Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

II have been through all of the anti depressants and now have started on anti psychotics just to sleep. seroquel 100mg does the trick. but during the day i was prescribed 10mg valium. suppose to take them 1 pill twice a day as needed but. they do NOOTHING. i went as high as 40mg and they do nothing. What is wrong? What comes next after valium? I had an allergic reaction to lexapro and i am a SAHM with a 9 month old. Ativan works but he wont give it to me and im not sure why. Klonopin i kept having to up the dose on so it was useless. What is next in the benzo dept? He is afraid to give me anything else at this point i have been drug through the mud.

Sometimes, our worst symptoms will correct themselves naturally with a little change in our method of presentation of the symptoms.
When it comes to allergies that are associated with anxiety, often the allergy symptom is a stress marker and something else is triggering the the known stress marker. I learned this after going through several different treatment, and was working on something else when the allergy symptom showed up and disappeared during the process of learning the technique.
Breathing, meditation, positive talk in front of the mirror, and figuring out what we really want the medicine to do for us (and this takes time, especially when you have been switching and still experiencing what you want to manage).
The other side of this is movement. Flowing movements to open up tensed areas naturally will often release anxiety related symptoms fast.
Best wishes! You are not alone.
