Hi all
Does anyone have any experiences/suggestions for anti anxiety meds?
I am not depressed but am fed up with anxiety and all the symptoms it brings.
I have managed to get an appointment with GP in a couple of weeks and would like to hear about others experiences good or bad.
Many thanks
Sue
Hi sue.
I take benedryl for my anxiety. Had bad experience when on vanlafexine and Prozac
A few years ago so won't go back on any perscription drug again too scared.
I started on cetrizine benedryl but after a while started to experience dizziness which can be a
Side effect, so changed to another type of benedryl and been ok up to now on that one
And been on that for ages now.. also the good thing about this particular one is you can take
3 a day if you need to. I've only ever needed up to 2 on a bad day,they seem to work good for me.
Also I tend to get a good nights sleep with them too, Not every night but most nights.
Like I say, I won't go back on perscription drugs..The other thing is with the cetrizine ones
I only had to take half a tablet at night because they made me too tired in the day so half a one was enough. But sadly had to change because of the dizziness.
Hope this helps..
