I spoke with my Therapist assistant last week and she was asking what kind of medicine I’ve looked into. I’ve haven’t thought about taking medicine for my Anxiety, Depression,PTSD. I thought this could be something I could get through with time but as I go on It’s harder than I thought . I found myself in the hospital 6 times in the last year because of chest pains. I know everyone is different and medicines work on a case by case basis . Is there any medicine out there that y’all would recommend . I also looked up some medicines for my mental health . I rating these based off of online reviews and more than one person I found that a lot of people are taking these.

Buspirone - 3star

phenelzine (Nardil)-1star

tranylcypromine (Parnate)-2star

clonazepam- 4stars

alprazolam-4stars

hydroxyzine- 4stars

Open to any suggestions

Hi Blu, you would be surprised at how many people are on medication for mental health

issues. After all, it is no different than being treated for a physical illness. It is not a

failure to need that medication support. It can be very beneficial along with therapy in

allowing you to get back on your feet and proceed forward.

We all need that extra help at times. Unfortunately, there is not just one pill that works

for everyone. Each one of us responds differently to any medication. Trust in your therapist/

doctor as to what they recommend. Give it a chance, it may be exactly what you need. :) xx

Thank you for the support. I’ve been telling myself I’m okay for so long. I started to believe it until I lost my job a good job that I’ve been working hard to get . I can’t have my mental health running my life. Especially with my medical bills always going to the hospital for chest pain and they run test tell me I am healthy as a horse. Went to see my PCP and she recommended I go see a therapist. So I hope my therapist is non bias and shoots it straight cause I need a miracle .
