Kiwi_Sweet Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm going to the doctors on January 24 to get my blood tested for any thyroid problems. I'm also going to ask her about anxiety and if there are any medications I can get on for it? Does anyone have any suggestions? Your help is appreciated. Thank you, Fruitylips1 (In particular, is there any medication out there that can help calm me down? I'm too finicky and always in a rush. Let's just say that my emotions get the best of me. ty) Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Personally, I wouldn't do the medication route at this point in time. First see what your thyroid issues are in case you need medication for that. Being too finicky and always in a rush is not grounds for medication...tap into yourself and your emotions and figure out why you are finicky and in a rush..and then work on focusing your mind so that when you feel yourself going down that road, you are able to stop yourself and calm yourself down. Why put medications into your system without first trying to sort out the behaviour through cognitive methods. Link to comment
Miss Firecracker Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The medication I take is perfect for me but caused psychosis in another person I am close to. So I would never recommend it to anyone else. I am taking a Zoloft generic, Sertraline. It has taken away almost all of my anxiety, and there was plenty. Link to comment
catwalk Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 every med except Wellbutrin (generic Buproprion) might make you into a zombie... which will take away the anxiety but also most other feelings (and your sex drive). wellbutrin is good for anxiety, and does not have the same side effects as the other AD's. everyone is different though.

Myk_ Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 5-HTP is seen as somewhat of a natural anti-depressant, might do some good. Link to comment
catwalk Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I dunno..... when I couldn't breathe and my chest felt like it was caving in and ready to explode at the same time and I couldn't sleep because I didn't know what was going on.... I don't think random natural/herbs were going to help me. I take wellbutrin and I feel like myself again, and my anxiety and panic attacks are GONE. Link to comment
Kiwi_Sweet Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Does not being able to focus in school stem from anxiety? I used to be able to focus and I was very sharp, but now I'm constantly worrying about who's looking at me and how I'm sitting or how I look. Does anyone else go through this?? And is this a possible ADD disorder??? Not being to focus?? Link to comment
akazie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It sounds like you have anxiety not ADD. I found it hard to focus as well but now I am taking Luvox and everything is much better. Link to comment
