Hello Ysasa

 

There is a multitude of medication for anxiety on the market but what I want to point out to you is that for one thing you should never ask for that kind of advise on the internet, for one thing the person who would give you that kind of information is shurely not a proffessional it would be contrary to the ethic code, even if a doctor should answer you wich you cant verify by the way...this again would be dangerous because they wouldnt be a evaluation of your case.

So no good Doctor would do that.

If I was you I would go in to see a Doctor to have a proper evaluation done I hope that my reply as help you

Hi Ysasa, I take rivotril 2 mg daily as I have been diagnosed for the last 15 years with Dystonia. You will need to secure an appointment with a good neurologist before you decide on trying different medications. Im lucky as I dont get any side effects and rivotril really helps when the muscles go into spasms in the neck and upper back area. It can be very painful and sometime I up the dosage but try to stick within the limit. Dystonia is not very well known about and each country is trying to set up its own Dystonia help information centre. I am not a medic but somehow I think you need to be prescribed with a different drug for panic attacks.

I see this enquiry came about in 2009 and no doubt you must have been prescribed by now. Wish you the the best of health for 2012 onwards. Regards

Eva
