Anxiety Meds

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Dr is wanting to put me on anxiety meds. I told her I don't want any the mess with my liver ( I have iron overload in liver). I am trying to protect and nit let any other harm come to my liver, so, the question. Are there any anxiety meds that won't mess with my liver that I can take?

I also have enough iron to build a tank but have been on venaflaxine for 3 years with no problems so far.

I been taking xanax for axiety and since I have to get phlebotomies every 6 weeks I don.t worry about it. If it does have iron in it, it's only a minute amount anyway.

Like I said before, I've had iron overload for 20 years and never worried about taking anything that had iron in it. Just keep away from liver and iron pills and you'll be just fine, as long you keep up with your phlebotomies.

I've had diagnosed PTSD for 22 yrs (rated 100%, solely for ptsd) and have only taken meds twice, for it, each time for about 3 months. I believe if the meds aren't for something critical, don't take them. These days I worry about kidneys and liver. No problems, yet, but why chance it. The VA doesn't really care about us and uses meds as an easy treatment. jmo
