What's the best medication for Anxiety and panic attacks?
>>28396273
Cognitive behavioral therapy, breathing techniques, a strong desire to change, and a willingness to force yourself into uncomfortable situations. You must never give up or admit defeat, you are your own worst enemy so take control.

They'd prescribe you antidepressants and benzos. I haven't had much luck with either myself, but I'd argue the benzo dose I was prescribed was too low. On the other hand, the higher the dosage of benzo you take the more likely you are to fuck up from the brain fog and the effects on your coordination it causes, (e.g. being off-balance) and if fucking up is what causes the anxiety it can actually make it worse in the long run. Antidepressants can cause similar problems due the dissociation they can cause. These are only my personal experiences, though. They work different for everyone.

See a psychiatrist, depending on several things the most effective medication will differ.

No ones giving you a legit answer so I will. Xanax is good in that regard but be careful, it's pretty addictive and withdrawal can kill you.

I fucking hate CBT so damn much. It's literally the practice of lying to yourself over and over again until you start to think the lies are true. How anyone with a shred of self awareness can fall for that garbage is beyond me.

depression can override anxiety if it gets bad enough
just a tip
Benzos but they're not really worth it in the long run (withdrawals, dependence, tolerance buildup.) I heard phenelzine, a MAIO (type of antidepressant) is also really good against anxiety, but its hard to get prescribed and has a ton of bad side effects (e.g. can't eat a shitload of foods or you could die)

Benzos work wonders for anxiety, but they're addictive as hell and one of the only drugs where the withdrawals can outright kill you.
Benzos do nothing for me but make me sleepy and uncoordinated. Must be my brain chemistry., but they do nothing for my anxiety. I've found antidepressants over time do the best job, but there's nothing for acute onset anxiety aside from booze that works for me

>not being about to perfect your defects ranging from depression to generalized anxiety disorder
Have fun with your insecurities and crippling fears.

this!
im not kidding.
benzos help against fear, but they make addicted and your body build a tolerance.
with the right antidepressants you dont have anxiety any more.
but once your fears are gone you will recognize that fears are only a part of the miserable problems in life.
your body will build up a tolerance against beeing happy,
god hates us

I was on phenelzine and it didn't help unless I took 90mg, and then I couldn't piss so I had to drop the dose back down and lost the positive effects
Who /lexapro/ here?

Mirtazapine 60 mg + wellbutrin 300 mg
will help you.
the withdrawals:
mirtazapine makes you tired in the morning,
wellbutrin makes you easier getting angry

Some Nyquil always did the trick when I was in high school. One dosage or two whenever I felt anxious; felt nice and relaxed afterwards. Didn't need to waste my time with some psychotherapist and their experimental drugs anymore.

You have to power through the drowsyness and lethargy. It goes away after awhile and after you get used to getting through it you don't even notice it anymore.

i did something very similar. I would take 1-2 Tylenol PM's and it would do the trick for me. it really helped for job interviews.

Stare at a clock (one with hands), counting how long you can breathe in and out for, gradually try to increase this time as you progress
e.g
>Inhale: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (in head)
>Exhale: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (in head)
>When you realize everyone can tell you're having a panic attack and thinks you're a crazy retard
They know...:(
