My daughter was diagnosed with GAD last November and was prescribed fluoxetine. That together with counselling/ therapy has worked for her. She is now off the medication and no longer attends therapy. She still gets anxious but she can control it better. Hope you feel better soon.
Oh lord yes. Its awful. I Breathe through it thats all i can do. Dr's took away the only med that worked. Unbelievable. Take care
Yes, celexa is helping. There are lots of other meds, too. Sometimes it takes time to find the right med and dose for u, as everyone is different.
I get it real bad during my flares and I’m a shaking anxious mess for most the day which also makes me have less patience with my two kids. I usually take Valium on those days. I don’t like taking a daily anti anxiety med so I found this works best on my bad days.
I have chronic anxiety - benzodiazepines help but only mask it - try relaxation techniques - I know it’s hell
