I would start with meditation and mental focus, remember when an attack hits that is just anxiety, breath deeply and slowly, and try and calm down. If this ceases to work, I defiantly wouldn't jump strait to Lorazapam.
I have a bottle of Lorazapam in my bag, hanging right on the back of the chair that I am sitting in, but I never use it. It is a little too strong, and mood altering for my liking. After my anxiety got too much to manage my doctor put me on Citalopram, once a day. It makes me feel like I did before I ever had anxiety! With very little effect on my mind and body, just a little drowsiness the first week.
I told my doctor that I was a social drinker, and she said that as long as the two were not in my stomach, that the Citalopram would cause no problems, and start slowly to make sure my body specifically doesn't have a funny reaction. I now drink every weekend, and live life like I did before, and I feel so normal that I find it difficult sometimes to even remember that I have anxiety and take my pills!
how should i deal with anxiety?
