gemini that’s what they make those little nips of vodka and henney for!!! nervous high driving. just kidding. i dont know, i dont even think youre supposed to be driving on anti anxiety medication really.. i dont take anti anxiety medications. malt liquor seems to take the edge off for me.
smoking relieves anxiety for me too, tho that is something i do want to stop. i have the worst smoker’s cough. it’s so unattractive for someone under the age of 75
“do most of you guys take anti-anxiety pills when you feel stressed/anxious?”
I’ve never taken prescription medicine to sleep or relieve stress. But I’m not originally from this country. When I first arrived, I was flabbergasted at how many people take meds and/or are in therapy. Why is everyone so over-medicated? (Is it in order for them to deal with foreigners like me?)
Honestly, gemini, I take them for true text-book panic attacks, which are more frequent these days 🙁 I’d never just pop one for the hell of it. They do have the propensity to become addictive so you have to be careful. Talk to a psychiatrist for your own situation and let him/her evaluate and go from there.
sooo – serious question here
do most of you guys take anti- anxiety pills when you feel stressed/anxious?
It’s funny b/c am sorta a nervous nelly but nothing too clinical or nothing that impedes my work/life so I haven’t ever taken any pills.
However I have developed over the past few years a total fear of driving on highways that I don’t normally drive on.
I LOVE driving in the city with all the madness etc – but I have had 2 panic attacks while driving on the highway and it’s really scary where I just want to pull over
suggestions? – do I really need to take a pill for something like that?

It worked for Frances Farmer, Snappy.
Drinking doesn’t compare to Xanax, they’re different things DIBS. And I can’t drink in a stressful office meeting – for example.

One good movement can turn a girl’s whole day around!
I’d rather have the pill than a pint!
or is that I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy?? 🙂
