I take 15mg - Makes sleeping easy.
I can also begin to deal with the symptoms of the anxiety. If I don't worry about it - no symptoms.
If I have a symptom (dizzy, spacy, chest pain) I know it's not going to hurt me, and it will go away if I let it. The symptoms always go away for short spells and I find myself noticing how good I feel, then I think of anxiety and slide back.
Sooner or later the symptoms won't scare me at all and I'll feel better. Three weeks so far and it's better than it was.
Maybe it's just the medication but I just don't feel the same need to worry anout it. The symptoms aren't going to kill me so I need to carry on with life the best I can. Same thing people with any disease do.
I hope you find your way.
