MY anxiety is so high at the moment. I feel as if all of my nerves are on edge in my legs fingers and toes its awful. I am trying relaxation tapes etc but nothing is really helping. I hate feeling like this and with the current situation there is no let up to my anxiety. Any ideas on what might help me ?

    The only thing that helped me when I felt like that was Lorazapam ( Ativan). Unfortunately most doctors are now reluctant to prescribe this and all benzodiazapines due to risk of dependence. Give a try anyway, maybe you'll be able to get it.

      The doctor isn't being very helpful at all. won't prescribe anything else.

      The only thing that helps me is diazepam, but, like you say, they are SO reluctant to give it out, except in low doses and then only for max. 2 weeks. As Covid 19 is likely to last for much, much longer, and that's what's making my anxiety feel out of control now, it's terrifying!
