Anti anxiety meds

Post Reply New Topic

Anybody here on anti anxiety medication? Does it work? I smoked hash this evening and it stripped all my anxiety and neurosis away. Now if I could find a medication to do that for me I would consider taking it. Im on an anti psychotic now, but it doesnt take anxiety and depression away. Im not sure if any medication would work as good as hash.

So is there anyone here that has taken both hash and anti anxiety meds? Which in your opinion works better?

Thats a really debated question. But, the effects of every drug, such as a medication or recreational, variate from person to person. Thats is due the fact every persons neurochemestry is different, just as their methabolism. And by all means, every drug has side effects. Many of them, i felt, and right now, i'm trying a more psychological aproach. The fact is u defitely should reseach both medical effects os marijuana, such as the meds, and be sure u mention this to ur health professional, because like all substances, some must never be mixed, and u cant now that for yourself. But be prepared to the judgmental vision of the health professionals towards MJ. There's really no manual, u just have to ajust what is better for u, and the most viable option in terms of it benefits, as well as aspects of continum use of medication and drugs in general. But personally, MJ is know for have medicinal properties. Even tough, some researchers give enfasis on the fact it may have a rol in triggering psychosis. But all medications i took along the years, when u look deeper into side effects, also may cause that, wich is bizarre, because they suppose to prevent. Anyways u shoud have a consistant observation of your behavior and patters, and have it all noted for making the proprer comparations, and then u, with the help of right medical care, may decide whats its best for you.

I never tried hash but I've been on a few meds that can help with anxiety. The med I found that helps the most is Buspar. It's specially for anxiety & can be taken with lots of other psych meds. You have to be on it regularly thou in order to notice benefit. It won't help your depression thou unless anxiety is the cause but it may help an antidepressant work a tad better.
There's also benzodiazepines which are meds like Xanax, Valium, & Klonopin. They can be taken short-term or occasionally as needed. You can build up a tolerance taking them regularly long-term. They're good for stopping panic attacks or if taken in or before anxiety provoking situations. I take Klonopin when I'm ready to leave the house if I may be taking a crowded bus.
The meds that tend to be used the most for anxiety are antidepressants. I've been on a few antidepressants & they didn't really help my anxiety but some help anxiety better than others.

I'm on Xanax (1 mg as needed). It works for me without any side effects.

I very occasionally take lorazepam 0.5 mg when the anxiety gets too crippling. But I am lucky and have no addictive tendencies and no urge to take medications when not needed.

I'm not on anything at the moment, but I'll ask those in the know: Are doctors more hesitant to prescribe prescription drugs these days with the whole "Opioid Crisis" thing?

Also, what's the difference between hashish and regular marijuana?

My girlfriend is prescribed that for occasionally as needed but she doesn't like to take it very often. I sometimes have to push her to take it when she's feeling anxious & she later thanks me because it helped. She's also prescribed Klonopin but it's only to help relax her mussels(she has fibromyalgia) & to help her sleep so she only takes it when going to bed. She never takes Klonopin if she took a Lorazepam during the day or if she thinks she might be taking one the next morning.

Benzos used no more than twice a week or CBD oil for anxiety is what I'd suggest. If hash works for you then use that.

Cannabis definitely works better.
