Does anybody know of any anxiety medication (besides benzos and other addictive drugs) that does not affect blood sugar?

I'm hypoglycemic and can't have any anti-depressants that stimulate my pancreas. It looks like the wellbutrin isn't going to work out so I'm thinking it looks like I may be screwed.

I'm not sure johnrambo, I take wellbutrin and abilify. Do you have a good doctor? Why won't the wellbutrin work?

sounds like you need to talk to your Dr, John

I'm not completely sure if it will or will not, I started taking it and it felt like it was working then I stopped noticing a difference. How long before you started to feel it and how long before it kicked in full effect?

Thanks, I have an appointment with him Monday. Until then I wanted to ask around and see if anybody may have had a similar situation as mine, that way I could ask the doc about a suggested med maybe.

You may want to consider the most effective non-med treatment: CBT. It has helped me immensely and I still do the TEA form exercise regularly and they still keep sane and mostly anxiety free.

Somebody else mentioned "TEA" where can I find more on this? I'm interested in doing both meds and CBT.

Believe me I'm conservative with meds but I think in my case it could be beneficial.

John,

I just sent you a note on another thread inquiring as to if you found CBT help in Columbus? Sorry I never saw your reply and question here before today?
The TEA forms are a CBT exercise that is really basic, but also very effective. I learned about it in the book by Sam Obitz entitled Been there, done that? DO This!

Hope this finds you feeling a lot better

Hi John,
