What are my choices for relieving my anxiety?

Anxiety options

Persistent symptoms or feelings of anxiety is your body's call to visit your health practitioner. Anxiety may respond successfully to meditation, psychotherapy alone or in combination. Prescription drugs and some herbs have been of help too.

If you are already taking a prescription drug for anxiety, don't feel guilty. But you should not combine your prescription with a sedative herb without your doctor's knowledge and supervision. Herbs and sedative drugs are a complicated mix which can result in dangerous interactions.

Also, do not stop using your prescription medicine COLD TURKEY. This can cause dangerous consequences. If you are thinking about weaning yourself from the prescription drug with the help of herbs, consult a qualified practitioner before beginning the weaning program.
