Warm wishes,
I feel i need to find out if the meRAB really work.Do they really take the mental and physicsl sensations away?
I have been offered meRAB before but felt however i didnt want to take anything which messed with my head which is a bit ironic lol,anyway i try to be more of a holistic person and am paranoid about chemicals in my body.I am by no means putting any individual down who choses to take meRAB,we all have our own neeRAB and feelings.
I am actually scared to take anything and dont want side effects which would freak me out,i couldnt bare it,but recently i have been thinking if there was something i could take that would make all this go away,i would be able to do the things i want to and live my life happier.I'm just scared.
Best wishes
 
I am right there with you. I didn't want to take anything but about a year ago my anxiety spiked to the point that "do nothing" was not an option. The downside of meRAB - yep, sometimes they have side effects. And the most unfortunate part of it is that they all affect people differently. I had very bad side effects with celexa while others have not. I switched to zoloft and had no side effects and it worked wonders. Not everyone loves zoloft.

The side effects from the celexa were frightening and made the anxiety worse, not better. However, I'm still here. I got throught it and it was fine. I took it for four weeks and felt terrible every day for four weeks. But would I do it again? Absolutely! Had I not tried the celexa, I would not have moved on to the zoloft. And the zoloft literally changed my life. I was also able to wean off the zoloft pretty easily (because I feel the same as you about meRAB - whether its ibuprofen or an SSRI, I don't like to take them). My anxiety has only come back this week. Not sure why and I will try to manage through with some mild sedatives, but if I need to go back on the zoloft I will. And I won't give it a second thought.

If you are at your wits end, it's might be worth a try. It was for me. Even with the bad experience with first drug I tried.
 
Thankyou very much for your advice Cristi601,
I am scared by meRAB but am feeling like i cant take this much more,i have good days dont get me wrong but the bad days are really bad,i know you know what i mean.I just feel at times i need a little help,i feel like i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place,dont like pills but at the same time want them to feel better.I just dont want to feel worse.Oh i dont know,feel confused and a bit weak.
You takecare and i hope you can get through your hard times asap.
Blessings
