Stress Center Peer Support

HI I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a medication that may help me. I have had anxiety for quite some time now and am sick of worrying, every week it seems I have or think I have a new symptom and its scares me. I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the medical worry anxiety and a drug that help it with little side effects so I can start to enjoy things again and not constantly worry about my health and what’s wrong with me. I have a prescription for xanax and take 1/2 a .25 mg tab every other week or so to try and break the cycle but am wondering if sometime long term might help better and not have such a high risk for dependence. Any suggestions on meds would be awesome, thanks so much and have a worry free weekend.

I would suggest you stay on the low dose of xanax. It's not a risk at all at that low of a dose and especially if you take it as needed. I only needed it 3-4X a month but lately some things are going on and I've noticed this month I'm taking it a little more. It's much better than having the horrible crying feeling all the time. I took one tonite about an hour ago and I know I'll sleep better. Don't worry. I think you're on the right track. The program will help and you may not need it at all after a while. If you do, don't feel guilty.
