone, I'm very scared and can't see a way forward, has anyone else's experienced these medications and symptoms? ally x

I took Zoloft years ago and had so many bad side effects they took me off. Tried others but had the same effect on me so I can not take any of those:( so I only take clonopan to help refuse my anxiety. Just keep an eye on the med and if you start feeling worse let the doctor know. They kept upping my dose saying its gonna take more and at least 4 weeks to start working but I could not stop having attacks. The attacks were soooo much worse on the meds.

I had similar reactions to meds. They made me feel horrible. Everybody reacts differently. All I can take is xanax. small dosages to help me sleep at night when my mind goes on overload. Its hard to fight depression when your body cant handle the medications. I find it hard to eat when I'm stressed as well,But I do my best everyday to get by.

I use to be on lexapro but now I'm on Effexor it's ok but my thoughts never stop and I still have episodes of sucide which I won't do. How do you control your thoughts when you also have family issues that don't help too

Hey there, and welcome! I think you will find this a good place to let out your worries without being judged. It's hard to manage anxiety, and especially hard to manage it when the reasons behind our anxiety get bad. I think that you can't actually control your thoughts an feelings, but what you can do is control your responses to those stimuli. Have you ever tried meditation or guided imagery exercises?

I haven't heard to much about them
