I had gone to a woman Internist who prescribed Ativan instead of Xanax, but Ativan is just as addictive. For many reasons, I don't see her anymore. In my experience, most male Drs. are more understanding about anxiety than women Drs. :dizzy:

Do you have trouble swallowing pills? You can put a Xanax under your tongue instead.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Nurabness could be a side effect from a medication or it could have to do with your neck too. Maybe the Chiropractor's adjustment caused the nurabness. If it doesn't go away, see your Dr. to set your mind at ease. I've had problems with pain in...

Have you had your thyroid tested? I started experiencing hair loss in my 30's. My Dr. said it was hormonal and my mother had hair loss too, but she wasn't as young as me when it started. In my case, it was caused by too much Testosterone used to treat a skin disorder. I hope you find out...

I take Lexapro for anxiety and Atenolol for high blood pressure. I've never tried Buspar.

I did gain it on the 20 mgs. The 10 mgs. is better for me because I'm not so tired now and I don't feel depressed. I hope you don't get weight on it. Another things I"m doing is going to Acupuncture and he's putting needles in my ear which is supposed to lessen my appetite. I woke up early...

I started taking 10 mgs. of Lexapro for anxiety about 3 weeks ago and it's helped my anxiety a lot. One thing I'm not happy about is that so many people have said they gained a lot of weight from it. It also causes drowsiness, but that's easing up some for me. I'm happy to not be anxious all...

I've been taking 10 mg. of Lexapro since January and have always taken it at bedtime. I suppose it's possible for it to cause more anxiety when you switch from am to pm. Some days I think it works great for my anxiety and other days not so much. Have you gained any weight from it? Will your...

Hi. I can relate about taking the meRAB. and gaining weight. Lexapro made me gain weight. I've read conflicting information about various anti-depressants and weight gain. I look like I'm pregnant now and it's hard to find nice clothes when you have to buy a size 16 or bigger. My Dr. told me...

Xanax works the best for me, but I take such a small dose; 0.25 mgs. before bed and that same dose once in awhile during the day. It's the same dose I've been taking for several years. In January, I started taking Lexapro for GAD. I'm now taking 20 mgs. and it's working pretty well for my...

Have you guys tried taking muscle relaxers? Flexeril helps me a lot. I used to have terrible headaches everyday and didn't know what was causing them. I was finally diagnosed with TMJ and muscle relaxers help so much. Hoped you find some relief.

Lexapro made me very tired also. I took it at 10 pm. Maybe you could try taking it in the afternoon? I don't know what else to suggest. Every anti-depressant I've tried has made me so tired. I take Prozac now and I feel like crap if I don't get enough sleep.

I got a RX for Prozac today I was gaining weight on Lexapro. The weight gain is making me depressed. My Dr. told me that Prozac would help me lose weight, but I've read conflicting info. Can anyone who's taking Prozac tell me how they're doing on it? Thanks. :confused:

Low dose Xanax works well and fast for me. I don't get any side effects from it.

I understand. We went to Vegas for a couple of days and on the last day I was nervous about flying and had to use the public bathroom a million times so I wouldn't have to use the bathroom on the plane. It was a awful. I don't like to travel anymore. I also look to see where the bathrooms...

There are 2 surgeons I've heard about at USC Hospital in Los Angeles that are supposed to be excellent. I can't think of their names offhand, but you could do a search online and find them.

People can get acid reflux from any food or beverage. Why don't you avoid the oatmeal if it does that to you?

I take my 2nd Prilosec at 4 pm.

I took Pepcid AC til it stopped working for me. It's been quite awhile, but I think I took 20 mgs. before each meal and at bedtime.

I'm sorry that none of the meRAB. or lifestyle changes have helped you. I had a Nissen about 10 years ago, but I only had relief for 2 months. I had horrible side effects from the meRAB. that I had tried before the surgery. The surgery has worked for others though. My suggestion is to find...
