Is there anyone suffering from anxiety and finds it difficult to cope

@catmor been there! Still have difficulty swallowing but find it easier if a chew a bit more, then swallow with my head down. Works for me also when I have to swallow large pills and gelcaps. Here is an article I have posted on another Mayo Connect thread. Hope this helps you.

Anyone on Venlor and adco mirteron

How long dit it take to get better

I have a situation now that's causing me severe anxiety like never before - unfriendly men standing around smoking "weed" in front of my apartment building! It really gets worse when I am like a half mile away from entering the complex grounds. Walking to the front door is a frightening experience for me. What I do to counteract this is to walk an hour a day. That calms me down, put things into perspective and gives me confidence. So much so that when I come back from a walk, if the men are out there I just walk confidently by. If I didn't walk I'd be nervous and clumsy. So walking works for me. But having the landlord remove these people would be the best medicine for me.
