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 .

  • I find slow release propranolol really helps with the fight/flight/freeze response. Gives me headspace to have a word with myself and give things a go, or be more kind to myself when I choose not too.

    I changed from a low dose as and when required as recently found I was stuck on an exhausting roller coaster of emotion/stress etc.
