Answer 1

its not very responsible for anyone to trow around names of medications for you to take. What works for someone may not work for you, it may even harm you. so you might want to check with a psychiatrist so he or she can prescribe you  the best for your case

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be a chemical they put in food called sucralose. And it is in a lot of stuff. From fitness water to tomato sauce.

Sucralose is what Splenda is. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels.



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Sometimes a simple 1mg Ativan or lorazapam will do wonders.  I suspect that your anxiety is secondary to something else.  So though the med I recommend works, without knowing what else is going on with you, I'm hesitant to flat out recommend something to you.

However, its not like you can buy it over the counter--its obviously prescription only but if you know OF the drug, you can ask your doc about it.  

Some psych meds can work in similar ways and pull double duty for say, someone with attention deficits, depression, Bipolar and various other mental health probs.

Not that you have any, I just don't know you and I want u to be aware.

See a doctor as soon as you can.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Or just cut out the drugs and the psychobabble and get to the root of what's REALLY stressing you out. Prescriptions are only a way to numb yourself and cover up the problem. They don't fix it. Get to the root of it. Have a long talk with yourself. Maybe you need a change of scenery? A new job? New friends? Think about it.
