I'm already on anti-anxiety medications...3 of them. If the dosage gets upped any more, I will be a zombie. If I tell my doctor to lower the dosage even a little, my mind will be in a frenzy: having multiple thoughts at the same time, not being able to concentrate on anything (reading, listening to music, movies, people talking to me, schoolwork), not to mention getting majorly clammy hands, feet, and face, my pupils dilating like saucers, and non-stop talking on the phone, in person, or chatting online. That really turns people off. Still, even though I'm at a fairly good place right now with the meds, I think some sort of alternative medicine is in order. I've tried Kava Kava (doesn't do anything), Kratom (no effect), and Blue Lotus (a little buzz when seeped in wine, but not anti-anxiety effects). I absolutely positively can't do anything that has stimulant properties in it, obviously. I don't eat/drink anything with caffeine. I stay away from sugary foods. And I don't smoke.
