Absolutely. I deal with a lot of anxiety. I started seeing a therapist a few weeks back. Just someone to talk things out with. I have low-dose anxiety meds but they don't seem to help at all.

And, stay away from alcohol as much as possible. Alcohol can excaberate anxiety.

I have severe anxiety disorder since 2010 and I have to deal with it, but it isn't easy in some cases.

I used to took anxiety medicine but made me sleepy and not option if I have go to school.

There are quite a few brands of anxiety meds. Maybe ask your doctor to try a different one. Mine didn't make me sleepy. Are or were you also taking sleep aids at the same time?
 
I have never gotten along with the anxiety pills so i just stopped taking them. It sucks when i do get the anxiety attacks.

Ugh, it does knock you out too.... every single kind.... :mad: I haven't found one that doesn't make you drowsy... Every person I've talked too with anxiety has told me the same results sadly... Zzzzzzzzz... :doh: Nothing you can do about it other than to just walk away and wait for it to pass, sadly. Some people have different tolerances to certain medications and it may not make them drowsy... but once it hits you like that, you usually know you're going to be "one of those" people... :laugh2: :doh: :(
 
I don't seem to get drowsy when I take anxiety meds (luckily I rarely need them). My anxiety usually hits in the morning, so that's when I take it.
Everyone reacts to meds in their own way.

:aw:Stein, that is a beautiful and precious picture, I'm so sorry....
 
:pissed: because I just got a ticket for uninspected vehicle. I hope it doesn't cost me a lot of money.
 
I've been feeling very tired this week.... Considering I've slept even longer than usual all week ( 8-10 hours a day ) it is very odd... Maybe I'll have a weekend inside and being lazy and just sleeping and lounging... No clue why I am so sleepy this week. :doh: :mad:
 
I feel happy with my new fish tank but i think my mom is way too excited she has bought A LOT of fish.
 
I got tired too because of the weather. It's very warm today and its making me sleepy. That's why I fell asleep so early.
 
Feeling bad today. My right foot is burning and swollen, and the toes keep cramping under. I want to go shoe shopping today but it might not be possible. I've been walking a mile or more each day but the pain is getting worse. I hope new walking shoes will help but I'm afraid it's just the Parkinson's getting worse. I'm very disappointed. I had hoped increasing exercise would help but I seem to be getting worse. Doctor already increased my med's dosage but that didn't help much. I thought I was supposed to have a few good years left but now I'm beginning to wonder. :(

I am sorry, Reba. It's possible you could get some orthotics to help , I hope.

I'm reallyy sorry Reba. I hope you can find some exercise shoes that will help. Maybe see if you can go to physical therapy. They might be able to help you come up with an exercise program to fit your medical condition. My medical condition makes exercise nearly impossible so I can understand how you are feeling.

I don't take sleep aids and I don't have insomnia.

I took Ativan (not work, sleepy), Klonopin (partially working, random sleepy, hurt my tummy), Valium (working and hurt my tummy) and Hydroxyzine (not working, extremely sleepy).

My grandmother has addiction problem with Xanax so the doctor refused to prescribe for me.
