Just introducing myself...looking for relief of anxiety and some people to chat with..

[maribelle]

:wacko:  I am completely new to this forum...If I make any posting mistakes..feel free to comment.

Also I suffer from acute anxiety. I am on methadone and a ton of Primary care doctors and phyciatrists frown upon prescribing medication like benzodiazepines to control my panic attacks due to PTSD. Wow..I sound like a mess. 

Feel free to comment if there are other ways you might suggest I relieve my anxiety naturally or with another type of medication. Thank you..and excited to hear from you all.

Good to meet you, @maribelle, and welcome. An introduction is a good start. I think you will find some new, like-minded friends here. There are some threads on medication, herbals, and discussion of symptoms and related topics. Some of the 'just for fun' topics are a good place to get to know folks.

I have a friend who has had great results with hypnosis. I have PTSD myself, and am working through getting an appointment myself. I'm trying to keep the use of meds to a minimum, and am not currently using benzos or any medication for the PTSD. I do use a combination / rotation of natural products, alternative therapies and chemical meds to treat my Ortho and neuro pain and crohns.

If you haven't already, make sure to check the rules, be careful not to ask for sources, and enjoy your time here. You will find many options to help you. 

Good luck and I hope you feel well for the holidays.
