@raspberrytorte - I was on alprazolam for awhile, and that really helped, got taken off it, don't know why and started on clonazepam. I haven't tried any other benzos. I am going to beg pdoc for something at my next appt. Maybe at a lower dose, I wouldn't be so forgetful on clonazepam. I had been up to 4 mg a day when the forgetfulness got bad.

@BeyondtheRainbow I have that thing with my tongue too, constantly moving it in my mouth or if I stick it out. Fortunately for me it's not so bad it makes my tongue numb. In my case, the Seroquel causes it. When I've been off Seroquel, it goes away.

I'm doing okay this morning but I've had 3 panic attacks already today Some of it is this election. I mean, I'm worrying about it even when I'm trying to fall asleep! I've even dreamed about it though fortunately I dreamed Harris won. And I just have a lot of holiday stuff coming up - an early Thanksgiving with my extended family, Thanksgiving day with the family of one of my daughter's friends, my daughter's birthday, Christmas with my extended family, going to see Christmas lights with my daughter's friend's family, Christmas Day, and the anniversary of that sexual assault, not to mention ending up in the psych hospital this time of year the past 2 years in a row. It's overwhelming.

I tried to relax by doing a gentle pilates video, and it helped while I was doing it, but the effect wore off pretty quickly. I wish I could get this anxiety under control!
