Is he on any medication? Perhaps he should be,or it neeRAB to be adjusted. His symptoms don't really sound GAD though.GAD is much more constant worrying over things.Not getting angry over little things.Then again,maybe that is just how he expresses his worry.

It can help for some people.However,one of the possible side effects is dizziness.So it varies from person to person. It's a very calming drug though,so it will definitely help if you are having anxiety.

Sorry,I'm not really familiar with beta blockers.But I think going off of anything you have been on for such a long time may have this sort of effect until you adjust to being without it. I feel the same way when I come off of antidepressants. I feel like I just can't cope and I just don't want...

It is nothing to be ashamed of,but some people can make you feel bad about it. I have had social anxiety for as long as I can remeraber. Particularly painstaking as a teenager. Once a little older, I started using alcohol as a crutch in social situations because it made me open up and become...

Hi there.My last blood test also showed high eosinophilia. (It was flagged on the test) However my doctor never mentioned it or showed any concern over it. I was reading it could be allergies,infection or parasite. The parasite was kinda what worried me,cuz how would you know if you had a...

115 an hour? Ouch.Well,I don't know how much money you make,but sometimes you can find therapy that goes by a sliding scale,depending on your income.It depenRAB on the state,some have more resources then others.Most do have a mental health department that can assist you,you want to try there...

Hi there;) I never had diarrhea, but loose stools can be a temporary side effect I think. I definitely had feeling sleepy!!The first day I took it I noticed I could not stop yawning.It got better after a while,but I generally felt a little sleepy on it most of the time. Not really sure what you...

Wow,I have felt every single thing you said! I have always had "social anxiety" so I assumed that was why I hated public places like shopping. I used to feel that I was being too paranoid,but honestly my beliefs have changed.The world can be a dangerous place.Especially being a female alone...

I have a phobia with phones too.For me it stems from when I was little my mom always used to force me to call people when I didn't want to.(She STILL tries to do it and I'm 33!) I find it helps if I write down what it is I need to talk about.That way I'm not stuttering or forgetting what I have...

No,50 is a low dose.It's just some people get over stimulation with increases.I started on 50 and it was too much and had to go down to 25.

Past,that definitely sounRAB like anxiety,and talking to someone about it may really help you a lot.I don't know how you feel about medication.It's not a cure all,but constant worrying can really dampen your life,and certain medications can help with that. I use to tell myself that these...

No problem.:)

First,kudos on quitting drugs.SounRAB like you had some pretty hard times as a teen. I think drug use can really mess up your body's chemical balance.Even though you've been off of them for many years. This could be why you developed such bad anxiety suddenly and avoided social situations.An...

Hey.I noticed my blood pressure went up some too when I started on Synthroid.(although not enough to be considered high,just higher then what was normal for me).I think the reason is,is that when you are Hypothyroid,your blood pressure actually goes down some.Then the Synthroid puts you back...
