Help with Geodon? (anxiety issues)?
I take Geodon for clinical depression and anxiety, and it works wonderfully, except that it gives me a LOT of anxiety as a side effect. I've tried many other drugs which I had to stop because all of them were making me gain weight (which was why I was put on Geodon -- less chance of weight gain), but it seems instead of weight gain I am now dealing with more anxiety and it is severely interrupting my life. I talked to my doctor about this and he prescribed 1mg Lorazapam along with the Geodon and it works SOME, but doesn't totally get rid of the anxiety. Honestly, I don't want to switch medications AGAIN (so tired of the med-merry go round!!) what can I do to help relieve my anxiety? Thanks in advance.
Does eShisha relieve stress and help anxiety?
Not really, you could develop a conditioned response that smoking eHookah to release endorphins when you smoke. Meditation and natural remedies would be much easier. I smoke normal hookah pure tobacco, and I still suffer from anxiety. So I take Confianza now http://wrappinghappy.com/ instead of being on meds or trying to get nicotine to take off the edge.
What type of doctor do you see for anxiety issues?
Start with your primary doctor. If you need a specialist, s/he will refer you. If you don't have insurance, just go to a general practitioner (internist.) There are many great medications for anxiety/panic attacks. Be sure to tell the doctor everything. That will help him figure out which med will be best for you. Sometimes you might have to try 2 or 3 till you find the right one. For anxiety alone, without depression, you might have been thinking of valium, xanax, or what I think is a wonder drug, Klonopin. Those work within 30 minutes, unlike Zoloft, Pazil, or Prozac which take up to 2-3 weeks to work. Bless you and good luck! :)

Can exercise cure anxiety and depression..?
I do NOT think that exercise will cure Anxiety or Depression, in the immediate short term. If we want to think about this though in the Long term thinking, then that's another entire way the medical world looks at it. Many doctors agree that simply walking each day has an affect of lessening the anxiety issues, In that respect also, it can assist to keep the mind from Depressional thoughts. Anxiety reacts to Exercise though more so than depression. BY that, I mean it is easier for an Anxiety sufferer to undertake exercise more so than a depressional sufferer. WHY? Anxiety is NOT constantly at your side as Depression is. Anxiety may well be a companion that has A TENDENCY to be around quite often, but it also sometimes goes back into "its corner" even for a short period. Depression however. is a REAL illness. Anxiety is NOT a medical illness,,its Physical symptoms and is NOT a Mental Illness, whereas Depression is.

What can I do in a relationship to help relieve my boyfriend’s anxiety and feelings of self-worth?
As a guy with these problems maybe I'll be able to help…When ever i feel my anxiety taking over.. I like to be held and be reassured that things will be ok.As for the self worth problems… Compliments work best. I love when my girlfriend calls me cute.These are small things that will help in the long run..Hope this helps.. (Btw sorry for the horror writing…. Writing has never been one of my strengths)PS. Don't break up with him because of those… Those problems don’t manifest by themselves… Something happened to him to make him feel like that. Maybe getting him to tell you what made him feel like that is the key.
How does exercise reduce anxiety?
yes it does help.. exercise takes your focus off what's bothering you and hey it's just good in general.. exercise also releases serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine and a few other nuerotransmitters in your brain.. serotonin is believed to influence mood.. it also plays a role in the regulation of anger, aggression, body temperature, sleep, vomiting, sexuality and appetite.. norepinephrine is a stress hormone and it plays a large part involving attention and focus.. it's also involved with the body’s fight or flight response, which is what our body experiences when put under stress.. dopamine is associated with pleasure, happiness, and motivation.. exercise also releases endorphins which are the body's natural pain killers.. exercise helps to balance your brain chemisty..and it has been clinially proven to work faster and longer than medication for treating anxiety and depression.. taking a twenty minute walk each day could really help.. exercise is an instant mood enhancer.. some of the positive effects of exercise on anxiety are: enhanced body image, relief of stress and frustration, improved physical health, help to sleep better, a feeling of accomplishment, and a better sense of control.. as for energy.. putting your nervous energy towards exercise is a good way to diminish it.. the energy you receive from exercise will be a more positive one.. i really hope this helps.. and best of luck..
