Hey mismis - im a lottle late but welcome to psych central

you have received some good advice here - i just wanted to add have you asked your dr if there is an alternative to xanax? i am on cymbalta for anxiety and depression caused by PTSD - I tried 2 other meds before i found this one and it was presciribed by a psychitrist not a dr - my dr had given up by then lol and referred me to a pdoc

I dont know if youve noticed but there is a sticky at the top of the forum wiht grounding techniques - reading those may be helpful.

venting here helps too - this is a great place to give and receive support to get advice and give it when you learn somthing new - and even if its old sometimes we all need reminding of things.

So keep talking and asking it all helps - take care
