A prescription for anxiety that works long term

Hi,

    You need to see your doctor and discuss with him your concerns.  Maybe he can change the medicine you're taking.

If you have been on 0.5 mg of clonazepam twice a day for 5 years it is time for re-evaluation. Sometimes things have a way of slipping by the wayside and we, as patients need to address them. Long term meds often need to be increased in dosage as our bodies have adjusted to them, thus they need adjusting.  Also, if you are getting them prescribed by your primary care physician you would fare better with a professional/psychiatrist. One more thing; there are alot of meds used for more than one thing (aka off label uses). Thus, just because a person doesn't have a seizure disorder doesn't neccessarily mean it's being used for that purpose. There are also many other medications that will help you if current one does not.

Stressed out!

What is stress all about? Of course, I do not have all the answers, but a famous psychiatrist named Alfred Adler, an early associate of Sigmund Freud, strongly believed that personality difficulties are rooted in a feeling of inferiority that derive from restrictions on an individual's need for self-assertion.

Let me put this in simple terms: sometimes you need to blow your top.

Do you ever think about some of your replies to an aggressive statement? Do you ever wonder what would have happened if you had expressed your real feelings? Do you ever lay in bed and think about what happened during the day and how you could have handled it better?

Tension builds from frustration. If what I asked above applies, think about risking someone's anger. Read more about this in Gigenrenzer's 'Thinking Rationality in teh Real World".
