Medication for anxiety

4 replies

Wildcat88 · 09/01/2020 19:06

my anxiety is worsening. I'm having panic attacks and derealization (I think) am on Fluoexdine and propranolol. GP doesn't want to prescribe anything else, but it is really affecting my day to day life and my sleep. Has anyone had any success with other meds? Pregabalin? Or different AD's? I'm receiving CBT on NHS but not finding it helpful yet.
Thank you

Been on fluoxetine one year (40mg)
Before this I was on Sertraline. Both help with my low mood but don't help much with anxiety. I have GAD

Pregabalin was good for me. It helped tremendously with my anxiety. The downside was huge weight gain and it made me sleepy.

Thanks for your reply!Smile
I've heard about that before . Did it make you hungry or just gain weight on its own ?
