[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty much exactly like you minus the xanax. I started therapy this year which helped a lot. Even though I was already doing a lot of the things she recommended, it was still helpful to unload on someone who didn't need anything from me or who I didn't have to worry about how she'd react or if it would add to her mental load (like when I vent to my awesome husband or friends).

I also take propranalol as needed and also hydroxyzine, which I find pretty mild but helps me fall asleep. I tried both lexapro and prozac last year with disastrous side effects (stomach issues, panic attacks, I lost 8 pounds in two weeks on prozac!).

But I also wonder how much my anxiety is affecting my health - especially my stomach, I have a real tendency to diarrhea lately when my anxiety spikes - so I still think about meds. Not sure what I could try though, that wouldn't give other side affects. I have thought about HRT or the pill (I'm 46 and pretty sure I'm in peri). Some people say that helps with anxiety. [/quote]
