[quote=Anonymous]I take 500 mg of magnesium before bed and it helps my chronic, lifetime anxiety. OP, even if it will mean you have to pay some out of pocket, you really should see a good psychiatrist. When my anxiety attacks were debilitating, I saw a psychiatrist who helped me find the right meds and worked with me to taper the dose upward very slowly. Like you, I was sensitive to SSRIs; they made my anxiety worse at first. This is normal when you start an SSRI. He prescribed me a liquid form of Zoloft so that I could start at tiny doses (like 1/8 tablet equivalent) and work my way up. He also prescribed me Klonopin, and for me, that worked better than anything. Eventually I stabilized and then after a while I stopped taking all of that stuff, and now I just take magnesium. This was Dr. Portillo at Potomac Psychiatry in Rockville. He is wonderful.[/quote]
