Mitzapine citrapram or floxetine????

Wat works best for anxiety ?????

[Sasical]

For me Mirtazapine, the others made my anxiety worse. But it really is a matter of "taste". Others don't like Mirt whereas I cannot tolerate citalopram

I've been on them all, you name them I've been on them.... Citalopram 40mg for 4 years helped me but I have fluctuating mood swings, panic attacks, social anxiety, suspected bipolar type 2 and adhd I'm 33. I've just tried venlafaxine and they made things 100 times worse. Now I'm on escitalopram and feel better but still have anxiety and fever of going out, manic episodes. My life's a nightmare. Diazipam work but doctors are reluctant to just give them out. Propranolol are brilliant I'm just not allowed them due to asthma.

Living with anxiety, depression is hell

I'm suffering with sever headaches. The venlafaxine was a horrible experience I had all the side effects and jesus I was bad on them. Doctors now put me on escitalopram which is stronger than citalopram but I've had shot loads of stress on over the past week.

It's all trial and error with antidepressants. But try the propranolol and there's also a propranolol that's a long release.

I just need to no if I've got bipolar, personality disorders, adhd the list goes on and so has the years 😢 mental health is bad bad bad and it's not a quick process

Why brain damage???

[Madmin1]

Try propanonol I’ve been on these since 2008 always get a good nights sleep too just take one capsule per day, also widely used for blood pressure so safe to use

[Hidden in reply to Madmin1]

Yeah but I need help with my anxiety and dizziness and generally feel on edge

I really want to check my b12 as this effects so many anxiety disorders

Hi Tyson1-3, I tried Venlafaxine once it worked well bringing me out a complete shut down in my life about 18 years ago. I asked to come off it after one year or so as the side effects for me were too strong. It did the job for that but I went to Citalopram 20mg then upped it each time I suffered a panic/ stress attack. Ended up on 30mg and after 10 years of the stuff thinking that it was amazing I decided that after being a complete novice in suffering a mental health condition and no real diagnosis confirmed by a G.P and years of crumbling into an anxious heap every 6 months I asked a G.P how hard it was to change to a different medication. The G.P agreed that the Citalopram was not effective for me and explained how I could change. I was slowly weaned off the Citalopram and once on my last lowest dose I started my new one called Sertraline gradually increasing it to the equired dose as instructed. I know now his silly I was not to have fone this before as Sertraline works for me on a dose of 150mg. I still have moments where I have good and bad days but I can say hand on heart they are mostly good. No more panic or anxiety attacks. I have learned to accept my illness whatever it is be it major depressive disorder or bipolar maybe. I try not to let my stress levels get too high as I think this is a major factor in how my brain switches from one mood to another. I talk about it openly to friends and work colleagues and help advise others on their issues with mental health. I am now 41 years old and think I am slowly starting to understand how my brain does and doesn't like to function. I am always learning.

So for me its Sertraline atm! X
