Ativan, Temazepam, Valium, Seroquel, Ambien,...

I've been on a ton of meds to take the edge off. All of them did the trick, but the most effective were Ativan and Seroquel. I try to stay away from them because they leave me feeling stupid and hungover and completely incapable of accomplishing anything. However, they were life-savers when my anxiety was so severe that I felt like something was pressing down on my lungs.

I prefer early-morning exercise, yoga, meditation, and long, hot baths to medication.
