Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Anxiety Meds? Birtha

I take Ativan.. I have done the Xanax ( too sleepy and Lorazepam also too sleepy) this seems to take the edge off with no side effects. I take 1 mg before bed does help me sleep and 1/2 milligram as neeeded up to 3 times during the day. I take it particularlly if I am going to help calm my nerves. I was on Paxil 2 times.. and I think it did wonders for me however I will never unfourtunatly go on it again for fear of the withdrawl I did the withdrwal properly too and it was months on Agony , Brain zaps Nausea etc. There are lawsuits for it and I may be elligeble for the horror I wnet through. I would totally use it again if I knew that I woudlnt have the horrible before and after side effects. I did Lexapro with hardly any side effects but some weight gain.
