I know there have to be some good old fashioned overachiever types who also battle with pathological anxiety! Any advice on treatments/strategies that worked particularly well or badly?
I have generalized anxiety and panic disorder and for some (retrospectively) insane reason I decided to enter a competitive PhD program. So, a lot of self-imposed pressure and I'm basically trying to figure out how to manage it all without driving myself completely nuts.
I've been treated on and off for anxiety depending on how much it is impacting my day to day life. Right now I'm in the first few weeks of a Prozac regime (40 mg/day) because I don't tolerate Lexapro or Citalopram very well. My doctor also gave me an Rx for Klonopin, but I think he intends to wean me from it when the Prozac kicks in. The Klonopin has been working fantastically for the last few weeks, but since he probably won't keep me on it forever, I'd love some tips on how to balance anxiety with a heavy work load. Thanks!
