Presciption drugs like benzodiazepine tranquilizers such as alprazolam (Xanax) and diazepam (Valium) aren't all bad. They can help you cope with overwhelming acute anxiety, such as may occur when there is a sudden death in the family..
When you take tranquilizers day after day to control chronic anxiety, however, as many people do they can actually cause the very problem they set out to treat. Thats because tranquilizers are addictive according to many Medical associations and MDs. Your brain and body may develop a physical dependence on tranquilizers in as little as 4 weeks of daily use. Of course then when you try to quit using the drug, the inevitable period of physical withdrawal produces of course anxiety.
Tranquilizers have another drawback. They convince you that you need a medication to control your anxiety rather than tapping into your own inner resourses to deal with this problem through alternative home remedies such as deep breathing and relaxation techniques.
TREATMENTS:
Using tranquilizers interferes with the pursuit of treatment that is truly effective.
Before you start using those methods though, you should know there is nothing abnormal by being a high anxiety person. High anxiety people tend to be more intuitive, great listeners and very sympathetic people. They just need to know how to manage their anxiety better.
Relaxation, a response to calm you down. Techniques that create the relaxation response, a calmer mind and a more relaxed body are great for high anxiety people. A common and effective one is the focal-point technique.
Just sit quietly and comfortably in a place where you will not be disturbed and repeat a word, such as "calm or relax", each time you exhale. When your mind seems to wonder as is enevitable, don't worry; just bring it back to your breathing and the word. Do this technique for 10 to 20 minutes every day.
The only problem with relaxation response techniques is that they do not really help you when you really need them, when you're out and away from home and feeling anxious. That's why some recommend cue-controlled relaxation, which is a way of practicing your relaxation techniques so you can produce the same results even when you can't do the technique Here's how it works.
As you're practicing the focal-point technique, also perform your cue. It could be something simple like placing your thumb and index finger together. Then when you experience anxiety during the day, perform the cue. Over time you'll notice that your body and mind will start to relax on cue.
YOGA...yoga poses provide effective relief from anxiety. They work by relaxing tense muscles and oxygenating your entire body, which then quiets and calms your moods.
A great pose is known as the sponge. Do it three times a week or even try it daily if you notice your anxiety symptoms respond well to it.
First you lie on your back with a rolled towel under your knees and your arms at your sides, palms up. Close your eyes and realx your whole body. Inhale slowly, breathing from your diaphragm.
As you inhale, visualize the enrgy in the air around you being drawn through your whole body. Imagine that your body is porous and open up like a sponge so it can draw in the energy to revitalize every cell in your body.
Exhale slowly and deeply, allowing every ounce of tension to drain from your body. Stay in this pose as long as it is comfortable.
