I have been experiencing anxiety attacks EVERY morning thanks to postpartum OCD. I was prescribed Zoloft which made me have suicidal thoughts. The ER prescribed me Ativan after going in after a panic attack. That medication really helped me. I took it first thing in the morning as soon as the anxiety started and was able to live my day normally. Are there any other medications that DRs will actually prescribe that work like Ativan? Over time ive had, Effexor, Zoloft, Luvox, Geodon, Paxil, Abilify, Xanax ( too strong ) and Seroquel. Nothing has helped me except the Ativan. I need help
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Why should you talk about other medicines when you can overcome this so called postpartum OCD with other techniques such as psychotherapy and relaxation. These methods have proven track records. Over and above, anxiety disorders are seldom cured with medications. Psychotherapy helps alter your lifestyle and relaxation techniques alter your metabolism which acts positively. For anxiety, you should learn to counter that situation instead of living with it. Take my word for it. And start the treatment I suggested, along with medicines for the time being. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
