Hello
I have always had depression anxiety problems. I thought i was fine for the last year or so, but we recently moved and got a puppy. It seems that change has brought on full blown anxiety and panic attacks. I am taking ativan at night to calm down to sleep. It worked the first night, but the second night i became more anxious and it didn't work as well. I managed a pretty good day today getting things done, but have the cloud of anxiety following me around.
I took fluoxetine years ago (prozac) and it helped, but i gained weight on it and coming off it was difficult and it really messed me up.
Is there something natural, no addictive, non fattening, and effective that I could try to stop this squeezing of anxiety in my chest and help me relax?
thank you
