[quote=Anonymous]With the help of a therapist, I've been able to control low-level, constant anxiety through regular exercise, sleep, and Xanax taken on an as-needed basis. The anxiety flared back up in my mid-thirties and no level of exercise could keep it in check, and I thought I'd have to move beyond Xanax to an SSRI. Turns out the mid-thirties hormonal shift was to blame--I started on low-estrogen BC pills and am now able to manage the anxiety again. I mention all the not because my situation = your situation, but to point out that there are lots of factors involved with generalized anxiety, and many different management techniques. The trick is to find a therapist or doctor that will work with you to figure out the best combo of therapy, meds, and lifestyle changes to improve your quality of life, rather than go with a one-size-fits-all approach of just meds, just behavioral therapy, etc. [/quote]
