Anyone on anxiety meds??
Went off anxiety med
Effexor
before I found out about ckd. Been trying to stay off but don't think I can deal on a day to day basis. This stress has got to be worse for my body than the medication. Was wondering if others are on any kind of anxiety med and if it helps you?

Medications
I was just hospitalized and put on lamictal and
effexor
which gave me insomnia which increased my panic. lexapro also made me very angry and depressed non stop crying and very bad anxiety. I know i need to be on something.

Ckd and anxiety attacks
Was on Paxil for 6 years and many years on lowest dose of
Effexor
. I recently weaned myself off of
Effexor
about 2 months before knowing about ckd. This morning I had a major panic attack regarding ckd. It was terrible! I feel like I need to go back on meds but don't want to due to kidneys.

Does anyone have trouble sleeping?
I've had big anxiety issues since finding out about my ckd 3 about 2 months ago and trying to avoid going back on the anti anxiety med
Effexor
. I'm struggling with this but think that if I get better sleep it might help me cope a little better. Someone suggested a shot of cognac-lol

Another sleepless night
I was on
Effexor
for over a year. Three weeks ago I decided that I was finally going to get off the medication and went through hell with the withdrawls. The only lingering symptom is the night time panic attacks and anxiety. Feels like I'm up every night with this.

Intro
I was on
Effexor
for about a year after my daughter was born. Three weeks ago I cold turkey got off all antidepressants which was on of the hardest things I've ever done. The withdrawal symptoms are mostly gone other than at night I do have anxiety and panic attacks.

I'm new here...
A few bumps along the road later (Zoloft made me exhausted during the day, Wellbutrin made me suicidal, Paxil just plain didn't work), I settled into a small, yet robust cocktail of
Effexor
(37.5mg)/Celexa (20mg) which was working pretty well until December 2016, when I started to feel some of the symptoms

15+ year Panic disorder, now pregnant
I found success and life again a few years ago when I began taking
Effexor
XR with a PRN dose of 1mg of Ativan. On that combination, I was able to attend nursing school, get on a plane, drive over bridges, and conquer nearly all of my long held phobias.

Methotrexate Not Working. Next Step?
Hello. After being diagnosed a few months ago with RA, nothing has helped me feel any better. I've been on methotrexate for 4 months, cymbalta for 3 months, and lyrica for 2 weeks. Oxycodones help slightly, but only mask some of the pain. My last x-ray a couple months ago revealed bone damage, so I'm

Feeling restless/impulsive recently
I was on
Effexor
for a while and it helped with mood but causes more sleep and muscle jerk problems. I'm also upset cause of misunderstanding from my husband and he has his own mental health issues he's not getting help on. So it's very stressful.

Defeating Worry, Anxiety, and Depression
My OB/Gyn changed me to
Effexor
, which overstimulated my brain and made my worrying worse. I went to a Christian psychiatrist who has put me on a couple of SSRIs, but they didn't seem to work, so I asked her if she would put me back on Prozac, hoping it would work like before. Well, it didn't.

changing drs
I made a decision this week after suffering the deepest of deep depression that maybe it's time for me to get a second opinion and change my psychiatrist and possibly my medication and just see what it is that's happening because for 20 years I'm on the same medication 40 mg Prozac 300 mg
