medication for anxiety

Is anyone on any medication to help manage anxiety .

Before my diagnosis i was prescribed citalopram for anxiety  and my doctor took me of it nearing my assessment period .

After the diagnosis i have had CBT to help manage my anxiety ,

Which worked for a while but i see i am starting to see my reaction to certain situations and people are getting back to how it was before being on medication.

I have read a lot of peer reviewed research on this subject and it seems the community seems to be split that ssri's are no better than a placebo ,

Has anyone tried the CBDV oil for anxiety as research has been conducted on this and seems promising .

I know full blown THC/CBD is not good for me as i am a danger to myself after taking it as i seem invincible, then after it has worn off it seems like i am in an even worse place before taking it .

I did prefer the citalopram but wondered is anyone else being prescribed anything different which helps .

  • Research Propranolol and consider giving it a try. I found it very easy to get a Doctor to prescribe. I think it's probably best taken when and as you need it for Anxiety, rather than every single day. There's also specific research in relation to it's use and Asperger's Syndrome. It's most useful for that heightened physical feeling you get when anxious.

    Regards CBD oil specifically I got sent a free sample (50mg). I tried it last night and I think it helped. I'm tempted to try research where it's cheapest to buy.
