Anxiety caused by medication?

September 1st, 2010

Mike asked:


Hi, I’ve had a breathing problem for the past 2 months. Finally, I’m taking daily Acid Reflux medication..Prevacid (started 3 days ago), as well as Fluconazole for a Fungus.

My family has a history of anxiety.

Right now my legs feel really light, my head and shoulders feel heavy, like I’m going to just pass out, I run my hands through my hair a lot, move my legs and stuff.

Is this anxiety? And do you think it’s caused by the medication? What’s the best thing to do?

Thanks ahead of time.

Why do people turn so quickly to medication when dealing with depression and anxiety?

August 30th, 2010

Julie N asked:


Especially when there are so many side effects (suicidal tendencies in children who take anti-depressants) and so many more effective ways to solve the root problems causing the depression and anxiety?
I had troubles with depression and anxiety and found success in journaling, cutting back on caffeine, and modifying my thoughts to a more positive point of view.

How do you handle anxiety attacks?

August 30th, 2010

Freckles asked:


Lately, I have been having anxiety attacks a lot. I know the cause. My mind is on overload. I am thinking about stuff that needs to get done, appointments that need to made and kept and all kinds of stuff. For the past month I just can’t seem to clear my mind and I find myself unable to catch my breath, heart racing, light headed and sick to my stomach. I can’t be a bundle of nerves anymore.
What can I do?
