hi, i havent been on any meds for a long time as they make me throw up. this week i am going to go to the doctors and ask to be put on phenelzine[nardil] for my anxiety, ive just got a new job and have a new boyfriend and am finding meeting new people through these situations a very hard overwhelming thing. if i dont take meds i think i may give up the boyfriend and the job and become a hermit again and i really dont want that to happen.

is anyone on this drug? how has it helped? pease could you let me know, thanks, love donnax

Aug 10 2008, 8:59 am hi donna havnt been on the meds you talk about but have tried similar most of which do make you feel ill, which is not helpful if you have anxiety as you tend to then worry over side effects, unfortunately most meds do have side effects im sure doc can fill you in. in my experience the best medicine is to try and work through life and the problems that it brings.it would be sad if you have to give up job and boyfriend up because of your anxiety,best thing is to be upfront and explain to people how you feel you might be sorprised by their reaction take care tina x

Aug 10 2008, 8:07 am Donna, I have not taken the med you are trying to go on, but I am with you on the other meds they all make me very sick when I am prescribed them. The only med I take now is xanax as needed for moments when I feel I need them. I maybe only take 1/2 pill to take off the edge. if that don't work I take the rest of the pill. Don't give up maybe there is something for us to take that won't make us sick. let me know how it goes. The thryoid doctor wants me to ask my regular doctor for Buspar? Not sure -he told me it was probably the one that won't my stomach upset from it.
