Exactly .. I agree with you.. some doc.. first find a NEW doctor that will take the TIME to listen to you and not just drug u... sounds to me that you just need to chill and get a handle on your anxiety.
Try to calm your mind.. dont tell yourself that you cannot control your thoughts.. you can and you will. it just takes practice..
I did thesame thing and of course among other drugs i ended up on that damn Remeron.. anyways I got myself off of it . and used acupuncture as my aide.. and just alot of self determination.
I learned to pace myself more and reduce stress. Cognitive therapy helps alot if you havent tried this.. look into it.
I was rx drugs for wrong reasons i think and all i had to do was take control myself. I suffered alot of symptoms /side effects from these drugs. my anxiety levels hit the roof when on this stuff and it totally took away my reality and the ability to feel.. Now I am doing much better being OFF and i dealt with my health issues directly and stress levels directly.. I am totally off Remeron and I also got off ativan over 2yrs ago.. ON MY OWN plus acupuncture.. I feel better in myself knowing that I control my anxiety levels NOT the drug or the Anxiety controlling me.. Once you adopt this attitude you now have the power..Good luck

I agree, if this medications are so good then why are so many people wanting off them, and having bad experiences from them. When i went to the shrink, i was loosing my mind, i cant control my own thoughts, all i can think about are bad things, and sad things, i am in college and i have two kids, i needed something to calm me down. I just shake and cry all the time, i dont know how to get control anymore. After i told him, he put me on remeron, which has nothing to do with what symptoms i have. My brain does not need to be chemically and pemenanatly altered because i feel overstressed, i have to much on my mind, and to much to do and to little time. A brain altering drug should not be the first thing given. It looks like they would start you out on something mild and safe, just for control of anxiety, i do not need this crazy new synthetic drug, then when i told them it was killing me he said to keep taking it and i would get used to it eventually. That does not sound like a good doctor to me, he definately was not trying to help me, it seems that he was trying to kill me. Giving someone this drug that does not need it is not healthy, and i am appolled that he did it. I just dont know what to do i am so mad, i beleive that i will have to go to a new doctor.
