I have tried just about every ssri, tca, benzos work temporarily (have tried all), but are not strong enough for the extreme anxiety and panic and agorphobia that I have. (I would have to take xanax all day long to get a hold on this, which I wont do) Can't stop the intrusive thoughts. I'm talking extreme shaking all day long, scared to leave house much less get out of bed. Have lost all motivation and energy. Am afraid I am dying of everything. Loss of all appetite. Stomach is constantly in knots.
I seem not to respond well to ssri's, but if you know of one that works better on anxiety other than zoloft, prozac or lexapro, please let me know. (had either no reation to these or allergice reactions) Was seriously considering Nardil, but still unsure because of side effects.
My dx is extreme GAD, phobia and panic, not depression (maybe just underlying depression due to anxiety of not being able to do as I please anymore)
This has not been for me an illness that I have had for a long time. It just all hit about 2 years ago. Maybe someone could suggest a combo of some kind.
Please help!
