Diphenhydramine (DPH), hydroxyzine & other non-GABA anxiolytics

i always feel a little weird when i take anti-histamines. i feel like the pills get stuck in my throat thus causing my stomach to become "upset" .......again i recommend getting a gabapentin/lyrica script. they are literally the easiest things to get, and gabapentin isn't even a scheduled drug in the US. i would suggest going to your GP or psych and telling them about your symptoms, but leave out the pot use because they will most likely blame your symptoms on smoking.

they will most likely throw SSRI's as a suggestion such as paxil, effexor, zoloft, ect... you can try these and they do sometimes work for people. however, for me they didn't do shit and only gave me rebound symptoms such as anal leakage and decreased libido (lmfao never taking those drugs again). after they offer you (insert SSRI here) and you do not wish to try the SSRI, just tell them you don't like the side effects and simply just ask for some lyrica or gabapentin lmfao. they will most likely say OK because it is a newer drug (with no generic :( ) and most people don't abuse lyrica. but let me tell you, it is fully abusable!! im on 400mgs right now and i can't seem to stop talking. i started talkign to the wall and starred out the window jus ttalking to myself hahahahaha...good luck man, i hope you find something that will help your anxiety!!

that is a side effect, but i really like it- the talk-a-tiveness that is! it is great for SAD because i just keep rambling on and i never "over-analyze" my problems when im on lyrica. that is my problem, i over-analyze ever single fucking thing in my life, my actions, my mistakes, conversations in the past, and situations that could possibly happen in the future...it fucking blows! feels like im listening to a broken record player !!! i just want to escape my head!! shut my fucking mind up!! but not on lyrica, i love this shit, its a great anxiolytic!

but if you suspect smoking pot is truely causing your anxiety, i suggest taking a 1-2 week break to see if it is just "Reefer Madness" aahahaha...if you still are anxious after those weeks you could assume it isnt your pot and you do have anxiety problems...
 
Be careful with Lyrica. Tolerance increases really fast. The first 8 weeks I was getting real high on Lyrica, didn't even have to abuse it but a little after that the effects started to go away, even when I took like 3 grams of the stuff. The feeling will never come back unless I take a break from it. For at least a week. As of right now the magic is gone but it is still a great anxiolytic. Its anti-anxiety effects don't go away but if I want to get high, I'll need to take a break for a week or so.
 
Nah not after a high at all, I get that from the once-a-month oxy relax day I give myself.

Something other than benzos with less side effects and less withdrawals - Lyrica sounds perfect. Seems to be on the Rx list here so big plus. Will see my doc next week. Much appreciated guys.

I highly recommend you do that. Its also real helpful for nerve pain, muscle pain, RLS & insomnia
 
Okay, saw my doctor today and he gave me two sample packs each with 14 x 75mg Lyrica. Ate one before I went to work at around 1pm. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the low dose - simply wanted to try for any side effects really. Didn't kick in until about 3pm, after which all I can say is WOW.

I have a low tolerance for most drugs, and this really kicked in nicely. Very nice euphoria - lasted a good 4 hours. Just got home - 10:30pm and I still feel very relaxed, no anxiety at all and muscles completely at ease. From my previous drug experiences it felt a little similar to mixture of MDMA, Oxycontin and Alcohol at once. Of course I'm not expecting this euphoria to keep going, as long as the anxiolytic effects stay I'll be happy. Though I do see this week as being quite pleasurable :D

Thanks for the recommendation, seems so much better than the benzo's.
