I am American btw.

I told my psych that I suffer constant general anxiety that sometimes turns into panic attacks. I asked him about Xanax because i know it helps alot of people, but I do know about the chances for abuse.

He basically brushed it off and said no, try this first. He prescribed me what is basically a stronger antihistamine. Wow.

I tried it, and wouldn't you know it, nothing. Maybe i got slightly drowsy but thats it. So i told the doc. He then prescribed me a beta blocker, which helps people with high blood pressure. Guess what, didnt help either. Like at all.

I am going crazy with anxiety, and you know what doesn't help it? having a million orange bottles in my medicine cabinet.

Anyone else have a similar joke of an experience?
