How can i get my Dr. To switch me from klonopin to Valium?

Im currently prescribed klonopin and i was wondering how i can get my doc to switch me to valium. I know valium has more sedating effects so im thinking that telling him i need something more relaxing and calming should do the trick. Thoughts?

Chosen Answer:

First of all, I can tell you with all certainty that your Dr. will not “switch” you to valium. Not sure how long you have been on the Klonopin. No doctor would risk losing his/her license for prescribing Valium under the circumstances that you have described.

What is an easy way to deal with social anxiety?

May 13, 2012 Anxiety Discussion
2 comments

I have a lot of anxiety about going to school everyday because I have social anxiety disorder and it’s very hard to communicate with people and I get nervous that the teacher will call on me and I will get something wrong or say something too quiet. Stuff like that embarrasses me because I’m more shy. I don’t have a lot of friends because I’m not that outgoing and it depresses me. I also have no self confidence whatsoever. Any advice?

Chosen Answer:

Here are a couple of ideas. Check out the sources for more good ideas.

Ponder on things that run inside your mind when you’re having an attack. Instead of thinking about losing control or, even worse, dying, start thinking about positive and happy thoughts, such as assuring or convincing yourself that you’ll soon get out of the situation.

Never think that the panic attack will make your heart stop and will make you stop breathing, or even make you go crazy and lose control. These are common emotional symptoms that are controllable. Again, don’t think about negative things when you’re having an attack. Instead, focus on positive and calming things. You can start by thinking that panic attacks can be treated and that you’ll never die from it.

I think im healthy!! what are my chances of a heart attack? like what can i do to get my anxiety to go away if thats what causin it even though it doesnt seem like it? please help :/
Thanks everyone :)

Chosen Answer:

Not too likely you would have a heart attack at 15.

DO see a doctor though, your symptoms “could” be something other than anxiety and they should check.

The symptoms you described are typical of anxiety though. The best treatment is always to find out what you are anxious about and talk to someone: a relative, friend, school counselor or therapist.

If it’s bad enough, they can prescribe medication for it but it’s best not to have to do that.

Once you recognize the anxiety is not going to harm you or interfere with your life it will usually go away on it’s own.

Keep up your sports. Exercise literally produces chemicals in your body that helps with anxiety.

How can I get rid of this anxiety??? I am trying to do work but I can’t focus. I have this horrible feeling that something bad is going to happen or is happening or that i need to do something. It is soo distracting. ANy help??

Chosen Answer:

I have this feeling all the time.. I try not to let it consume me.. So I just try to pay attention to what I’m doing at the moment. Sometimes it’s like you’re stuck in it.. You can’t get your mind of it.. But seriously try to focus on other tasks at hand.. I had seen a doctor but they made me more annoyed and medicines just made me more irritable.

Anxiety…?

I am a wreck. I can’t sleep at night without calling my Mom at least once and saying, “I love you” a million times. I’m afraid something will happen to me or my family and I not there to say good-bye. I always look out my bedroom window at night to see if anything unusual is in the sky. My mom can’t be out more than two hours without me having to call her (when I stay home alone). I hate this experince! It is very frightening and I have even considered taking prescribtion medicine to wave away those types of thoughts. I have talked numerously to the school counselour, but my mind is no where near ease. I never had this anxiety (disorder) last year. It came from no where! What can I do to clear away my anxiety? (P.S. Last night, I had a dream my Dad got shot and this man walked up and said he died, but then I practically jumped awake).

Chosen Answer:

The good news is that anxiety generally responds VERY well to treatment.

There are a number of ways to go about it, but first – I would suggest you speak with your doctor to work out a plan.

You can do biofeedback, meditation (sounds true has a CD called anxiety relief that is terrific), yoga.

You can work with a cognitive-behavioral therapist who can help you get your thinking on track.

And then, there are a LOT of different meds. Some anti-depressants can be if you’re a teen this may not be the best course. There are anti-anxiety meds and then there is propranalol which inhibits the body from having anxiety reactions – so you may start to feel anxious but when your heart doesn’t race and you don’t get a stomach ache, it stops the chain of anxiety and you’re fine.

Or…you might wind up doing a combination of things. just speak with your doctor. This is totally workable!

Anxiety???

I have really bad anxiety when I go into this one class…because I’m afraid of being embarrassed. I know it sounds really stupid but I think that if I accidentaly drop a book or something that I will turn really red. Part of this is that I don’t have any friends in that class (At ALL. Like not even someone I could ask a pencil from.) so if I do something stupid I can’t make fun of myself.

So I end up worring about being embarrassed and then I think I turn red and its a big cycle. Its really really bad and one time I even got nauseous!

Help! How do I calm down?
is there a way to “think” my way out of it…or something?
but the thing is i dont really care what they think yet i get really nervous anyway

Chosen Answer:

i had the same problem but i turned it all around as soon as i found some friends. if you ever see anybody from your class outside of class, talk to them. you can talk about the class and how hard/easy it is, or about the test you just took or will take. you can also take your time leaving the class once it is over and someone might even start talking to you.

What’s the best way to get your doctor to prescribe Valium?

March 13, 2012 Valium

I find that when I say that I have anxiety, they always try to prescribe me anti-depressants, where I prefer something like Valium that I can just take as needed rather than everyday, however they always seem so worried about prescribing it.

Chosen Answer:

NEEDING it is good….self-medicating/drug-seeking is NOT.

Are there any medications like valium that are available over the counter?

Is there any medication similar to VALIUM that is available over the counter????
I usually need it before I go on the plane, or experience something like Parasailing to calm myself down. Everyone mentions Kava Kava and St. John’s Wort….I think those are more anti-depressants? Correct?

Any information/medications you know o but f? Thank you.

Chosen Answer:

5HTP would be a good natural anti-depressant. But everyone telling you about Kava Kava is spot on the nose. It’s natural valium. I keep it at work with me for bad days (I’m a nurse in a juvenile detention facility), and it calms me right down. Pick up a bottle and try it before your next nerve wracking situation. By the way, parasailing? Isn’t that, like, voluntary? Why would you purposefully enter a situation you know will upset you? If you’re doing it for the adrenaline rush, then DON’T take Kava Kava. You’ll be too relaxed to enjoy the rush!
