Re: Start with a low dose

What it appears to me is that the key symptom that you are referring to JJyankee is anxiety (aka stress). Anything that is a catecholamine agonist (e.g. stimulant or non stimulant) will increase this possibility. As always, first try non medical strategies to reduce your anxiety. IF that is insufficient, then look at a short corse of a benzodiazepene like Ativan (lorazepam) to see if that chills you out. If it does, then relook at the SSRI’s. If you have tried these, maybe a MAOI might be useful. See your doc.

Always speak to your doctor or before making any changes to medications. Dr. Jain provides advice generically and not for any one person. Advice does not constitute a therapeutic relationship or promise of care. Please consult the privacy policy for more information
