[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay far away from benzo s . They are horribly addictive, and have bad side effects. You need more and more over time for the same effect. Cardio as long and hard as you can manage helps a lot of people. Also, you could try an SSRI until you feel better and ween yourself off again. It doesn't have to be forever. [/quote] It is so so sad that Xanax and the like are addicting and high-risk for dementia. Exercise works for the day, but nothing takes the edge off of my evening ruminating and healthy anxiety descent into madness like Alprazolam. Breathing, distraction, meditation - all very poor substitutes. I have reduced to 0.5 mg nightly dose- pretty close to a placebo effect at this point.[/quote]
