If you have been on any of these medications - Which did you like better for your depression/anxiety? |
Anyone on Xanax or Ativan? or any anti-depressant If you have been on any of these medications - Which did you like better(feel better) for your depression/anxiety? Did you feel better off the benzodiazepines(ativan,xanax,d... or..Did you feel better off the anti-depressants(effexor,zolof... did you feel better off a combination of both? i have been on both. i took 2 mg of ativan for months and my doctor recenty switched me to xanax because the ativan wasnt working for me anymore. the xanax has been dng wonders for me...lasts longer and keeps me a lot more calm. only problem is is that i have children and one is 6 months and i am a little unsteady when she wakes up and needs her bottle ause i have to take the xanax before bedtime.never been on zoloft, but am currently being weaned off the effexor.... Xanax is much stronger, and they can be taken with anti-depressants Effexor was good after it was at 300mg but the weight gain was horrible. Xanax and ativan work pretty much the same. Combo is the better way to go. I took Zoloft for a year and the only problem I had with it was a mild case of dry mouth for the first week or two. It really helped me quite a bit. Xanax is an anti-anxiety med. Zoloft is an anti-depressant. Ativan is a tranquilizer. They are for different problems. Zoloft works for me. In the beginning I took Ativan with Zoloft to help me sleep. Ativan can be addictive, so the doctor stopped it after a week. Benzos will chill you out, helping with the anxiety but only use short term as they are addictive!! Most antidepressant's will take up to 4-6 weeks to have full effect give it a few weeks if you feel no better get them changed!! mixing both to start with may really help you!! michelle XXX (RMN) I've taken Xanax for years for anxiety. The problem with anxiety is that some doctors don't ask the right questions and will diagnose someone as depressed, hence the double scripts. They are two very different disorders. Xanax works very well for me. Ativan didn't do anything. I've also taken Klonopin which just made me want to sleep. |
