Hi, have been having Anxiety issues for a month now and just seems like there is no help when you ask for it! Went into ER said it was my bowls!! I'm taking Seroquel does not work! Any one taking something else?

I take Lyrica. Was on it with gabapentin but it made my feet hurt. I also take hydroxyzine as needed. And I take a half of a blood pressure pill Clonidine as needed. Ive been on the herb ashwagandha for years now ..it helps with anxiety. I have a few generic Xanax but I try not to take those and when I do it's only a fourth. Keep searching and trial and error. Hope you find one that helps.

Hi - I'm not sure what country from but by the sounds of mentioning brand of drug Seroquel (drug name quetiapine) in my country is usually commonly prescribed for more antipsychotic disorders rather than first line treatment for anxiety diagnosis - not sure what other medication you may have tried as this may of effected the reason for drug chosen by prescriber or if first line treatment/ mechanism of action drug of choice is different per country. But perhaps may be worth looking into medication directly prescribed towards anxiety disorder i.e. citalopram or mirtazepine.Take this information with a pinch of salt and more guidance from experience and knowledge but could open a new direction of discussion with your prescriber? Again information may vary per country drug guidance but I know the right drug per person can be trial an error and a hard process for these conditions as is with out some one who can relate as I wish I had some one to tell me all this before self learning struggling alone! Correct medication is only half the battle alongside therapy and support but know even during a bad episode it will end and you're not alone!

if your bowels are a problem, get isapghula husk, ...and put the shavings in a sliced banana and nom it down (so it doesnt get stuck to your mouth)

if the problem is stress, organisation is useful. write all your things and worries down, highlight al that is urgent yellow, and important pink.

anything that ends up orange, do that first, ...then the yellow. anything left can go over to the next day and it should be fine, ...then you can stop worrying about having spent your time on the wrong stuff!.

let go of peoples opinions, do whats right and be content with your actions. you'll feel better.
