My anxiety was so bad that I was not able to eat or sleep - the only things I managed to consume were Gatorade and Ensure. Also, I was starting to get agoraphobic. Now I'm eating and sleeping again. I'd say that my anxiety is about 90% under control. I don't know why this isn't used more for anxiety. Maybe because it's old, it's cheap, it's dirty and it's not terribly lucrative for the drug companies. It's not a long-term solution for me but it will enable me to tolerate other medications that I've been unable to tolerate recently because they were too stimulating.

They are definitely good at calming down severe anxiety fairly quickly. Sometimes the oldies work the best.
