Just wanted to introduce myself,my name is
gen,and i'm 23 years old,and I just lost
both my parent's in less then a year,i
suffer from anxiety,and it's the toughest
thing i've had to go through in all of my
life,i've been on 3 different medications
to get me to stop having these attacks but
it hasn't worked till now,the medications
have only provoked worst attacks,what I
wanted to know is if anybody had any info
they could give me to help me through
these tuff times it would be really
appreciated,i've been in therapy for 4
months now and I feel i'm getting
nowhere!I have my ups and downs,and
knowing that i'm starting a new medication
just scares me because I think it will
just do like the others,provoke my
attacks,this is my first time on these
sort of sites,so if someone can reply I
would be really happy:)
thanx -gen-

i suffered from anxiety for over 4 years
of my life. I tried many medications,
probably 5 or 6 kinds, all of them made it
worse until I found one (celexa, or
celatapram) I only took a small dose,
combined with therapy. For me, the best
therapy was having a really tight support
group. Also, facing your fears might
help. I was never leaving my house, so I
had a friend take me out for awhile each
day. Eventually, I got a full time job
and fully recovered. I stopped my meds
when I got pregnant, and have anxiety from
time to time. But remember that some
anxiety is normal, and even healthy, as it
is our bodys way of telling us something
is wrong. I am sorry to hear about your
parents, I hope you have other family to
lean on. Try to relax your mind and body,
and keep taking your meds, as long as they
dont make it worse. It might take time,
but keep fighting the good fight, you'll
find peace in time.
