Yea its seriously all in your head, you can stop it if you REALLY want to and believe you can.

Or like others have said marijuana will work as well.

my ladyfriend went through this....we went to the doc and hospital and they were just wasting our time. We figured out it had to do with stress and we worked from there. She is now in great shape.

I very much think it is in people's heads. Not getting time away from "real life" and having those nagging thoughts constantly.

being a worrywart does not help either. Which she is/was and we are now working on since the main symptoms are gone(drug free).

thats true for some people.

and as stated before even though a lot of people wont like it

a lot of psychiatrists will tell you that marijuana is the best thing for anxiety/depression since its non-addictive

I did / I am. The doctor gave me lexapro (30mg) and xanax (2mg bars) and I could take 60 of them in 10 days and that I did. I would personally stay as far away from either of those scripts as you possibly could, it was six weeks of hell for me to get off of them.

i was taking Amitriptyline but VA took me off and put me on Lorazepam

so far its helped quite a bit since i take it 2x per day instead of 1 amitriptyline at night

i have an old script for nortriptyline (almost the same structurally as amitripylyine), i used to take it daily for migraines but it did not work so i stopped, i later found out it was sometimes prescribed for anxieties. i might try eating one or two and see if i can get some relief.

Yeah I removed myself from both of those pills in early December and have been pill free since then. There were days I had taken 14-16mg of xanax and it was bad. I was going through rough times with my wife losing her job and that was my way of dealing with it but I had gotten addicted.

When I stopped both of those pills I seriously thought I was going to die thats why I am afraid to start anything else. I still have to take other pills for migraines and a few other things that cause enough problems so I am just leaving it at that.

I used to take nortiptyline for migraines but now I take topamax which sucks but stops them all together.
