Anti-anxiety meds - Lemmygrad

cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8842228 [https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8842228] > I take Abilify, Guanfacine (at night), Sertraline (Zoloft), and Vyvanse (ADHD med). > > I did not realize that none of these deal with or combat my anxiety, at least not directly. None of these are, say, like Xanax or any of the other meds like it. > > And all these years too while my anxiety has festered. Abject fear. Dread. And agitation. > > I am going to have to ask my psychiatrist about this. Apparently, there is also medication dealing directly with OCD. Again, nobody told me this and nobody out me on this. But I could have used it all this time. > > I am going to try and lower my antidepressants because those make me feel tired. But the anti-anxiety meds are stuff that I need, pronto.

But I am interested in the current development of diseases and I try to get flu shots every now and then, despite my family looking askance at that.

Just a few extra hours to travel by train from #Glasgow to Utrecht after attending #AMEE2023, a large-scale conference on #healthprofessionseducation #HPE Met many old friends (such as @vhmdale) and got acquainted with new ones. It is such a dynamic field. Our pre-conference, on adapting to different cultures, was received well. Plans for next year activities related to #lifelonglearning #CPD are in brainstorming stage already 😀
