Ok I guess I don't understand why you all continue to suffer with this crazy making anxiety. I have had it all my adult life and I am 76 now. So number 1 that I know is that traditional talk therapy does not help anxiety in any way. Will of course help with a lot of other things. I have a lot of experience with talk therapy and it has helped me with different things but not anxiety. Here is what I don't understand..why would anyone suffer needlessly when there are several drugs that will help. Do I wish that if I meditated I would no longer have anxiety. Well of course noone that I know of wants to take any medication. That is my family and friends. We arent druggies. Okay so that said why aren't you seeing qualified psychiatrist etc that will write the scripts and of course monitor you. I am not sure why you are wanting to withdraw unmonitored. This process isn't trying this at home thing. Please stop this. Recognize that you have a treatable condition and please get treatment
