Answer 2

Yes. They help a lot. At first it takes a few tries to find the one that works the best for you. I took Lexapro and it worked ok but just not enough for me. I took Zoloft next and i was a complete zombie. I was on my own little planet with that one and nothing at all affected me. No emotion what so ever. So i switched again to Paxil and found the perfect one. Before i was really REALLY shy around people. Had major anger issues and just wanted to end it. Once i started taking the Paxil i found myself just talking to anyone who would listen. Complete strangers. which before would NEVER happen. If i had a thought and someone was around they were going to hear it. when before they would be lucky to get a Hello out of me. I didn't worry about anything. I felt like i was finally a normal person. I was on it for about 5 years. I stopped taking it about 8 months ago and i still feel pretty good. But beware. coming off of these drugs is no picnic. its horrible.

Ok here goes, I suffered from anxiety - panic attacks which actually give u physical feelings of doom, you hyperventilate and are convinced your having a heart attack or stroke, my doctor explained it like your mind is a big glass jar and bit by bit problems, events, deaths, finance, men etc etc arise and create a layer stress in this jar.  Normally as you sort these out the jar empties or as is normal(I hate that word) at night your mind files, deletes or saves for later these problems.  When you have anxiety the jar doesn't empty and over flows causing panic attacks etc.  I take Arapax or Paxine which doesn't actually make u feel high, good or different, it just takes away that feeling of doom or empties your jar.  Depression is different and caused in my daughters case from bullying, deaths, teenage hormones, crazy mother etc etc. Prozac she takes she says stops her feeling bad or worrying she says it makes her feel shoulders feel light.  Zoloft is similar but made her put on weight so she likes Prozac

Answer 4

Both.. but some natural ways to go is. Wilde lettuce. it has a calming ,restlessness and reducing anxiety and may even quell restless legs syndrome. When using wild lettuce supplement. take 30 to  120 milligrams before bed.

Answer 5

Depression and antianxiety medications do work.  Depression and anxiety are many times caused by chemical imbalances in the nervous system.  The medications prescribed by the doctors can reduce are eliminate the symptoms associated with these disorders.  Please see a psychiatrist.  They specialize in these problems.  Your family doctor maybe able to legally prescribe these medications but may not be qualified to do so.  You would not go see a podiatrist for irritable bowel syndrome would you?
