Merry, thank you for responding and for sharing your experience. Oh yes, I’ve had plenty of blood work (all normal) and am scheduled for my annual physical at Mayo in March. Will let you all know if I learn anything new about treatment for anxiety!

I have an important update for all of you! A physician who has spent 4 years researching what is known as the “gut-brain axis” tells me he is convinced that anxiety, depression, and illness in general, does NOT stem from the brain but from the gut. If crucial microbes are depleted or off balance in the gut, you will be ill. He recommends a probiotic with the highest number of Lactobacillis you can find — I got mine at Costco and it’s called Trunature.
So I now eat yogurt for breakfast, have a cup of Kefir in the afternoon, and take the probiotic capsule following dinner. It is not recommended to take a probiotic on an empty stomach, or in the morning when most people take other meds.
After I added the above to my diet, I felt considerably better within a few days. Am I perfectly well? No. Uneasiness is my companion. But I have not had an anxiety attack in 2 weeks. For me, that’s improvement! Try this safe, relatively inexpensive, easy approach, and see if it helps you. Then let us know. Peace to all!
