What would you take for anxiety ALONE!!!
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hypothetically, if I no longer felt depressed but still had crippling anxiety what could I take? Beta blockers wouldn't help as they only treat physical symptoms not mental ones i.e. they don't take away the fear.

Tried beta blockers years ago but like you said they didn't help the mental effects.
Diazapam really helped me loads... but doctor said it can't be used for a long time - ie more than a month 😕.
I'm not sure why he's put me on citalopram - but all I can say is it tough with side effects.
However it's only day 4 lol.
From the lovely posts I've had I'm really going to bear with it and hope I'll finally be able to stop setting ever increasing restrictions on my life...

Have you tried the natural route? Wonder if that would work for you.

What about Mindful meditation? When I go to bed at night I listen to an app on my phoone which helps me relax. (you can do this whenever, I just use at bed time) It helps me decompress so I can relax enough for sleep to come. I hope you find something that works for you!!! Xx

The fact that a drug has POSSIBILITIES is very far from saying it WILL in your case. During trials of the drug it may have been one person in 10 thousand that got it! You have to take a risk sometimes, or you would never cross the road! The leaflet that comes in the packet states the risk of each side effect.
