I have had a similar experience with anxiety. You should discuss this with your doctor first, but this was what worked for me. For short term relief, I used the herb Kava, and that seemed to work very well, and long term was put on celexa, for about 6 months. You said you didnt want a prescription drug so talk to your doctor about other long term strategies. But kava is great in the short term, especially for situational events if you dont take it regularly. As a caution, kava and alcohol should neber be taken together. Things are better on that end for me now. Lyme can cause anxiety, and anxiety can make your symptoms worse, so hopefully this helps. Good luck.
