What works and isn't too dangerous. Ativan is already out for me. I took a Xanax tonight and feel more normal than I have in a year. Is Prozac the safest?

Seriously....What works? I can't live like this anymore. Woke up this morning and the anxiety driving the ocd is back.

Idk but xananx caused the worst rebound anxiety once it wore off. Twice as bad as it was for the intended reason I took it.

Lithium - low dose prescription or supplement lithium Orotate Zeolite to bind ammonia Neurotransmitter test by Pharmasan to determine which neurotransmitters need help (I.e. Serotonin, norepinephrine, etc.)

nothing worked for my excpet treatment for the tick diseases. herbals mostly. but abx did help a lot. I had anxiety- talking severe panic attack kind like a heart attack- and on abx it got lowered to like a 9 out of 10 instead of the 10,0000 level I was before tx.
now I am like a fluctuating 0-7 depending on the day.
the only thing that got me through the worst times was talking to Jesus and heavenly bodies asking for strength. that is only reason I wasn't hospitalized for sure.
I hope you find somehting that works for you. I feel your pain, really. terrible thing. I used to think everyone I knew would die every minute of the day. it was hell.

Maybe try intermittent water fasting? That will over time restore your body's detox mechanism.
Anxiety seems to be a result of toxins, produced by the bugs, either lyme&co or the bad bugs in the gut.
So get rid of the toxins, get rid of the anxiety.

Zoloft should work. Take Xanax for the first few weeks until the Zoloft kicks in.

I`ve tried everything with no luck. Currently trying Brintellix. No Anti-anxiety drug has worked yet.

I take citalopram 30mg and this takes the edge of the anxiety quite good without to many side effects.

I take valium several times a week. I tried not to get on it since I've read it is addictive and can be hard to stop.
But along with advil it has been helping with my migraines, and also helps me feel relaxed (a state I'm rarely in these days)
I tried so many other things, just going with what has actually helped me

That is kind of where I am dogmom2. I have to find something so I can function some what normally.
The fear is so bad I can't move some times. I just lay in bed terrified of nothing.
It is so weird. If it comes down to Xanax I'll take it, but the withdrawl sounds dangerous.
Thanks for the input everyone. If the Prozac works ill follow up. Typically it all makes me worse so I'm a little nervous.

there is a testing lab called Genomind. They test your genes for which antidepressant works best for your genes. AND insurance covers it, go figure. Your doctor does have to have an account with them though.
