Unfortunately Veelala, it is not a quick fix but worth every moment as you

start feeling better. Try staying in a positive mood knowing that each day/week

gets you closer. Meanwhile, keep your focus on other things. The medication

will take care of it's self. My best to you. :) xx

hi Veelala,can you give us the name of the meds,as sometimes others can help .I hate the thought of going on different meds that the gp doesn't understand anxiety/depression---they are not interested -Citralopam ,was sprescibed for me last yr I read all the side affects and opted out.hope your feeling better soon.

For anxiety you should find that diazepam is quite helpful and should feel some relief very shortly after first dose

Not what you're looking for?
