Most common side effect: giving you more of what the hell yours trying to be rid of. Maybe some natural remedies instead of getting your hormones and brain juices all frazzled would be more beneficial?
I have GAD, BIPOLAR, ADHD, and Panic Attack Disorder. I know the struggle. Keep fighting, it takes time but it'll get better.
I feel your pain. I live with anxiety too and it's so crippling :/ But I had to giggle at this because this Reminds me of when i went on antidepressants for my anxiety and a side effect was "increases suicidal thoughts' ../ like thanks doc lol. Good luck xx
Well, you should take anti-anxiety medication not anti depressants. I have depression and anxiety and I had to stop my medication for depression because I would have frequent panic attacks. My friend takes anti-anxiety pills and they work really well for her
I thought antidepressants were supposed to increase your blood flow and heart rate. Antidepressants are not intended for anxiety, so it would obviously make it worse. Try a depressant, not alcohol, but some medication that lowers you blood pressure.
That's the fun with anti depressants it's all trial an error to find the right one but I do understand had the same problem

Hey, no worries, there's always other options. Also, consult your doctor, he or she could help too. :)
There are meds that are specifically anti-anxiety (like Ativan). They are usually taken in combination with an SSRI (anti-depressant). I'm not a doctor or pharmacist, so I can't speak to what each med does or how they're different, but there are meds specifically for anxiety. I have generalized anxiety and have taken various combos of both over the years, which is the basis of my (admittedly weak) knowledge.
