HI name is Maria. I am new here n I've been having anxiety attacks for 2 weeks. I have gotten with doctors n just give me medicine. I Google them n they sound dangerous for myself n my health. So I stop using them n I am trying chamomile tea to try to ease my anxiety. What u would u recommend stop the medicine or drink more chamomile tea.
Therapy and cbt. Knowledge is power to manage anxiety.
Learn deep belly breathing. Bellybio app can teach you that.zero caffiene and try to eat balanced meals and keeo hydrated. Take a b complex vitamin daily and. Try to always find stuff to be grateful for no matter how small or little. That feeling of gratitude and thankfullness is the total opposite of the fear and anxiety so it feels good on the body. And walk walk and walk somemire. Very calming.
at nught if it acts up chamomile tea is nice and passion flower tea will make you sleepy.

Thank u but my only problem is that I took my last pill 24 hrs ago n could still drink the chamomile tea.
Magnesium is very calming! I use naturally calm magnesium you can buy it on Amazon. Curious though you made it two weeks on the medicine then decided to stop why? You probably should taper off your medicine not just stop. Also medicine can be bad for your health but so can constant anxiety and worry.
What pill did you take that doesnt allow chamomile tea?
It was clonazepan pill having just half
Ok I am just taking half of Clonazepam
Shame on your doctor that that eas the first choice of meds! Klonopin is great but better as needed. And a last resort unless tremors are involved. Thats a very addicting drug for first line use. I hope tess reads this. She can be of help here. Half of what dose? You can still have the tea love. Its fine
Thank u so much I really needed the advice.
You might not like this advice. But you have been on it two weeks. And i dont know half of dosage of what amount so..but if you were only taking 0.125mgs (1/4 of a 0.5mg pill) once a day, then that is a very small dose and you should be ok to stop. If you were taking more than this on a daily basis then you may wish to taper off by reducing your daily dose by half for a couple of weeks before stopping. For other people who may read this, if you are taking a higher daily dosage of klonopin or any other type of benzodiazepine DO NOT stop abruptly. Anyway, there are other ways to manage stress without medication such as talk therapy with a counselor.
Klonopin has a long half life so you wouldnt feel its withsrawl effects for about 40 hours of the last pill.
Yes its a 0.5 half of the pill
Can you half the half for two weeks? Taoer it off? Bring it one forth a pill? Did you only use it ince a day?
Twice one half in the morning n the other half at night
You cant just stop. You have to taper this. The winthdrawl will be bad. So first call your gp and tell him you want off. Ask him if he knows how to taper it. And to tell you. Otherwise half the dose for two weeks. Ine fourt the oill instead of half...You cant just stop it. Its a potent drug. Wean off it so it goes smoothly.two week intervals. One pill stay in your system for ten days so you know, reread what i wrote you above. And call and tell your doctor. The best scenario is to get a osychiatrist asap and he will helo you wean off it and if needed replace it with a non addictive medicine.
Yes mam
i know this isnt what you were looking for but im glad you came onto the forum. Now you know you cant stop this med cold turkey and have to taper it down. So you just saved yourself some very uncomfortable experiences.
I went yesterday to a pyshistrist n she another medication that is called Buspar is not addicted
Is that good medicine
