Although medication is a good start you can also do many healthy methods to deal with anxiety including lifestyle changes such as:
Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet. Don't overeat.
Get enough sleep.
Exercise regularly.
Limit caffeine and alcohol.
Don't use nicotine, cocaine, or other recreational drugs.
Learn and practice relaxation techniques like guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, tai chi, or meditation. Try biofeedback, using a certified professional to get you started.
Take breaks from work. Make sure to balance fun activities with your responsibilities.
Spend time with people you enjoy.
Find self-help books at your local library or bookstore
You can learn the Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short, by visiting http://emofree.com and downloading the Free Get Started manual. It was developed for exactly this type of issue, and has proven highly effective, and fast.
Best of luck to you.
well if your anxiety is that bad i would continue to try medications. there is paxil, lexapro, zoloft, welbutruin, buspar, prozac or stronger ones like valium, xanax, ativan and klonopin. there are a lot of medications out there and diff ones work for diff people. so if you stay patient hopefully you'll find one or the right mix that works for you.
I'm on apo-citalopram-w for anxiety. It's like paxil, but better. I had problems sleeping on paxil, but not now. Maybe try citalopram?
natural cures for anxiety didn't really help me. Instead, my dr. prescribed me Ativan and Zoloft, and now its under control. Hope that helps!
