Lola:
I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I have recently come to the conclusion that without medication I would have constant and extreme anxiety, as I have a chemical imbalance and my brain requires the medication to ensure the seretonin levels are maintained appropriately.
I would recommend working with a doctor to find the right medication. Make sure you are giving the medication time to work. There are plenty of options and one is sure to at least help to reduce the anxiety. I have taken both Lexapro and Pristiq, but both had to supplemented with additional medications. I took Lexapro and Lamictal together, along with Xanax. Then, I switched to Pristiq and supplement it with Lithium. Lithium is generally used for Bipolar, but it can be used to treat anxiety, which is what I take it for. I also take xanax. I cannot speak to depression, as I do not suffer from depression.
Best of Luck, |
