Help me find a medication

Posted , 2 users are following.

Help me, please, find a drug that can help me with my anxiety. I can get extremely anxious for the stupidest reasons and my anxiety spasms my muscles hardly which is really bad for me because I have a problem with my spine. I've tried 4 antidepressants: trazodone, Zoloft, Fevarin, mianserin. Mianserin causes horrible side effects to me, especially muscles weakness and things like that, I can't take drugs like this one. Other antidepressants I've tried don't cause such bad side effects when I take the minimal dosage, but I can't take them because of accommodative spasm - I can't look at displays or books on them. After that, I read on the Internet this: "One of the most common eye-related side effects of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications is blurred vision. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro, etc. directly affect the pupil and ciliary muscle function of the eye and can make it difficult to focus on near objects." really need to deal with anxiety, because it affects my physical health, and it comes very often and spasms my muscles with bigger power. Also, I've read some books about stoicism, they are really helpful, but anxiety always finds things to worry about, even if I don't want to.

    the most commonly used meds for anxiety and depression are celexa, paxil, prozac, lexapro. never heard of the ones you took except zoloft. maybe see if you can try one of these.

    . mianserin is an atypical antidepressant. used mostly in europe and other areas in the world. Not sure I would use that one. but go with the one that works best for you.
