So, I tried to stay away from benzodiazepines for the past year - the thought of being on meds indefinitely is a turn-off to me. I realized a couple weeks ago that I really need to be back on an anxiety med: I've been grinding my teeth, clenching my jaw, chewing the inside of my mouth, having panic attacks randomly, and cannot sleep at night. I was so nervous going to the doc about it. I hate asking for anxiety meds, but the doc was very understanding and empathetic to my situation and seemed perfectly fine with giving me the rx I needed. I am so thankful! I will finally be able to sleep through the night, and the teeth gnashing has already stopped! So glad there are still decent docs out there.
