Highanxiety1

Ativan for emergencies but I take Pristiq on a regular basis

LilMiss

I take Clonazepam as needed for panic attacks.

I also take pristiq 100mg but I don't think it's doing anything for me unfortunately

Teddy_Bear

I actually take medical marijuana for my panic attacks because I know what triggers them.

lovingluna

I take gabapentin morning, night, and as needed

HeartOfGlass

I take gabapentin three times a day and clonazepam for panic attacks and situations that cause high anxiety (like work).

For immediate benefit with my anxiety, no medicine works for me ... the only thing that helps me is meditation and therapy sessions. All other drugs take time to take effect. I'm under SSRI treatment right now, which helps me stay more or less stable.

I was on Zoloft for a year and a half. It did help me calm down and the intrusive thoughts weren’t as bad as before. Just a warning you may gain a little weight on the medication. But I definitely think it is worth a try if your doctor thinks it’s the right treatment for you

Tomato

For acute and really bad anxiety episodes I take klonopin. If I feel like I can overcome it without any drugs, I try to apply what I learned in CBT.

I take escitalopram (lexapro) daily and then lorazepam (Ativan) for when I start feeling panicky.

Ibi

I take vistaril as needed for anxiety and attacks

Zoloft, Clonazepam ( Klonopin) , and Topamax ( mood stabilizer & for migraine prevention.. REALLY WORKS!!)

I take vistaril and Gabapentin (for both anxiety and nightmares) the vistaril seems to work best though for me.

bornalive121

CBD

I take Paxil, Vistaril and Valium for mine

I take buspar daily, and I have hydroxyzine I can use as needed. I don't have panic attacks, but I do have significantly high GAD, and buspar has been amazing for me.

CLONAZAPAM

I was prescribed paroxetine, I've been taking it for six months. It's also for depression and OCD. It's been good for me, thank God

Clonazepam and alprazolam
