i can tell you right now that all the anxiety and ptsd related meds ive taken have done jack shit (and in many cases made it worse), and the only thing thats ever helped me were sleep meds. and ive swapped through well over 2 dozen kinds of pills for it. therapists are even more useless for me. sleep meds dont get rid of it but it makes the nightmares go away which has a positive cascading effect on my mood and anxiety. also makes me not shatter my teeth in my sleep
Have you ever tried pregabalin? It kind of exists in an efficacy sweet spot where the risk of bad withdrawal is less than with benzos and Z drugs, while still providing relief from panic attacks.
yeah been on it before cause of nerve damage flares and also for anxiety, no change. in fact i think thats one of the ones that made it feel like i chugged 20 cups of coffee
Damn. Are you really caffeine sensitive? I can have just one cup of coffee and it will be enough to send me into a dissociative state. Even iced tea can mess me up.
