Okay I'm def gonna talk to my therapist next Friday about some anxiety meds. The Valium really helps. What else do people take for acute anxiety that feels similar?
@Tanuki how did you get a script for that?
@Momentrabbit @Valerie_Elysee I dont want something I take all the time - just like once a week for social functions would be good. I have like crazy hyper focus and thats the opposite of what I need for this I think. I get overstimulated by humans pretty quickly
@Fuego Just kinda happened across this, but you might want to look into clonazepam? It's not an easy medicine, but it can be used as a PRN. (by not easy, I mean it's an addictive substance if misused and has bad withdrawal symptoms if you get addicted to it. but small doses when needed have been a massive help to me.)
@Felthry You're the second one to suggest it to me. I'm not worried about addiction so much because my usage would be like on average once a week, but it sounds exactly like what I want.
@Fuego @Valerie_Elysee ugh. Humans are the *worst* like that.
@Fuego I have a scrip for a "super anti-histamine" (I don't have the scrip on hand so I can't give you the name right now). It does have a rather long effective time (it will hit me for 12+ hours), but I'm not 100% sure that said duration isn't just the scrip needing adjustment.
