I don't like meds either. I tried to live my life using vitamins, diet, excercise, etc. I did use beer at night to relax. Well, at age 22 I experienced my first panic attack and was started on valium and meprobomate. It took a while to work and as the years went by I gradually was able to reduce the amts. That was until my thyroid went and I had to take synthroid. The thought of a lifelong med make me vomit. It also, caused depression to occurr and the anxiety to increase. That started AD's. Ten mg of paxil worked with benzos, but when I switched meds {not my idea pdocs}, I have never been the same. Am trying to go back to only benzos, but having a hard time. Yes, I'm scared of meds, they are so powerful. Phillipa
