Today, I started taking my anxiety meds. Without them I can't function because I'm constantly fighting off panic attacks, but with them I can't function because I get crippling headaches and heartburn and feel tired all the time. FML

Ask for a different prescription, sorry OP

Sorry OP. Maybe try consulting with the prescribing doctor for an alternative solution

smoke weed. then you wont be able to function because youll feel so good.

Sorry OP! A lot of times when I got heartburn from my medication it was from not drinking enough water when I took it, because the beds got stuck in my throat and irritated it all the way down. I don't know if that will help but I hope you feel better, anxiety is a bitch

There are many ways to treat anxiety. Try psychotherapy, possibly EMDR or meditation can fix you up.

get that changed up, im on xanax n they work great 4 me. they r probably the best anxiety pills there r in my opinion

oh yea, if u can smoke weed, it def works for anxiety. i was open n honest with my pyschiatrist n told them i smoke, they had no problem with it bc it helps me n also u would sleep amazing every night.

Might want to try taking different anxiety meds. I work at a pharmacy and I could tell u theres multiple options. Talk to ur pharmacist about it he can recommend u a different drug

I feel for you, OP. I sincerely do.

Psychiatric drugs are not the wayyyyy!!!!!!! They mess people up!

Dunno man, my organic brain chemistry tried to get me to peel my skin off with a razor. Psychiatric meds convinced me that was a terrible plan.

Might want to try medical marijuana. It's been proven to help out with anxiety and panic attacks. There are strains with very low THC levels so you won't get high.
