In reply to Any other recommendations for Anxiety?, posted by displaced9 on August 3, 2011, at 14:41:06
> I am currently taking Wellbutrin 450mg SR, Cymbalta 60mg, and BuSpar 15 mg 3x/day. I am diagnosed with dysthymia and generalized anxiety disorder w/ panic attacks.

> The dysthymia is pretty much under control but nothing seems to help with my anxiety since I stopped taking Lexapro. I had to stop Lexapro because of weight gain. I also tried Seroquel but it too caused weight gain.
>
> I take Klonopin 1mg twice daily if needed, but I build a tolerance quickly and it starts to not work unless I increase the dosage.
>
> I am also taking L-Theanine (Theanine Serene brand), New Chapter's Perfect Calm multivitamin and have tried Natural Calm magnesium supplement as well.
>
> Even strong Kava teas and "Relaxation" teas - Nothing works.
>
> My anxiety mostly turns into severe muscle tension which causes a lot of pain. I also get panic/anxiety attacks occasionally, and find it difficult to fall asleep sometimes due to the anxiety / tension in my muscles.
>
> Anyone have any other suggestions? BuSpar doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. I have been on 15mg daily, 30mg daily and now 45mg daily. Tried going up on Cymbalta to 90mg but it gave me tremors.

You wrote,[...nothing seems to help with...anyone have any other suggestions?...].
I see that you could be at a crossroad. I know of two ways, either by human achievemeent or by divine accomplishment.
There are numerous types of advice that you could get from others here to take this drug or that drug etc. And if you are looking for a drug from others, if the drug works for them, will that mean you will have the same reaction?
Then there is the possibility of death from the drug. Do you want to take that risk? Then there is the possibilty of getting a life-ruinnig condition from the drug, and the possibility of suicide. Do you want to take that risk?
Do you know that about 40,000 people died last year from psychotropic drugs as per one way or another? And how about the possibility of liver failure? Do you want to continue to roll the dice?
My friend, you have a choice now. If there was a way for you to have a new life so that all those things that you have will pass away, would you take that risk to be a new person by seeing how that could happen?
If so, accept this opportunity to become a whole new person. To do this;
A. I would like to have active dialog here with me
B. Something each day to take, will be included.
C. If you read about a Rider on a White Horse from me, the Rider is not Christiandom's Jesus.
D. This will come from a Jewish perspective from me.
E. birds
F. redacted by respondent
If you want to try to overcome your condition by human achievement only, then reject this opportunity now. But if you do want a whole new life, accept this opportunity to hear how you could become a whole new creature.
