Answer 2

I took many until I got tired off taking them all and now I am paying for it. I was on Abilify, Depakote, Lexapro, and some new one that made my legs hurt all the time. I wish I could find some good ones that didn't make me so tired or sick to my stomach. My biggest problem today is I have many panic attacks a day and they are really bad if I have to leave my house and go to the store or something like that. I have been diagnosed as schizophrenic the paranoid type, bipolar, and i have real bad anxieties. If anyone has any suggestions to a good medicine let me know I am open to all opinions.

Answer 3

Hello. :-) I take 100mg of Zoloft. I started having horrible anxiety attacks last year and this has helped me immensely. I've come a long way since then. I don't like the fact that I need it in order to function properly, but I'm so thankful I found something that works! I would go 3 days without sleeping at all, I thought I was dying. I had numerous tests done, and finally the medication started to kick in. I would recommend it to anyone who is suffering from anxiety or panic attacks.

Answer 5

Yes I am currently taking Ativan, Vistaril, Lexapro & Risperdal. So far this combination is working for me now but have been on so many meds before - you just have to find the right ones that will work for you.

Answer 6

YES I TAKE MEDS FOR BOTH AND I USED TO HATE IT.AS IT KINDA MADE ME FEEL LIKE A FAILURE (BROKEN) AS A PERSON. HOWEVER I DO NOT FEEL THAT WAY ANY MORE AS I LEARNED IN THERAPY THAT THERE IS NO SHAME IN HAVING TO TAKE THIS KIND OF MEDICATION AND DOING SO DID NOT ME LESS OF A PERSON. TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE. TRY TO LOOK AT HAVING TO TAKE MEDS LIKE THIS
IF YOU HAD REALLY BAD EYES AND THE ONLY WAY YOU WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY WAS TO WEAR GLASSES YOU WOULD RIGHT ? AND BEING ABLE TO SEE AGAIN WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY RIGHT.
WELL TAKING MEDICATION FOR THIS DISORDER IS EXACTLY THE SAME !!
I SUGGEST YOU GET IN TO THERAPY SO YOU CAN COME TO TERMS WITH THIS ISSUE ALSO SUPPORT GROUPS ARE VERY HELPFUL.
I HAVE BEEN TAKING MEDICATION FOR BOTH THINGS SINCE 1993. I HAVE BEEN STABLE SINCE 1997. I WILL MOSTLY ALWAYS HAVE TO TAKE THESE MEDS TO REMAIN STABLE AND THAT'S OKAY.
ONE MORE NO ONE HAS TO KNOW YOU ARE TAKING MEDS IF YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH NOT TELLING UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WANT AS THAT IS FINE AS WELL.
GOOD LUCK !!! DODA
