Anyone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder?


I believe I have it and spoke to my doctor and she thinks I might too, but said I should try to avoid drugs.

I don't take drugs unless I must (advil included).

How many of you are not on, or recently went on anti-depressants/axiety drugs.

Should I give them a shot? How did they help or not help?

I am studying Psychology so I understand how EXACTLY the meds work. I also understand that there are somethings to help, but if it is indeed GAD, I should be on something

I took zoloft.... I didn't do very well. I went from super stressed out and suffering from depression and anxiety to a usless blob. I didn't care about anything at all when I took it. I didn't care if I lost my job, couldn't pay my bills... I just wanted to stay home in my bed and sleep. I wish you the best of luck, this is a hard thing to deal with. There should be a support group for people like us. Its hard to make people understand how hard this is to have. My anxiety was so bad I ended up with $1000 in traffic tickets because I COULD NOT go into the building to pay them. I was sick everyday becasue I simply couldn't go to work. I couldn't talk about my problem because I was afraid of what people would say. Its hard and I feel for you. Just realize if there is something you feel you can't do... don't panic.. get someone to help you. I'll stop.. you probably got tired of reading a while ago anyway.

good luck.

To help with an anxiety disorder you almost have to take medication. You need something to prevent the sympathetic nervous system from starting the panic stage in which an anxiety attack happens. Everyone has the trigger mechanism, but it is much lower in some people. You can take medication to prevent the anxiety.
