I take Clozepam / Konopin also for my anxiety and it does indeed help. Doc had me gradually going up on Lamactil atm too to try and help more.

I know exactly what you saying about the comments people say. "Just suck it up and go out, push yourself to get out and do things" Like its just going to eventually go away and its all in your head. Its such BS and a pain in the *** when people throw that at you. If you dont have anxiety, or any mental disorder for that matter I dont want to hear your opinion. I mean I wouldnt argue with Einstein about his theory of relativity. Why must they argue, comment, and otherwise tell his "how" to get through things they know absolutely nothing about.

Anyways now I'm being negative... lol, I hope the meds help calm your anxiety down, and your family and friends stop trying to be Psychologists/Pschiatrists like most of mine.
