Anxiety
My anxiety is getting worse as I get older. I can’t leave my apartment some days. There’s nothing in particular that worries me. I have “unsituational anxiety “ that just comes whenever it wants. I meditate, breathing apps work best, I do art daily, it really brings peace. I’m currently prescribed Citalopram 40mg /day. My doctor won’t go any higher in the dose. He won’t prescribe a PRN (as needed) medication either, like Ativan or anything similar. Anyone else in the same boat as I am? Or any advice , any natural supplement suggestions? I’ll try anything! Thanks for reading!
I'm sorry you have to go through this. I wish I had a magic wand, or even a suggestion that might help! Have you been referred for any types of therapy?

I don't think your reply has come through properly??
I couldnt think of the herb that was on the tip of my tongue last time, but I have remembered, and it's called valerian. You find it in a number of different herbal remedies for anxiety - I used to use some from the supermarket, but I am in the UK so I can't really recommend them for you. It's actually also in the pet spray I use for the dogs to keep them calm! I love essential oils. I am not actually sure whether they help at all, but there are a number of them which are said to be good for anxiety, including Lavender, ylang ylang, Chamomile, Bergamot... You can apply them topically in a 1-2% ratio with a carrier oil/lotion, or you can diffuse them. Might be worth a look!
