So about once a year something unexpected happens in my life which I find almost impossible to handle. I decided to go see a doctor today about my anxiety. I got an appointment with a nurse practitioner and we talked about symptoms etc. Then she prescribed that I take Vitamin B-50 complex daily and exercise at least 10-20 mins. a day outside... For the summer months that makes sense, but what about when it's raining??? Oh well I'll figure that out later. At any rate she prescribes Xanax. Seems like people have mixed feelings about this. It can be addictive. I took one today. I nearly keeled over I was so tired. I'm not sure I like it, but at the very least it did take the edge off long enough for me to relax & put things into perspective.
Hopefully I"ll never need it again. I wouldn't want to get addicted, but it was so hard to relax... I'm going to try and take the Vit B-50 and exercise maybe that will cure everything.
