Does anyone know of a really low dose of meds for anxiety and constant worry?


Question:
I don't want anything strong or that has to keep being increased. I just want something to take the edge off and make me stop worrying.

Valium 5mg...it will help relax your mind..i take it before bed every night and it helps me i don't think its as habit forming either as some people say..Otherwise try amitryptilene that's another medication that i take to relax my mind it also helps me sleep because i am constant pain. Amitryptelene is the 25mg.so ask your doctor or therapist and they should be able to help you out...However if you looking for something over the counter try herbal tea like peppermint and they also make a stress tea that helps for worriers...and you can try st. john wart it's a herbal vitamin that helps with stabilizing your mood...well i hope this helps cause i know what it's like to be a constant worrier..i worry all the time and i just tell myself that it is better to hope than to worry.good luck!take care
"relax now" its a product by Herbalife.
Lorazepam, and Kolinipin worked for me they are generally weak but very very effective medications.but be careful because any anxiety med can be addictive
The only thing that will get you to stop worrying is to work through whatever it is that has you so upset that you think you need medication. Medication is like a band aid for a gunshot wound. If you are constantly worried, something in your life needs to be dealt with---not hiding behind a pill or two. Medication is ONLY meant to help you while you are in counseling.
HI I would suggest trying an SSRI (like fluoxetine or citalopram) These drugs at low doses will ease your anxiety and are pretty good with side effects. They take 4-6 weeks to kick in so I would also recommend a fast acting anxiolitic like diazapam in the mean time.
Well I've been taking Celexa. That's for depression, anxiety and constant worry. Believe me, constant worry almost did me in. Psych and Dr. both said to try Celexa at the time. I'm on 40mg, but you only probably need 10mg. I had to gradual build up to 40, but your anxiety and worry may only need 10. But it can always be put up in 5mg degrees. It takes a week or so for you to feel the effects, depending on your body chemistry but, it did wonders for me. Definately ask your doctor if he thinks it's ok or he may have something else even milder to try. I would say don't waste time with all those herbal remedies, it takes way too long to take effect. Good luck!
yes it,s called seroquel Benn on it for nine year,s since i had five by passe,s work,s great.
effexor @ 37.5, takes bout a week b-4 you can real diffrence..i've been using it bout 1 yr does fine 4 me...IS
Try Fluoxetine 20 mgs capsules BRR.
It's cheap and your doctor will write out a rx for that if you suggest it to him, otherwise you are going to get a higher price med that does the same thing. Drug companies push their drugs through your doctor who in returns writes Rx's out for newer medication that costs out of this world.
I take Seroquel. It is used for bipolar disorder, but is also very helpful with anxiety.

I only take 25mg. That's a pretty small dose, but when I take nothing, I really notice a difference. The anxiety comes back full blast. (Not fun at all)!!

Good luck.
