Hello all,this is my first time posting and i doubt i will post any more unless it be a once or twice response kinda of thing.Anyway my main reason is i notice so much negativity here and even though i know its only people being honest it has still bothered me..many times id come from a docs visit with a new prescript and look it up here only to have my stomach sink and feel like total crap after reading of users comments on it.However i have gathered much info here and advice from the posts so i tohught it only fair to post mine also in case someone might benifit from it.like all of you i have taken every single ad i can think of each one literaly making me more depressed,more anxious,and overall horrable.i tried going the "natural" route popping amino acids,vitamins and minerals and natural herbs all day long which i have to say made me feel worse than the meds.i mean those natural regimns have you taking 30 different pills a day god that is annoying and expenisve and does not work....very few people who swear by it(least from my experiance).but i havent gave up and kept researching and ive had three days in a row so far where i feel like myself and god its feels great...i am praying that it will last so i would just like to share what seems to be working for me in case anyone else might want to consider it......here goes.......
parnate.....20 mg 2x a day.seems to be working for my social anxiety and my depression.
klonopin when needed...over a year i have not exceeded 1 mg in a day.(excellent drug,excellent!!!)
aplha-stim cranial stimulation unit.....just started this i use it one hour a day with the ear clips but also add forehead stimulation too.
so there it is people,the parnate is one of the few that you hear good things about so i jumped on that.the klonopin can build tolerence,but im careful and the 1mg calms me when i need it and nothing more, no side effects,no added depression and no drowsiness.i think if you drink and abuse stuff dont even waste your time with it though.i have seen someone freak out over xanax but she is a abuser.also exercise yes...i lift wieghts personaly but man you have to exercise okay.....at least 4 times a week and no EXCUSES...absolutly no EXCUSES.and last like we all know these are not mircale pills,so when the pills do their job and make you feel like yourself again quikly do your job and take advantage and make changes in your lifestyle that will make you happy start being social fast do something so your brain cant jump back into that mode of thinking again.its chemical but not 100 percent chemical.whew, i think ive said enough..anyway i just wanted a post up here that does incorprate some positve responses cause like me we dont expect a absolute cure, we just want the good days to out number the bad ones.i hope i will continue to feel better and i wish everyone luck on this miserable jorney we are all on...peace and god bless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
