Is there actually any hope for me?

[donna80]

I suffer with severe anxiety manily to do with my health and sanity!!

Ive tryed ssri's which seem to make me panick more more anxious like im on speed raises my heart rate and blood pressure also! (havent tryed them for 4 years)

Then:
dothiapin and trazadone gave me severe palpitations

Effexor made me like i was speed i was sooo anxious it was unbearable

I did have a good time on mirtazipine (zispin, remeron) though i was on hat for 2 years but then i started hallucinating and feeling very depressed and had to stop cold turkey? i then went through a year of hell!! brain zaps etc urghh (that was 3 years ago)

Then theres the benzo's WELL they dont calm me at all, my mind fights them, i do not like to feel out of control, i end up having major anxiety when i take them ?

Im so desperate my anxiety is ruining my life!! What can i try next?

Also have another question, what brain chemicals did remeron affect? wonder if i should find another drug hat does the same thing? maybe herbal?

up for anything... (I think)

thanks

I have been taking vit. bcomplex with folic acid as prescribed by my OB, who said alot of women get this way (i don't know how old you are) in their late 30's to 40's- i am 42 and started w/this really nervous/shaky internal feeling, but externally i looked like nothing was wrong...  I take it twice a day sometimes and if i really have a problem, i do have a low dos (.25mg) of xanax that i take on an as needed basis.  I also do deep belly breathing and try like heck to focus on anything but my symptoms.

I liked zoloft that was the bestfor calming me  but the doctor took me off it bcause of fast heart rate!! I think i was on the lowest dose... what dose do you take?

I have alot of books cbt for dummies, the linden method but my anxiety is so high i am just unable o concentrate on them! :-( And klon is not pescribed here in the uk.... well where i am anyway..

Have you tried klonopin?  This is a drug made to specifically treat long-term anxiety and many people on this site have had great success with it.
