Do you have general anxiety disorder or panic attacks? Different meds work for different problems. I have Xanax for the (increasingly) rare occasions when I feel a panic attack coming on. Since starting Zoloft about 1.5 years ago, I’ve hardly needed the Xanax at all (like, didn’t even go through a 30 qty fill in the last 2 years, of pandemic parenting 2 toddlers, which is quite a feat!). Exercise also helps.
Yeah exercise helps and that’s really annoying for those of us that are like “what? Running around for 30 minutes and not doing anything else helps? That can’t be true” but alas… it really helps
Anxiety meds have changed my life. If you feel the need to ask, it's worth talking to your physician about a trial run. I'm on Lexapro, if that's helpful. It's an antidepressant but my doc gave it to me for anxiety. It's so subtle a change, but it makes all the difference for me. It allows me to better gage what is truly a crisis or problem vs. a potential problem or just an irritation.
Prozac made me feel the best I’ve ever felt mentally but I also gained 20 lbs in 3 months so I had to quit
I’m on Wellbutrin. I tried Prozac, Zoloft, lexapro, and hated the zombie feeling so much that I would just stop taking them. Wellbutrin is commonly used for smoking cessation and SAD, but my doctor decided to try it since I have a shaky history with SSRIs and I’m so glad. I have general anxiety disorder and there have been times in my life that I was having major physical side effects (frequent vomiting, almost constant elevated heart rate, etc). Medication has been a huge help, it’s definitely worth talking to your doctor.
Wellbutrin- no weight gain and many of the negative side effects from other anxiety/depression meds are not there. I take it with adderall and it helps.
