Have You Taken Anti-Depressants/Anxiey?

[Screwedupclick4life337]

Thank God I didn't have to take none of those things so far in my life

I take Cymbalta for depression and Vyvanse for Adhd. It's been a wild ride to get on the right meds though. Now my blood pressure and sugars are high and they are trying to take me off of them. I don't want to even go through this again!

My daughter passed away last March.  They loaded me up with antidepressants.  Now I am being weaned off.  The one that scares me is cymbalta.  I was taking 180 mg. a day.  60 mg in the am and 120 mg at bedtime.  They cut me to 60 in the am.  I read on several websites that cutting that much at once can make you really sick.  I even called the doctor on it.  But she still wants it cut that much.  Anyone else have that experience?

It was so many years ago that I took anything for depression that I am not at all qualified on the new medications now.  The one I took then worked for me but it's no longer available.

I have never had to take these kinds of medications and I pray I never will.

      The best therapy you can have for depression is to find out what is really bothering you. You will have to change your lifestyle and avoid stressful situations. Go and do things that makes you happy. Daylight is the best therapy you can have. Go for a walk to the park and enjoy your outings. Look at your diet: reduce salt and sugar...make other changes accordingly. And finally listen to your favorite music on UTube or any other music network.

I wanted to share something else about anxiety. Has anyone ever thought about coloring? It's not really a new thing so some of you may have heard/tried it. It makes a lot of sense though. It takes some concentration, you're focusing on other things, etc...I'm going to give it a try when I get some extra money. I mean you can pick up coloring books from a dollar store. They've also been selling coloring books for adults. I haven't looked at them myself but from what I gather the pictures are more intricate and probably take more time. There's some articles online if you want to read more about why it may help.

I have super bad anxiety. My doctor diagnoised it as social anxiety/social phobia. When I am around large groups of people and sometimes even just a few people I get real dizzy, can't concentrate and feel like I am falling. I have to hold on to something just to keep my self stable from being dizzy. It is different then most people I know with anxiety. I hate it. I was on xanax and celexa for years but am now only taking celexa.

I do because I have panic attacks and depression. I don't feel well when I'm not on my meds.

[myles26]

No, i do not take any anti-depressants or any anxiety medicine. When i get like that i just try and keep myself busy and surround myself with people, i hate taking medications.

[hawkeye3210]

Yes, I have taken them.

[tantricia44]

I take the generic brand of Zoloft

[sherryinutah]

I currently take a prescription drug for anxiety/depression.  It's a generic form of Lexapro and it seems to jive with my system, beautifully.  I feel more emotionally stable since I've been taking it so it really has improved my quality of life.

I have a major stomach problem and was told if I took Anti-Depressants that would clear it up. Well that to make a long story short I cause me many more problems and I still and my stomach problem after all.

[inertia4]

I have had a doctor give me some but I never took any of those pills. I am no fan of medication. Me and drugs do not mix.
