Well, I got the name of a doctor today (from my therapist) who can prescribe. So I will go armed with this info and see what she says.
Sometimes it seems the things that are supposed to help anxiety actaully make me feel worse. My Chinese Herbalist has not been able to track a pattern yet, but I have only been seeing him for 3 months...so we'll see.
Can herbs interfere with these meds? Or cross-react? I wonder if anyone, even a Doc, would really know, as it is kind of cross-disciplinary medicine...don't know if one side really understands the other, and am pretty sure no tests are done.
My anxiety attacks are mostly like panic attacks, sometime mild panic. They are worst at times of conflict and change, (right now). It stinks not to sleep...then I get to have anxiety about whether or not I'll sleep. Yuk.
Thanks everyone for all the info, I really appreciate it!
