In reply to GAD/Social anxiety----What works??, posted by tina on October 7, 2001, at 16:54:33
On the behavioral side of things, look into something called Chi Gong (also Qi Kong and various other Americanizations of it's speeling). It is the reflective/meditative side of Tai-Chi. There are many websites and books dedicated to it. Practicing Chi-Gong led me to a much more peaceful mindeset which allowed me to get past a lot of the anxiety problems I was having. It gave me a much more peaceful state of mind.
It is very easy to practice and can take as little as 15 minutes a day but usually around 30 minutes is best. Do a little research on the web - it may help you ease some of the anxiety.
Also, some klonopin helped me the most in times of extreme anxiety/panic attacks.
