I began experiencing symptoms of GAD in my 20's. Fatigue, panic attacks, inability to focus, outburst of anger over minor issues, restless legs at night and lots of worry. Constant worry that by my 50's, I was unable to control. I worried about things that were unimportant to me and knew better, but I could not turn it off. I was miserable. By my mid 50's I was unable to function or cope. My mother had had two breakdowns when I was a child and looking back, I can see that she suffered the same symptoms. I believe that her Dad and her brother also suffered from GAD, which both treated with alcohol. My GF eventually recovered and stopped drinking. My uncle became a functioning alcohol to treat his GAD. If I did not have access to the new drugs available today, I think I would have gone that route, even though I do not drink. I also have a sister that has been diagnosed with GAD and a brother that seems to struggle with anxiety, but has managed it on his own. From my experience, I believe that it is hereditary. My Doctor told me to read a book called "The Anxiety Disease", which was the story of my life.

This sounds tough. Long term anxiety takes a toll on a person. Believe me I know.

I totally agree. I think anxiety and depression often run in families.

I see that this book is available on Amazon. Do you recommend it?
You mentioned in an earlier post that you take Effexor. Does this help? I see that Effexor is an SSNRI. My knowledge regarding medications and how they work is very limited.

Your post is the story of my life, including the family history of alcoholism to deal with the symptoms of perpetual GAD. My grandmother also had psoriasis all over her body, which I believe (no matter what doctors say) had some connection to whatever this nastiness is that we are all suffering from. Have you found anything that successfully treats your symptoms? I am still struggling greatly at the age of 49. When faced with the stress of everyday life (full-time job, paying bills, the stress of "ex-tro-verting" myself in relationships), I crumble. I mostly use passive coping to deal with everything, spending much time alone, and limited interactions with others. It is the only thing that has worked for me so far, though I live in a chronic state of internal resentment over my condition. Much luck to you on your journey.
Chris

Yes, I do recommend the Effexor XR, side effects take at lease 3 months to overcome, they are bad, but you must stay long enough to get past their effects. You will begin to feel better soon. But I also need Xanax from time to time to take when the anxiety comes on. I only take one mg at a time and always just before bed. It is like Valium for your brain, but it does not make you drowsy or tired. It also Helps in social settings as well and helps control outburst of anger. And if you can find the book I recommended, buy it, it gives you hope you can get better. I go to a Psychiatrist for the treatment, and for this, therapy is not involved, no periods on the sofa spilling your life story, this is a chemical brain imbalance corrected with the drugs. Dont wait, call a shrink now, not your GP My GP gave me this advice to treat this condition.
