No lexapro hasnt been working for a while. I was on a very low dose of xanax as needed and it helped tremendously but my doctor has switched to a no controlled substance policy and I cant get anything it seems. I've tried vistaril and it was horrible. I couldnt stay awake

Let me tell you something, I’m getting over my intrusive thoughts due to GAD , one day I just decided to put my mindset in prey and not the victim of anxiety anymore , I trained my mind to say that everything is due to anxiety take a deep breath and be myself that’s the first step if you want a change DROP the victimization paper . I’m not taking any medication just a natural med called Ashwagandha KSM-66 you can get it at any store , it really helped

Meditation and take a lot of deep breaths and breathe out slowly after each deep breath. I’m am weaning of Xanax due to memory loss from the drug. I also take Hydroxyzine and it helps my shakiness. I may try Buspar again when I’m off Xanax as it is not a benzo. Dr’s aren’t giving out benzos like they used to as they are abused too much. You may want to try Buspar. Good luck!
