I got prescribed 0.5mg of ativan for panic attacks that only hit me in certain situations. I'm also on propanolol. The Ativan seemed to do nothing really so right now i'm pretty drunk and just crushed up 3 pills and snorted it up to see what it would do. I just feel a bit drunker. Tell me i'm dumb, i know you will.

I just became paralyzed, and it's such torture I sometimes think my heart might just give out. I never knew such suffering was even possible.

I'm 18 years old and just recently been diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorders.
First question: My doctor said he wants me to start medication soon. I have to go back in next week to get a perscription. What kind of medication would he be likely to perscribe and what kind of side effects does it have?

Second question: I play the piano, but because my anxiety has become so bad over the years I can only play in front of certain people because my hands shake so badly. I would love to be able to play in front of an audience, but I can't keep my hands on the correct keys. I was told that propranolol could help (a doctor didn't tell me this my grandma did). Is this true? Has anyone had any experience with propranolol for this type of thing? Does it have any bad side effects?

Third question: Is there any way best to tell my best friend about my recent diagnosis? I think he always suspected something but wasn't sure what it was.

So, Im 15 and I have had a real rough time since I was 11. I was diognosed with depression, adhd, bi-polar, and I have anxiety attacks. Well, I was also a really bad kid from 11-13 1/2. Well, I got forced to go to home schooling [not from me being bad] and I have been in home schooling for 2 grades now. [7th and Im in 8th now btw i flunked 1 time] Well, back in 05 my best friend that helped me with almost everything got hit by a semi truck died and they let the truck driver go. Ever since then I really can not go to bed until 3-5 in the morning. Sometimes even 6. I have 2 friends. I talk to one everday on the computer, and I talk to the other one at the most 2 times a week. I just want to be a normal teen, that has friends, and can go outside without having a anxiety attack. My mom and grandma makes me feel even more worse. They say things like " your going to be just like your dad" and " its your fault you have no friends" So long story short, Im a loner with depression, adhd, bi-polar, and anxiety attacks.It also feels like something from my pastp it could be anything] is not wanting to let go. What can I do for me to be a normal teen?? Other than medication [i went to a phyciatrist and I have already been on 6 different medications and none of them work]? Any adive or suggestions are appriciated. Thanks for your time

In my child psych/dev class we learned that someone might rock or cradle themself for confort and that it is not normal behavior for someone to do. My question is why. Why is it not normal? I will admit i have been diagnosed with depression and quit therapy because of cash issuses with my parents. But I think i finnaly started feeling better after i quit therapy. But I DO rock when I cry too hard and I can't really help it, i do think its conforting on some level. But why is this unnormal behavior?

I went to the emergency room, seriously thinking I was having a heart attack. After all my tests came back completly normal, they diagnosed the problem as imflammation of the muscles around the heart, caused by anxiety. Of course, they gave me xanax, and it helps, but I was wondering what are some natural ways to help out the attacks?

We live together day in and day out.. We used to have everything in common...Now I feel so distant from her.I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and its taken a toll on our relationship.I don't think that she really is all that interested in me anymore..Day after day and night after night she is doing other things and has told me things that upset her because she doesn't understand the feelings I have ..She has hurt me and made me feel bad and like she isnt interested anymore.I feel like im alone and deserted and feel like I really got sick I would totally be alone .. I don't feel that happiness between us anymore.. and we are just existing together..What should I do?I just feel like im existing now and nothing really matters anymore..Should I just be content or should I leave and let her alone..or what?She now is showing interest in things she never has before...Am I just feeling this or could things be the way that I perceive them to be and she just isn't with me anymore here

I was just prescribed 0.5 Xanax to take as needed for anxiety/panic I have been experiencing since starting Welbutrin XL.
My doctor told me to go home and try it without an anxiety attack to see how I respond to it, so we know if I am able to tolerate taking it during the day (at work/driving etc.) if I suffer an attack.

I took one last night and I was sooo sleepy, I couldn't hold my eyes open, I was slurring my speech and staggering like I was drunk!
I want to know, will the drowsiness, slurred speech get better as my body adjusts to it?
I am hoping so, otherwise it does me no good unless I have an attack while I'm at home. I surely can't go anywhere like I was last night!
