anti anxiety medications like Ativan and there are many more one will surely be right for you but takes time to figure that out. Talk therapy with a licensed board certified psychotherapist such as a clinical psychologist would be big help. Immediiate things u can do are cut down or cut out caffeine in coffee tea colas chocolate etc. There is much more help and better prescription meds to help u and I wish u well and good luck! cp in ct

they will probably give you an antidepressant. dont think of it as a label of being “depressed”. many antidepressants also work very well with anxiety disorders. some doctors may prescribe anti anxiety meds like xanax, or valium. i dont recommend these. they are highly addictive and can be sedating. with three kids, you need to be on your toes all the time. whatever you do, go to the doctor. she/he will know what is best for you

most medications intended to treat anxiety are also addictive, so many doctors do not like to treat such problems using it. Many of the newer antidepressants, on the other hand, are very good at helping to diminish the automatic response of anxiety. I suggest that if you trust your doctor to treat you, you go along with whatever he suggests for that treatment.
