Very sensitive to anxiety medicines

[Ellen76]

Does anyone here have a problem with taking anxiety medicine because they metabolize it so slow ? It's making me loose hope that there's a right medicine for me!!!

Hi,

I am new here, but I have had anxiety for a long time. I am not sure what you experience on medications or which ones you are taking. I am very sensitive too all meds. The only way I could get on an antidepressant was to take the lowest dose possible and work my way up. I do not know if that is your problem, but never lose hope

Hi, I'm very sensitive to all meds too, they almost always mess my stomach up really bad, so its almost impossible to get out of the house and get my mind off of things cause I'm stuck in with a stomach ache. So I take really lose doses for a while too, Like cut the pill in half, or dump out part of the capsule.

It's very common for anxiety to get worse when meds are started; battling through the initial period will hopefully get to where you will see improvement.
