Anxiety issues?!

Anxiety issues?

I am suffering with different types of anxiety. I am married with 3 children...they are 9, 7 and 1. Recently, I have started having really bad seperation anxiety. If my sons go and stay with their grandparents, even though my husband and daughter are home I end up staying up till about 4 am cleaning things that don't need to be cleaned. I fall asleep and wake back up around seven to find that I have been gritting my teeth so hard for 3 hours it hurts just to touch my teeth together. I have also had a problem with social anxiety since my daughter was born. If my husband and I decide to go out, I have to return 3 times or so just to go to the bathroom, just because of nerves. I am extremely frustrated and short tempered with my family. I have no health insurance. The doctor here will pretty much give you what you ask for. I have a one year old so I can't take anything like Xanex that will knock you out. I need something light and cheap....any suggestions?

you are almost at the point I was at. xanax will not knock you out. It only knocks people out that don't need it. I took it for 5 years before I found a doctor that put me on clonipin. 1 at bedtime. now no longer take xanax unless really bad. From my eperience. I have to tell you it is so wonderful to live a normal life again. Go back to the dr. Tell your husband that you need to take med that might make you sleepy so he can watch the kids for a bit. But I think you will find that you didn't need him at all. Rember that it takes an hour for the xanax to kick in and that it only last 4 hours. I couldn't even walk my llittle girl to school couldn't even go inside the building . Couldn't go into walmart. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be normal again. Please please try it you will feel so much better. .5mg and you will not be down. you will be able to run and chase that baby. you will feel better really you will and be happy that you can go places and do things.
