Will anti anxiety medications make me a zombie?

Anxiety Question:

Will anti anxiety medications make me a zombie and what would the symptoms be?

Anxiety Answer:

A small dose of Xanax should take the edge off and allow your mind and body to relax.

Avoid the controlled release (CR) version for less sleepiness. And over time you will likely not need the anti anxiety medication any more.

Hard to imagine right now, but having a relaxed (and usually therefore more constructive) approach to life for a while (a few weeks or months) generally has a way of removing the things that caused you stress.

At a minimum it will give you a helpful perspective.

Don't think you're alone, anti anxiety medication is one of the most common prescriptions in America.

Dealing with Anxiety Advice

Let Your Inner Voice Gently Lead

"The Still Small Voice speaks softly and repeatedly. It does not push or force. If we ignore it, it will patiently wait until we give signs of being open again to its message. The Voice may wait for months, even years until we are ready to listen again. The ego voice speaks in terms of 'shoulds' or 'oughts.' The feeling accompanying the Inner Voice is loving, invitational, gently leading but no coercive."

From the book titled "How to Stop Your Anxiety Now" by Dr. David Larson
