What Do You Take And Does It Work? Posted: 03-13-07 00:53am
I've been taking some medicine as per the
direction of my doc for over a year and a
half now.( I don’t want to name the
pills as it worked initially ). At first
it kind of worked, it cleared the horrible
"black cloud" from my head (I always call
it a "black cloud" when people ask!), made
it easier for me to think. But it didn't
make me happier or anything, I know that's
for me to work on over time, I've been
taking the pills for so long now and my
life has come full circle, I feel almost
as bad now as I did when starting them!
What do you take and is it working for
you, do you notice a difference?

Hi there,
I had severe anxiety and nervous
breakdowns when I was younger. I'm only
middle-aged now but back when I was having
these problems it was not common to
prescribe drugs. In fact, most of the
drugs they have now didn't even exist.
But I was lucky in a way because I really
don't think drugs are the answer. They can
help temporarily but will do more harm
than good if used on a long term basis.
So what finally worked for me? There are
two things:
1. Passage of time and getting older.
Unfortunately, there's no way this will
help you quickly.
2. Breathing. I learned to breathe in a
certain way to calm down and fight off
panic attacks. I learned it on my own but
now there are methods you can read about
and learn from the web.
It may not provide all the immediate
relief you need at times (though you may
be surprised at how powerful it is!) but
it's something that will help you all your
life and will become more and more useful.
And it provides so many other benefits.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by
posting a link but you can get free
instructions and an online demo at:

Good luck!

Xanax Posted: 03-13-07 06:48am
I have been taking Xanax for almost 8
months now and it is working. I also
meditate which goea back to the practice
of breathing. I quit drinking, smoking,
and caffeine and exercise regularly.
These are the things that help me.
Later,
OE

All medications work differently with
everyone. What is good for you, may not
work for me. Work with your doctor to see
if there is anything else that you should
take. Taking vitamins for it does not
always work either. Good luck.

St John's Wort is supposed to be a good
natural remedy. I don't know about you but
I always feel better after exercise as
well.

I had taken a course a year back. It’s
Theramood product. It worked very good for
me and I believe it has given me some long
lasting results as I feel mentally
relieved and elevated even today. You may
find a suitable product at their site
theramood.com. I tried a bunch of meds
before and the placebo effects of those
didn't last very long.
