Does medication for depression and anxiety help?
ByI’m not going to kill myself or anything, but i have been depressed for long time. I always lean on God and encouraging friends through hard times, but i have problems with anxiety as well and i know there is medication out there to help these things. Does anyone know about this? I get terrible anxiety about being alone, and get paranoid when im home alone. I hate showering because i don’t feel safe alone in the bathroom, behind the curtain. My mom just thinks it’s because i watch scary movies, but i’ve always been paranoid like this, it’s just gotten worse. I’ve never been able to bring this up with anyone, but i feel like medication would help me.
Medicine isn’t the answer for everyone but if you feel this way then it’s worth a shot to be honest. You just need to talk to the right people and try the right medications. It may take a while for your body to get used to the med your on and it might entirely reject it. It’s like a trial run for each medication and you should be fully aware of the dangers that could go on if the medication fails/or has side effects. That’s a big one. Know the side effects. Things could go seriously wrong, but with most medications you can catch it right of. I myself had a huge help with a med called Cyprexa but unfortunately it caused weight gain. So you need to know what you’re getting yourself into before you do go ahead and do it. I’m going to state though and strongly that medication does not work for everyone and sometimes you have to try maybe even a dozen before you find the right one, but don’t let anyone scare into not doing it because now a days doctors are good and know what they’re talking about. You just have to find the right doc. and med.

if taken correctly yes medication can help you with the paranoia and anxiety but first you must discuss how you are feeling with a doctor so that they can provide the best course of treatment/counselling for you.

It really depends on the person. I myself have axiety and depression. i have taken some medician but in my opinion it just tricks your brain. really you just have to talk to yourself and try as hard as you can to say STOP!

Don’t get discourage honey, there are some good medecine to help. Constant anxiety is an awful and i did live thru that myself. Best medication that gave outstanding results is PAXIL. Ask your doctor, it did wonders for me, and no more depression for me.

Per the FDA, the side effects of psychiatric drugs include mania, psychosis, depression, suicidal thoughts and death. Medical professionals can perform medical tests to detect any potential underlying physical cause of unwanted mental health symptoms.

I know what your going throuh i have anxiety aswell and have always had it. My experience with medication is that i do not like it.. something like ‘paxil’ or those type of meds do not work for me. the first i took them i had Sleep Paralysis for a month straight( first time ive ever experinced it) It really depends on the person for medication but i know that xanax works for me. Most doctors wont prescribe this or any other pill in that nature to minors. and even then of you have certain drug history they wont then either. The only other thing that helps me is pot. I know its illegal but its what works.. i am not saying you should do this i am giving personal experience. If you put your mind to hit coping tactics will work. I have had therapist help me with this aswell.. Good luck!

So many teens feel the same way you do it could be because you are vitamin deficinet which is very common with people all over the world, hormonal imbalance, bacterial infection, mold infection, strep infection, adrenal issues, celtic disease (not able to store vitamins in your body) etc. So find the cause.
google: vitamin deficiency and depression and vitamin deficiency and anxiety
get tested for vitamin deficiency and start taking vitamin b complex several times a day, D (see web it is a large dosage) and C (see web for dosage). Also get tested for hormonal imbalance. If your cycle is not every 28 days then you should talk to your gynecologist. Try vitamins before anti depressants for a few weeks it takes a few weeks for the vitamins to get into our systems. Also change your diet to a healthy diet lots of veggies and fruit. Know that sugar, caffeine and junk food actually causes anxiety and depression.
google: dr wilson adrenal fatigue website take his questionnaire and buy his adrenal rebuilder formula it works. also google cushing disease and celtic disease
watch the movie" The Secret by rhonda byer (Sp??) see website to change your thinking
Take care,
