Just as a followup to the above post:

There are also other alternatives if you don't want to go with Benzodiazepines or SSRIs.

There's a medication called Buspar (Buspirone) which is commonly...

Did you have any withdrawals coming off Xanax XR? Did you taper down? How long were you on it?

I only ask because Xanax is probably the most addictive benzo I've ever seen. I see people get hooked...

Hmm so I did some looking in this company - they aren't selling anything. This is probably a shill post...

I just love it when a company is so dumb they claim "Originally used in creating cures...

Hmm I've never heard of that before, I guess I'll have to go digging. Could explain why I associate my anxiety with severe nausea.

They just recently started selling CBD around my area after it was legalized. I guess I should give it a shot...

For what it's worth, Buspar did work moderately well for me. It took about 1 week before it really started to shine.

However I dropped it a long time ago for other reasons. Mostly because I...

Well you have to let us know which class of medications you have tried first...

Have you tried SSRIs (Prozac, Lexapro), SNRIs (Wellbutrin), TCAs (Remeron), Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin), other...

Just out of curiosity but what are some of these for you?

For me:

Playing my tuba, listening to music, getting work done, cooking, and watching my favorite TV shows. I also enjoy nature, walks,...

Hi nice to meet you too. Hope it helps being here and welcome to the community.

How would you know you had a tolerance if it was never working? Just out of curiosity, did you by chance bring this up with your doctor? There are other medication that may work better for you.

As...

I used to have terrible anxiety from poor sleep, to the point where I would wake up shaking and cold, unable to exit the bed. All because I had terrible sleep patterns and wasn't getting enough...

Sorry to hear about your loss. Loss and grief are never easy, but I'm sure we all are here for you in the best ways we can be.

As the previous poster mentioned, I too have you in my thoughts and...

I'm with you buddy. I can go a week feeling amazing and happy and like the world is mine, only to wake up on day 8 to the cold sweats and without a clue as to why my body and/or mind has decided I...

Honestly this is exactly what I do. From eating healthier, to living in harmony with the plants around me in the yard, in the woods. Nature can be very calming.
