My mother is dying. I have always known I have had an anxiety problem for youth. Avoidance behavior, fear, afraid of asking questions, fear of no answer, sexual problems, first drug I ever was put on for anxiety at 19 years old, sinequan, 2nd Valium pen, 2 mg. Thru life I have had more than my share of traumatic events. I obtained several degrees but never went forward into the chosen field, fear, one was a doctorate degree chiropractic. Now as I as older I get paralysed in stressful situations . For past several years I have been taking lorazepam 1mg 2 to 3 times a day because it gets out of my system in 8 hours. Lorasepam not working that well anymore. Afraid to take another benzo that stays in your system longer. Antidepressants suggested. Afraid to take. 5years ago a dr friend had me try cymbalta 30 . I felt good. But sexual dysfunction made me stop. I am ready to try again, something like cymbalta, celexa, sinequan, xanax, or an older drug like Librium. Never took Librium but my uncle did. Helped him. Now I am taking lorasepam.1mg, theanine prnn 200mg, and just started throwing in Sam E. what do you think I should try.
