anxiety….?
I have really bad anxity i have had it on and on for about 2 years. basically when imk unemployed..i havde triued herbal tablets but they dont help as much as perscription meds. But the downfall is they make me so drowzy. What can i do?.
Chosen Answer:
First, seek professional help – if you can’t pay, you can still get the help from a local government agency! Check your area!
Second, if you have prescription meds, it’s because a Doctor prescribed them for you. Go back to the Doctor and explain why they are not working for you – stop taking “self medication” which is the herbal stuff. Some herbals have steroids and can and will harm you!
Third, create changes in your life! Even the smallest most inconsequential positive things will lead to bigger and better things for you – when you wake up in the morning promise yourself you will smile at least 100 times that day – no matter what! Smile even if things really aren’t going all that well – SMILE!
Forth, pick one item and make a small change in your diet – if you drink a certain amout of coffee, coke, beer or wine each day – drink a little less and each day less until you no longer consume any.
Five, YOU will notice the changes yourself because it will reflect in your attitude and personality – so go with the flow!
Good luck!

I have anxiety and I go to therapy and take Zoloft.
If neither of these are options for you, you can try breathing exercises and body relaxation exercises. You can also do other things to get your mind off of the anxiety. Keep track of your thoughts when you feel anxious. Are you putting yourself down? Doubting yourself? If so, think positive thoughts, build yourself up, write down “I can do this” or whatever helps.

When I was having that problem with Klonopin, I spoke to my pdoc about breaking them in half. I can take the half, and then if I feel I need to I can take the other half later. I would talk to your doctor first before doing this though. Good luck.

If you have a relationship with Jesus and commune daily with the Holy Spirit, most of your anxiety will go away because you will experience measures of peace, joy and hope from God that will transcend your physical mind. All you have to do is believe that Jesus died for you, confess Him as savior, and the Holy Spirit will come and make Himself one with your spirit. You will feel His life-giving presence as you talk to Him, obey Him and ask Him to show you His love. Bless you!

As a fellow sufferer, I can tell you that there are great meds that shouldn’t make you drowsy. You should go back to your doctor, or find another one. Tell him you were either on the wrong med, or on the wrong strength. Explain everything, and he’ll work it out for you. Don’t give up!! Panic and anxiety attacks are so unnecessary. You’ll be in my prayers tonight. Please make an appt. ASAP.
