I am on Xanax for more than a year, its quite relaxing and help me with the panic attacks and anxiety symptoms. That I normally order online.
Though I don't want to be dependent on meds, so I have started meditation and aerobic exercise, it also helping my anxiety issues to reduce a lot.

Xanax has never let me down when it comes to panic! I take a very low dose .25. I take it when I need it, started on celexa 10 mg. 2 weeks ago (also a very low dose) and I don't feel like I need the Xanax. I also see a psychologist every 2 weeks, which really helps. Best of luck, and remember this to shall pass.

I am learning that vitamins are HUGE in terms of supporting good health and preventing disease including anxiety and depression.

I went in for a blood test and learned I have the MTHFR gene mutation so it's hard for me to get enough folate. They put me on the right type of folate (vitamin B6) and I haven't had an anxiety attack since.

They're treating my high blood pressure with magnesium, holy basil and hibiscus tea and depression they're helping with therapeutic doses of vitamin D3. My arthritis is about 85% better with turmeric.

There are a lot of natural cures out there that are really effective.

xanax is effective, but can be addictive if you become tolerant to it and require higher dosages.

I was taking Citalopram for a while and it helped a lot. Then I ended up running out, it took 2 weeks to try & get it refilled due to my doctor and the weather. I had the worst withdrawal from it, so I have stopped altogether on taking it because I never want to have that withdrawal affect- EVER again.

So I've started my journey to conquer my anxiety without medication by doing yoga, meditating & crystal healing.

I wish you the best of luck on yours! :)
