I have severe anxiety, and the dr. I'm currently seeing has put me on a few meds, such as Effexor, celexa and for one month gave me lorazepam.
He took me off the Lorazepam after a month, gave it back to me two months later, and look me off of it again.
I ended up in the Er, after using Celexa, and Effexor ( @ different times ) , b/c I ended up having worse panic/anxiety attacks.
Each time I was told from seperate Dr's, that these meds can only make it worse. . ( I must mention I've had severe anxiety for about 7 yrs, and just when a dr. gets the combination figured out this happens ( with a seperate dr putting me on this or that, things I've already tried - we are a newly retired military cpl, so I've seen my fair share of Drs.)
My question is, is that infact true ( the two meds (Effexor, and Celexa) aren't good for anxiety ? ) , and what is a good combination of medications I can try ? I'm tried of this happening, and wish it would get figured out .....
