I take Abilify, Guanfacine (at night), Sertraline (Zoloft), and Vyvanse (ADHD med).

I did not realize that none of these deal with or combat my anxiety, at least not directly. None of these are, say, like Xanax or any of the other meds like it.

And all these years too while my anxiety has festered. Abject fear. Dread. And agitation.

I am going to have to ask my psychiatrist about this. Apparently, there is also medication dealing directly with OCD. Again, nobody told me this and nobody out me on this. But I could have used it all this time.

I am going to try and lower my antidepressants because those make me feel tired. But the anti-anxiety meds are stuff that I need, pronto.

Content warnings are required in post titles if discussing topics that could potentially be triggering, please use common sense and best judgement for this.
Use title tags if possible to help people know what you are posting about (Example: [Venting], [Advice Needed], [Resource], [Discussion], etc.).
If you are posting information to help others, please try to make sure it is evidence-based treatment; homeopathic/naturopathic treatment and spiritual guidance is absolutely fine, within reason, but please note this in the title or body of the post.

General Community Rules (Work-In-Progress - 8/10/2022):

I will tone police, if you are being an ass, i will shut you down. I will not allow a breakdown of decorum in this support focused community. If you want to scream about how terrible psychiatry is or shit talk anti-psychiatry, find another community for that. or make a new one.
This is a positive and supportive place, treat others like you want to be treated, give someone the benefit of the doubt, and help where you can help.
