治疗焦虑的药物
你在决定是否使用药物治疗焦虑吗?
今天,我们要加入美国心理协会心理健康博客派对,试图减少耻辱感,提高公众对心理健康问题的意识。焦虑的药物决定是否用药物治疗你的焦虑是很重要的问题!
很多人问我什么时候推荐决定使用毒品管理他们或他们孩子的焦虑症状.我不能给出建议,因为我不是医学博士,但我确实有意见!
做出这一决定的最好方法是权衡服用药物的风险和好处。要做到这一点,您需要收集一些基本信息。
哪些药物可以治疗焦虑?
治疗焦虑最常用的药物是选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂也被称为“抗抑郁药”。像百忧解、Lexapro和Zoloft这样的ssri类药物需要几周的时间才能开始起作用,许多人都有很大的运气。对一些人来说,在服用抗抑郁药的前几周,焦虑会加剧,但之后会缓解。
SSRIs已经存在了60年,被认为比其他类型的抗抑郁药副作用更少。
另一种药物叫做苯二氮卓类药物,它在服用后几乎立即起作用,缓解焦虑。这些药物包括阿普唑仑(阿普唑仑),安定(地西泮),氯硝西泮(氯硝西泮)和安定(劳拉西泮)抗焦虑药物清单在这里。这些药物通过减缓大脑活动在15分钟内起作用。请不要用这些药品驾驶车辆!
所有这些药物都有一些副作用,每个人的表现都不同。(停用时一定要咨询医生。)虽然它们有一般的工作方式,但每个人的感觉都不一样。人们通常会通过反复试验找到适合自己的方法。跟你的医生谈谈吧!
记住:药物并不能治愈焦虑
只是缓解症状而已如果焦虑的风险很高(你不能正常工作,离开家,或者想死),药物可能是一个很好的方法来缓解焦虑,这样你就能缓解焦虑。此外,如果需要的话,知道你有抗焦虑的药物可以服用,可以带走一些对焦虑的恐惧。所以不管你是否接受它,它的存在都是有帮助的。
化学失衡神话
制药公司想让我们相信,我们大脑中的化学物质不平衡,我们需要药物,就像糖尿病人需要胰岛素一样。这是一种营销策略。它在减少羞耻感方面做了很大的工作,但也让人们认为他们无法靠自己摆脱焦虑。
事实上,我们大脑中的化学物质每时每刻都在不断变化,根据我们的情绪和身体对刺激的反应而变化。“平衡”是一个相对的词。是的,这些药物作用于这种化学物质,在大多数情况下改善我们的情绪,但我们也可以通过我们的思想、营养和行动来改变我们的大脑化学物质。
也有治疗焦虑的草药补充剂你可能想要考虑做一些其他的活动帮助你摆脱焦虑。

我离婚后就开始焦虑了。今天我的焦虑是迄今为止最严重的。我连开车都不能去商店上班就更糟了。即使我告诉医生我焦虑的情况,她还是给我开了阿普唑仑。我需要一些能让我冷静下来但同时又能开车的东西。请帮我找点东西。
嘿。我是个百分百不服用人工合成药物的小孩。诊断为精神分裂症,有非常严重的阳性症状和同样可怕的阴性症状。以下是我控制抑郁的方法,这是我的消极症状之一。你可能不得不买一个为儿童生产的品牌,因为成人品牌往往不过滤汞,你肯定想要一个无汞的产品。2)复合维生素。吃一些富含铁、维生素D和镁的食物。如果你超重,一个健康的体重会帮助你。如果你不是,运动仍然会释放内啡肽。就我个人而言,当我最糟糕的时候,我会用抽认卡练习瑜伽,(这是我不能离开家的时候)拳击,在音乐频道(通常是摇滚,但我认为任何你开心时喜欢听的节奏好的音乐都会起作用)的时候做开合跳。 I also go running, when I'm not as bad, usually in a forest on warm days or at a beach on cold days, somewhere where I'll be alone with nature and my ipod. 4) Music. I mentioned the music channel & ipod above, but I also blare Queen, Bowling for Soup, Blink-182 and the All-American Rejects (aka nobody who sings about death, depression, suicide, sadness, or has a downbeat - less than 4/4 - track) and I HATE IT. It makes me MAD and MAD is better than depressed. It is more productive. ;]5) I force myself to do things I enjoy when I'm happy. I take a shower with the nice smelling soap and warm my towels on the radiator, I watch the funny episodes of Firefly and my favourite films and read magazines and This Book Will Save Your Life (A.M Homes - it's my favourite book). And if that sucks, I do the laundry and hoover. For me what works is just keeping moving. Then even if my whole day sucks and I can't bear it, the next day I can wake up to something good I've done and maybe feel better for it - or I have fond memories of my favourite movie etc.6) My favourite one - I read a book I've written. It's a big old book that I bought ages ago and when I'm happy, I write things I like in the book. Stupid stuff like, Xander from Buffy, and the sound from line arrays, and Diamond 4's, and sherbert lemons, and Harry Potter 1, and Gandhi quotes, things that have no consequence. If I'm only mildly down, it can get me back up.7) Meditation. Just sit quietly and concentrate on not concentrating on anything. If that makes sense. Don't allow yourself to have thoughts. Let your only thought be the thought that stops you thinking about anything. It sounds complex but you probably get my meaning. I like to meditate either in the dark in my room but the sunlight is good for depression so I force myself to sit in the middle of the living room with all the shades open in the sunlight. Therapy. Not from a councillor - from a psychologist, in particular a psychologist who is a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist - these people are like GOLDDUST. They will teach you how to get through your worst moments and help you tailor your recovery techniques to your own personality. Plus, they're also usually really cool not-up-themselves people. Interview a few different psych's if you can, and if they're in an office and wearing a suit, don't bother. Find someone who wears jeans and listens to the music you like and likes the TV shows you like, so you geniunely like their company and that way, you'll get a lot more out of your time with them - it'll be more friendly and less clinical. And that in itself will lift your mood.Please bear in mind that the most important thing to have to get over depression without meds is psychological resilience. You need to be the type of depressed person who says, this sucks, but I WILL GET THROUGH THIS. I WILL NOT GIVE UP.. I WILL FORCE MYSELF THROUGH THIS. If you're prone to giving up (I am not saying this is something to be ashamed of, it's just something to be honest about - I understand fully that being a can't-be-f*cking-bothered/don't-want-to-can't-make-me depressive is horrific and not something the depressive can help) you may have to come to terms with the fact that you may need a low dosage of meds (Citalopram is good in low doses) to get you through, and you may have to rely more heavily on therapy. Either way, get a CBT and remember you are not alone, and you should never give up on yourself.'When all you've got to keep is strong, move along. And even when your hope is gone, move along.'Good luck. Was this answer helpful?

“SSRIs已经存在了60年,被认为几乎没有副作用。(这是相对于其他药物有更多的副作用。)??????根据哪些人,哪些药物与之相比副作用更大?抗抑郁药都有明显的副作用,有些是严重的,可能会导致停药后持续存在的健康问题(例如,引发躁狂),有些是危及生命的(例如,自杀风险增加)。这并不是说任何人都不应该服用这些药物,但它们已经被过度使用了,人们不应该被潜在的风险误导。
Joanne,
我同意他们开得太多了。你误解我了,我们说的其实是一回事。我说的是,很多医生都吹嘘它们“副作用小”。我想让大家知道这是相对的。这并不是说它们的副作用小,而是说与化疗等副作用大的药物相比。所以它们可能会有危险的副作用,但按照西医标准,这是很低的。我想说的是,这对一个人来说意义不大,因为副作用可能是高风险的,所以每个人都必须自己权衡风险。我告诉他们不要被风险误导。
非常感谢你的评论,它告诉我,我必须在我的交付!

关于焦虑的说教和挑衅的文章就是上面写的。我稳定的精神病学工作展示了许多真实性的建议,这些建议在这个重大的观察中以简单易懂的方式得到了发展。的确,焦虑的药物治疗表明主要的精神治疗,但如果患者不改变其日常功能,则会产生许多后果。首先,每位精神科医生都应该向各自的焦虑患者全面解释焦虑障碍的成因和发展途径。在服用抗焦虑药物的同时,有必要建议患者改变一些生活方式,以帮助克服常见的生活力量和困难。如果没有这些心理社会干预,精神药理学治疗的结果将在某种程度上是一种精神药物成瘾。
非常感谢Jodi的这篇文章。这是一个我需要更多了解的主题,因为尽管我从30多年前就开始服用药物,但除了2007年的一次严重复发外,我从来没有服用过足够长的时间。从2007年开始,我换了医生,换了治疗方法,尝试了各种不同的药物。从圣诞节开始,我就逐渐停止了。我把这个决定当作对医生告诉我的事情的一种反应(批评我的感受,告诉我像我这样聪明的人不应该感到沮丧),我不后悔这个决定,尽管我对此感到有点内疚。我既没有感觉更好,也没有感觉更糟。这篇文章让我从内疚中解脱出来,因为我确实用其他很多东西代替了药物,这些东西对我的帮助更好。<3
