acupuncture and anxiety relief

[brodytexas]

I have been fighting anxiety for a period of time and have recently started getting acupuncture with good results. Are others experiencing same

Hi brodytexas, I have had 6 months of treatment with Acupuncture in the past.

They were meant to reduce my migraines and daily tension headaches. It was such

a worthwhile experience because it not only relieved the headaches but the bonus

was it reduced my anxiety. Good Luck and continued success xx

Haven't tried Acupuncture, but will as it may help! I just turned 80 & didn't think there was anyone near my age on this site --Am older & living alone & struggle with Anxiety all my life. Have worked on many of my fears, and some are quite lessened; but, other's still working on!

For 10 months I was on a med which helped with anxiety but the side effects made my life ugh, Nothing against anxiety medicine but for me no. So I tried acupuncture and I thought hey this really helps. What I read is acupuncture does not have to be forever. So many positive reviews. So I thought why not. It has helped me.

Yes, I think acupuncture would be a better choice than meds., as not really any side-effects that I know of! I am taking a Benzo., and have for years --Very small dose & it does help some!

I also go see my acupuncturist when my anxiety gets the better of me. I literally walk out of his office feeling stoned. That turns into a calmness that lasts quite some time.

That is what I found out for myself. I did not want to continue anxiety pills and their side effects and was looking for something else to help with my anxiety. Yes I also have had excellent results with acupuncture for myself and will continue
