Hi Babblers,
I have suffered from anxiety for the last 3 years. I want to know if I've tried everything. Here are the drugs I've tried and my reaction
* Klonopin, Atavin, Valium and Xanax don't do anything for me
* SSRI's (Lexapro, Zoloft, Effexor, Paxil, Cymbalta) feel good for a few days and then poop out. Then they cause intense anxiety, fear and paranoia. I don't respond well to Serotonin
* Buspar - worked for a few days and then pooped out.
* Remeron - horrific anxiety inducing nightmares
* Serzone - cause paranoia
* Lamictal - I'm on this currently and seems to help a little bit
* Neurontin - worked for a few days and then poop out. Each new dose would follow the same pattern
* Lyrica - felt 100% on this for 10 days and then it pooped out.
* Depakote - on this currently. Never has really done anything for me.
* Seroquel - akathisia
* Risperdal - didn't do anything
* Abilify - turned me into a zombie and didn't do anything for me
* Zyprexa - worked for 3 weeks and then pooped out. Made me fat and tired
* Geodon - worked for 3 weeks very well and then pooped out. I'm on this currently but don't know if this is doing anything.
The MAOI's affect serotonin so I think I would respond as poorly as I do with the SSRI's
Are there any other options to try for my anxiety? I specifically live with generalized anxiety, fear, apprehension and phobias.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Spencer
