hi, im a university student, ive been suffering from gad for over a year, ive recently been aking Valerian Root Capsules, which seems to help alot, I was wondering if Buspirone, would be a good choice to combine with the Valerian, or whether anithistimine would be any use? thanks doc

[DOCTOROFMINDMD]

@george05032010 well both buspirone and antihistamine are not benzodiazepines so it may be worth a try. I dont combine herbals and prescription in most cases it should be one or the other so going from valerian root to valium is a big jump and the others you mentioned can be effective for some people and are not benzos good question thanks , mark

What about propranolol (a B blocker) for stage-fright?

[DOCTOROFMINDMD]

@eugenionescu yes i forgot to mention antiadrenergic agents but technically they are still cardiac not psych meds, i like propranolol, once i made a famous vid on it...

Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine rock for anxiety and are not addicting like clonazepam or xanax, nice video.

Clonidine also is good for ME. I take low dose dextro amphetamine (for ADD) and clonidine offsets the jittery anxiety of stimulants. Those medications I mentioned also work for benzo/opiate withdrawal.

What medication should I proceed to? addicted to clonazepam, ativan and oxazepam(benzodiazepenes in general). So I was forced off of them by my psychiatrist. Now my psychiatrist is prescribing anti psychotics(risperidone currently), buspar didnt do anything, antidepressants gave me a mania. (I was diagnosed with panic disorder.) The panic disorder is very severe. Cognitive behavior therapy is VERY ineffective in my case. What should I do?

@Masteroftrancegirl Eating ground beef, consuming white sugar and doing very heavy weights on my biceps helped me ...

I think the ground beef and whte sugar helped to rebuild core tissue and resttrengthen muscles as the whole muscle tension changes when one has panic...

And the bicep work increases circulation, nd stimulates a certain part or reaction from the brain...

so there's the layman and slightly scientific explanation of what I found to work best :P

Hahaha

doctorofmindmd, I have a question... I have been having panic attacks usually once a month or once every two weeks due to built up stress. Aside from preventative measures like exercise and cognitive therapy, I take (1) 0.5mg dosage of alprazolam during each panic attack. Will taking this on a prn basis like I currently am, is there a high potential for addiction and/or dependence?

"SSRIs, right? Did you ever pull someone off Xanax and put them on Paxil? Nice try!" Hahahahahaha.

@DendrilopisXaggro I have anxiety and ADD and I amphetamine-like stimulants dissolve my anxiety. So I disagree. Thanks

Doctor, how much money do physicians earn per rx. written for the profitable meds?
