Hello
I have had depression for 40 years and anxiety for 30 years.
My anxiety manifests in excessive sweating. When Im having anxiety, more likely than not, I am sweating. Not all the time can other people tell that Im sweating but there are times when people can tell. I would rather have a rapid heartbeat as opposed to sweating
I started taking Xanax [pronounced Zan-axe] (1.5 mg per day) and I turned my life around. I couldnt work before Xanax but I was working while on Xanax.
But my doctor didnt like me being on Xanax. I live in Canada and the College of Medicine frowned upon the use of Xanax. I entered hospital and I came off Xanax. That was 7 months but my anxiety attacks are severe and I have asked my doctor for a substitute to Xanax, but Im not sure what I can take.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could take instead of Xanax, which I was on. The anxiety is so bad that I am willing to go back on Xanax but my doctor will not prescribe it to me. What tranquilser can I take that will help with my anxiety.
I have taken Quintipine (Seroquel) but it didnt help. I am taking propanonol , a beta blocker, but it does nothing to help. I see my doctor in about a week and I want to know what valid options I have.
Is there anyone taking Xanax and your doctor doesn’t have a problem with that. In Canada, my impression is that Xanax is considered a dirty drug?
Thank you
Mark
Ps, I have tried mindfulness, meditation, CBT, etc but I dont feel it helps with my anxiety
