Answers:
You should see a therapist before you go on drugs. Drugs are a temporary solution. Getting ****** on on alcohol or anything else is not at all a good anxiety/depression treatment (although smoking pot could be okay in moderation, don't abuse it). It sounds like you need to talk to an adult who will listen to you and give you good advice. You might have to talk to a few different people before you find someone who can really help you. If you're already in therapy and it's not helping, maybe you should see someone new.
What do you eat.? Do you exercise.? Talking better care of yourself will help you feel better.
I've personally had only bad experiences with psychiatric drugs. I've been on Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, Risperdal (DO NOT take that one especially), Welbutrin, and Temazepam. I do not recommend antidepressants unless you've tried everything else, or really are suicidal, but in my case I think they made that worse to. I still thought the same thoughts, but I couldn't feel my emotions anymore. I just felt totally numb, and life seemed even more worthless when I couldn't even feel pain or sadness. I couldn't cry when I needed I release. In my opinion, cutting is a direct result of this anti-depressant phenomena.
I wish you well. Hang in there.Health Question & Answer

Having tried many alternatives, here is what I have concluded: Get aerobic exercise regularly, take fish oil and vitamin B complex. Take L. theanine capsules. L. Theanine is an extract of green tea and has no caffeine. It is a mild tranquilizer that doesn't give you euphoria, just calms you and deals with the anxiety. It is widely used in Japan and has been for decades. Google "L. theanine and anxiety" and read about it. You can buy it at Whole Foods and other health food stores. If you use caffeine in energy drinks, soft drinks, coffee, try eliminating it. Do the above and you be well. Health Question & Answer
I always had that problem when i was younger.Valium was supposed to help that way back then but i never tried it.All anti-depressants seem to have bad side effects.They ruined my ex wife.I highly recommend self medicating with a little weed.It's only bad side effect is it is illegal but it will help with the anxiety and calm you down and make you mellow if not lazy.Alcohol will make things worse.Don't do it.Health Question & Answer
Natural treatment really is the best option in the long term. In fact, medication will not cure anxiety disorders. All it does is keep them under control temporarily.

Hi Ardley, sorry to hear you're going thru such a rough time. Drugs are not the answer as they will leave you with sometimes incurable side effects!
I discovered Omega 3's (yes, fish oils) a few years ago. When I run out I get so depressed I"m suicidal!! Make sure your fish oils are "certified PCB or mercury free". And have no added sugar. (Dont' buy at Costco's or a drugstore unless they sell brand name supplements. More on this later).
I found that St. John's Wort is excellent for depression but I used to buy a brand that is discontinued and all the others I found at the store is expired on the shelf or didn't work. So I found Lithium Ororate over the counter natural mineral supplement helped but I only took one bottle (at the rate of I pill per day). This is NOT like the drug Lithium!!! It' works better and more safely.
On fish oils I still had anxiety attacks which is very different from depression. (Anxiety: tremendous fear at feeling of impending doom; depression: not wanting to do anything or even live).
So I tried PC or phosphatidyl choline (some spell the 2 words into one word so if you google try both spellings) and PC takes away any and all feelings of anxiety. It has some side effects though: better skin, happiness and body fat loss! :)
Here are some searches on these products at iHerb.com an excellent company which sells brand names at discounted prices (sometimes 50% off retail!!!) and I'll give you a coupon you can use at check out and get $5 off. Let me find it for you. :) Ok make sure to click "product review" tab to read how other customers feel after using these.

One last thing I discovered: Royal Jelly is amazing to give life back into a person and make energy levels normal and lift mood. (Do NOT buy if you've got allergies to pollen or honey. I'm allergic to tree pollen and take this without problem, but use caution)

Stop using any products that contain aluminum (deodorant, table salt switch to sea salt) and do not be around tobacco smoke or toxic fumes/chemicals as all this can impact your mood. Even perfume if you've developed sensitivity can depress you!
