I am sure that this question has been asked a million times before - I imagine that anxiety and depression are very common conditions. I have to say that I have never been to see a professional, but I do know that I suffer from anxiety and depression for sure. Now, I am contemplating taking the step to get professional help - finally... What drugs do you think I should ask for for my anxiety and depression?
I don't think it works that way. It is not as if you call up a family doctor or a shrink and just say, "Can I have some drugs please?" - you will have to go through a serious diagnostic process. You may think you have anxiety and depression, but perhaps there are other issues you are not aware of. Once you have an official diagnosis, your doctor will find it easier to match you with the right medication for you, if you need any meds at all. Often therapy is enough.
For years I suffered from pts disorder and it was ruining my life. I saw a doctor for many years and now I'm taking diazapam and effexor. This may not be the drug for you but it helps me and I feel I have my life back. I feel for anyone that has some kind of anxiety or panic disorder because it almost cost me my life. Keep trying. Medications are out there to help people and all of us are not the same. You will find the right one OK? Good luck love!
Honestly.. It's all trial and error if the Dr gives you some meds and they work good for you.. If they don't go back and get a new prescription until you get the right ones..
