Some natural anxiety remedies to look into are St.John's Wort, SAMe, L-Theanine, and Tryptophan. There's also cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and programs like Panic Away and The Linden Method, to name a few.

For me, the daily meds (Zoloft) did nothing for me but the Clonozapam that I could take when I felt anxiety coming on was a lifesaver. I haven't been on it for a couple years now and its been ok. You have to figure out what works best for you. Some medications might not work out but that doesn't mean you should give up on it. You just have to find what prescription and what dosage works for you. If you feel that anxiety is effecting you on a daily basis or really effecting your general happiness in life, I would say try the medication. If your anxiety is only a once in awhile thing that's more of an annoyance, maybe you don't need medication and you can try other ways to manage your anxiety. But don't let anyone tell you (besides doctors of course) what you should or shouldn't do. You know your body and mind better than anyone and only you can make the best decision for yourself.<br />Hope that is helpful!<br />AimeeAiméehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915969048532920780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-14372421392539148722009-05-08T16:10:00.000-06:002009-05-08T16:10:00.000-06:00thanks for that, i just got a prescription to proz...thanks for that, i just got a prescription to prozac.

Hormones can really swing post-partum. Way post-partum. <br /><br />I also found that when my children were little, my anxiety was way heightened for many different things. I never had anxiety until I had kids. Now they are 17 and 14 and the anxiety only shows up on rare occasion. Being a mom is hard work, and hopefully as your responsibilities lessen your anxiety will too. <br /><br />Smart girl for learning all the coping mechanisms you have, and thank you for sharing them. <br /><br />I hadn't flown for 18 years - and went to Mexico comfortably this past November - partly in thanks to reading your blog - and with a little help from small doses of xanax. I was able to remind myself that the feeling was just uncomfortable but not harmful, and I owe that to you. Thanks! Hang in there and keep healing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-26159347096186378102009-05-06T22:02:00.000-06:002009-05-06T22:02:00.000-06:00Good for you on so many levels - you went anyways ...Good for you on so many levels - you went anyways & didn't avoid and you were up front with your family. That can be so hard to do when those waves of adrenaline are coming! I like that quote from Dave Carbonell that says - do what will make you feel proud 4 hours from now.
