I am currently on a taper of Klonopin and have been frightened of it because my anxiety is prevalent every day. I have a friend who started meditating and told me how it has changed her life and how she's been able to drop meds because of it.
Now, a Bipolar 1 meditating! No matter how good my meds are, I still have a hard time concentrating on one thing at a time. But I went and downloaded some guided meditation apps and have found that they have talked me though how to meditate with running thoughts. It has made a huge difference. I even almost forget to take my klonopin taper sometimes.
Anyway- anyone looking for one way to get of of anxiety- pm me and I can let you know about the apps.
