Thanks GG! I am glad you have found something that works for your anxiety..that is great! I know benzos are typically used for short ter, because of the addictive properties..especially Xanax. But I...
Thanks Georgie Girl! I am sorry for your anxiety. Hope you find something that works. I just know xanax has helped me for 13 and half years. But no med is a wonder drug though..I am sure you know...
Thank you Lyn! I was just curious about it. never heard of it. My 4mg a day of Xanax works fine for me..though with Bipolar...the stress gets to me and meds are not a CURE ALL for anxiety. Xanax has...
This is an anti anxiety med. Anyone ever take it? Any bad symptoms?...
Thanks so much Georgie Girl! Well...the Abilify is making me out of still at only 5mg so it is not worth it. I will try Geodon. Only because that was my third choice with the least amount of side...
BP Gemini-Thank you for all that info. I have been there! We all have. I will continue to pray for you and all of you. Sukay-Thank you so much for the info on Geodon. Olivia-Thank you so much as well...
Thank you so much for all the info Kitt!!! That was so kind of you and very much appreciated. Well..at least 4 out of 5 of those symptoms for acute mania are right up my alley so I hope if the Abiliy...
Thank you so much fats1toochase! That means alot! Well..I went back down to 5mg but I am sure there is still some more left in my system from 10mg a day ago as Abilify stays in the system for 72...
Hi everyone. Just was wondering if Geodon is better than Lamictal for stress and anxiety and the mania aspect of things. I was told and I believe a moderator on here said that Lamictal is for...
Thanks so much everyone that has responded to me since my last post. It means so much. As for how I am doing? I am going down to 5mg of Abilify because I just took a 180 turn Friday. Everything is...
Thanks again Lyn. Been looking over threads on Abilify. Though I have done hours of rsearch on Abilify from Google. But it really comes down to trial and error with some knowledge for good choices. I...
Thanks so much Maz. I see you take 4mg a day of Xanax like I do. Sure does work doesn't it. I have been on it for 13 and half years. Diagnosed with anxiety at 16. Though I personally started noticing...
Thank you so much Lyn and Sam. Your wrods mean so much to me.Thank you. I am here for all of you too. Yes..I am on the bipolar board as well. Yes..I will discuss things with the doc on Friday. I am...
Thank you Serafena and Olivia! That was so much appreciated. Yes..13 years on Xanax is the ONLY benzo that has stabalized me for the most part with no side effects at all. The Effexor doesn't really...
I am Steelerfan. Great to be here. Hope you all can help me and I can do the same. I take Abilify 10 mg a day for bipolar 1. Is it good for stress and anxiety? My doctor says it does. I have been on...
Wow. Did not know it causes hair loss..but my brother takes it and his hair is real thin..so go figure. Depakote just made me have too much brain fog. Good for many though....
Hi ZolsCody! I feel for you so much. I don't get head twitches but pressure behind the neck. I am sure it is stress. With or without meds I can get it. My hands shake when anxious and stessed. I...
Yankeepeaches, Everyone on here wants to be helped and liked. Everyone is here for you. Some are just shy to respond before they get to know people....
Neurontin is the worst med I have ever taken. I hope it works for others. It just made me out of it! Valium I have tried. Too overmedicated with it along with Xanax so I went back on the 4mg of Xanax...
Serafena is so right. People do throw that Bipolar term around alot when there is no actual test so see if you have a chemical imbalance. A brain MRI will not tell you how much...
Sorry for posting this again. I just started taking Abilify two weeks ago today. 10mg at bedtime. Does it help with anxiety and stress real well. My doctor says it does. I already take 1mg of Xanax 4...
Hi Yankeepeaches. Sorry about that episode. We all don't need that. He's a professional..so he shouldn't have acted like that. I would go with him if it easy to get your meds and it is close by. I...
Does help people lose weight....but in California I believe they nickname it "Stupamax". I believe because of the brain fog aspect of it. I am not real sure though....
I don't know the dosage range..but if it is not giving you side effects..especially weight gain or feeling out of it..I would use it. It has been around a long time....
Hello. I really feel for you. I personally believe nobody should ever have to be on TWO medications at the most. Unless one has been diagnosed with 5-6 disorders..maybe. Lamictal does not make you...
