Asking For Self, Male, 20 Years old, Lahore
Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out to this community in hopes of gaining some insights and advice regarding my ongoing struggle with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), particularly with finding the right medication.
Over the past several months, I've been on a journey with various antidepressants, including Sertraline, Cymbalta, and Lexapro (Escitalopram). I dedicated about 12 weeks each to Sertraline and Cymbalta, but had to stop them due to excessive fatigue. Lexapro was tried for about a week but led to the same issue.
My doctor has suggested Vortioxetine and Anafranil as alternatives, but I am apprehensive as I've read about similar fatigue side effects. The only drug that didn’t cause fatigue was Wellbutrin, but it increased my anxiety and caused constipation and nausea.
The main struggle I have with my GAD is persistent jaw pain and headaches. These symptoms have been particularly challenging to manage, and they significantly impact my daily life.
I'm seeking advice or experi

its good to see your insight about your issue..but why you started medicine instead of psychotheraputic treatment?? but for now don't skip medicine by your own..firstly start psychotheraputic treatment and with that your therapist make plan and will guide you how to leave
Looking at your case as you mentioned about persistent jaw pain indicates that you are having panic attacks and headaches indicate that you have racing thoughts so for both symptoms you need to take medication but keep your psychiatrist well informed about your condition. For anxiety you need to work on it with the support of psychologist because there are many reasons behind anxiety and when reason is well known that treatment and management become easier. You can consult me I am available

please consult psychiatrist for management of medication, I suggest to seek psychological help like CBT from a clinical psychologist for symptoms management. Medication along with psychotherapy is most effective for management of GAD.

medication will only subside the pain, however if you want to work the emotional wounds which is causing GRNERALIZED Anxiety than you need to start therapy to put marham on these wounds.
