Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder remains the most prevalent psychiatric disorder. Symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder include a sense of unease, dread or foreboding along with excessive, unrealistic worry. Other common complaints of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder include the feeling of muscle tension, impaired concentration, insomnia and restlessness.
Complicating the diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder are irritability, sweating, trembling, headache and gastrointestinal issues. Many individuals seek care for these non-specific somatic symptoms rather than their unrecognized anxiety issues. As a result, they may undergo medical evaluation and receive therapy for their presenting complaints rather than the true underlying causative psychiatric condition.
Further compounding the problem with diagnosis, most of those with Generalized Anxiety Disorder also suffer with a number of other psychiatric maladies ranging from panic attacks to depression and social anxiety disorder. The presence of somatic issues and other psychiatric disorders complicates timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder attacks women twice as frequently as men. Symptoms tend to begin in men in their early 20s while the onset tends to be delayed in women until their late 20s. Another smaller peak occurs in older individuals. African Americans appear more likely to suffer from depression when compared to Caucasians.
Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy or more customarily an SSRI or SNRI. While the benzodiazepines effectively mute symptoms, these drugs including Xanax, Ativan and Klonipin currently are out of favor with the government and professional organizations. In spite of this patients and doctors alike often favor drugs commonly referred to as “benzos.”

The way my anxiety disorder comes out is like this. I am sitting in a situation that should be relaxing, a day off, road trip with my family, a nice dinner with my wife or even being at work sometimes. And I cannot help but feel as though something bad is going to happen or that I forgot something or some other nagging feeling. Everything is okay, I should be relaxed, but I am sitting there constantly worried about nothing in particular.

adderall and klonopin are the no.1 drugs for almost all forms of anxiety in my opinion, two completley different feelings but they work the best, almost impossible to get these drugs in my country yet doctors will gladly prescribe beta blockers, non-benzodiazepines // SNRIs // sleeping pills etc. without even properly getting to know their patient. Make sure you don't ruin what you got there because I've been trying for so long to get the meds I KNOW work for me and i've had no luck. Up again all night with insomnia to call my GP in the morning to let him know the propranolol i was prescribed for severe panicking, muscle cramps and intense anxiety does nothing but make my damn feet cold and chest tight.

I'm always worried anxious angry etc always think I have something wrong etc insomnia

[@santabala6314]

The anxiety started at the age of 33 with a panic attack, I have spent 24 years of my life in this brutal suffering, I have tried all the antidepressants, nothing works, only clonazepam helps me a little, my life is ruined, my self-esteem is low. the ground, not even God listens to me, I have tried to brainwash myself by telling myself a thousand times that I should trust, suffering 24/7, nothing makes me happy, I feel hopeless, my doctor doesn't even want to see me, the only hope for me now is to take propanilol to test if you can block the fight or flight adrenaline pattern, this symptom occurs especially in the mornings. It's not worth living like this, it's too much suffering! bestial!! I would like to do so many things, projects, find a boyfriend, travel, enjoy a simple walk! I want to be happy again, i was athletic, but doesn’t work nothing,,but 24 years of my life have already passed and I am exhausted, I don't know if the doctor has compassion and gives me propranolol at least to see if it works, im dying inside, I don't see a way out, die and rest maybe... ..😞

After all these years they still haven’t came up with a long term solution for this severe anxiety disorder? It’s sad. Benzos work so good but they don’t want to hand any of them out. Smh. I feel so helpless

[@yuriedward6519]

I did experience that also but there is a remedy that was introduced to me by a colleague of mine to use natural remedies that can build and repair the nervous system and give me a good recovery from anxiety and insomnia, i micro dosed on psychedelic mushroom and got the best results permanently

Has anyone here tried TMS therapy? A lot of doctors claim that it is the most brilliant and effective one without almost any side effect and they also claim that it works very fast and extremely effectively. One of them claimed once that all of his patients who have undergone this treatment are extremely satisfied with the results now. I haven't tried it yet due to the reason that it's a little expensive. Of course, way more expensive than medications. Anyhow, some doctors highly recommend this therapy.

I have panic attacks daily and anxiety all day long I used to have Ativan and Clonopin now Kaiser has decided that those are bad drugs taking them away from everyone and now I’m in pure hell if I’m not having a panic attack I’m terrified one’s going to come on benzodiazepines stops them in their tracks and provides quality of life for someone like me but Kaiser doesn’t care at all they will not give me anything because they’ve decided that all benzodiazepines are bad

[@gloriajones3847]

Bebzos are the only thing that actually make it go completely away....

[@minnesota7010]

Find a good shrink online do Zoom meetings with them

[@thalianieve8717]

The doctor's who don't prescribe benzos probably take them for themselves and tell everyone else they can't have them because they know they're the one drug the top tier drug that works

[@tyrel-fg7zf]
