so my anxiety has been through the roof the last several months. Job change, having trouble with new job (which I love in many ways), but feeling very incompetent and like I’m blowing it.
I have had GAD for ages and it can flare up, and it has flared up big time now. I had hoped kava would keep it under control, but the anxiety is breaking through big time. I take an ssri and occasional Ativan. Doc prescribed buspar to see if that would help, but I still need a few more weeks of that to see if will help. Meanwhile, I am having very physical symptoms of my anxiety. Not a full blown panic attack, but very close to it.
Not sure where I am going with this, but any thoughts on getting kava to work here? I tend to like heavy ones. It seems to help short term, but I still turn to my meds. I seriously need to get a grip!! Suggestions appreciated and bula!
