Have taken fluoxetine for that and depression but that had little effect. Am currently trying Citalopram. I also use Propranolol (a beta blocker) for short term relief over exams or whatever.

Ocd and Panic attacks! I have had them for years. When I was in first grade I hyperventilated because I was worried that I would miss the bus... everyday.

Severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Bipolar Disorder. For anxiety I take clonazepam (Klonopin) and it works well when I don't have a massive tolerance to it. So I have to take breaks in using it so it will still work. SSRI's did nothing.

 I suffer from extreme anxiety, but that is a result of a learning difficulty and not because I have an anxiety disorder.

Hey!
Welcome to LW :]
I'm sure there's several people on this board who know a lot about Anxiety disorders and have been through or still go through them on a daily basis. Yup, I have had a past of extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Right now, I'm less anxious than I have been in my whole life, and it's a pretty good feeling... even though the anxiety is still there. No, none of the medication worked for me. But I did some biofeedback therapy for awhile which helped me focus on what triggered my panic attacks and anxious feelings. It really helped me a lot. Plus, I did a lot of regular talk therapy with a counselor, and she helped me practice some serious phobias I had. I don't really know if there's anything that can make that scared, worried feeling go away forever. But things can get better! So good luck. :] Post edited at 8:05 am on Sep. 21, 2008 by Disposition
