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 could have taken antidepressants, but I looked at my anxiety as a sign that there was some other issue that was going on in my system, and taking antidepressants would have only masked the problem, and it's not a cure for it.
The thing that took away my anxiety, was noticing my stomach issues, and that certain foods caused cramping and other negative physical ailments, and by not eating those things for a few days, my anxiety and depression went away as well, and my physical health improved. So it'll be good to find out which intolerances and allergies you have.
