I suffer from severe anxiety. I also have bipolar. Im not depressed my moods are good on my meds but the dr keeps trying antidepressants for my anxiety. They are not working. Im really struggling. I go to therapy weekly but anxiety is ruling and ruining my life! I went to my new PC Dr today and of course he put me on Trintellix. Has anyone taken this before? I have a slight headache since I took it. I am very frustrated. When I looked this med up I literally was shocked by what I read. Any feedback?
At 57, I have been on all sorts of meds. If I were to do it over again, I would not take meds at all. If you are always anxious, there is a reason and it is likely physical. Tell, don't ask, your doc to test you for celiac disease. I was diagnosed too late and am now sick with other diseases, likely because of all the stupid pills I took that did no good BECAUSE anxiety is a symptom of a greater problems! docs ignor this fact. CD causes malnutrition which causes anxiety, it's a no-brainer, but docs never see it. OR if you have poor nutiriton, you will be anxious. I would first look at your diet. Are you eating fresh food every day, not premade of processed. Are you getting adiquit protein?
I have no idea how old you are, if you are a fitness instructor or a couch potato. If you are horrified by the pills, GREAT! Stay there! There are some of us out here who have learned the hard way and want to hlep others not make the same uninformed decisions we did.
PM me is you are interested 🥗
Hi.....I think I shouldn't be on meds either..
I agree with dee I have very bad anxiety attacks most of the time and I don't take nothing for it . I hear all types of things and I'm too scared to take anything I just deal with it and believe me it's not easy. I hope you could find a better way.
