I also suffer from anxiety and was on every med you can think of for it. I’ve been off of them for two years and walk/run 6-8 miles a day instead. Tremendous difference. I wish you the best on your journey and hope you find something that works well!

The range of options given ITT is incredible


OP, just start with the best micro-dose of something and figure it out. I'll stand by a low THC of 2.5 THC gummy but a nice Lexapro 10mg may work best for you. But with anything, you have to give it 6 weeks straight up. Then, adjust as needed.

An absurd high percentage of Xanax uses become dependent over a short period. A doctor once told me the statistics and I was surprised. Don’t want to guess but I would stay away. Working out and cardio are good keep that up whatever you decide.

I take this before bed. I’ve noticed it has greatly reduced my anxiety as well. Different things work for everyone. This has definitely worked for me.

Good news brother. Everyone experiences anxiety. Find what works for you. As guys we want to hide it. I've been on lexapro for 3 years now. Also wellbutrin mixed in. I finally feel like "me". Anxiety will always be there but it doesn't have to cripple you. This is all so temporary.

Hemp head- I started reading up on theanine and I'm very intrigued. Basically same question as above, do you take daily for preventative or when you actually feel anxious? Also do they sell it at the store with all the other vitamins?



I take it daily as sort of a nootropic and blood pressure reducer. If I feel a bit of anxiety coming on, I'll take another and a swig or two of gin (which I know is not ideal).

It's available at GNC, Vitamin Shop, etc., and pretty cheap. Less than $15 for a month's supply.

Cymbalta is amazing but hard to quit. It does carry the common sexual side effect, just like all SSRI/SNRIs, but I have found that to be manageable. Cymbalta started working for me the first night I took it; I felt incredible. My stomach could not tolerate Zoloft or Lexapro.

Ativan does nothing for me anymore.

Weed sends my anxiety through the roof.

It's what I've been using ever since I started experiencing anxiety (which was exacerbated by strong weed which I have since quit, outside of drunken puffs). Really can't recommend it enough. Helps with blood pressure from the smokes, too.

Weed has gotten so strong these days. Mix it with CBD and your high goes from “heart pounding head spinning blasted out of my mind” to “relaxed and chill.”

I wish I could find bud that was like 11-15% THC instead of "AYYY frick YO COUCH" shite that gets grown nowadays. You basically have to be a 24/7/420 baw for it not to get you all kinds of twisted. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Gaba by itself is destroyed by your gut. You need to take phenyl-Gaba or phenibut but it is dangerous if taken too often.

I've seen cbd advertised all over the place but am a bit overwhelmed. I browsed tbe link posted earlier for tweedle farms and like some of those products but wouldn't really know where to start. I would probably start off trying one of the CBD mints or gummies, but my main question is do you take one everyday (or multiple a day) or only if you feel a spell coming on? I know it doesn't get you high so not worried about that, just curious what exactly it does and when to take. Also a dosage, looks like the ones I had my eye on range from 10mg to higher up

I smoke the bud. Different strains affect me in different ways. Some give me a little buzz and others don’t. Dosing is a very personal thing. Maybe try googling normal starting dosages for someone who is CBD naive. I think the gummies are probably dosed so that you just take one. Or you can try the oils. Tweedle farms is a great site though. Definitely recommend them.

I went to Hawaii and my gf at the time had a cousin and her bf who literally did dabs back to back to back to back all day. The dude would do dabs while driving I did one of those once and immediately became functionally retarded.

CBD oil worked wonders for my wife who has serious waves of anxiety. She would take it once a day and would really help her out.
