i hear alot about it's effectiveness for depression, but what about anxiety?
I need something and soon, because it seems I'm not able to handle stressors anymore, and anxiety is going up but I don't have very much Xanax at this point (they gave me .25 mg a day for 30 days which DOES NOT work when I get escalating anxiety like this). I don't have $300 to pay the new PDoc, and am about to make a decision to 1) buy St. Johns Wort today; or, 2) call old PDoc and get samples of Pristiq. I don't want to take Klonopin for the cognitve effects, thought that might be the best drug for me now in terms of my current symptoms.
I'm not sure what to do..feeling really stressed out right now/life hanging by a thread--this is not good. Im scared to take the Pristiq because of fatigue with my courseload and everything else. Can you augment Dextroamphetamine with Pristiq?
Or this could be PMS related-I'm not sure yet, but will find that out soon! lol
Or could I be getting anxiety from not taking Dextroamphetamine for 3 days? Does that make sense? Is that a withdrawal effect since anxiety symptoms coincided with not taking it? I tend to think it's more environmental these days and that the anxiety w/stopping the dexro is just a coincidence.
