I would just caution to not underestimate the power and spectrum of the plants of the earth. In your case, Lemon Balm tincture.
Longer term you can explore whatever meds you want. But for right now emergency use, Lemon Balm. It can be taken with meds.
That kind of anxiety doesn't just happen for some unknown mysterious reason. Unless you are probing to explore things like cortisol and bacterial infections and food choices, meds will at best help control the symptoms but do nothing to address the cause, which will likely continue to progress and morph over time.
For right now here today though, you need some relief! I've been there. I know exactly the kind of torment you have described. And I've tried a zillion things. In my own emergency stash for such times I carry my proven winners....1)Lemon Balm, 2)Xanax, 3)Klonopin. I much prefer Lemon Balm because at a high enough dose it delivers the same kind of rapid calming that Xanax does, except with some mood boost as well, not much sedation, and a clearer mind instead of a foggy mind.
