Starting meds for anxiety and depression

[RG1]

Hi everyone

So I have been diagnosed with GAD and depression...something that I've experienced for about 5 years. I somehow managed without meds before, however recently due to my panic attacks and the intensity of my anxiety, my psychiatrist has given me Venlor 37.5 as a loading dose. And Alzam to act as a tranquilizer. I'm a bit apprehensive to start the Venlor 75mg and I'm already experiencing the side effects. For a 20 year old who is already underweight, I just am scared(as usual) about taking meds. If any one you have taken these, please could you give me some advice on how to go about this?

Keep taking the tranquelizer until the ven kicks in. It can take months to feel better. Some feel better in a few weeks. It just depends on your body chemistry

Hi, I'm not familiar with those meds but when i started on citalopram it initially made me feel worse for the 1st few weeks maybe a month. But once it levels out i've found it helps me out over all.

Hang in there :)
