Shared experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Exercise 14 years ago

It always puts me in a good mood and definitely lessens my overall anxiety! Having that time away from stress and just to focus on exercise is really helpful and therapeutic.

Shared experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and SSRIs 14 years ago

I have tried Celexa, Zoloft, and Lexapro. They are all great, but if you can avoid going on meds, I would do it...I've been on meds for so long and I just wish I remember how it felt to not be on anything; I hope to experience that soon, but in the meantime, I'm still taking meds to cope with my panic attacks and anxiety.

Shared experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Benzodiazepines 14 years ago

Ativan is great for instant anxiety relief. It's not something I take everyday, but I take it as-needed when I have panic attacks and it's even just comforting to know that I have that as an option. That I'm never trapped in panic and there's always a way out.

Shared experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Kava 14 years ago

There is a Kava tea from Trader Joe's that's really delicious and really helps calm me when I feel anxious or stressed. Definitely give it a try!

Shared experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Yoga 14 years ago

Having anxiety myself, I have tried many different types of yoga to focus on my breathing and relaxation. I love Power/Vinyasa Yoga as well as Bikram yoga. Power Yoga involves a lot of movement and some very difficult postures whereas Bikram is always in a hot room and the classes last 90 minutes long with the same 27 postures in the same order each time. They're both amazing types of yoga and exercise and have helped me a lot with my anxiety.
