Anybody here take anxiety meds that do not interfere with cycling or day to day life to some extent?

Doc gave me Paxil which helps 85% but makes me sleepy, weaker in the gym and a couple other irritating sides that **** with my sessions...

Yeah man, paxil is one of the worst antidepresdants. Ive struggled with anxiety my whole life and the best meds for it were benzos (xanax, valium, klonopin). Unfortunately they r addicting after a while and have muscle relaxant properties which are awful for the gym.

In your situation, I would reccomend either prozac, zoloft, or effexor. As they tend to decrease anxiety and even provide extra energy which can help crush work outs. Good luck

Appreciate it bro...

I'll do some digging..
 
I'll have to talk to my doc about it...

Just looking for something that will improve day to day life without the irritating sides..

Paxil knocks off like 30lbs or so from my big lifts, endurance takes a hit, drive to hit the gym, makes it damn near impossible to ejaculate..
****ty product lol

Thanks Guys...
 
You'd need to order aniracetam, so you could always start with ashawagandha and bacopa as they will be available in your local shops. Dependent on how fast you need it.

Not really a rush, it's not to bad, but it does effect my day to day life..

If I can cure it with natural supps persae that would be better, but the few I've tried haven't provided results..

I'll look into all options..
 
Went on paxil about a year ago and ive been trying to ween myself off for like 2 months now. The **** sucks
 
I've tried a lot of stuff for anxiety but the best thing for me was meditation.
 
Thanks for this info! I have issues with mild anxiety and refuse to take pharmacuetical psychotropics.
This will be thouroghly looked into.

Thanks again!
 
I'm on Lexapro now, was on Celexa for years. Lexapro does fair, but I still have issues..
 
Sigh* I've been so stressed out with everything and it's making my anxiety so bad. I've been trying to meditate but it's not helping me at all. :gun to the head:
 
Just remember guys and gals, it isnt the diagnosis on paper that defines who you are, you define you. Nuff said.

Well im glad to hear that, i have struggled with issues like this my entire life, just remember to make you time. Time where you dont worry aboyt the problems of the world. For me that is work and gym time.
Good music also helps.

Meditating to Joyce Meyer helps me. She's amazing.
 
Lately I just have been laughing at myself and calling myself silly or stupid when I feel anxiety building up. Cause at the end of the day, it is all meaningless... There's always something to look forward to and try to work for so why stress over things that can't be changed. Just deal with it as it comes and learn or move on. This week in particular has been rough for me so yea... I'm just looking forward to trying to make gains at the gym later.

Use cannabis at night, sleep like a baby, and have less anxiety during day. Works for some at least

I would if I wasn't in the Army haha.

Although sometimes I'll wake up with anxiety and I'll just take a shot of juice I know technically it's not supposed to help but some days it's very calming

ashawagandha, bacopa, alpha GPC, and aniracetam. The ultimate anxiolytic stack.

I like Theanine and DLPA with piracetam (i like sunifiram though but piricetam seems to always be near me)

I use choline with the above as well
 
DLPA treated me nice for awhile and then it didn't. It made me edgy after a few weeks. Tyrosine does the same, but I though I could get around that.
 
No need, I have a very good protocol set up. I do enjoy 5-htp from time to time, though. I only experimented with tyrosine and dlpa, but they aren't for me.
 
I talked to my doc casually about sometimes not sleeping and he discussed options of scripts, but I told him outside of TRT I'm not interested at this point. I go to pick up my test last week and there are two scripts ready for pickup. I said no, just one and she hands me the second one for 250 tabs of trazadone! The kicker is that there were no charges. Pretty scary how easy these are dispensed.
