In reply to New meds needed for anxiety - advice please, posted by garnet71 on April 1, 2009, at 9:52:12
I've never tried anticonvsulants, TCAs or MAOIs - or anything else, but don't think I want to> I don't think I can handle months or years of trials of meds right now because my whole life will fall apart.
Since SSRIs always correct my anxiety w/in a few days, I wonder if its worth trying Laxapro or Celexa again since its been so many years. I quit taking them when they made me so lethargic, I couldn't function at all. I think I waited the 4-6 weeks too, but am not sure. That was long ago.
Does Lexapro or Celexa affect different H receptors or their precursors much different than Zoloft/Prozac? I"m not sure if I want to try Paxil.
I am considering St. Johns Wort-but my PDocRN said not to take it w/o going back there first, and she doesn't really think I should try it, my next appt. is not for about another month.
Or Effexor..I don't know what to do. I hope I can sse the doctor next time I go. He works mostly out of a hospital, so he's only there once a week.
