What Can I Take For Anxiety and Insomnia Other Than Prescribed Meds?

hi... I do need something for anxiety.. My T is definitely lower than 7 weeks ago but my anxiety levels are on the rise... I have 3 Xanax pills I was given until i see my primary care physician on April 30th. I got them cause I had a panic attack and the urgent care doctor gave them to me but he was not happy about it. I still have the hydroxyzine too. My mom is now here with me helping me. Last night I could not sleep at all I was vomiting shaking you name it!!!! And it was not that T was crazy .. It was my mental state ... I also got some magnesium which I saw on this forum that some take it to help sleep.. What is your intake???

 

Several options available. See my initial post and the others in the sleep thread...

As a long term solution I've heard that mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) can help with anxiety.

 

Physical exercise like running helps with anxiety and depression according to MANY clinical studies. Meditation, mindfulness exercises do the same. Forget pills, because their side effects are often bad. Latest research also shows the link between gut microbe and the brain and especially the moods. In fact, most of the serotonin (~90%) in our body is created in the gut by bacteria. So maybe also eat healthier and focus especially on probiotics.
