How Effective Is Hydromet In Treating Anxiety?
Question: I suffer from high anxiety, I was prescribed citalopram which has worked wonders for long term relief but the Klonopin I was prescribed for fast acting when I need it relief doesn't work great for me. I only use the Klonopin maybe 7 times a month in the evenings, but I was wondering if something like Hydromet would work better? I was prescribed once for a cold and nothing has ever calmed me down better. What are your suggestions?
Brief Answer:
vistaril is a safer alternative.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Klonopin doesnot work for you.
Hydromet contains hydrocodone. I would not advise you to use it because of its high habit forming potential.
It can cause physical as well as psychological dependence.
In my opinion, a better and safer alternative to klonopin is vistaril (prescription drug).
It lowers down the anxiety and also has some sedation like klonopin.
Discuss this with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.
