I have had Anxiety Disorder for as long as I can remember. I've just been given Xanax for when I have a panic attack, they last me a very long time. I dont "abuse" them.
But my Anxiety Disorder got a lot worse after my Kidney Transpant, and I am also a VERY manic person, and now its gone from being called Manic Depressent to Bi-Polar.
I'm on Lamictal and Time release Seroquil for my "Manic-ness" and Anxiety. I also take Xanax XR in the morning to last throughout the day. Then Xanax when I have a panic attack. I'm OCD, so I can get thrown into a panic attack if the picture on the wall isnt straight, or if there is something that has an odd number of items on it. I cant focus on anything, which is probably just how I've always been
I'm tired of the long term drugs I'm on, I never used to be on anything except for Xanax when I would have a panic attack, because since I have Lupus, and a Kidney Transplant and R.A [which is now in remission] I want to get off all the Psych meds and do that naturally, I know I HAVE to stay on the stuff for my Kidney. Which is fine by me.
But sometimes I think the Psych meds make me worse and flip out more.
I take Stress B vitamins, and I also take Pre-Natal Vitamins. Any suggestions on other Vitamins or Natural things I can do and take so I can get off all of those medications? I feel that I dont really need them, but in some areas, like my mood swings, I still need something natural to help me.
I was wondering if there any herbal supliments that you can use instead of all of the freaking medications.
Xanax XR-4mg in the morning
Xanax-3mg as needed
Lamictal-200mg
Seroquil-600mg XR
I use everything else that is all Natural, aka: Makeup, Toothpaste, Body Wash, Etc.
I want to see what would be okay to take that is Natural with me having a Kidney Transplant, my meds there are:
Prograf
Labatalol {sp}
Predizone 5mg
Myfortic
Thanks
