In reply to Fear ? What is this can you help?Hi there everyone, posted by glenn on November 24, 2001, at 9:24:08
Hi:
Librium may be a step in the right direction. Actually, if you can get your doc to look at other 'benzodiazepines', they along with antidepressants you mentioned can do good.
You want to look at a balance of an antidepressant
and a benzo. Without the benzo, the antidepressant may likely just do little for overwhelming anxiety and depression.Are you taking the Librium with an antidepressant? Please let us know...
There is relief from the conditions you describe...and you and all of us deserve the best.
Please get back when you can
Best Wishes,
Jay
> Hi there everyone, I wonder if you can give me some suggestions and help.
> I live in the U.K and for about 5 years I have struggled with a problem which the doctors over here call depression but Im not so sure. Basically after a period of considerable pain and stress due to headaches, one day a feeling I can only describe as fear came over me and Ive struggled with it since that time. I dont have any suicidal thoughts, panic attacks or bad feelings about myself and no real physical symptoms such as sweating , rapid heart beat or palpitations.
> What I do have is a constant tension in my brain which is full of thoughts going on and on about my state of mind and a feeling I can best describe as fear. I beleive from reading other posts the
> thoughts may be ruminations?!
> I have tried doxepin, trazadone and remeron for months with no effect, paxil and zoloft made me worse very quickly.
> I know how it feels to be normal because every evening after about 8pm the feelings go away and my mind is calm and relaxed. I meditate and exercise regularly with little effect and dont have any compulsions.
> So I wonder if you could help firstly in giving me an idea of what I may be suffering from but most importantly have any of you experienced this and have you any ideas of what might help?
> Thankyou for any information you may have
> ps Ive just started librium for a few days but it doesnt seem to have made much difference yet.
