Can’t believe it took me this long to join an anxiety forum! I have an incredible life but havent felt like myself since anxiety started 10 years ago out of nowhere.

I tried eliminating it with Crossfit, eating healthy, and just plain ignoring it but its all short lived.

Medicine has been the only answer. I dropped from 150mg of Venlafaxine to 75mg and have been doing well. The only time I feel completely normal is when I add .5mg of Clonazepam which I take half of. I don’t feel high or loopy. It makes me feel normal and engaging which is how I used to be. So basically half of a .5mg allows me
to speak in front of a crowd, sit in a waiting room, get a haircut, go food shopping anxiety free.

I feel no anxiety going over a 10ft waterfall. Instead I get it from simple daily social gatherings which really pisses me off.

Anyways, happy to be here!

Hiya Loki nice to meet you and a very warm welcome here. I smiled when I read your post because I know exactly what you mean when you say you have no anxiety going over a 10ft waterfall, but it's normal daily activities instead. It is just how I feel so I know where you are coming from.

Welcome, I'm looking forward to reading your posts.
