Any alternative medication solutions to anxiety other than anti depressants?
Question:
Answers:
Buspar treats anxiety, so do benzodiazepines but some doctors do not like to prescribe because they are addictive
Some examples are Ativan, Klonopin
If you have something more complex than anxiety alone it is dangerous to treat with alternative solutions alone
It it is anxiety alone you can work with alternative solutions which require a great deal of work and self dicipline, but work well
Biofeedback works and one can purchase devices to help
Meditation can help. Jon Kabot Zin has tapes and CDs available also you can read his books Wherever you go there you are and full catastrophe living
Yoga and exercise can help a great deal
If you have true depression or bipolar disorder you are going to need medication treatment as well but these other things will help you.
Talk to your doctor and determine if alternative therapy alone is a safe option for you. If it is by all means do it. You must work very hard, but you can go without anxiety medication, but only if that is your only problem. Not if you have another problem or that could be deadly. Get conventional medical approval prior.
Also avoid all caffeine if you have anxiety and you might want to drink relating teas like camomile or tension tamer than you can find at the grocery store. They are mildly relaxing.
