What should I do if I keep taking medicine for anxiety and feel a sense of uneasiness?

I am not a professional psychology-related public account, nor am I a doctor. I am just a person who has experienced anxiety disorders. I want to tell you about my experience. Some time before I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and asked to take medicine, I was worried about it, so I didn’t take it. Later, my symptoms of anxiety worsened. After that, I continued to take medicine, and nothing happened that I was worried about, and there were no obvious side effects. There is no drug dependence either. In fact, anxiety disorder is just like taking medicine when we have a fever and cold. We are not worried about taking other medicines. On the one hand, there are many people suffering from this disease and these medicines have been verified by many people. However, there are few patients with anxiety disorder. We Little accumulated experience. On the other hand, anxiety disorders themselves can also make us uneasy, not just when we take medicine, but also in other aspects of anxiety. My suggestion is to find a regular hospital and an experienced doctor. Once diagnosed, take medicine with peace of mind. In addition, on the one hand, don't be anxious, we take our time and we will overcome it one day; on the other hand, we need to find an outlet for negative emotions, and exercise is a very good way.

I have been taking medicine for anxiety, but I still have a feeling of uneasiness. I don’t know what kind of medicine you are taking? Have you gone to the hospital for formal diagnosis and treatment, and are you taking the medicine according to the doctor's instructions? Anxiety, which is what we often call palpitation, is probably because your anxiety symptoms are not under control. Although anxiety symptoms are generally not severe enough to seriously affect daily life, we have to admit that it is difficult to relieve anxiety symptoms quickly, and even more Most of them improve slowly through self-psychological adjustment.

Anxiety disorders are actually somewhat different from many other mental disorders. Social and psychological factors may account for a greater proportion of the causes, and many patients with anxiety disorders often have obvious personality foundations. That is to say, I used to be a person who was easily anxious and angry. I was easily nervous and worried too much when things happened, which often caused me to toss and turn and stay awake all night. Therefore, in my opinion, anxiety certainly has its biochemical factors, but when it comes to the essence of anxiety disorders, I still prefer psychological issues.

For example, for the same thing, many people with the same personality, the same age, and the same level have completely different experiences. If you are a student and you have a final exam tomorrow, some people will be nervous. Some people are not nervous at all when they can't sleep at night, and some people are nervous, but apart from reading books repeatedly and going to bed on time, there is no other impact. In layman's terms, "exams" don't have the attribute of severe anxiety for me, but may have the attribute of "anxiety" for others, and may have the attribute of "anxiety" for you so severe that you can't sleep, so the problem lies in your psychological problem.

Medication treatment will definitely improve anxiety. Generally, we choose SSRI antidepressant drugs to treat anxiety. Of course, we can also use the simple anti-anxiety drug buspirone hydrochloride. Although I also say that anxiety is a psychological problem and can be adjusted by oneself, anxiety will feel difficult and painful after all, so there is no need to force the anxiety, which will only aggravate the patient's painful experience. The best way is to control anxiety and painful experience with the correct medication. At the same time, we should actively carry out psychological treatment, adjust the anxious mentality, let nature take its course, do what we should, learn to accept changes, and accept the facts of anxiety.

Anxiety disorder is not a psychological problem at all, nor is there a problem of being unable to get out. Anxiety disorder is a problem with the human brain and nerves, which requires medication. It is impossible to rely on a psychiatrist to treat it.

This feeling of uneasiness is a symptom of anxiety disorder. At the heart of anxiety disorders is a conflict of the mind.

Anxiety disorder is a kind of negative emotion. Turn this negative emotion into positive emotion, turn your heart towards positive energy, and disconnect from the entanglement with negative energy, and you will be fine. I studied well at Happy Life Academy.

Anxiety disorder is a mental illness. As the saying goes, heart disease requires careful medical treatment. Medication is one aspect. Your own factors are very important. If you can’t let go or think about it, it will be difficult for others to save you. You have to know that 90% of what you worry about will not happen, and the other 10% is something you can’t decide! Life is less than a hundred years old, but I always worry about a thousand years old! Why do you think so much? If your mind is too big, everything will become too small! A lot of anxiety comes from worrying that you can’t do it. In fact, if you can do it, you must do it!

You can also consider the following non-therapeutic methods:

1. Fantasy: This is a good way to relieve tension and anxiety.

Imagine yourself lying on a sun-drenched beach, with the cool sea breeze blowing. Give it a try, you may have unexpected results.

2. Affirm yourself: When anxiety strikes, you can tell yourself repeatedly, "There is no problem" and "I can handle it." This will gradually eliminate your instinctive reactions of accelerated breathing and cold sweat on your hands, so that you can Your intelligent responses gradually become apparent. As a result, you really calmed down.

3. Laugh: Don’t hold yourself back in life. Laugh when you want to laugh. Never control yourself because of suppressed emotions. Laughing can reduce the body’s hormones and adrenaline, and can increase body immunity. You can read joke books, watch comedy movies, and recall interesting things from your childhood... This effect can last for 24 hours. Studies have shown that when you anticipate laughing, your anxiety begins to ease.

4. Crying: Crying is good because the secretion of tears can promote the normal metabolism of cells, but you should cry softly.

5. Deep breathing: Deep breathing can ease the emotional reaction that is about to burst out and relax the whole body. Take deep breaths from the abdomen about 6 times per minute, that is, inhale for 5 seconds and exhale for 5 seconds. After a few deep breaths, you can straighten your shoulders and relax your muscles. This breathing rhythm is consistent with the natural 10-second cycle of blood pressure fluctuations. This synchronization not only calms people down, but is also beneficial to the health of the cardiovascular system.

6. Music: Many people like to relax their mood through music. In fact, this is a very good way. When you are in a bad mood, you can listen to some classical music and light music, which can relieve your mood. The mood is to avoid being too excited.

7. Physical exercise: including jogging, swimming, Tai Chi, kite flying, etc., are all effective ways to reduce anxiety. As long as you choose one or two kinds and stick to them for a long time, you will know what you want to do most when you need to vent

A friend who suffered from anxiety once told me about his psychological feelings when he was taking medicine. , he said: He couldn't bear it without taking medicine, but after taking medicine, there was always a voice deep in his heart saying to him, isn't it so sad that your life has to rely on these small pills to maintain it.

I don’t know if your anxiety is hiding similar thoughts for him. If so, relax, face your symptoms, and believe that these symptoms come in stages. With aggressive treatments and adjustments, there comes a time when they are no longer needed.

I have been engaged in psychological counseling for so many years. Friends have always asked me if I am depressed and anxious. Should I take medicine or what should I do?

Let me first explain to you how depression and anxiety come from the perspective of instinctive psychology? Depression and anxiety are both a series of adverse emotional and behavioral physiological reactions caused by individuals encountering major difficulties in reality or in their hearts and being unable to get out of them. In other words, anxiety has sources of anxiety, which are life events that cause anxiety, so we must solve this problem. To solve problems, we must start with dilemmas. Dilemmas are often caused by misperceptions. Therefore, we need to understand what happened through conversations, analyze the deviations in thinking and cognitive concepts, and correct these deviations to get rid of anxiety.

Taking medicine can stabilize the temporary mood, but it has no effect on the predicament, so you can’t just take medicine, but you must also receive one-on-one psychological counseling from a professional psychological teacher like me.

Anxiety disorders are sometimes beyond your control. People who are worried, panicked, depressed, and tortured are worse off than dead. But you still have to adjust your mentality yourself. Others can't do anything about this symptom. You can only rely on you. Have a strong will to overcome it, maybe time is the best medicine, and you will get better slowly.

Feeling anxious and uneasy, like someone is chasing after you, is a symptom of poor kidney health in traditional Chinese medicine. The kidneys and the urinary and reproductive organs are mutually external and internal, the liver governs emotions, and the liver meridian circulates around the genitals, and there are symptoms of anxiety. Therefore, most female patients with anxiety disorder are caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency and qi stagnation and blood stagnation caused by chronic gynecological and urinary inflammation. This kind of Western medicine treatment is very ineffective. You should consider seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The above is a personal opinion, don’t spray it!
