Hi,
I'm a 31 yr old female who isn't new to anxiety. I've had it almost all my life. Got diagnosed when I was 24 yrs old. I've had panic attacks, heart-racing, everything. I was even hospitalized for depression/anxiety a few times.
I guess my question is this? How can I releve this anxiety i feel everyday. I'm on meds.... Lamictal 400mg, Ativan 1mg 3x per day. Lexapro 1x day. and Visteral for anxiety 3x per day... If anyone has any experice with these medications can you please tell me more.
I've been on lexapro for 5 yrs. Ativan for 2 yrs. and the other's since Jan 08.
Thanks for reading have a great day.

CBT is what turned my anxiety problems around. Join a cbt group or read some cbt books like the one by Sam Obitz that we used in my cbt group and give the TEA form thought countering exercise a try. It does not work for everyone but is worth a try IN MY OPINION. I was even able to get off my meds and have been doing great ever since. Good luck!

sounds like alot of meds but if it is what your dr thinks you should be on i quess its ok unless its not working for you.
I take zoloft & ativan at nite to sleep...hoping to get off as soon as i feel better. I would question why this combo of pills and why its not working for you
