Have any of you tried acupuncture for panic and anxiety? I'm thinking I may start as a complementary "medicine" to my Zoloft, and eventually try to wean off. I've done acupuncture for acne and menstrual issues and it worked wonders, but am just wondering if anyone's done it for mental/emotional purposes. Any feedback would be great!

I may try this. They have an acupuncturist in our area. I'd be interested to hear the results. I've also considered hypnotherapy. My therapists office offers it.

I've done it. I'm not positive if it worked, but there were so many relaxing benefits that it can't hurt.

yeah, let me know. as stated even if it is relaxing it decreases the impetus of anxiety. i got out in the sun and that helped me a lot today. wish you well.

Hi

Yes I get acupuncture every couple of weeks and find it really helpful for my chronic pain as well as anxiety and depression so would definitely recommend it.
