One definition of insanity is keeping doing the same thing, and expecting different results. See au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110723233137AAhOjeN about anxiety.
How to stop being anxious all the time? I have an anxiety disorder and people always ask me why im nervous and im so quiet. ive tried medications: seroquel, pristiq, buspar, zoloft, paxil, welbutrin, ativan .5mg, and prozac. Im currently on buspar and pristiq. None of these medications help and im still very nervous all the time. People ask me why im always nervous and its irritating because they dont know i have anxiety disorder. What should i do. Which medications works for anxiety
Prozac is great. It requires monitoring, but the results are good. I would also suggest going to a therapist.They can help you deal with anxiety
can my anxiety increase while/before my period even if I'm on medication? I finally got my period after 3 months of not having it. ( it's irregular because tomorrow will only date 1 year from when i first got it) Anyway, I suffer from panic and anxiety disorder so i was prescribed 10 mg prozac, two days ago i started 20 mg, and i have been taking it for a little under a month. I felt some improvement because i didn't have a panic attack in forever, although i do have anxiety, i started to see it lessen more and more. ( most of the time atleast) but this week before my period started this morning, I felt extra anxious and had a small panic feeling. I also have been thinking about life so much lately and it really frightened me thinking about how everyone will die one day. this alone sparked more anxiety. Is this normal even though im on medication, or are the meds not working yet?
What can I do about this MAJOR OCD tendency? I have OCD which is mostly controlled as I am on Prozac, however, lately I cannot go on the computer (meaning touch the mouse or keyboard) without gloves. The other day I ate something gross by the computer and I washed everything down but I can still "smell" it and it makes me want to throw up. Therefore, I will not touch anything in here without gloves. What can I do?It's not the fear of breaking my computer. Its the fear of the "smell" getting on my hands and not coming off.
Address why you are so worried about touching your computer without them. (Example: you are afraid your computer will break and you have no money for a new one or someone yelled at you about it) I recently started obsessing about a decision I made that really seemed to piss someone off, the more I obsessed about it, the bigger the problem got. You just have to know there is no way to go back and drop it.
Change your medication.. I have OCD and my laptop is white and I can check it in every detail... Now with my meds I let my kitty lay where the keyboard is.. But I'm mostly a checker,I can control my germ-phobia..
Use the Psychological principle of Extinction. What you will need to do is use your computer and mouse without gloves, for as long as you can (even if only 30 seconds). Then, go wash your hands and show yourself that the smell does in fact come off. Do this repeatedly, for longer durations on the computer and shorter durations of hand washing. In essence, you must prove to yourself that the smell doesn't stick. ;DAbove all, dont consider yourself abnormal. And dont be afraid, there is always a solution.
You could replace the mouse & keyboard, but that would just strengthen your OCD; I agree with Matt about using "extinction". View my previous answer about OCD at au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111016062504AAMfoS1 Also read the answer by Niki.
What are your experiences with 20mg Prozac and 0.5mg Klonopin? My doctor just prescribed me 20mg of Prozac and 0.5mg of Klonopin (both to be taken before bedtime, once daily). Has anyone taken these two meds together? What are you experiences? Also, I am considering halfing the pill and only taking 0.25mg of the Klonopin.I may want to add that I am taking them for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
I think doctors often prescribes benzos (the klonopin) to counteract some of the negative side effects of antidepressants (the prozac). I'd take both medications as prescribed.
Take both medications as indicated. They both are used for seizure disorders or panic disorder. Prozac is also used to treat major depressive disorder, bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder) obsessive-compulsive disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Is it worth taking prozac if I'm depressed and unhappy with my life? I've been growing more unhappy with my life over the past 3 years. I have all of the major symptoms of depression- constant feeling of sadness, lack of energy, and trouble sleeping or over sleeping. Because of all this I've become socially isolated and probably just seem weird to everyone. I'm not suicidal or anything, but I'm just constantly unhappy. I've tried everything I could to naturally solve this but I just can't seem to shake it. I've been thinking medication may be necessary, but I'm worried about the side effects. Can you share you're experience with prozac or other antidepressants like prozac?? Thanks
the side effects are the least of your concerns,as they are little if any.make an appointment with your primary,and talk honestly,and he will be able to help you greatly.a brief check up just to make sure every thing is o.k.and you'll be on the way to a new life.
