Well yes, absolutely. The practice I go to is an all in one… they have medical doctors and psychiatric doctors (and a few other things) all in house and they work together to get to the bottom of whatever the problem may be.

Did you have any side effects from Kratom?.. it kind of made nauseous, I tried it several ways, with food, with juice, and on its own… same effect… someone told me it helped with pain, I’ve had 6 shoulder surgeries and thought it might help.
Used to take prescription medications but 90% of the time the meds would land me in emergency rooms.
I finally got on medicinal plant use via Dr okay.So I use that as neeed.
Outside of that, either playing this, finding something to binge that I know distracts me, or reading, painting(badly).
They were better off without me for a long time. Now they’re part of my 2nd ex-wife’s new family and while it might do me some good to have contact with them, I can’t ask them to forgive me for who I was when they knew me.
The arrow of parental responsibility doesn’t point that way.
They know my contact information and have carte blanche to reach out if they’re in need of anything.
That’s all I can do.

I wouldn’t take over the counter meds ,for some folks they have opposite effects ,some are more sensitive to chemical found in some of them and their testing have something to be desired. Use caution.

None so far, been on it for 3 years now, take it about 2 times a day for my work days, 1 spoon full of powder before work, and 1 when i get home.
About 3 scoops a day spread around every 5 hours. Green maeng da has been the best pain relief/euphoric feeling for me.
Try lowering your dose, or chug a bottle of water before taking it.
Thanks… I will look that up… maybe try again… I got addicted to Oxy and removed myself from that noise… just been baring it now… but on cold days… yikes the shoulders kill…
I feel ya, can also check out the reddit thread, lots of info on their as well

You seem cool and easy to talk with.
Wish you the best.
I have a big bowl on our kitchen table filled with fidget and sensory toys. Everyone in our house is always using them.
(They use these at my work to help highly anxious and upset students, they are such a great resource.)

I am ex military. But dont think its anything phycological that causes my anxiety. I could be wrong but I think mine are caused by a chemical imbalance. I was hesitant to take any meds and I take a low dosage. Just enough that I know there is a problem, but not enough it controls me.
But yea without my meds I can be sitting around watching a movie and having a laugh then out of no where a complete anxiety attack. Its crazy and makes no sense to me.

So for me dealing with mine only came through therapy and medication. Therapy really helsp having someone I can talk to who doesn’t stop me to talk about their issues, doesn’t compare my feelings to others who “have it worse”, and just listens is nice. As to coping for minor issues I find just putting myself out of that situation for a few minutes helps. For big events I try to do something that puts my mind at full focus so I can calm down as best I can.
Yeah bro, I was very fortunate. I’m glad it worked for me, and I’m glad you’ve got something that works for you. That sudden rush of dread, followed by your entire insides churning in a state of total panic is like the most uncomfortable feeling I’ve ever had. I hate it for anyone who suffers from it.

I have a therapists, doctors, and lots of medication. I’m not 100% sure if the General Forums of World of Warcraft is where I would have looked for answers first, but I’ve personally done a lot of worse things to be judged for in my lifetime.
My best tip: Any time you feel anxiety, go “F*** anxiety.” and mean it. Don’t give it power. Say F it. It REALLY helps me.
My doctor (natural type) told me years ago that I have General Anxiety. Anything will trigger it. The ones I know of, that trigger it, I stay away from!
I place my faith and hope on Almighty God, our Creator, which helps. Anxiety doesn’t have a switch to turn it off.
For me it comes from within. I work on it. I’m aware of it. My life experience (75yo) has helped. But in the end it’s our Creator that helps me.
FYI: I remember back in 1st grade having high Anxiety! Have had it all my life, but I’m much better now due to thinking and dealing with it.
For me it just took time and work (thinking and knowing) to somewhat overcome it.
God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the strongest medicine…and being determined to control it. But I still can’t run raids or dungeons. Causes too much anxiety, so I stay away from it. Playing the open world helps keep my mind occupied, or should I say clear. Playing alone helps give me peace and enjoyment. Just does.
Edit: I don’t take any pharmaceutical meds, nor drink alcohol for it.
Your post makes me remember this song:

See a dr and get meds man. Huge.
My bro took up drinking instead of medicating and is now homeless. Trust me doctor prescribed meds might be overdone but if you’re anxiety is that high they are better than self medicating I assure you.
Mines less heavy than my bros but I deal by doing only what I want to do. Aka video games/hiking/working a job I enjoy. I have like two real close friends that have proven trustworthy and avoid others.

I used to take Phenibut for anxiety (legal in USA; prescription in Euro/Russia). Helped out spectacularly. I could purchase it online as a “nootropic” substance. 300mg-600mg was perfect for keeping a clear head, as well as reducing/mitigating anxiety enough to retain clarity.
I only decided on Phenibut because I saw it is actually sent up with Russian Astronauts. Regardless if they are Russian, American, etc… Medicine sent up with Astronauts have to be thoroughly tested because…well…their are no doctors in space, so side effects can not be present for the Astronauts.
Talking to a doctor or other medical professional would be your safest and most intelligent move.
I’ve been considering purchasing another 70 count bottle again because my anxiety has slowly been building after a few years.

No. Anxiety is basically irrational fear of basic stuff. I couldn’t even go outside to put bins out at one point because I would to be too anxious. I would imagine all sorts of things going wrong.
