I asked my doctor to try me out on ativan for my anxiety because a good friend of mine who has severe anxiety takes it and it seems to help her a lot. I suggested ativan because of my friends suggestion, and because i'd never heard of klonopin. What works best for panic disorder, and what are the differences between the two. Thanks for listening and I appeciate any advice from anyone who can empathise with me.

altough people are not happy with my work I got fired many times at work.I only think that All that matters is getting the job done. Is it a sign of being careless, a mental illness or lack of work effort?

I was diagnosed today by my doctor with panic disorder today and was prescribed remeron for depression, klonopin for anxiety, and trazadone for insomnia. I have been suffering for a long while now and really need some kind of reilef, but I'm afraid to try another antidepressant seeing that none have worked for me in the past. However, I just read online that ssri (i think they're called) antidepressants such as prozac, effexor xr, and zoloft are quite different from remeron so I'm willing to try to get better once more. I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks.

She's 15 and has a horrible memory. One of the things she does is she finishes all of her homework (and stays up very late in the night trying to finish) yet when she arrives at school thinking she's got all her homework with her, it's not. Apparently I tell her to write a list of things somewhere in her room where she can see and remember. Yet she still can't!! She's been like this for months and failing 3 subjects because of this!!

I help her as much as I can, but I've got work in the morning. And I know she could get good grades, but with her horrible memory she can't!

What can I do to help her?

My father bought me a handgun (I like to go hunting and handguns are useful sometimes) for my birthday. This week, when I got bullets for it, I held it to my head at least twelve times. I wanna pull the trigger... but then I don't. It'd be a waste of bullets. I hate this god damned life and all the harsh bastards out there who made it such a mess. I hate my mother for being such an FUKIN ignorant and abusive cow. I hate people!!! I HATE THIS STUPID GUN!!!

But I love it, too. I wanna end it somehow... please help???

such as reading comprehension issues or some other social skills difficulties? Or is it just like everything else slow to learn...it just takes time to build up the way the other things have been built up?

I recently visitied a D.O. and a hormone test has revelaed that my hormones, specifically my cortisol, is high when it should be low and low when it should be high. Additionally, I demonstrate a lot of the symptoms of an adrenal disorder: depression, irregular menstral cycles, skin conditions, etc. My doctor has reccomended adrenal stress end (?) to treat my depression, but I have heard that hormone treatment for non-menpausal women is risky at best, a crock at worst. (I mean, you can get this stuff over the counter for goodnes sake!) I'm only 26! Does anyone have anicdotes or advice to share?

i asked a question earlier but il try again....il shorten it down. I have NO FRIENDS. I am in the UK, however i am from Libya, i have an american (ish) accent.
I was at boarding school since age of 11 till 18, made some friends, lost them all through no contact.
I went to college, made a few friends, didnt stay long enough to make good ones, so lost them all again.
University 1st Year - Made many friends, and 1 best friend, ALL of them changed course, and best friend moved to France (his home), still in touch but dnt meet since im here.
University 2nd Year- Made a 1-2 new friends, they also quite univeristy and i lost contact or they just live to far anyway.
Present Uni year - Made no friends, everyone seems to be in groups of their own "kind" like british ppl with british, and black people with black. No ppl of my "kind" nor have i ever had friends of my own race, i just dnt click with most of them.

i am 23 and i think ive hit a huge down point in my life. i graduated HS with everyone else at age 18 and now i am having extreme back-to-school anxiety cos i am starting college again. it does not feel like normal anxiety.. i've been having horrible panic attacks that seem to start up during the day and reach their peak at night before i get calm (which might be the Xanax im on). i believe the reason for the panic attacks is cos A) i recently weened myself off of Cymbalta and B) i keep obsessing over the fact that if i dont get a college degree i will amount to nothing. (partially instilled into me by my dad). on top of that i have a $5000 debt that i acquired over the previous 5 yrs that i wasn't in school and just working random jobs. i seem to have this fear of the future since im now faced with this huge decision of what to do. everyone is expecting me to get an education and live a 'normal' life but i have a fear that i wont be ok.. i can't stop obsessing and i've been shaking.

Ok I was depressed earlier in my life and I seemed to get rid of it, but I feel the same way again. This time is worse. I feel that the depression is morphing into some kind of hate. it's really weird because this hate motivates me to do better in school and stuff, but I feel all this anger in me, and quite frankly I don't like it. Could someone help me with some advice! It's urgent.

I have no friends, used to have a gf, who broke me so bad its not really possible to trust any girl anymore, because all girls are the same to an extent.
Anyhow, i have tried making friends and have been doing so. At uni today i tried talking to the "group" of people saying hi and commenting and asking questions, but i was ignored, interuprted and overpowered by a louder person, even tho they did hear me.

Im in the UK and i have an american accent and im from Libya (which is a mixed race of Arabs and Italians). I was thinking it might be because of my accent? because it cant be race , there are mixed races in my class that all talk.

This is just 1 factor thats affecting me so bad i cry every few hours about it. I remember back in the days when i was 8 or 9 i was the funniest guy in my class, now im just a loser at 21.

Today i took Vodka even tho im not allowed in my religion, but i had no way to stop this feeling. I dont get it, i tried all ways to make friends..but no

There is just one thing in life that CANNOT be done: not choosing. By not choosing, you CHOOSE no to choose.

i am a 12 year old boy, and recently i saw a phyciatrist and she prescribed me luvox to treat my anxiety, depression, and obsessive thought. i meet all the criteria for all of those things, but all of this is making my behavior towards teacher, siblings, and parents much worse, so i am wondering if maybe there is some other disorder that i could have. ps i am positive that i dont have schizophrenia
