How to stop the anxiety problems?!

i was taking zoloft for my anxiety for a while but it never helped, i started drinking vodka to calm my nerves (i don't recommend that!) but i knew that it was not helping me get better and being faded all day sucked!. anyway i got on paxil about 7 months ago, and i feel such a difference! i am taking 30mgs but i can't beleive how much more confident i feel!.i would have panic attacks like everyday, i would feel the blood rush to my head, i would get hot, then feel sweaty and all i wanted to do was RUN! i also wouldn't be able to sleep at night, because i had a fear that i would not wake up, so i would wait till the sun came up, like somehow it being light outside i couldn't die in my sleep!.!.!.i had and still have some fears with silly things like that, but i don't think about it so much, i also am not scared to go out for fear of having an attack in public!.!.!.!.!. sometimes i can't sleep for a couple days but i can deal with that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had off and on problems with anxiety since my teens!.What really helped me was learning different stress relievers!.Counting backwards from one hundred every third number like 100, 97, 94, 91 etc breathing techniques and stretching exercises!.Counseling and group therapy didn't help because I was afraid at that time to admit the cause which for me was being born Ts!.You might want to see if any of the baggage that comes with being gay is causing your anxiety!.By the way I'm now past forty and have never needed to use medicine to control my anxiety it was a panic disorder which caused me to stop breathing and feel like i was going to have a heart attack quite the scary feeling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Switch medication!. Cause there is something out there, everyones bodies are different so they are going to respond better to different medication!. That happened otme, I had anxiety and took Lexapro, an antiepressant!. It did nothign for me, and then after a few monthsI switched to Paxil which is sooo much better and works geat!. You have to wait a few months to see if it works, give the new medication a chance but serioylsly, its that easyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Honey, are you worried that you are gay!? If you are -DON"T! When did you find out you were gay!? How old!? And this anxiety issues is the result!? Sorry to hear!. The first thing to do is to accept youself, in your heart, mind, body and soul!.!. Not any doctors or psychlogist can help until you erase the stigma in your head!. Be proud of who you are! No one can change that!. You are who you are!. Meds won't help!. What most likely to happen is that you will be highly dependent on depression drugs, because this is depression!.!. I was also taking drugs like you for anxiety --too many problems --and all it did was Meds made me feel ill!. I don't like it!. I faced all my problems head on!.by accepting what and who I am!. My focus now is write and learn how to play the piano!. I read my most favorite books, listen to soft music to ease my weary mind!. Look at the sky, is it blue!? And why so beautiful!? So as the flowers, the ripples in the rivers and oceans!.!.!.!.!. Because the sky and nature accepted that's where they belong!. I bet you are beautiful too!. So don't worry!. Do love yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
