Anxiety

Hello eveybody - I am brand new at this.  For the past 6 days I have been suffereing from severe anxiety including horrible chest pains and soreness - I went to the doctors and they prescribed me zanax but i would really hate to live off of a seditive.  I would like to know if anyone has any natural suggestions for me to help me cope with anxiety

Thank you for replying - I sometimes get anxiety or just feeling anxious when i am alone but i can usually just talk myself out of it.  I haven't felt like this for about 7 years but 7 years ago, I knew why.  Right now, everything in my life is great except for the way I feel.  Have you ever felt that way and just not known why????  I know 1/2 of me is worried about WHY and for right now, it is consuming me.  Taking long walks is a great idea.  Thank you so much.  The chest pain is constant for the most part and very uncomfortable and then I will start to have a panic attack, cry for like 30 minutes and then be ok for a bit and then it happens again!!!  Its scarey and really weird.

geeper
You should be able to take it during the day but if you are sensitive to meds then try the night time and see your reaction and then you should be able to gauge how it will go during the day
Most do function quite well on a daily dosage even at 2 a day
Please let us know how you make out

You are welcome and as I said in other post I learnt that the hard way went to 88 lbs tube fed not fun
Anxiety and stress make me not eat and I would go literally for days with NOTHING ( am not suggesting this ) and I have not got an eating disorder I just didnt want to eat...but then my teen said if you dont eat I wont not good so now I eat a lot of small healthy snacks daily and it does help so does the sleep
Sleep deprivation is very hard on a/p ppl and makes the disorder even worse
I am glad the meds are working and I am assuming they would help during the day as well......Can you drink Hot Milk?? I ask as it has a natural ingredient when heated is activated and I have it everynight with my sleep meds and it feels all nice and cozy and warm going thru your body a natural way to help the sleep come ......
If I dont take a sleep aid it works almost as good .........you can put cinnamon or a bit of chocolate in it for taste

Please do keep us posted and glad you have become an active member on the forum
Great to have you aboard
