I tried a cocktail of SSRIs for 3 months each and none ever worked for my anxiety. I'm not a fan of benzos given what I've read here and heard in other places. Also, I doubt I'd be able to easily obtain them. Nevertheless, my anxiety is slowly killing me and I'd like to get a handle on it - what other options are there? I recently discovered that MAOIs are great, if you can deal with the dietary restrictions - anybody have experience with them?
- mrsteveman1 11y agoYea, SSRIs actually made things worse for me (and they can be quite dangerous if taken alongside other medications that aren't "obviously" problematic, including some that merely affect liver enzyme levels). You might look at magnesium/calcium/D3 in combination, specifically one of the chelated forms of magnesium.
- stuxnet79 11y agoThanks, I will look into that. Incidentally, I just booked an appointment with my psychiatrist in two weeks - I intend to bring this entire issue up.
